I have this feeling that -ese people nouns such as Japanese and Vietnamese could be more accepted as meaning a larger number of people:
(1) They met many Japanese.
(2) They met millions of Japanese.
However, I feel if you quantify them with a clear, large number, they are not well-accepted. Am I correct?
(3) They met 3,490,113 Japanese.
