Yes I know, Zenyatta is an omnic and doesn’t really have any continental ethnicity, but since his “home base” is Nepal and he is based on monks origin in asia could his he probably be able to count as asian?
Depends on where he was “born”. I definitely consider Orisa to be Numbanian, for example. The Shamballi monks Zenyatta used to belong to were omnics who"abandonned their pre-programmed lives to establish a communal monastery deep in the Himalayas."
Notice how the hotel stewards in Oasis, or the waiters in Rialto, are the same model as Zenyatta. While he did live in Nepal, we don’t know if he his native to the area.
On Zenyatta’s back is a logo saying “made in Taiwan”

I guess as omnic he is good at math so the probability of him being asian is rather high.
Thats like saying Orisa is african and Bastion is… homeless?

I love how you used term “technically” for an omnic
bastions were partially designed by Torbjorn. So it’s Bastion Torbjornson and sweden.
Well, if he’s lived all his life in Asia wouldn’t that make him Asian? You know, culturally at least.
Bastion is technically German 
I dunno man…
Even if he was made with Chinese parts, in a factory in China, is he Chinese?
I think relating to your place of origin is a very human thing.
I imagine all Omnics see themselves as one race.
Not a flying toy.

Zenyatta is an Omnic, Omniums exist in Australia, Russia, the US, and Nigeria so I’m going to assume he has to be from one of them.
What an interesting question
Some vines never get old!
Bastion is totally from IKEA, I mean do you see how many parts he is made from ?
Source : I’m Swedish.
Now we need an animated short of Zenyatta working as a waiter before his enlightenment.

I think it depends on whether you’re talking ethnicity or nationality. Omnics don’t have ethnicity, but yeah they might just consider themselves members of the Omnic race.
Nationality-wise it probably depends on where they were made or lived or where they came into consciousness or however it works for omnics. So, nationality-wise he might be asian.

For the record, Torb designed Bastion - so he probably IS Swedish.
