Indians/Sri Lankans/Pakistanis/Bangaldeshis in Britain have commandeered the term “Asian”. Now, even British officialdom honours them with that title, at the expense of the rest of Asia. On official British forms, my (Filipina wife) had to fill in, she has had to put "Others", as there “Asian” didn’t include Philippines and there was no other suitable regional box.
