I wonder which “definition” of “Asian” is meant. Asia includes the Middle East, so is this Asian, as in Chinese or Asian, as in Middle Eastern?

Makes one wonder.

I think it's the definition that means "Chemistry Department Grad Student."

Prediction: A muslim student on a jihad. Authorities will claim it has nothing to do with terrorism.

I think since the word "oriental" became politically incorrect, "asian" has replaced it. In other words, I think this is someone that in less PC times would have been called oriental.

Not too many 6ft. tall Chinese or Japanese students.

Odds are it’s what we’re thinking.

Sadly.

UK routinely uses “Asian” instead of Muslim.
