That 70% figure for Indians is likely due to resume fraud.  The east and southeast Asian countries listed have much better educational systems than India.

I wouldn't call it fraud, but India does have different standards for a college degree. I've seen cases where their college degree was more like a vocational or trade school degree. The US would at best consider them to be associates degrees. It's complicated by the fact that many Indian degrees are from institutions equivalent to a college engineering degree. Without inspecting the actual transcript and knowing the texts used, it's nearly impossible for an American to tell.

Asian is an even less meaningful label than Hispanic. What exactly do Persians and Japanese immigrants have in common?

A lot of Persians/Iranian immigrants do not list themselves as Asian. They consider themselves Caucasian and hence white. But I do agree that Indians and Japanese do not necessarily share the same interests.
