Khalid Mahmood, the lawmaker who represents the area in the Houses of Parliament, denied that the unrest amounted to a race riot.

That's what the British get for placing diversity and PC at the front of their social agenda.

Yes, it does. Earlier reports conveniently dropped the identification of who raped whom. Apparently, the British press doesn't want to offend our Muzzie brethren by letting the world know they did a Bad Thing. Heck, if it was done by that protected class, Muslims, it's just a harmless prank, isn't it?

The British generally call Arabs Asians.

Asians:

Arabs, Turks, Iranians, and Kurdswho are more usually designated Middle or Near Easterners. Indonesians and Filipinos are properly termed Asian, since their island groups are considered part of the Asian continent, but not the Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians of the central and southern Pacific, who are now often referred to collectively as Pacific Islanders.

South Asian usually means Pakistani or Indian. Chinese and Thais, for example, are Orientals.
