Since the 17th century, there have been East Asian people in Britain. Today, such people are described as Chinese or other in the British census, and primarily originate from countries such as Japan, Korea, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Although they originate from Asia, these people are not classed as British Asians because in United Kingdom common and official usage, Asian almost exclusively refers to people from South Asia, such as those from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
