Not-Asian Person: Can I ask you a question? What do people who are Asian but not, like, Indian, want to be called?
Me: I guess "East Asian".
NAP: But I thought the whole point was to stop using geographic indicators that assume a "Western" norm.
Me: Huh. I didn't think of that. What do *you* think it should be?
NAP: I think we should just call you all "Oriental".
Fell. Off. Chair.
