#1 is the closest to me. I think its the slanted eyes (sorry if that offends anyone) that are the key for identifying asians. So not indians and not middle easterners. Russia is in Asia last time I looked, but Russians have never been considered Asian. When did it become politically incorrect to refer to them as "Orientals"? Or has it...?
