A term used to denote people of South Asian ethnic origin. Such people usually have similar facial structure to Caucasians, and can have skin tone anywhere between the paleness of Caucasian people to the darkness of black people.
Regions in which the majority of the population are ethnically South Asian include India, eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Guyana, Suriname, the United Arab Emirates and Trinidad.
In the UK, South Asians are often referred to simply as "Asians". Canadians of South Asian origin are often referred to as "Indo-Canadians". Historically, South Asians were referred to as "East Indians", but this is rarely used nowadays. Another common term used in North America to refer to South Asians is "Desi". The most common racial slur applied to South Asians in the UK is "Paki", although this slur is not restricted to South Asians, and can also be used to refer to people of Middle Eastern descent.

"It's so shit that since 9/11, loads of ignorant fucks in Europe and North America think that all South Asians are terrorists!"
"An example of how white people think all South Asians are the same, is that the majority of so-called "Indian" restaurants in the UK are run by people of Bangladeshi origin."

I'm from Southbury. Not NYC, not Boston, not Hartford, and sure as hell no where in Jersey. The Bury. We don't have parkways or throughways here, we have one highway, and as far as I'm concerned - 84 is the only one that matters. We don't go to bars in highschool. We drive 65 mph to go to Cavanaugh's, that is, the "packy", not the liquor store, but the package store, and we make damn sure we get there before 9. We have expensive cars and we don't have stupid accents. We lock our doors when we go to Waterbury, ad we like nothing more than watching our Panthers own shit on Friday nights in the fall. We drink Starbucks here, none of that shit you brew yourself. We hang out at KMart and we enjoy a good party in the woods. We don't get bunked, hammered, smashed, or plastered here. No, no, we get FUCKED UP, and we're damn proud of it. If I don't like something, I'll buy a new and better one, because I'm richer than you. I'm from Southbury.
