We call black people 'black',oriental people 'chinese',and indian/paki people 'indian'
fair enough...although you'd prolly piss a few pakistani people off calling em "indian" simply because the 2 countries have a huge cricket rivalry...and viceversa....
certain south indian people also precisely like being called south indian....intellectually these r some of the smartest people on the planet and usually reside in the engineering/physics depts of all major universities...however they resent being called anything but south indian
also with the above..you'd confuse quite a few "fresh off the boat" pakistani and indian people cause when they think black...they think colour not race..and would include in that essay dark skinned pakis and indians also
