"More Asians Than People in Asia"? No—Asia Has 4.46 Billion People; Asians Are a Subset

The statement confuses categories. Asia is a continent with over 4.46 billion people (all nationalities/ethnicities within its borders). Asians are a racial/ethnic group numbering ~1.8 billion globally—many live in Asia, but many also live elsewhere. Asia also contains non-Asian groups (e.g., Russians in Siberia, Arabs in West Asia, Europeans in parts of Russia). So: more people live in Asia than the total global population of Asians. The continent's population includes Asians and many others.
