Mauritius is next to Africa and is part of the African Union, therefore they technically are not Asian. Most Mauritians are descendants of slaves from India or from China, so technically they are Asian-Mauritians, but they are also African. This is comparable to how African-Canadians are North Americans.
Maybe because UK only needed Mauritius as a port to get to Asia... but boat travel became obsolete when air travel came along, and Mauritius got democracy ... that's just my guess
