Considering how all Indoeuropeans and Hamito-Semites derive from populations which settled the Mesopotamia and then moved to the eastern shores of the Black Sea, yes. Greeks, Romans, Germans, Celts, Aryans, etc are all "Asians".

Lmao yeah, dude. I totes agree. /s
Seriously, though, says who? Their ethnic groups are from the Asian continent. What more does it take to be "Asian"? Slanted eyes? I believe that's called East Asian. As the poll provides an option for.)

Nice chink joke, buddy. /s
What it takes is majority, and striking resemblance. Most REAL asians look quite a bit alike. Russians are white, Indians and Arabs (note that arabic people come from a variety of middle eastern nations) are big enough and different enough from everyone else that that is enough to define them.
Easiest way to tell is by asking yourself who all gets confused with who. There aren't a lot of people that can differentiate chinese/japanese/korean/vietnamese/thai/etc., which is why using the general term 'asian' is easy enough that it doesn't offend people that you don't know where someone is coming from.
You could argue (as you have) that asian refers only to people from the asian continent, but you never hear of anyone calling mexicans 'americans' even though they CLEARLY are from the americas, right?

It may be due to the fact that us Native Americans have a tendency to identify strongly with our native background, regardless of whether or not our parents or grandparents would be considered 'white', or 'mixed-race', whereas perceptions of race are very much more westernized in other ethnic groups, leading to more people choosing 'mixed-race'. Though I can't, and won't pretend to speak for other people; this is just a possibility.

Black people in the US are usually mixed-race, but that frequently doesn't stop them from identifying as black.
