I didn't say it, you invented it.
I am talking about Asians in America and this designer did her show in America , in NYC. What I am pointing out is that there is an entrenched bias against dark skin / dark skinned South East Asians in East Asia . So this designer should have featured some, as she is taking a stand in support of diversity.
You are saying the British definition of Asian shouldn't matter but since East Indians are also classified as Asian in America, she could have featured some, but it is her neglect at featuring dark South East Asians, that I am most pointing out. In my posts I am not devoting my focus on her not featuring South Asians , my primary focus is the lack of dark South East Asians. East Timor is a sizeable part of Asia, but I never inserted them into the O.P. because odds are that modelling is essentially non-existent amongst Melanesians.
Iranians and Russians are classified as White. Siberians, if they are East Asiatic, would likely come under "Asian".
And while in East Asia as a whole South Asians are not even 1% of the pop, they do make up a significant minority in Singapore and Malaysia.
