 A 2009 book about forensic anthropology said that the ""leading handbook in human osteology"" has kept on using the ""traditional terms""' of ""caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid"", but ""one of the most popular recent forensic anthropology textbooks"" has changed to the ""more current, politically correct terminology of Asian, white, black, Native American"".Clyde H. Ishii (2014), in an academic journal about plastic surgery, said, ""Although many countries use the term 'Asian' referring to people living on that continent, in reality, Asian usually refers to peoples of East, Southeast, and South Asia.Inhabitants of Southwest Asia, such as Arabs and Iranians, are more commonly designated Middle Easterners.3 The term Asian as used in this article refers to people from Asia who have a Mongoloid background (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Indonesians, and others).""
