Valid point.

Weird in its own way. White is a skin tone, Asian is a geographic location.

Defending either definition would be an exercise in absurdity and I'm not even going to try.

Yep. All of it is just emergent shorthand, and none of it makes literal sense. :) If we had some specifically correct terminology, it would likely be quite a mouthful, either including genetic terminology or some mix of geography and time period, but both of those would probably still be insufficient. Race basically doesn't really exist in any clean delineation.

Asian is also a skin tone: the Middle East is in Asia, but counts as White for the US Census.
