After so many years of being hammered with hyphenated "Other-Americans" it is really weird to see an article written about "Britons" in which the only clue to their otherness is a list of very un-British names.

I'm fully aware that even the name is not indigenous to the islands and that the populace prior to very recent times was almost totally "other-european" but somehow 'Shafiq Rasul, Asif Iqbal, Ruhal Ahmed, Feroz Abbasi, and Jamal Udeen' fail to make the transition that centuries of German, Spanish, French, Nordic, Indian and even African peoples did.

Wonder if there is a message somewhere in that?
