They sure are reluctant to accurately describe these men. Asian? Really?

"The first is described as Asian in his early 20s, approximately 6ft and of slim build. The second is also described as Asian, aged in his early 20s, 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in with a large build and tight beard."

Purposely misleading although Asia Minor is turkey. No doubt one of the invaders from the east, the ancient enemy/barbarians have been allowed free roam. Insanity.

In Britain, they refer to Pakistanis as Asians, since they technically are. This is done intentionally to obscure the identities of the troublemakers in Britain.

What does this have to do with politics, and this country? Sounds like the wrong part of the forum.

It's Britain. I'm sure they'll catch these guys and give them a stern talking to plus another series of job training and whatnot.

The US like all western countries have similar immigration, diversity and multiculturalism failed policies and a media that hides the failure for political reasons.

....other controversies.

Not to mention that these types of attacks are what are cited in political circles with regards to immigration and so forth.

Yes, Pakistan is part of Asia, so Pakistanis would be technically Asian. The issue is most people think of East Asians when they hear the descriptor of Asian, so the use of such a broad term is confusing to many and only serves to obscure the reality of the situation.

Descriptors should serve the purpose of informing. The broader and less specific the descriptor is, the less value it has. If I said that a girl was raped by two humans, then how valuable is that?
