>>18496321Which continent is Pakistan on my good friend?
>>18496351Americans are just baffled that Brits are too PC to directly reference race or nationality.In America: Asian = East Asian (ethnicity)In Britain: Asian = a dark shadowy figure from nowhere in particular on a giant continentIt's like American media saying "youths" when they mean blacks.Brits can't say brown.Brits can't say Pakis.Brits can't say Indians.Brits can't say Muslims.Reduced to ambiguity out of fear.
>>18496424Every single British person knows that Asians means Pakistani though?
>>18496424>Brits are too PC to directly reference race or nationality.They've been using Asian for a long time and it has nothing to do with what Americans consider "PC". It can also be hard to tell Pakistanis, Bangladeshi and Indians apart without enough information so the media simply defaults to Asian. East Asians do not hold a global monopoly on the term "Asian" just because Americans use it more often.
>>18496351asian does not equal pakistani, hence the question.
>>18496428so what means bangladeshi, then?

>>18496424Brits have been using the term Asian to mean subcontinental paki indian types for years. They still use oriental to mean chinese or japanese.>out of fearYou have guns yet you do notihng with them while blacks riot in your streets while chav youth beat up pakis, you are a nation of cowards.
