I've never understood why India (and Pakistan, Kashmir, Turkey, et. al.) is considered part of Asia and the citizens therefore Asian. The physical characteristics of the populations are certainly closer to Middle Eastern then they are to Oriental (I know, Oriental is an improper term, but you get the idea).

Biologically speaking they are Australoids and not Mongoloids (i.e., Asian). Middle Easterners are considered part of the Caucasoid race along with Europeans and Americans (North, Central & South) with the exception of North Africans (Egyptians, etc.) which are Capoids (not Congoids as the rest of Africans are classified).

It gets fucking confusing. I'll just stick with "Hotties", regardless of race.
