It's less nefarious than that, it's just that the empire was in India and those were our first colonial immigrants. Pakis/Asians and Indians being 2 separate things. If you look at old maps you will see Turkey kinda area is 'Asia Minor' then a little bit eastwards is 'Asia', it's just because of that. We distinguished between Indians and non-Indians from that 'Asia' region for political reasons IE Pakis and Indians hating each other.

I was not aware of this side of the story about the term asian, I always assumed that it was used to hide the fact that grooming gangs were made of Pakistanis in the UK.
