BBC 2: Lost Boys Whats Going Wrong For Asian Men?

I chuckled already when I saw "BBC" and "Asian Men" in the title.

Maybe it's specific to Russian language but your post is sounds kinda crazy to me. Like saying - this guy is not European he is Swiss/Scottish/Slovakian.
But maybe it's because part of Russia is in Asia, so saying that Indian/Pakistani is not Asian sounds kinda crazy. Like, is Pakistan a part of Africa or North America?
But also I was kinda surprised when I've seen here that during discussion of some mma/boxing/kickboxing event people didn't call some fighter from something-stan Asian.

It´s about looks. As I asked the brits and got my answer already of them calling them Asians. But in Sweden, if have a Pakistani in the discussion it is not Asian that we think of, but instead someone from mideast. I am much aware of the geographical correctness label them as Asian, but we see it differently here in Sweden than how they do in England.

And the mention about Russia. If I see a russian that have asian looks(the eyes) I will automatically think of them as East russian.

And ofcourse it is difficult to know if you are from Norway or Sweden, but if you open your mouth I can tell quickly where you are from. Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark has each their special touch when speaking englsih. As same as Germans, French and the pepople from Holland. I have more difficult time to precise when they speak english from countries such as Eastern europe. I will label them all as same with the touch of Russki to it.

You know what. A poster mentioned it some posts before, but you made me understand it now. Thanks for the hint with Amin.

If you ask me, they should ban beard. Including playoff beards in NHL.

Asians should take Oriental back. Let the other Asians have the moniker Asians. Nomsayin?

Asian, asian and asian. They call themself asian all the time in the docu. Do you native brits also call people from Pakistan asians?

It just don´t sound right in my ears. If I see one that is pakistani looking walking on the street, the first thought on mine would not be Asian. I would more likely think of him as an Indian coming from the northwest part of India.

I've never thought of Asian as an appropriate term either, but it's been that way as long as I can remember, and on all the ethnicity sections of documents I interact with Asian/British Asian has always been used to describe everything from Middle Easterners to Chinese/Japanese etc., (I've rarely seen 'Arab' used, 'Other ethnicity' seems to be designated for anyone who doesn't consider themselves 'Asian')

Seems strange to use such a catch all term for "Asians" when we very specifically have categories for White British/White Irish/White European etc.,

we really need to get on the same page regarding the definition of Asian

US Census Bureau has Middle Easterners, N. Africans and SW and Central Asians as 'white', Austronesians and Indian and Pakistani as 'Asian', yet also counts separately the Native Groups of the US, and Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders

but in general, the word 'Asian' appears to have replaced 'oriental' when referring to appearance in the US. Which is why here we don't tend to think Asian when we see a Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Sri Lankan person

I also seen here stuff like: guys see Asian looking Russian fighter, they think that he has some Tatar origin and every time they were wrong (I think guys were half-Korean, 1/4 Chinese and stuff like that).

Oh, maybe that definition of Central Asians as white (after the terror attack by guy from Uzbekistan in Sweden or US) confused me here, after someone posted an article or photo or something.

He was born in Russia and Korean and Russian by origin (if you believe Russian wikipedia, English wiki also says that he has some Mongol ancestors).

Yeah, and also GGG has some touch of asian. And about the truck driver who did the terroist attack in Sweden. When I first saw the photo I knew he was from some country-stan.

I was not thinking of immigration as a whole, more to the gargantus areas you have just containing one singular homogeneous people, and in this case Pakistani. They also called it mini-Pakistan. While we in Sweden have areas largley housing people from other countries, but it is a mixed soup, blending people from all parts of Africa, mideast and India and Pakistan.

It is also interesting you mention Pakistani muslims as the ones that lags behind. They are also showing people from Gujarat and they tend to blend in much better and as they themself, being modern and moving to a first world country, you need to adapt to get along.

And to see the myriads of young Pakistani males hanging around on the super market parking spot and making noice with their cars. You don´t see that in Sweden. It just all seems so, Neanderthal.

1. Move to Sweden
2. Start hoodie company
3. ???
4. Profit

it should
i've been to Kyrgyzstan twice, and those people largely a mixture of white/asian Turkic and most people i would assume would call them 'Asian'

Just like there are actually white people in N. Africa, but i've also been to Tunisia. They're not all white hahah, not even close. I mean Egypt? Morocco?
FYI this was the second president of Kyrgyzstan, and he's of Kyrgyz ethnicity.

I mean, Tzyu is a bad example of Central Asian that can be described as White - he is not from Central Asia and his ancestors is not natives of Central Asia. GGG Asian part is Korean, not Kazakh or someone like that.
But if i'm not mistaken, during the Soviet time there were a lot of Germans in Kazakhstan (and I think I've seen that Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Polish are among the minoritties or biggest minorities there) and Jews in Uzbekistan - so maybe it was obvious to label all this Germans, Jews and Polish people who were migrating to Europe and US as White.

70% of British Pakistani couples are cousins. Congenital defects and lower IQ is the result.

That 70% is in Bradford England.
Nationally for all the U.K. it's 55%.

Which is still pretty fucking disgusting.
