It's not really. Here 'Asian' is pretty much synonymous with 'brown person' so it's more of an indicator of what police are on the lookout for - a brown man, lol.
For initial reports I think it's as specific as it can be.
I understand what people from the UK mean when they say Asian but I disagree that it isn't too broad. The problem I have is that it's a shitty and ambiguous description. Let's say a Polish guy commits a crime and it's unknown they are Polish at the time. The description you are going to hear from witnesses and the police is most likely going to be 'White male'. If the same thing happens and the person is Jamaican but it is unknown, the description you are going to get in the UK is 'Black male'. But now, if the guy is brown, all of a sudden the description is 'Asian Male'. The first two are more accurate in terms of physical description and also leave less room for mistakes.
Right, I get your point but I'm saying 'asian male' here is our 'brown male'. That's just how things are done here. Asian = brown. It's not out of the norm, or a way to blur the lines so as not to offend, it's just the term we use here.
I often describe the school I went to as 'hella fucking asian' and everyone I speak to (in the UK) knows that to mean 'brown as fuck'.
I understand that that is what you guys do and it's what everyone is used to but it's still dumb lol. They use 'black male' and 'white male' as descriptions but somehow 'brown male' is offensive. Is there some historical context in the UK that I'm missing when it comes to the usage of 'brown male' that makes it more offensive in particular?
Honestly after talking about it more I can see why people outside of the uk thing it's ridiculous.
But to answer your question, most of the time referring to people as 'south asian' or 'east asian' is enough to understand the context. If people need clarification then of course clarification is provided.
We determine it without thinking simply from the context, for example if someone talks about Asian communities in London or Birmingham I know what they mean. If they talk about Asian international students at university you know they're talking about people from the far East. If they're talking about how there is a large Asian population of doctors you know they're talking about people from on or near the Indian subcontinent. If we're referring to an Indian person's ethnicity in a university we would say they're Indian. If we're talking about a Chinese person in London we'd say Chinese.
I mean you're really just supporting my argument. The fact that it means so many different things in different contexts just proves it's too broad of a term.
Not at all. You see, unlike /r/drama users most people are not autistic. Because of this they are capable of understanding nuance and inferring meaning from context. They are also able to deal with things not being ordered and categorised rigorously and so do not need separate words for these contexts.
I've said numerous times that I understand the meaning and usage of the term. Understanding the usage of a term does not mean it is not open to criticism. You say 'capable of understanding nuance' but the fact that the term is ambiguous means it lacks nuance.
I'm sorry, but this is just such a stupid fucking hill to die on.
It sounds like you're waiting for someone to accidentally spill the beans and admit it's a progressive political correctness conspiracy so you can sperg out and call us all lefty cucks, but instead you're just getting increasingly frustrated at everyone repeatedly reassuring you it's a pretty normal term over here.
I'm criticising the term because it's vague and inaccurate especially when it comes to physical descriptions. I didn't even bring up it being 'politically correct' someone else did. You're making a bunch of assumptions about me because you can't actually think of an argument so instead you decided to build me up as something I'm not. I'm criticizing the term and it's accuracy especially in regards to descriptions, and all people responding seem to be able to come up with are 'this is what it means and this is what we're used to' which I already know and aknowledge.
I'm criticising the term because it's vague and inaccurate especially when it comes to physical descriptions.
But it's perfectly accurate to any Brit. In this context it pretty clearly means 'brown skinned person of what is very likely Muslim persuasion'.
I'm criticizing the term and it's accuracy especially in regards to descriptions, and all people responding seem to be able to come up with are 'this is what it means and this is what we're used to' which I already know and acknowledge.
Then why fucking bother arguing in circles about it. No one is saying anything other than "yeah it's just how we say it, no it's not like a political thing", because that's pretty much all it comes down to. Do you think Asian should be an exclusive term for those rice eating yellow ching chong motherfuckers or do you just want a pat on the head for pointing out a basic discrepancy everyone is aware of?
If you want a more 'proper' answer, it evolved as white/black/Asian because the 'brown' minorities here are so predominantly Indian/Pakistani, it didn't make much sense to continuously keep referring to them as just 'brown'. They're not Arabs or Mexicans.
But then you also can't casually refer to every Asian-Brown person as that and also Indians and Pakistanis really don't like it when you confuse the two so we've settled on Asian/South Asian and East Asian.
Not here, the news tried to spin it as Asian without clarification for a while. Also if it evolves so easily, then it could easily evolve again by just saying middle eastern.
Ya, it makes me sad. If we had started the mayocide even just a week ago all of this could have been avoided. Every moment we delay the more innocent people die.
Yes, all those centuries of Islamic peace and co-existence ruined the last couple of decades.
but it's certainly true that this new wave of xenophobic nationalism has helped Islamic extremists with their anti-west rhetoric.
Do you know what else "helps Islamic extremists with anti-west rhetoric?" Westerners existing and having western cultures that are contrary to what Islam says is permitted.
Do you even realize how fucking disgusting your implication that Muslims wouldn't be violent if western people didn't resist Islam is?
Go ask the minorities in Muslim countries that keep their heads down and don't dare speak even their god's name in Arabic for fear of violence how peaceful Muslims are if you cow to them.
If we hadn't violently rejected Islam hundreds of years ago and fought to keep Europe free the entire planet would be coated in illiterate Islamist shitholes.
Most of the Crusades were conquering the middle east from muslims, not Europe.
As a response to Muslim aggression and raids as well as the persecution of Christians in the middle east. The middle east used to have a lot of Christian countries; Islam expanded into them and destroyed them.
We're talking about invading Europe, and the persecution boiled down to basically levying heavy taxes and not allowing them to proselytize/worship in public. Course, one guy went crazy and burned down the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, but we all know how that went...

I didn't claim that we shouldn't 'resist Islam' - That's just a different conversation.
I support gay marriage, so it makes perfect sense for me to supporting bringing in an infinite number of people who believe that throwing gays off buildings is not even controversial.
It's hard to say if it's balanced, it depends on the thread, but it has a healthy diversity of opinions and people would rather debate you than downvote you unless you're being a proper fucknut.
Given that literally every popular political subreddit on this site is massively biased to the left and heavily censors (besides /r/the_donald) that's a meaningless statement.
It's like advertising the eating of dog shit because it's "typically cleaner than the feces of many other mammals by germ/virus count and type metrics"

I know you were, and my sarcastic reply was a reference to the fact that Muslims have been attacking the west for as long as Islam has existed.

Breivik loved the left-wing parties, he used them for propaganda for how much they hate the west.

I support gay marriage, so it makes perfect sense for me to supporting bringing in an infinite number of people who believe that throwing gays off buildings is not even controversial.

Tbh this sounds as hypocritical as supporting women's rights and then also supporting a religion that stones women to death for being raped.

/r/ukpolitics is one of the most balanced politics subs on the site, definitely the most balanced native english speaking one.

It's hard to say if it's balanced, it depends on the thread, but it has a healthy diversity of opinions and people would rather debate you than downvote you unless you're being a proper fucknut.

Given that literally every popular political subreddit on this site is massively biased to the left and heavily censors (besides /r/the_donald) that's a meaningless statement.
It's like advertising the eating of dog shit because it's "typically cleaner than the feces of many other mammals by germ/virus count and type metrics"

I haven't checked the news yet, but, if it turns out the culprit is Muslim, I can tell you that I'm not surprised at all.
