“American grandmothers from Omaha”

It must be that one.

I’m always curious when they use the term “Asians” to describe Middle Eastern types and why they do this in the UK.

We are not talking about Mr. Yang types who run Chinese retaurants in a strip mall.

"Asians" in the UK refers to people from the Mideast and the Indian subcontinent.

What we in the U.S. call "Asians" are called "Orientals."
