  1. “Aren’t Indian chicks (and dudes) in England referred to as Asians? ”

    Yes, Asian means south Asian there. More often Pakistani or Bangladeshi than Indian but there is a large Indian population as well. Northern England = more Pakistani, East London = more Bangladeshi, West and NW London = more Indian.

    East Asians tend to be Chinese in the UK, so mostly would just say Chinese. I don’t think ‘Oriental’ is seen as an insult there as it seems to be by some for some reason in the US and Canada. Given that the UK gets inflicted by the US’s hypersensitivity over all things racial I’m sure that’s coming though.

  2. “As I’m sure you know, American chicks go for English accents for reasons that completely escape me.”

    I think all Americans, guys included, give British folks a +20 handicap on IQ just because of their accent.
