Can someone explain to me why Brits refer to towelheads, and poos as ''Asians''?

we call them asians because they come from Asia.
I do it A LOT on Jow Forums because it triggers the american brainlets

they're the main group from asia there so they got the asian moniker. they also call east asians, asian afaik

what does blattar mean?

is there absolutely no change to call them south asians or something else? like from american influence?

but an arab and a paki look quite different and we have way more pakis than arabs
bangladeshis look similar to pakis too
as do indians

They're asian and were traditionally came to the UK in greater numbers than east asians, due to the legacy of the empire i guess.

Blatte is just the catch all term for swarthy or otherwise non-european people excluding blacks

I think I've heard South Asians used a couple of times, when referring to places like Malaysia or Vietnam.

Unlike North America and Oceania, Britain’s interacted with Western and Southern Asia far more than the East. Most Euros learn American English so you associate Asia with the Eastern half, this isn’t really the case with British English. You also have to understand Paki was used very extensively as a pejorative term by the Skinheads and Far-Right of the 80s, it’s seen as a bit of a dirty word. That and the fact we really don’t have many East Asians here, Asian seemed like a natural fit.

That's Southeast Asia though.

It's like bougnoule in French

Shorter to say than Australia and New Zealand

Oz

what do you call hispanics/latinos?

Oz doesn't include NZ though.

Dunno, have never met a latino person.
There are too few for them to have a collective term.
Most people also tend to base ''Blatte'' on culture and language and they will probably not consider you a Blatte since you speak with a Spanish accent rathern than an Arabic one

Niggers

Some are rice niggers, some are curry niggers

But they are all niggers.

i've read there are many chileans in sweden that came there as refugees but it seems swedes don't know anything about them so i don't how true is that

It's clearly an Orwellian coverup so the general public believes all these criminals are East Asians.

grim

That was like in the 70's man

Orientals

why do brits hate east asians that much

i understand you hate chinks tho

we call people from asia asian and if we need to be specific we refer to the part of asia they are from

I have no idea how this is somehow controversial to you people

Probably for the same reason your country has no ethnic stats: to obfuscate.

Think about the reactions to the following headlines
>Asian rape gang abuses over a thousand children
>South-Asian rape gang abuses over a thousand children
>Pakistani rape gang abuses over a thousand children
>Islamic rape gang abuses over a thousand children
The clearer the headline, the more likely it is to illicit a "racist" response. Hence South Asians merely being referred to as "Asians". Even "South Asians" keeps it in the middle whether they're dealing with Indians or Pakis. I wonder when even that will be declared racist and the newspapers will be forbidden from referring to race or country of origin (unless it's Poles, of course).

Geee, it's almost as if they all live in on the same continent.

Seriously you're consuming so much US media you are starting to resemble their geographical view of the world.

Yet Hungarians are not referred to as "Europeans". Don't defend newspeak purely out of nationalistic flagwaving, my dude. You're defending your slavemasters because foreigners criticize them.

We call them eastern europeans

>Yet Hungarians are not referred to as "Europeans"

Literally an Jow Forums meme, we call Finnish people Asian too.

Because the Levant was known as 'Asia Minor'.

It's almost like when you're talking about one nationality you don't need to use another grouping. Mind-blowing, isn't it?

We don't hate you, we just don't care.

This is one of the two dumbest insults Brits get on this website desu.

>1. ASIANS lmao haha well it's not the chinese is it LOL XD
Because we used to own, and these people come from, the sub-continent, which is in Asia.
>2. Why are you SO shit at football if you invented it!!!!
Inventing something well over a century ago that was played and developed unilaterally doesn't mean you have divine rights to dominate it.

Anything else is justified tbqh

>Anything else is justified tbqh
So you're admitting ur mum's a slag lol

>Hungarians are not referred to as "Europeans"
