We need to get (our allies?) the Japanese, the Koreans and yes, even the Chinese to protest the use of the word ‘Asian’ to describe these muslim terrorists.

The rest of the world refers to the japanese, koreans and chinese as "orientals". That term became offensive for some reason here in the states.

If an American news organization like Fox identifies someone as asian, it usually means Asian Pacific, NOT middle eastern. When BBC reports asian it’s usually Pakistani.
