People living in, or having ancestors from, the continent of Asia or some part of Asia. In the United States, "Asians" are people with ancestors from south Asia, east Asia, and southeast Asia -- that is, anywhere in the triangle between Pakistan, Japan, and Indonesia.
In the United Kingdom, south Asians, but not east or southeast Asians, are considered "Asians". This generally means people with ancestors from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and nearby areas.

Q: Why are there so few Asians in Fresno?
A: Fresno has plenty of Asians, especially southeast and south Asians; you need to abandon your 1980s conception of "Asians" as meaning only east Asians.

When a person notices their bus and/or train departing a block or two away, and they feel they can't make it. Then said person runs for it, and makes it, thus Asianing it.
Term derived from the fact that any Asian, no matter the age, is able to make their bus or train no matter what.

"Dude, that little old lady just ran right through that intersection and made that bus..."
"Now THAT is what I call Asianing it."
