When a Brit says “Asian” they mean SOUTH ASIAN or NEAR EASTERN. When ANYONE ELSE and especially USians says “Asian” they mean EAST ASIAN. It’s seriously confusing to anyone who isn’t informed of this distinction.
It’s bad even in the British context as it lumps all of them in when it’s mainly the Pakistanis doing the bad stuff

Like many other people I know, I can’t wait for Badenoch to take over the Tories if only to see how often she can use the Left’s platitudes about “women of colour” against them. Wondering also how long it will be before her political opponents somehow conclude that she is a white supremacist.
Yeah man own the libs, she’ll show who the real racists are… No one should want her as leader, she is Nigerian, she grew up there, there is very little about her that could be called British even by the dumbest civnats. She pushed for the ludicrous open borders policies the Tories adopted from around 2020 which is why we have so many of her countrymen arriving here now. She epitomises the worst of the centre-right in this country.

SubscribeAsian men? Are they all from Tokyo? Or Taipei? You mean ‘muslim men’.

I do like Badenoch a lot, but I’m afraid it’s too late for the Tories as far as I’m concerned. I’ve gone over to Reform for good.
I made a similar comment elsewhere – She may not even be considered ‘leader of the opposition’ by the time of the next general election…!
