I see. So Asians are Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis and people from Sri Lanka? What about Afghans?

[ThatchersKiddie]

That’s right. Afghans would be Asians, too.

(Though a police report - for example - might say a middle easterner was ‘of Asian or middle eastern appearance’, as it’s difficult to tell somebody’s nationality by sight alone.)

Don’t worry, it even confuses us Brits sometimes!
