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.

Why is Europe considered a separate continent while India is considered part of Asia?
Q. Europe and Asia have been together for much longer than India and Asia and the boundary between Europe and Asia is less substantial than the boundary between India and Asia. KT Dyke: did you just make that up or do you have some support for your statement?
Asked by TC - Sat Mar 14 12:42:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The accepted boundaries of Europe and Asia came about for cultural reasons, not essentially geographic. It began with the ancient Greeks who recognised a boundary between their cultures and others in Asia Minor. As the geography of the region became more understood, the arbitrary division of Europe and Asia extended along cultural lines, between societies viewed as 'Asian' or 'European'. Some of the boundaries follow geographic features such as mountain ranges and lakes, but that's because it also it marked tribal boundaries. The accepted boundaries were established before the advent of modern geology and the understanding of plate tectonics.

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.

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.

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.
