In the UK, the asians get possibly a worse deal than people of african descent..

And the asians (indians/pakistanis/bangladeshis) and africans both get classified as 'black'

sigh...

I think Influx is thinking "Asian" as in "Oriental", while you UK people tend to think of Asian as being Pakistani/Bangladeshi.. In the States they're usually not thought of as "Asian"

in silicon valley (lived there 4 years and might be going back), whites are now officially a minority (largest minority but only 49% white according to census...) about 22% asian, 20% hispanic, but only like 4% black. and most of the blacks i knew were not US-born, but either french/english immigrants (you could tell by their accents   or pacific islanders (a few native africans as well i think). it seems like a very racially integrated area (i am now, and have been for a few years, the only white guy on my team at work, and it took me 6 months before i noticed) so i've never really understood it.
