That's correct if you define "Asia" as incl. the Middle East.
If you think of Asia as the pacific coastal countries, then the statement isn't correct.
I say you, Kagehitokiri, are correct.
Also I do not consider Mexico/TIJ South America... Central Amer, perhaps, but even then geographers consider Panama and points north as "North America." Central/Latin Amer is more to distinguish the US/Can (or the English speaking countries) vs. the Spanish speaking ones with Belize being the huge exception there.
