Astra,
The word "Asian" has a different meaning in the UK and US. In the UK it means "from the Indian subcontinent"; in the US it means "from the Far East" - ie Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea, etc.
I have to take issue with your remarks about "Asian" students, by the way. I have many friends in the Asian community, and their culture places an EXTREMELY high value on education, and their children work damned work and get excellent marks. I agree with you that educational standards have slipped in the UK in the last decades, but to "blame" that on Asian students is just silly.
