I think we've strayed a little too far from the subject at hand.
Afterglow, I suggest you step down from your high horse before your attitude gets you in trouble. There's room in the world for multiple points of view; it's not "your way or the highway." Personally, I'm already tired of your insistance on bringing WN into all your arguments. The world is bigger than your back yard.
Skulkbait and others: ad hominem attacks in "self defense" are still ad hominem attacks, and still against board policy. Don't feed the trolls.
In closing, two thoughts. A science fiction novel I read many years ago talked of colony ships leaving Earth far in the future. The colonists were described as fairly diverse, but all possessing a light olive skin and slightly slanted eyes. Why? Point #2: as another poster said, there are two billion people of east-Asian descent in the world - 1.2 billion in China alone. Probably about a billion blacks in Africa. The European-descended white has never *been* a majority in human civilization.
