That topic sounds rather broad, it would be better to talk about a specific country as you have a better idea of what you're focusing on.
Also, just saying "im doing my pip on asian countries in general" really isn't much to go on. You should do some more research to refine your topic. For example, something slightly more refined might be "various stereotypes of asians in australia" but that topic in itself is not very well defined.
If you have any more questions, please drop them here, im more than happy to provide answers!

It all depends: which Asian countries do you wish to do your PIP on specifically and which perspectives will you talk about? Asia is such a BROAD continent filled with different cultures, it will be so hard writing about all of the different countries in general.
You can possibly do one specific country for each chapter, totaling in 3-4 specific Asian countries. Since you will be talking about perspectives of Asians in Australia, it’s probably best to talk about Chinese and Vietnamese people. I did a very similar topic to you during my HSC (casual racism towards Asians in Australia) and talked mostly about Chinese and Vietnamese people (in terms of the Australian Gold Rush and the Vietnam War respectively). It’s probably a good option to include Muslim people from Asian countries as well. People seem to forget that Central Asia actually exists! Just a suggestion though ;). This would be great for the cross cultural comparison ;).
Good luck!

thanks for the advice. so can i pinpoint east asia? i want to talk about the implementation of tiger parenting from migrants from east asian countries (vietnam, china, japan and korea?) as their principles and values are similar as well as the effect of acculturation on tiger parenting in australia. so can my topic just be "Acculturation of eastern asian migrant parenting in australia"? to be honest, im not really sure if im heading in the right direction.

Yep you can definitely do East Asian countries. You can also do that topic if you want! There’s a similar PIP at the State Library of NSW if you want to check it out. My questions for you are, what is your aim, hypothesis and your topics for each chapter. That’s the foolproof method to know if you’re going in the right direction :)

I've seen the pip that beatroot has mentioned. It would be very good to check out to have a look at someone else's ideas as a springboard for your own.
I really do recconmend working out the aim, hypothesis and chapter topics before anything else as beatroot said (she's pretty good with her advice isnt she? 😂 ;) )
After you've got an idea, post them and then we can give you some feedback regarding them!
