Okay, this is not a serious question.

I have both South Asian and east Asian heritage. So if I fill out a form and comes to the part that ask my racial information, should I choose 'Asian' or 'biracial'?

Usually I choose Asian because I am too lazy to specify all of my ethnicity.
If it is an American form then dw about it. They have no clue what they're talking about. Just put Asian.

@Qwerty14 I started to apply job for American companies and I felt something not right about their questionnaire. Asian is not a race

I'd thought simple "Asian" without any clichéd embellishments, is fine.

I forget who, but I read somewhere (A [i]Readers' Digest[/i] page-filler probably) of one famous American film-star who reckoned whenever asked his race, always wrote "Human". Good for him"!

Asian isn't a race even but just a demonym of the inhabitants of Asia, Like Europeans.

@SW-User in America, it's considered as a race. For them, east Asian are the Asian and Indians and other brown ethnicities are not Asians

What sort of form asks what race you are? I can understand them asking nationality on some government forms.

Biracial is only used if you have another race

@Londonguy23 I am Indian and Vietnamese

@JBird Indians are Asians as are Vietnamese. Therefore choose Asian.

Asian, because they are both Asian.
