Gov. acted illegally...????

Many of the Indians cooking and waiting on you are not Indians

Also many of the Chinese when the missus asks are not chinese.

What are they then? imposters?

Most Indian Resturants i have been to are run by nepalese, bangladeshis, pakistanis and even sri lanakans. The food in them is normally geared up to larger boys and resembles nothing indian mates have grown up eating.
When i went to indian resturants run for indian patrons the food is totally different and far far nicer more falvour less trying to kill you by chillis.

The workers in the Chinese resturants seem to be devided into two groups either totally chinese or assorted south east asians who look chinese from my wifes extensive research I have the credit card bill to prove it
For example in our local high street one resturant is totally mainland chinese and the other although called a chinese seems to have staff from maylaisa, singapore, phill,burma, vietnam and thailand, possibly hong kong but never the mainland chinese.
The one which is staffed by the south easten is thought to be proper chinese food by the locals as more chinese looking people go there and it has exotic dishes they don't know ie the staff cook dishes from various asian countries not the brit chinese fare.
The same happens in france it appears the chinoy we went to in a small street in a surburb of paris was run by people from vietnam my wife found out (we were in a hotel only for three days but by the end the wife was eating with the staff even though they barely shared a common lanuage apart from one of the daughters speaking English.

I can even think of at least two chinese takeaways which are run and owned by pinoy families in london(one near us and one in another art of london one of my wifes mums cousins run) but to the brits they are led to belive they are chinese otherwise it wouldn't be right init
