I'm not one for political correctness and all that, but i really do resent being called Asian. Why does the media refer to anyone with brown skin as Asian? There are over 30 countries in Asia. The veil issue, 7/7, bradford riots, birmingham riots, murderer of the glasgow lad, these are muslim issues and nothing to do with Hindu Asians, Christian Asians, Sikh Asians, Buddhist asians etc

I don't think they are doing it to be rude. I think that most of the time because there are so many different ethnic races from Asia, they are not really sure which country a person is from. So Asian is a catch-all phrase.

But then, arent we all Asians in the end? Next, you will not like to be called a Human Being?

For 10 points I'll call you anything you want. Seriously, I hadn't noticed the media doing this but it is ignorant on their parts.

So are you 'Pacific Islander'? I guess India isn't island nation. That is pretty confusing. Media says lot of things.
