If you know me by history, you know what I'm talking about. Indians may be Asians, but they aren't Yellow people. People like you get the two confused.
I never said they were yellow people. More importantly, I don't get shit confused. My wife is Indian born and raised. I asked her if Indians are Asian - she says yes but not like East Asians. I looked on a map. India is on the Asian continent. I have to fill out demographics information for my half-Indian son, he checks the box for Asian whenever there isn't a separate box for Indians.
The genetic component is pretty straight forward as well:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3234374/...we show that Indian populations are characterized by two major ancestry components, one of which is spread at comparable frequency and haplotype diversity in populations of South and West Asia and the Caucasus. The second component is more restricted to South Asia and accounts for more than 50% of the ancestry in Indian populations.
So, yeah, not "yellow people" but still Asian.
