Some believe that the Apache and Navajo came from Asian countries because of similar dialect sounds and tones and similarities between their languages and Asian languages. While pueblo Indians are theorized to have came from south America from pacific islands but either has not been fully proven.

India.but mostly everywhere they are the first people who came to United States =} im Indian lol

Actually I believe your wrong. They did not come from India Christopher Columbus discovered America by accident, thinking it was India and the Native Americans were already here, so he called them the INDIAns. No one knows where they started.

Anthropologist, and Archaeologist through DNA testing have discovered the origin of Indians is north East Asia.

India is considered a part of Asia. Many people use the word "Asian" to mean only people of Oriental ethnicity (the people with the epicanthal eye fold that makes the eyes look more oval than round) - however, if you use the word properly, it includes people of all countries in Asia, which includes India.

Answer 1

Asian, because India is in Asia.

Answer 2

Indians are mixed with Caucasian (Europeans) and mongoloids (East and Southeast Asians) and Australoids (Aborigines).

Answer 3

The binary described is unrealistic. Asian is usually taken to mean the physical features exemplified by prototypical Chinese, Korean, and Japanese individuals whom Indians do not resemble. Middle Eastern is usually taken to mean Arab or Persian features which similarly, Indians do not resemble. In terms of ethnographic, religion, culture, and history, India is in its own region (called South Asia) and should not be classified as East Asian or Middle Eastern. However, as concerns general geography, both Middle Easterners and Indians are Asians because they are both a part of Asia.

Answer 4

Geographically they are Asian. Racially however they are considered to be Caucasian according to genetic distance mapping created by Saitou Naruya (Japanese: 斎藤成也) professor at the (Japanese) National Institute for Genetics.

If India is in Asia do they classify as Asian?

India is an Asian country because in this sense we are talking about geography. In the same way Egypt is an African country and Russia can be considered an European country as well as an Asian country. Racially it would depend on where you are from; the United States and Canada share a similar racial usage of the word Asian as opposed to the British. Since Indians, Iranians, Egyptians, etc. are classified as Caucasoids by anthropologists, whereas Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc. are classified as Mongoloids by anthropologists, it would be improper to refer to a Chinese and an Indian as belonging to one Asian race. They are of two different races, and in typical usage, when referring to Asian, people are referring to THE Asian race. In the US and Canada, Asian refers to Mongoloids from Asia, such as people from East Asia and Southeast Asia. In Britain it is reversed, Chinese people are not being referred to by the word Asian in Britain, whereas an Indian is referred by the word. In the US and Canada, when people are talking about Asian people, they are not talking about Indians. Just like in the US and Canada, when people are talking about Africans, we are not talking about Egyptians. Its in new york and michi
