Hmm, maybe Christians from Goa? Japanese Buddhists? Perhaps a gang of Taiwanese atheists? Oh, I know, it must have been enraged Confucians from Shanghai... no, no, probably rabid Hong Kong capitalists.
It couldn't be Muslims from Pakistan or the Middle East. What would be the odds?

Queen's English alert. Several people have explained that in Britain they call Middle Eastern people "Asian" and Far Eastern people "Oriental."
