UNITED KINGDOM, November 21, 2002: In the short summary given November 17 regarding the use of the word “Asian” for all people in UK from the subcontinent, HPI mentioned with regard to the Bradford riots in 2001 that the media’s use of “Asian” to describe the rioters implied that both Hindus and Muslims were involved, when only Muslim youth were rioting. Just as importantly, the use of the term obscured the fact that Hindus were the actual victims of the riots. Hindus and their businesses were attacked by the Muslim rioters.
