This article was created as a spin-off article from the Ancient Egyptian race controversy article. Wdford (talk) 17:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Actual use of the term "Asiatic race":

18th century, "descended from one of the peoples of Asia Minor"[1]
1820s: "any Asian people" *especially Far East, Siberia etc.?) [2] (viz. before the systematic use of 'race', when the word still was equivalent to 'descent', 'tribe', etc.)
scientific racism, a large racial division contrasting with the European (Caucasian) and the African (Black) races, 1840s/1830s, presumably more or less equivalent ot the Mongoloid race of Blumenbach
