I feel uncomfortable using the word 'asian' because it has different meaning to US and UK people. In America, it means people from China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, etc. whereas in the UK asian means Indian or Pakistani. Of course, all are asian, but (like 'vegetarian') people don't go by the dictionary term. Likewise, the word 'anti-Semitic' now means anti-jewish, when Semitic people are also the arabs. So I don't like that word either. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
