The British media said he “was Asian in appearance”. So i was anticipating a name like “Ho Lee Fuk”, or “Wi Tu Lo”.

Well, I just saw a shot of him lylng on a gurney near where he was shot and he sure as hell looked like a Muzzie to me. Besides, Ho Lee Fuk and Wi Tu Lo were a couple of Korean pilots who forgot how to fly their plane landing here in San Francisco a couple of years ago. They even had their names posted on Fox Channel Two here. Their compatriots were Sum Ting Wong and Bang Ding Owe.

In the UK “Asian” is the code word for Middle Eastern.

Brits call people from the subcontinent "Asians," i.e., Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans.

I'm not sure what they call real Asians - maybe Orientals.

Give them slack, these are the same people that call french fries "chips," and potato chips "crisps."

You probably already know this...

The Brits use the term "Asian" to mean Pakistani.

Of course, it could be a white Pakistani, a black Pakistani, an Arab Pakistani, etc. Somehow, they never look "Oriental".

I guess the Brits think that Pakistani is a race; and it needs a code word, since it would be racist to actually say "Pakistani".
