Is "Asian" a nationality? Is "Scots" a race?

A pisspoor attempt to point the racist finger at someone

Nah, just trying to wind up Minestrone.

How do you know they were Asians? They could've been Scots. What accent did they have?

That's quite a famous case, the Glasvegas song Flowers and Football Tops was written about that incident.

Read it again, I'm still not sure about the race of the three perps

Maybe this will clear it up.

Three Asian men jailed for racist murder (From Asian Image)

Such was the feeling of revulsion among Glasgow's Muslim community that some wealthy Asian businessmen in the city offered to put up money to have the Shahid brothers and Mushtaq killed in Pakistan.

However, after intensive behind-the-scenes lobbying of senior figures in the Pakistan government by Mohammed Sarwar, MP for Glasgow Central, they were eventually arrested and extradited.

Their race is "Asian".
Dodgy lot, just look at those Chinks and Japs.

I only go by what I have read.

Three men have been jailed for life after they were found guilty of the racially-motivated murder of white Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald.
Faisal Mushtaq, 27, Zeeshan Shahid, 28, and his brother Imran Shahid, 29, had denied murdering Kriss, 15, in 2004.

Kriss's mother Angela - quiet during the trial - shouted: "You bastards," as the jury delivered its verdict.

Imran Shahid must serve a minimum of 25 years, Zeeshan Shahid, 23 years minimum and Mushtaq, at least 22 years.
Outside the court, Ms Donald, 42, thanked police, the prosecution and witnesses.

She said: "Justice has been done, thank you - it is over."

The six week trial had heard that her son had shouted: "I'm only 15, what have I done?" as he was dragged from the street and into a car.

The gang took him on a 200-mile journey to Dundee and back while they made phone calls looking for a house to take him to.
There, they held his arms and stabbed him 13 times before dousing him with petrol and setting him alight while he may still have been alive.

I only go by what I have read.

What flavour ice cream was it?

Sorry - I left out the most important bit of information... It was mint choc chip ice cream (of a make that you don't get here). Hubby's favourite. Mind you, it was December in Philadelphia so was perhaps a tad nippy for ice cream.

Death by chocolate

My hubby got mugged at gunpoint when we lived in the States (a true USA experience!). He gave over his wallet without argument but was miffed when the mugger also took the ice cream he'd just been to the shop to buy! The police's response was to tell him to buy a gun...

Seriously though he did get upset afterwards and wonder whether he should have done something different. But he got over it, as I'm sure your son will. Imagine how much worse it could have been if he had objected.
