In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like "yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with" and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.
