lol Pakistan IS in Asia..

His last name sounds middle eastern

You know the Khans were Mongols from Mongolia in Asia so its an Asian name doofus?

Genghis Khan:



Lotta racial mixing going on when the Khans started spreading their wings.

Also its highly unlikely Amir Khan has any Arab blood in him so is not Middle Easter. He is more likely to have Persian ancestry than anything else.

He's a Brisian.

obvious culture difference going on here.

rightly or wrongly....

asian in the uk is usually used in reference to pakistani/****ladeshi/indian/sri lankan people
asain in the us is usually used in reference to chinese/japanese/pinoy etc.

although all of the above races/nationalities fall under the same continental term.

In the US Asian was usually said Chinese but became East asian.

Indians, Pakistanis, Bengalis are known as South Asian for cultural reference.

[THe TRiNiTY]

British-Asian as many have said.

Nonetheless, he's far more British than he is anything else, due to the fact that he was born in England.
