    Probably just a regional thing.

    In the US it means East Asian, in the UK it means Southeast Asians.

    I guess most places default to the US definition unless they have a big population like the UK due to the US exporting their language through media.

    it's because they usually stuck to their buses. no idea if they were Japanese or Chinese, never saw them anywhere beyond talking pictures in some spots.

    Sorry bud, you weren't able to determine what country they were from by visual cues alone? It's over for you. He knows who you are, deep down.

    do they want me to try to remember and guess the nationality of people I saw from a distance 20 years ago?

    not going by "they all look the same" but come on. you try to guess the nationality of a tourist you saw across the street 20 or so years ago
