The “We” is mostly Americans, not even Europeans so much, and certainly not people from Asia like from the Indian subcontinent, Middle East, as well as Asian Russia. American English has for some inscrutable reason decided to adopt and stick with the term “Asians” to mean people from China, Japan, and Korea or south East Asian people who look like they could be from one of those countries (like from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Tibet, north-East India etc.).
