prob as we (punjabi's) are the funniest of indians heehe
sharethey were asian punjabi is the main language used by asians so........
sharethey were asian punjabi is the main language used by asians so...well actually most 'asians' speak hindi and as a speaking population they aren't that much different to any other region of india (Gujarat etc) so it wasn't that unreasonable a question share
maybe cuz england has the most immigrated asians that are indians and also in england, there were a lot of conflicts between the indians and the british so there are show like this that counteract the conflicts so that the indians and the british and open their minds a little more and learn about each others.

Call them Indian. Calling them Asian is like calling a white Brit European... which is daft cos the french, spanish, germans, swedes, lithuanians......etc are too!
and not all brown people are indian.
i'm sri lankan and if you called me an indian i wouldn't be impressed.
but they're not all indian though are they? the smartest way wud be to call them their continent. cos u're sayin call them indian, thats like callin a white brit french or german. so wot if u say european, aint that the continent they're in. just like asia, if u're not sure say asia, cos india is not the only country there. and just to clear sumfin (i know u aint said anyfin here but i here it too much in my uni) china is not the only oriental country and its still in asia which means they're also asians so just call them that as well instead of immedieatly assuming they're chinese.
