Continentals see donkey get in a fix (6)
I believe the answer is:
asians
'continentals' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'donkey get in a fix' is the wordplay.
'donkey' becomes 'ass' (ass is a term for a donkey).
'get' is an insertion indicator.
'fix' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'fixed' mean this).
'in'+'a'='ina'
'ina' is an anagram of 'ian'.
'ass' going around 'ian' is 'ASIANS'.
'see' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for asians that I've seen before include "Continentals" , "They come from countries such as India and Pakistan" , "Natives of e.g. India" , "Eg, those from thirteen across" , "Oriental people" .)
