drunkle said: indians and pakistanis aren’t really asian. siberians are more asian than indian or pakistanis, at least, in the mongoloid respect. imo.
Depends on where you come from Drunkle.
“Asian”, in the UK, is someone exclusively from the Indian Subcontinent – ie Sri Lankan, Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and sometimes also Nepali and/or Bhutani.
People from parts of the world that Americans call “Asia” are normally called by thier country of ancestry/origin – ie Laotian, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc..
When India became independant, the UK saw a huge amount of immigrants from that part of the world – and not so many from what the US considers ‘Asia’. London does have the largest Vietnamese population in Europe, but immigrants from (US) ‘Asia’ are very few in comparison to the ones from the Indian Subcontinent.
