WHAT YOU SAY

Dull Double Edged Knife,

I agree with you. I am Korean, and I have very Mongoloid features. I have single eyelids, golden tan skin, jet black hair, etc. I couldn't look more classically Asian, but I think I am quite good-looking in my own ethnic way. Women pay attention to me often, so I can't say I'm totally coming from left field. I am proud of how I look, and that I don't have a trace of white or European blood. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Dull Double Edged Knife,

The Asians (at least the mainland Chinese) and Middle Easterners all think like an Osama bin Laden. They will never succumb to white supremacy. They have pride and know that their people have once "been there and done that."

Do not get too confident and arrogant. All world powers go through a "bell-curve type" rise and fall. The West is no exception and not immune to it either.

If you admit that whites have some Asian blood (due to all the invasions and race mixing), why you do feel so proud?

Chagdai,

It is funny because I mailed a CD to my Turkish penpal, and he can instantly follow the scale and tones of Chinese traditional orchestra music. The Tang era drastically changed China's court music. The newer scales were based on the Sassanian (Persian) mode. I can say that about half or more of the Chinese instruments derived from a Middle Eastern source (mostly Persia).

The only true (non foreign influenced) Chinese music one can still hear is probably in Korea and Japan.

>>>In fact had it not been Ghengis who conquered Northern China first, The Shah had planned to take it for himself since at that time Northern China was weak.<<<

The Khorezm Turkic kingdom often faced military threats and defeats from the neighboring Kara-Khitai (a Buddhist Chinese-Mongol dynasty ruling in Xinjiang). And, the Khitai themselves were earlier driven out of northern China by the Jurchens (a Manchu people). Later, the last Khorezm Shah (Tuglug was his name???) was chased across the Middle East by the Mongols. He finally sought refuge with the Arabs, and sacked numerous Christian Crusader cities in the Holy Land before going off to Mecca.

>>>It was Persian seige equipemnt that sealed the fate of the Sung empire to the south. The Mongols possessed no seige weaponry capable of breaching the great walls of the Sung capital. It was the implementation of Persian heavy seige weapons that allowed the Mongols to end the 1 year seige in two weeks.<<<

The Mongols took 14 years for it to finally subdue the Southern Sung. Maybe you were referring to the conquest of the Jin (Jurchen Dynasty) in northern China? Yes, I think the Persian weaponry played an important part. But, there was also a factor of the native Han Chinese as well as the remnant Khitans rebelling and going over to the side of Genghis Khan during the sieges against the Jurchen that ultimately led to its fall. It is said that by the time Mongke and Ogodei Khans (the sons of Genghis) finally conquered the Jin, the Mongols were only 1/10th of the total force. The rest were Northern Chinese and Khitan rebels who resented the tyranny of the Jurchens and thus gone over to the Mongols.

It was the same in the Middle East. Hulagu Khan initially came with Mongol, Turkic, Chinese and Tibetan forces. But, soon they found willing accomplices in the Christian Armenians and Georgians (who hated their tyrannical Muslim lords).

"Why is it that Asians get upset at White supremacy, then turn around and try to play up how they have European lineages or how many Ancient rulers had Eruopean or other types of White wives? I find this sooooo funny and pathetic. No matter how much or little Asian blood Whites may have, Whites still control the planet. Deal With It."

The whites control the planet, no doubt, and are aided by the likes of Taliban and Islamic Fundamentalists as well as Hindu Fundamentalists who want to deny their women education, and thus reducing the competition for whites in the global market place. Thus, whether they know it or not, the likes of Taliban are the white supremancist's best friends. In addition, the Asians pander to whites through cosmetic surgery and longing for other "white features". White models on the cover leads to more sales of magazines in Asia than Asian models. However, the whites are afraid of the Chinese and Asian Americans, because they (the Asians and the Chinese) are the only buffer against the re-establishment of white supremacy the world over. The Chinese and many Asians refuse to put their women behind the veil and thus help reduce competition for whites in the global marketplace!!

If the Asians and other minorities are not careful, white supremacy would be back in America. It is already coming back in Australia (see the attachment below). California is minority majority and Texas would be one soon. The minorities really do not need immigration to take over Florida: Puerto Ricans and black Virgin Islanders can do the job by moving to Florida without going to any US Consul. If whites become a minority in Florida and Texas as well, I am certain that the "white only policy" that is under discussion in Australia would never be considered in this county. Otherwise, all bets are off!!
