A. The definition of a minority is technically the historically disadvantaged. In America, for example, African-Americans were brought here into slavery and as a result many of them remain in inner cities -- uneducated, poor, and on the streets. Many Hispanic people are the same way too... particularly because of the immigration laws we have. And Native Americans have been pushed onto reservations and kept there ever since the white men came to the USA. So these people are given special consideration for this reason. For people like us Asians and Indians who are known to do well and educate ourselves, they don't give us special consideration because we have a historical record of doing well.

A. The criteria you use for global power -the age of Discovery and the era of Colonization are particular periods that I don't believe can be repeated by any nation let alone Asia. Those were eras that were dominated by an elite which saw many living in real poverty. Today the Americans seem to be preoccupied with projecting "power" militarily and the Chinese with the might of millions tied to overproduction.

How much money will I need to take to Asia and when is the best time to travel?
Q. I'm planning a trip to asia (thailand, cambodia, vietnam, laos) for around 2 months+ next year. I'm looking at reasonable budget style accommodation, just as long as its safe and clean. When is the best time to travel and how much money would I require to live comfortably and bring home a few souvenirs?
Asked by Sunny.Days - Sun May 24 02:18:48 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Hi, Food and accommodations are pretty cheap in Asia. For budget traveling, I would say $2000-2500 should be enough. I recommended that you don't bring a lot of cash with you. Just bring travel checks or you can always use your debit card in most places. October - December is the best time to travel to Asia and the weather is perfect during that time. If you need info about Laos visit Have a great time!

I don't know where the Asian Arabs got their European blood from but they probably got it because they traveled to different regions to spread islam and when they went to Europe they must have mixed with the locals or maybe its because the Arab countries of Asia… [cont.]
