Why when Americans say "Asians" they only refer to someone from this region while Brits refer to someone from Asia ?

Because when we say Asians, we mean yellow people. For South Asians, we say Indians, for the Middle-East, we say Middle-Easterners. When Brits say Asians, they refer to yellow people with a flat face and weird eyes too.

Because in different societies the same words have different meanings.

Usually when Americans say Asian they mean Mongoloid and it would include everyone in East and Southeast Asia. Someone from Indonesia, Philipines, Laos, Burma, Thailand, China, Korea, Japan ect would be Asian. When Americans refer to South Asia they call them Indians.

Just like us. We refer to Mongoloid people, Asian equals Mongoloid here. Also 99% have no idea that Tatars are Turkish, they're called Mongols.
