You know Asia is an awfully big continent and when people in this country say "Asian" what they actually mean is "Pakistani muslim" but are afraid to say that for fear of being unPC. In the USA if you say "Asian" it means Chinese or Japanese yet here we are allowed to describe Chinese people as Chinese. Why can we not describe Pakistani people as Pakistani?
