They keep referring to them as Asians instead of muslim terrorists. It is an offense to the rest of the Asian world to lump them into that group.

They’ve doing that for centuries - everyone over there knows exactly what is meant. The key thing is that they do identify the people, rather than making it sound like some home-grown locals, as other countries do.

Yeah being of South Asian decent myself that's my only beef with the article, label it for what it was MUSLIM gangs.
last I checked didn't matter where they came from they seem to have the same MO when they were followers of the death cult.
They were probably asking themselves.... what would Muhammed do... rape little girls of course...

No, Britain uses a different term for Asian people than we do. Our “Asian” is their “Oriental”. Our “Middle Eastern” is their “Asian”. It is not like they are trying to hide under the term. When British people see the term “Asian”, they clearly know this means people from the Middle East. When they see the term “Oriental”, they know this means people from Japan, China, Korea, & etc. Their words are just different from ours. It is not like they are lumping Middle Easterners in with people from east Asia. They just use different terms for the two groups of people than we do.

It's the Brits' way of achieving PC satori in real time. They'd earlier simply referred to everybody else as "wogs".
To them this term ALWAYS means South Asians ~ Hindus, Sikhs, Moslems, East Africans and so on.
The American usage is different.
