Yikes. The Belarusian TV stations that had been broadcasting empty studios and joined the strike.
Well apparently planeloads of Russians are now employed to run the media...

alright, this is getting ridiculous. i don't know whether some are confused or not but here goes an undeserved effort by me for something so obvious. the confusion and inaccuracy of identifying oneself based on their geographic destination (asia aka the continent) and then mixing it up with the racial identity behind the term (asians aka that certain kind of people) can be at best, described as ignorance, and i'm gonna let the worst description to your imagination. Because it ignores the difference of the specific kind of people named after the term and the continent where they live.
parallelly, one can say they are from africa, specifically north africa. where surprise suprise, people are actually white.yet it wouldn't be accurate to say those people are ''the african people''. as the term ''african people'' is generally and conventionally used for sub saharan africans. to put it in ABC, asian is used for mongoloid people, white for Caucasian. we just don't use the latter terms anymore because of their racist historicity. shouldn't have slept in the history class. and SO, you should have read that wiki, before posting it randomly.Spoiler:Although many countries use the term 'Asian' referring to people living on that continent, in reality, Asian usually refers to peoples of East, Southeast, and South Asia. Inhabitants of Southwest Asia, such as Arabs and Iranians, are more commonly designated Middle Easterners.3 The term Asian as used in this article refers to people from Asia who have a Mongoloid background (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Indonesians, and others

Indians from India are absolutely Asians. That's why this poor soul had to pretend to be black: http://almostblack.com/ Just to make it in a society that clearly plays favorites.
it's almost as if "South Asians" there refers to Indians...
i already explained this above, i'm not gonna repeat myself. but short answer is no, if you are gonna make indians as part of the asian people, you may as well make middle easterners too as well. otherwise, it's just arbitrary.

''middle easterners = west asians''. still the same thing
Spoiler:
The part you quoted is one person's opinion regarding an article of theirs?
I have no idea where you're from, but the majority of the article discusses who the term refers to varies by country but a great many of then can refer to Indians from India as some qualified variant of Asian.
I ain't quoting all the parts of that entry that say that, because that's a lotta quotes.

isn't it weird that Native Americans claim to be "Native" "American" while in fact they migrated from Asia? next they're going to partake in settler colonialism to show that they're real Americans!
Spoiler:
no pb, i got you covered. as you can see, spoilers tho, most cited scholarly at the wiki you posted agree with the conventional wisdom. and again, most countries don't use the term ''asian' pan continentally.

at this point, this is not even about turkish people not being asians, you are just trying to screw logic. in4 no one is native to any place because humans always migrated.

it's not about whether he cares or not though. it's about how this is the first time for him where the EU is now actively and effectively challenging him and will oppose him while as russia wants belarus to intergrate with it in its ''union state'' which luken resisted since belarusians are against the idea of Moscow centralizing their country affairs and sovereignty
