Other than the same Continental name, there not many similarities between the east and west of Asia. The west is normally based around farming communities, when it comes to China that is, however Pakistan does have its similarities with India; in other word, the sub- continent is pretty similar, however the west's more rural outlook is far different to the east. I believe this is to do with the ocean bordering the east, which as we know, enhances economic growth. With cities such as Hon Kong and Shanghai on the east coast, it is a perfect proof of concept.

Are Middle Easterners considered Asian?
It depends. Most of the Middle East is part of Asia, so it is not a stretch to call Middle Easterners Asian in the same way that Russians living in Siberia are Asian. However, typically the term Asian has become the politically correct term in the USA to replace Oriental (the word referring to the peoples of East Asia, like Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, and Japanese). This causes much confusion between which inhabitants of Asia are being considered by the term "Asian". Many Indians prefer to be called Brown or Desi to differentiate themselves from the preconception of "Asian". Middle Easterners similarly like to identify by national or ethnic group. The United States census, however, identifies all Europeans, Middle Easterners, and North Africans as being Caucasian. Egypt is in the Middle East but is in Africa, not Asia.
How would separate smaller continents affect diversity as opposed to a single large continent?
A smaller continent would be less diverse than a larger continent. For example, take Europe and Asia. Europe is the second smallest continent and throughout the continent there are tons of languages, yes, but the culture is pretty much the same throughout the nation; it's really just a little twist here and there. In Asia, there are at least four major cultures of which some are related in a way although they mostly are contrasting. They are the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, and East Asia. The Middle East and Central Asia are somewhat closely related, however, are both different major cultures.
Which continent is on the same land mass as Europe?
Asia shares the European land mass with Asia beginnning east of the Ural Mountains in Russia.
