@deeksha2964 Also, as you said, Asians discriminate against their own. People talk of East Asian hostility towards South Asians but it also goes the other way. India has a huge problem with its treatment of Northeast Indians who look East Asian and broader discrimination against other Indians who have East or Southeast Asian like features who come from other parts of India. Not to mention other forms of discrimination against the varied ethnic groups of India like Biharis and Tamils, in addition to racism directed at neighbouring nations like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Rohingyas of Myanmar. Same thing in Southeast Asia, Thai vs Burmese, Cambodian vs Vietnamese, Malaysian vs Singaporean, Thai vs Thai Malay, Bamar vs all other ethnic groups in Myanmar and so on.

@illustryfe5354 Firstly, Mongoloid is outdated racial term from the 19th century referring to the shape of people's skulls. You can't determine race based on skull shape. Mongoloid and other racial terms are outdated and no longer used in the scientific community today. Brown is also not a racial term. So many diverse groups are "brown skinned" but that doesn't mean they're the same race.
Secondly, it depends on context. In the US, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from East Asia and in the UK, the first wave of Asian immigrants were from South Asia. So in US English, "Asian" refers to East Asian and in British English, "Asian" refers to South Asians. Officially on government documents, both East Asians and South Asians as well as Southeast Asians are classified as "Asians" regardless of how the term is used in colloquial language. In Asia, "Asian" refers to everybody from Asia. In Singapore, for example, all Singaporeans of Indian, Malay and Chinese descent are considered as "Asians". This is because Singapore is an Asian country and the definition in Singapore and other parts of Asia is most similar to the dictionary definition of "Asian". So it depends on context but at the end of day, everybody from one of the native ethnic groups of Asia is Asian.
Finally, some Indian groups like Bengalis and various Northeast Indian groups have East Asian admixture which is why some of them look Thai or Chinese.
