"Cops said the youths were Asian", says the report. "Asian"? That's a peculiar description. What are Asians doing in London in the first place? And Asia is the planet's largest continent. You'd think a reporter would identify what part of Asia these Asians are from. My guess is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalmykia , but it could be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea . At least religion does not motivate these rampagers. If it did, the reporter would have mentioned their religion. -- Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY)
