Middle East is inherently a colonial term as it describes the area in respect to London, where places like India are in the Far East colonies, so these colonies are Middle Eastern.

Fully two separate continents, Northeastern Africa and Western Asia. But as far as names and identities go, Middle Eastern has stuck.
