Asian is different on account of it being the
adjective of a continent name. Like "European" or
"African". I don't understand the idea behind
capitalising something trivial like skin tone. Or
choosing a tone that practically nó one has to
describe a large group of people. I am an equal
opportunity decapitalist.
