FWIW, I also grew up thinking of Asians as "white." Just a slightly different looking brand of white, like a slightly different brand of bread. I remember seeing a special on South Africa in the days of apartheid, and there was a set of segregated bathrooms; the Asians used the one for whites, while Indians were expected to use the one for blacks. Based on my experience, I thought, well, yeah, 'cause Asians are white.
