Okay this is gonna sound dumb but I'm bad at history. Is the reason there are so many German Asians because of the Axis during WWII?

Edit: Ah, it's because of the Vietnam war. This is mildly embarrassing but it's better than staying ignorant.

There are?

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.
