To sign 'Asian', start with your dominant hand in an 'A' handshape held up in front of you. Move the hand in a small, smooth circular motion. After completing the circle, bring your hand downward while opening your fingers into a flat '5' handshape with your palm facing down.
Point to yourself, sign 'Asian' using the circular 'A' to downward '5' motion, then sign 'history' and 'study'.
Point to the person you are talking about, sign 'love', then sign 'Asian' followed by 'food'.
Point to the person, sign 'Asian', and make sure to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly to indicate a yes/no question.

Yes, the sign shown is used for both 'Asia' and 'Asian.' The context of your sentence will usually clarify whether you are referring to the continent itself or a person, culture, or item from there.
While you can add the 'person' marker (two flat hands moving down) to explicitly specify an Asian person, it is often omitted in everyday conversation. The base sign is usually sufficient.
You should use your dominant hand to perform the sign. If you are right-handed, use your right hand; if you are left-handed, use your left hand.
