Most Russians can call themselves "Asian" even if they're blond hair/blue eyes.

I prefer that they use neither of those terms, but decribe by the country of origin. I know... it's difficult sometimes, but I don't like being generalized as Asian.
But if you must, use Asian. Oriental is definitely for objects.
