I've often noticed Indian men checking the "Asian" category on profiles, not understanding the American view of Nationality follows more of a racial profile than a geographic one ( esp. since most American's don't even own a passport and have little knowledge of geography). In my experience, "Asian" to an American very specifically means, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese or Japanese with of South East Asia being the blur into "other". Indian men will often be greeted with "I thought you said you were Asian", commentary, if checking the "Asian" box under Race or Nationality.
