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. Know why Google retreat from China ? I can tell you based on the huge population and rapid growth in economics, the internet booms prosperously in China and many Web companies retrieve unbelievable success here such as QQ, Baidu, TaoBao, etc. But unfortunately few foreign company among them. There are many explanations including huge culture rift, weak copyright protection, strict news censorship, and so on. It is difficult to give you the reliable infomation --- and you'd better not trust the data from Chinese goverment until you're sure you have a good understanding of Chinese goverment --- but Google is a good case for research.

How will a United States economic collapse affect Asia?
Q. Apparently, from what I've heard the United States is headed for an economic collapse. What I want to know is how will an Economic Collapse affect Asia? According to Peter Schiff, Asian currency will rise as the US dollar falls. China is looking to be a world economic leader and would lead Asia.

A. First of all, the US economy is not going to collapse. It's not even clear we're in a recession.

What do you think was the European trade impact on Asia?
Q. "Europe's trade impact on Asia: first impressions" From the very first, European interests and colonistys have always declared that trade with Asia brought considerably more benefits to Asia than negative impacts. Europeans argued that it brought commerce, jobs, and eventually education, hospitals and social improvement. So what do u think?

A. It is hard to generalize lumping everyone together as European. Early countries such as Portugal and Holland made fortunes off the spice trade, and had little regard for the natives. However the British invested heavily in the infrastructure of modern day India and Malaysia, this helped both succeed. While countries like Vietnam and Indonesia failed, because of the lack of investment and training by their colonial rulers.

Why is Europe and Asia two diffrent continents while they are on the same land?

A. The reason these two countries share the same land mass but are considered to be two distinct continents is pretty baffling, I guess. However, one explanation is that centuries ago, these nations' leaders decided that since the people that reside in these two countries (Europe and Asia) are just as distinct and dissimilar as the countries themselves, that they might as well, for political necessity, say that Europe and Asia are two distinct continents. So, the decision to call designate Europe and Asia as two continents, though they share the same land mass, was much more of a political decision than it was a geographical one.

It depends on the airline, where you're going and the seat availability on the particular flight you want. For most of the budget airlines here, you can buy a last minute ticket for a pretty good fare, and some of the major airlines also will discount fares when they know the flight won't be full for last-minute travel. But like almost everywhere, advance purchase is usally the best way to go.

A. All geologists and a lot of (most? all?) geographers don't recognize Europe as a separate continent, but a cultural region of the Eurasian continent. Having the Urals as a boundary is meaningless and arbitrary. Let's call California a separate continent. The Sierra Nevada separates the continent of California from North America. Mountains don't separate continents, tectonic plates do. Europe and Asia are on one plate, the Eurasian Plate.

A. All geologists and a lot of (most? all?) geographers don't recognize Europe as a separate continent, but a cultural region of the Eurasian continent. Having the Urals as a boundary is meaningless and arbitrary. Let's call California a separate continent. The Sierra Nevada separates the continent of California from North America. Mountains don't separate continents, tectonic plates do. Europe and Asia are on one plate, the Eurasian Plate.
