Ethnic group partially defined by a set of many different cultural traditions, and partially defined by a genetic heritage with roots in the Asian subcontinent. Like all ethnic groups, this is an extremely fuzzy set. Definite candidates would be people of Korean or Chinese extraction. Less obvious but no less justifiable would be the members of Ugric tribes in Siberia. Questions may arise in cases where the ethnicity is undoubtedly of other-than-oriental descent but the residency has been long standing: eg, the Ainu people of northern Japan.
