In the UK, South Asians are often referred to simply as "Asians". Canadians of South Asian origin are often referred to as "Indo-Canadians". Historically, South Asians were referred to as "East Indians", but this is rarely used nowadays. Another common term used in North America to refer to South Asians is "Desi". The most common racial slur applied to South Asians in the UK is "Paki", although this slur is not restricted to South Asians, and can also be used to refer to people of Middle Eastern descent.
"It's so shit that since 9/11, loads of ignorant fucks in Europe and North America think that all South Asians are terrorists!"
"An example of how white people think all South Asians are the same, is that the majority of so-called "Indian" restaurants in the UK are run by people of Bangladeshi origin."

A boot bitch who cares only about school marks and hits children with her broomstick when she's not impressed
Person 1: why was your mom so angry at you
Person 2: she's a south Asian mother and she looked at my report card and you know what happens next.

When you are giving a girl the shocker and you suddenly switch out your pinky for a ghost pepper. Older couples often use this surprising maneuver in an attempt to spice up an otherwise failing marriage.
Anne couldn't sit down for a week after Shiven slipped her the ol' South Asian Spice Trader. Havvah!

Afro south Asian Indians are As commonly conceptualized, the modern states of South Asia include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Ethnic groups include Sindhi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, and many others. The Hindus in South India are followers of various Hindu branches such as Vaishnavism,Shaivism, Shaktism, Brahmanism and others. These four castes are the Brahmins (priests, teachers), Kshatriyas (rulers, warriors), Vaishyas (landowners, merchants) and Sudras (servants), and the 5th group are the untouchables, called Dalits. One of the Hinduism's holy books, the Srimad Bhagavatam has a part which clearly says these castes must based on skills, qualities and activities. However in real life tradition, castes separate people according to their birth.
Afro south Asian Indians are a people who were colonized by their oppressors the British raj, which was a period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. Historically, Indians and Europeans alike popularised perceptions of south Indians and lower castes as darker skinned. In the late 18th and 19th centuries orientalists held that Aryan peoples had displaced indigenous Dravidians across the Indian subcontinent, from around 2000 to 1600 BC. After becoming a British colony, the image of a “Black colored” Indian was projected as inferior by British public officials. Darker-skinned Indians were less likely to be hired by the British empire and were given odder jobs and more tedious work, while lighter-skinned Indians were targeted as “allies” of the British and were hired more frequently for government roles. As stated by an American Sociological Society paper, “Whiteness became identified with all that is civilised, virtuous and beautiful,” and these lighter-skinned Indians were “closer to the opportunities that were only afforded to white people.” As colonialism occurred throughout the world, this mindset slowly drove itself into the minds of Indians, whether they realized it or not. A wedge separated Indians into lighter and darker shades of brown, creating generations with an innate desire to be lighter.
