Indeed. We refer to 'Asian' as in, from India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh. For the Far East we use the term 'Oriental'.

I've heard apple a lot partly because I live 45 minutes away from a Reservation and my education has done a lot of stuff look at Native American issues

Banana is referred to the Chinese, as in 'yellow outside and white inside'.
