Asian rips off French people (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parisians

'french people' is the definition.
(I know this)

'asian rips off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'asian'+'rips'='asianrips'
'asianrips' is an anagram of 'PARISIANS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
