They refer to people from India and Pakistan as Asians because those countries are on the Asian continent. (But they normally refer to them as "South Asians.") That does make them Asians. But I think this article left something out of the description because the earlier articles were more specific. In another article I read on this story, the other passengers described the men as "south Asians," which narrows it down quite a bit -- meaning India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc. -- countries with large Muslim populations.
The term "south Asian" would never be taken broadly to include anyone from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, etc, because they would be referred to as "southeast Asians," nor would it include anyone from Japan, Korea, China, etc, becasue they would be referred to as "East Asian."
Looks like our peaceful muslims figured out they can yell fire in a crowded theater, and then play the Martar card for the MSM when they get caught.
Its almost as good as setting off a real bomb.
It wont be long till someone punches them in the face before the Air marshals can rescue them. If they start that crap on a plane that I'm on, Im going to get in their face, and if they get physical, my right fist is going to crack a skull.
