Why do we group East Asia with South Asia? We don't group the Middle east with Europe

The Middle East is being called West Asia these day.

South Asia is another new invention.

No one goes around saying "I'm a South Asian."

As for terminology, especially when it comes to geography and geopolitics, it depends on who's using the term and what their agenda of the day is.

Gulf of Mexico comes to mind.

"south asia" is the area thats in-between the gulf cooperation council and asean?

theres no south east asian or east asian person either...

Actually many US companies tend group them ridiculously as EMEA
