I am removing the "single source" warning flag. The United States Census Bureau should be considered as reliable a source as there is for the content of this page. -- Thnidu ( talk) 17:10, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
Afghanistan is geographically located mostly in South Asia, while a tiny bit in Central Asia. I wouldn’t consider Afghanistan a Central Asian country just like I wouldn’t consider Egypt a West Asian country or Turkey being a European country. Phenotypically, Afghans look South Asian (they do not look like their Central Asian counterparts, and plus majority of Afghanistan is in South Asia as is the population). And phenotypically Bhutanese people look more East/Southeast Asian than any other South Asian country. There’s so much hypocrisy here but it’s probably based on Islamophobia, the West’s criticism of the Middle East when Afghanistan is South Asian not West Asian, and inaccurate opinions. Geography is more important than geopoliticism guys!! Gatorbearratica ( talk) 05:11, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

This article is about people who are from the Indian subcontinent; Afghans are not from the subcontinent nor are Afghans considered a South Asian ethnicity legally or generally defined in academia. Please refrain from disruptive edits, and discuss here if you disagree to find a consensus. The latest edits clearly cite how Afghans are legally considered White in the US. 69.109.242.61 ( talk) 11:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
