Try asking an asian aquaintance whose ethnic origin is known to you if they are from a different group of asians. For example someone who is korean if they are chinese or japanese.
I asked a Korean girl I worked with if she was chinese, her response might have been merited if I'd asked if she was some kind of monkey. She was offended at the suggestion that she was chinese. Acted like koreans were better than other kinds of asians.
The answer is no. There's an elitism tied up in ehtnic identity. The tighter the circle of etnic identity a person draws around themselves the greater the degree of elitism involved.
