From Western Asia, you chaps and I (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yemeni

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from western asia' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'you chaps and i' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'ye' (historical version of 'you').
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'ye'+'men'+'i'='YEMENI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yemeni that I've seen before include "Person from Sana'a, say" , "Person from Aden perhaps" , "Native of, eg, Aden" , "Arab national" , "from an Arab country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
