Why do British people refer Arab Muslims, Indians and Pakistanis as “Asian”

Because we’re from America. :slight_smile:

I propose to call you “Terrestrials” from now on.

What level of disaggregation would agree with your sensibilities?

1 label for each 100 million people, versus 1 label for each 3 billion?

Why not 1 for each 10 while we are at it?

Or even 1 for 1?

That is the nub of it. I suppose the idea touched a nerve: how can they lump me / us / them with them / us.

See, thats the problem. These labels we bandy around are not so innocent, they carry baggage with them…heavy baggage.
