    Yes, they are South Asians.
    Yes if you mean Native Americans resemble East Asians more than Indians who are South Asians and do not resemble East Asians.
    You also have West Asians who do not resemble neither East nor South Asians.

    Who thinks Indians are not Asian?

    Native Americans have a Siberian background, but they they now are seen as kind of their own “thing”.

    I know, I spaced out two separate points. The first part, the question was referring to South Asians.

    So you think west asians, south asians, north asians and east asians are all the same race

    Sure, they are little to no Mongoloid. I thought you meant “Asian” in the broadest sense.

    West Asian, South Asian, North Asian and East Asian are just names based on a certain geographical worldview, which sees everything from the Red Sea to the Pacific as one continent, Asia. I do not share this view (Middle East is actually a different continent based on the geology) and Asia is a strange, in reality ancient, concept.

    But the whole point is that it is not a racial classification.
    Racially speaking Indians (from India) are mixed people of Caucasoid and South Indian races.

    No, but they all come from the continent of Asia so in theory they are all Asians.
