Easterners
People from Asia
Easterners are people from the eastern part of a region or country.
In American usage, Easterners typically means people from the East Coast or northeastern states: Easterners moving west brought their customs with them.
The term often carries connotations of urbanity, sophistication, or establishment attitudes, sometimes used dismissively by those in other regions.
