Fung would be the first Asian-American Governor west of Washington, right? And only the second in the contiguous 48.

Well, Jindal and Haley. Unless you don't count us as Asian-Americans, which the census does.
East Asians?

(Also: totally had no idea Haley was Indian-American).

The government's definition of "Asian" encompasses East and South Asia, so they're technically both Asian. However, in American culture, they certainly constitute two very distinct racial identities.

There’s also the fact that South Asia is literally part of Asia.
And so is West Asia/Middle East, but they're counted as white on the Census
