Huh. I thought Lee Ho Fook was an “Asian” name; Muaz Tarafdar, not so much.
I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman who came over to the United States as manager of the British Equestrian Team. SAS during WWII, he was certainly no panty-waist.

There are 5 continents and Asia is largest by large margin. Western Asia (eg Saudi Arabia) and Central Asia (eg Kazakhstan) is part of the Asian continent but people look much different than the Asians of Southeast Asia (eg Vietnam)This message has been edited. Last edited by: tatortodd,

The Brits don't use the term "Middle Easterner" like we do to describe people from that region, they say "South Asian" or "Asian". Confusing.

+1 ... on top of the Muslim invasion they are allowing which is causing crime to rise and making defending oneself all the more important.
They (the gov't) are bringing in an invasion force of people who are sworn and actively pursuing a course of search & destroy. AND, they're disarming their own people at the same time! I swear - anybody should be able to see how wrong that is. And, our politicians want to do the same thing. Only Trump stands against this insane, self-destructive plan. I find it mind-boggling.
I found what you said riveting.

Here in UK, Asian means Indian sub-continent, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Burma, Thailand, Viet-nam and Laos.
FAR-Eastern is everybody else.

Cheers for the tacklers.
We don't understand why the government of Great Britain is hell-bent on disarming its citizens and prohibiting fighting back. And why some citizens go along with it, which we can only presume they do, since GB is a democracy.

Not London. Good on the citizens for helping the local cops.

+1.
Tac, I love England and the English people. I just see the country (from my limited perspective, of course) trending downward, with good people hampered by stupid laws that embolden criminals. Isn't it true that a citizen who uses force to protect their life can face criminal penalties?
I don't gloat over your plight; I weep for your country. You have fallen so far, and I truly want to see you achieve the greatness that you are capable of.

I saw this elsewhere. The Brits are a proud capable people, who elect governments that choose to represent the immigrants and neglect the native population.
Time to spit on your hands and start slitting throats again Britain, figuratively, legislatively, and literally.
In the not too distant past, the world trembled at your name. I would like those days to return.
