No, I'd actually say this issue isn't. They can't even make the thing generate what they want even with specific instructions. It's not some fretting that the frequencies don't match modern liberal political sensibilities about "representation," or a hamfisted attempt to over-correct and satisfy those sensibilities.
The Verge should do better than looking to score points in culture war idiocy. This is a non-story.
In the US, no one refers to people from India as Asian. To consider this some form of egregious discrimination is completely unhinged. In the UK, Asian does refer to Indian and Pakistani people, so it would make sense for a model trained on UK English to generate people from those countries when asked for Asian people.

I don’t know anything specific about Meta’s AI, but this could easily turn out to be a case of a hamfisted attempt to over-correct by weighing the Asian part of the prompt so heavily it manages to cancel out the Caucasian part.
