I'm always uncomfortable how to describe people from an Indian/Pakistani background. I don't like to just say "Asian" because that covers a very diverse continent. I want to avoid saying "Indian" because they might take offense if they're Pakistani, and vice versa. Or they'll take offense because they're actually from Bangladesh and I swear it's not that you all look the same to me. I don't want to say "brown" because it sounds like something my racist grandparents would say.
