As india the country is in the continent of asia

2019-04-15 21:05:34 UTC  

So, according to you, the UK government considers Indians to be...asians?

2019-04-15 21:05:39 UTC  

Yes

2019-04-15 21:05:44 UTC  

Can you source that?

2019-04-15 21:05:46 UTC  

Asians is used differently in the UK and the US

2019-04-15 21:05:56 UTC  

My source is myself and any other British person you ever talk to

2019-04-15 21:06:01 UTC  
2019-04-15 21:06:11 UTC  

So...you don't have a source

2019-04-15 21:06:15 UTC  

Aside from "I say so"

2019-04-15 21:06:16 UTC  

Generally in the UK we use the word asian to mean people from Asia

2019-04-15 21:06:24 UTC  

Mate this is my Langauge

2019-04-15 21:06:34 UTC  

And the way the word is used in the country that I have lived in all my life

2019-04-15 21:06:45 UTC  

Ok, so then finding a source to back you up should be easy, right?

2019-04-15 21:06:45 UTC  

I can probably find something online to back me up if I look now

2019-04-15 21:06:50 UTC  

Go for it

2019-04-15 21:06:56 UTC  

sure

2019-04-15 21:07:44 UTC  
2019-04-15 21:08:23 UTC  

I admit I was wrong then. Here in the states Asian does have an entirely different meaning

2019-04-15 21:08:30 UTC  

I know it does

2019-04-15 21:08:35 UTC  

And that's what I was trying to tell you

2019-04-15 21:08:46 UTC  

I just assumed you were using the british meaning since we were talking about britain

2019-04-15 21:08:50 UTC  

But back to the main discussion

2019-04-15 21:08:59 UTC  

Indians and Pakistani's are not black

2019-04-15 21:09:05 UTC  

they are brown skinned south Asians

2019-04-15 21:09:30 UTC  

Tag!

2019-04-15 21:09:35 UTC  

Someone tagged me

2019-04-15 21:09:59 UTC  

Was tagging you so you could back me up that the word asian in UK is used to mean pakistanis and indians as well as oriental people but we've established that now

2019-04-15 21:10:11 UTC  

Yeah

2019-04-15 21:10:29 UTC  

This guy's trying to say that indians and pakistanis are black

2019-04-15 21:10:31 UTC  

The UK definition of Asian includes the Subcontinent

2019-04-15 21:10:34 UTC  

The fuck?

Ah kk

2019-04-15 21:11:04 UTC  

What about the black thing though

2019-04-15 21:11:11 UTC  

Do you admit you were wrong about that too?

2019-04-15 21:11:31 UTC  

Bangolis and Pakistanis use the term Asians because they hate being called Indians

2019-04-15 21:11:37 UTC  

Imagine calling the Scots English

2019-04-15 21:11:41 UTC  

That's basically it
