Be aware: In the UK muslims from middle-east descent are called “Asians”.
In US when we think of Asians we think Vietnam, Japan, China, Korea.
Much more common “Asians” in UK = what we call those from Arabic speaking countries.
Not quite. 'Asian' in British colloquial usage normally refers to brown-skinned peoples (of any religion) deriving from the Indian sub-continent. 'Asian' would not normally be used of Arabic etc peoples from the Middle East. They would be described as 'Middle Eastern.'
