It’s a very American thing. In the UK, I hear that Asians refers to mostly south Asians. In the US, south/Middle-eastern/west Asians are usually excluded from the popular perception of Asians.

Are there resources that teach how to counter rhetorical arguments that are just designed as a tool for one-up-manship while purposefully distracting from the essence of the discussion at hand? I have seen some “I am very smart” types doing this with less eloquent and articulate participants, and would like to learn more about how to deconstruct such arguments.
