Yes, they're from that continent but you just can't call them "Asian". It just seems unorthodox. People use that word in a racial manner for oriental/east Asian people (and it rightfully belongs to them).
So that scruffy, olive skinned guy from Italy is "European" and a guy with the same features in Lebanon is "Asian"? It doesn't work since they both look of the same race...
For people of the Near East and Southern Europe I'd use the term Mediterranean. So, Ashkenazi Jews are half Mediterranean and Eastern European.
My grandpa is a Russian Jew, but is pretty tan and has dark hair and dark (hazel, if you count that) eyes. My grandma is not Jewish, but Russian; blonde, pale, and blue-eyes. My dad has the dark hair and eyes, but is paler. I'm Jewish too, but because my mom's Black, I probably look more like a Mizrahi Jew than anything. I've got curly light brown hair, brown eyes and I'm tan.

Not everywhere uses the term "Asian" to refer to peoples from Central Asia or the Far East...first of all, here we also consider South Asians to be "Asian", and they certainly don't "look Oriental" for the most part...secondly, in the UK, when people use the term Asian, they generally are referring to South Asian people (Indians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, etc), while East/Central Asians are just called "Oriental" or referred to as their nationality (Chinese, Korean, etc). There are some countries--I believe Iceland, or Germany, or something--where "Asian" just refers to anyone who is a descendent from people of that continent, be they Iranian, Armenian, Arab, Mizrahi Jew, Sri Lankan, or Japanese. That is how WE should use the term too.
And, Italians and Lebanese often look different anyways. While they usually have the same skin tone (a light tan), their facial features are a bit different. Italians are more likely to have light hair and light eyes than Lebanese people. Lebanese people are likely to have curlier hair, bigger noses, and bigger-but-oval-shapes eyes.
The small penis of most Ashkenazim Jews is a reminder of their Asiatic mixture. Sephardi Jews have the larger penis due to an absence of Asiatic roots. The different sizes of both groups are held true by any observer. Chinese are notorious for small penises and Africans have the larger size. Prostitutes hold these statements to be a fact.

...What??? I can assure you that not all these stereotypes are true in all cases.
