A lot of people with (East) Asian roots in Germany are Vietnamese. West Germany had refugees during the American War in Vietnam and Eastern Germany had people coming over because of the socialist brotherhood thing (cheap workers for unpopular work).

It may just be a coincidence I've experienced and now because I'm thinking about it it's easy to fall inbto confirmation bias.

Only if we actually take all of Asia, then yes, there are a lot of people from West Asia in Germany. But that doesn't has anything to do with WWII and probably not what the user meant.

Yeah, someone else explained that they were refugees from the Vietnam War. That's what I get for making assumptions.
