You'd better argue it out with lisa Nandy MP herself, then, because she seems proud to announce herself as being 'British-Asian'. Personally, I'd say Asian-British was more in keeping.
As for your 'undoing' and alteration of my edits, WHY? I only provided factual notes which were also verifiable.

And, whilst you won't have 'British-Asian' as Lisa's nationality, you see fit to add her to the wikipedia article entitled 'British-Asian Politicians'. Unbelievable! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 ( talk) 12:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Lisa Nandy refers to herself as being British-Asian. Several articles on the web refer to British-Asian nationality. Why do you deny this? It's verifiable FACT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 ( talk) 13:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I will agree to disagree on Nationality. British Asian is, however, a descriptive terminology so I have added the term to her description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 ( talk) 13:22, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Only a British National can become an MP in the British Government. Lisa Nandy is a British National, of Asian descent. She's not Asian. However, Asian Media like to point out her Asian descent. She is regarded as being British-Asian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.71.235 ( talk) 01:06, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
The Nationality debate seems to have become quite philosophical but - it may or may not be pertinent to your on going discussion that Lisa is the daughter of the noted 70's, Indian born, pro immigration campaigner Dipak Nandy. Her mother is white. So if she might be british asian or asian british then i guess that might alter the ratio some what. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.212.184 ( talk) 10:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Guys, I could call myself a Martian, but that doesn't make it so even if some left-wing newspaper goes along with it for reasons of ideology, rather we have to take the weight of evidence as reflected by the sources, these sources state that Nady is an 'Anglo-Indian' as defined by the Oxford, the Collins, Mirriam Webster, Cambridge and Encyclopedia Brittanica dictionaries.

As I have reason to believe there may be as many as two other people now watching this article, I thought I'd ask for input on the reliability of LabourList as a source. This post, attributed to Lisa Nandy, claims she is to be vice-chair of the Communities and Local Government backbench committee. -- Ibn ( talk) 16:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
I've only got snippet view access to Debrett's. It's enough to source Nandy's parent's as (Ann) Luise Nandy and Dipak Nandy but it appears to imply that her grandfather on her mother's side was Liberal MP Frank Byers. Does anyone have a full copy of Debretts to confirm that this is the case? It'll probably be a few works before I can get to a library to confirm it myself, but might be helpful if someone could do it in the meantime. Stuart.Jamieson ( talk) 16:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Hmmm, this is very odd, her entire maternal line is Anglo-Saxon British, the only way to describe her would be 'Anglo-Indian' or 'Anglo-Asian', why are a couple of left-wing papers casting her as 'Asian'? The vast weight of sources refers to 'Anglo-Indian' not 'Asian'. Twobells t@lk 12:07, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

I added some details such as her previous employment and what she studied at university, but this was removed by Ralbegen who said that it made the lede "too busy". Thoughts from anyone else as to whether these details should be included in the lead? Bellowhead678 ( talk) 13:36, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
