At least a dozen injured on Westminster Bridge near UK Parliament, attacker shot

I think a part of that is British-English v. American-English.

It is. Over there "Asian" generally refers to Southern and Western Asian people. They still call East Asian people "Oriental" whereas over here that is considered offensive.

I didn't know oriental was offensive, a bit dated maybe.

Guess I should keep my PC list updated a little better.

PC lists always make me feel somewhat disoriented.

Maybe you need a little time back in the old country for a period of reorientation?

Big walk back. Abu Izzadeen is apparently not the attacker. He's actually still in jail.

Just dump his body in the ocean and call it a day.

Well crap. Somebody better order some take-out, the day just got a little longer.

It's similar to calling black people "negro". It's not as bad as that other word and some members of the race are even ok with it, but it's best to avoid. However it is ok to use it to refer to things (e.g. Oriental rugs).

Apparently the attacker used a large fixed blade knife.
For some reasons he didn't follow the law and didn't bother having a non-locking folder with a blade under 3 inches.

It's like terrorists attacks in California where attackers somehow don't follow their limited capacity magazine law ...

It almost as if criminals don't respect laws that are made to keep "people safe" by banning dangerous scary things.

Careful. I hear if you make sense, France and the US will throw you out.

Oh surreeee! What are the astronomical odds that there are 2 jihadists in England?!

Let's stick to reality please.

Yep long before they would throw the jihadists out.
