Asian = British speak for a Muslim
>> Asian = British speak for a Muslim <<
Exactly why my Vietnamese wife insists that she’s an Oriental not an Asian.
If I ever referred to her as Asian, she’d smack me upside the head.
Asian is politically correct BritSpeak for Pakistani (muslim), especially in the context of crime. They do it to conflate Pakistanis with Indians (Hindus) so the reader doesnt know for sure that the perp in question is muslim.
