Id be interested to see if the thought process is the same with some of the more data driven posters. I have my opinion below based on size, diversity, and concentration. Within tiers, Im listing them in order as well (based on my opinion). These are done by CSA but MSA where no CSA exists. It doesn't include Honolulu because I'm not 100% where it would fall. I have done all over 200k. If you guys have suggestions for those under 200k, Im all ears!:

It would be interesting to know where the cut off point is and which countries are being consider as either Asian or Arab. Like does it stop at Iran/Pakistan etc.

The US Census define white as anyone with predominant ancestry from Europe, Southwest Asia(mostly middle east), and even North Africa. Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladesh, and Sri Lankans are considered Asians, although most of them have a phenotype closer to that of Middle Easterners.

I believe the census counts Pakistani as Asian, but not Iranians. Also interesting is that none of the former Soviet 'stans in Central Asia are considered Asian.
