the problem with central city and other parts of new Orleans is that there are so many god damn Asians

In England, that typically means India or Pakistan. The attacker was Pakistani. That's just a linguistic difference between the U.S. and Britain. Here, Asian connotates East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc). There, it's the Subcontinent.
Thanks....a lot of these baws don't get out much.

So when you guys think a man of asian appearance, do you think khalid masood or Jet Li? Im just curious?
You are exposing your own ignorance. In England, Asian has a connotation of Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern. No one in England what think of Jet Li by default if told to picture an Asian.
Hopefully you'll use this embarrassing mistake on your part as a learning opportunity. Next time you see or read something that makes you angry, take a moment and consider if that anger may be born of your own lack of information and narrow world view before you lash out impotently. Cheers!

it is but thats not the point, I've never heard a muslim man referenced to as asian even though many muslims are in indonesia and the pacific rim. Why would the media try so hard to not say middle eastern?
Asian is the term used in Britain
So British papers will say Asian
Now you know.

the common usage in the UK. Indians, Pakistanis, and Middle Easterners are referred to as Asian. Chinese, etc. are called East Asian

In the UK, Asian is used to describe people from South Asia.

Because Pakistan isn't in the ME. It's in South Asia.
Posted on 3/23/17 at 1:06 pm to dabigfella
I can't recall ever seeing an Asian with facial hair, much less a beard
Posted on 3/23/17 at 1:07 pm to dabigfella
He looks more of African descent than Asian.

Dude don't even bother with some of these posters
They just don't know any better.

so was it the brother i posted a picture of or was it actually an Asian (which again just means "the attacker was not African in appearance")
Posted on 3/23/17 at 1:11 pm to DelU249
Some pakis look like a black Muslim you see roaming the streets of Philadelphia

Kashmir has the darkest shade of red, but they aren't black.
you may be black, but i spent a thanksgiving in central city son.
but seriously, the guy i posted a picture of was fricking black. i just googled it and it's a different guy now. i didn't stick around to find out what race (or in this case continent) to blame.
Asian in appearance... fricking stupidest thing I've ever heard. literally the one continent where that description is useless in the technical sense.
