The British media said he “was Asian in appearance”. So i was anticipating a name like “Ho Lee Fuk”, or “Wi Tu Lo”

Brits call people from the subcontinent "Asians," i.e., Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans.

I'm not sure what they call real Asians - maybe Orientals.

Give them slack, these are the same people that call french fries "chips," and potato chips "crisps."

...in the U.S. we generally wouldn't consider this a "4x4" even if is has "all wheel drive" capability.
