It said they also added paintwork to represent Asian communities..."Asian" is England code-talk, FYI. So the train seems to be quite a potential clash of cultures.

Be Muslim.

Christian country pays me to invade it.

Get credit card for free halal food at local grocer.

Rape and pillage. Get free apartment in town.

Stab infidel. Get free train pass.

Train is trans gay homo train.

Train is also made Muslim Arab. Mohammad (pbuh) disapproves of faggetry.

First thing I thought of. Now Its just a matter of time before an 'aaaasian' blows the train up. And the media will knowingly lie and tie it to 'violent right wingers' as per usual.

Qatar is in Asia

Russia is in Asia

Israel is in Asia

"Asian" is American code-talk too

I still giggle when my dad calls them "orientals" - but in this case, maybe it is a more useful term to separate SE Asians from Middle East or Russia-ish

UK cops already do, and this is the source of the confusion (on the US side. We are not in the slightest confused, no-one thinks Oriental when someone here says Asian).

Paki is a pejorative, so unlike Indians, we can't use that either.

Recording this code in interactions is required under section 95 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991

IC1 Nordic - Native British, Scandinavian, German, etc.
IC2 Mediterranean - South European, e.g. Spanish, Italian or Greek
IC3 Black - Sub-Saharan African or Afro-Caribbean
IC4 Indian Subcontinent - South Asian
IC5 Far East e.g. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Southeast Asian
IC6 West Asia or North Africa
IC9 Unknown

So by the time it gets to the papers, the writers use the descriptive part, not the code.

At the 2011 census we had about 6% IC4 and 1% IC5, in the US those numbers are the other way around.

So it makes sense for you to use "Asian" to mean IC5 and us to use "Asian" to mean IC4

The other races are not so common here. We would just use "East European" to mean anyone from the Baltics to the Chinese border.

Aren't your papers often using "Asian" for IC6?

Probably only the transgender cars. They may take the rest with them though. Selfish cunts.
