I haven't seen any hot Russian girls picked either; you know, those girls of that Siberian stock....

When people say "Asian," they often mean, "East Asian" as opposed to "South Asian" or "Southeast Asian" (or northern, western, and central Asian for that matter).

It's a problem of the word usage. I wouldn't suggest it's a matter of racism or a lack of geography/cultural knowledge.

The word oriental is out of favour for political/historical reasons.

As an aside, have you heard what they say about those Kazakh girls?
