I always misspelled it "Philipino" until someone corrected me so now I
spell it "Filipino."  I always thought both spellings are strange since
the Filipinos I know who are from the Philippines pronouce it
"Pilipino."

It appears that I didn't explain the body fat thing very well. Sorry.

One more try:

Our bodies can be divided into two parts: fat and water. The fat part
consists of, well, fat. Water is virtually everything else: blood,
muscle, lungs, digestive system, and other organs. How much of a drug
(including alcohol) affects you depends on the concentration of drug in
your body. And, given a certain dose of drug (say one shot of whiskey),
the concentration will depend on the volume of fat, the volume of water,
and the relative ability of the drug to dissolve in either fat or water.
Ethanol does not dissolve into fat very well. As a result, almost all
of the ethanol you drink goes into the water part, and stays out of the
fat part. So, the effective concentration of ethanol in your body,
or blood alcohol concentration is:

              [amount of ethanol you ingested]
              --------------------------------
               [volume of water in your body]


So, given a man and a woman of the same weight, the woman will have less
water in her body because women, on average, have a higher percentage
body fat than men do. If this man and woman both do a shot of whiskey,
the man has more water to dilute the amount of alcohol ingested. So, his
blood alcohol concentration will be lower, and so he will be less affected by
the amount of alcohol he drank. This is assuming, of course, that both
the man and the woman have equal tolerances, etc. There are a lot of
other factors that determine how fast you get drunk.

I thought that I might take the time to point out that my previous 
post indicating that the Korean gov't is giving preferential treatment
to Korean-AMERICANS has been verified by this LA times article.
I might also point out that my opinion that this behavior is RACIST
and BIGOTTED seems to be shared by other Americans.

As I said before, if the Korean gov't wants to help Americans, then
it's fine.  However, the Korean gov't should _not_ be giving preferential
treatment to AMERICAN citizens of Korean ancestry.

The Koreans are a hell of a long way from understanding that 
"Asian-American [are] 'just as American' as anyone else."  But 
they are probably far ahead of the Chinese-cu.

Also, this Korean preference thing has been done else--in Japan.
The Korean gov't and the Korean people don't give a hoot about
other foreigners in Japan.  Further, the Koreans in Japan don't want to
give up their Korean citizenship but want the benefits of Japanese
citizenship.   Japan almost won't do it.  Even the USA wouldn't concede to such
outrageous demands.  But the Korean gov't is insisting that the Japanese
gov't give the Koreans in Japan special privileges not afforded to
other foreigners.

Note that the Japanese gov't, prejudiced as it is toward foreigners
in general, has in no way treated the Koreans any differently from
other foreigners.  If anything, the Japanese gov't has been helping
the Koreans out--ahead of other foreigners--because of the bogus
and racist attitudes and claims of the Korean gov't, which DOES favor some
foreigners over others.  Specifically, the Korean gov't DOES favor
foreigners who are ethnically Koreans over other foreigners.
The immigration laws are an example.

If that isn't bigotted and racist, what is?

Asian-American Heritage Month isn't until next May, but we can't start
this project too early....

Let's suppose that I happened to have a friend in the advertising business
who was willing to do some pro-bono work for the Asian-Amercian community.
So we want to do some 15- and 30-second TV spots to be premiered next May
that will get out the word that Asian-Americans are Real Americans.  My 
thinking is that these would be targeted to local stations, so I'd want 
(for example) a Texas slant.

A couple of ideas:

1. Profile a Japanese-American veteran of WW II living in Texas.

2. Have a voice-over asking a series of Asian-Americans "Where are you
   from?" and have them answer "Fort Worth" or "El Paso" or "Lubbock," then 
   conclude with some unifying slogan.  They could be shown in action doing
   Real American things like playing football or driving a pickup truck.

Any more?  Any ideas for a unifying slogan/campaign theme?  Do such
public service announcements exist elsewhere?

     Not to criticize Kevin's grammar, but I think the letter sounded just
fine the way it was, with the errors.  It sounds like an *American*, rather
than some over-educated, stereotypical, model-minority geek.  1/2 :-)

     I too disagreed with a sentence or two, but like Mathew, I'd prefer

After the Asian-American community has won some measure of political power
and respect, then we can quibble over the pieces of pie.

Big deal; the Japanese Imperial family uses virginity a criterion for marrying

You might also note various pronouncements out of the region (from Singapore
and Thailand, notably) that the continued existence of US forces in the
region is very desireable to abborgate the need for Japan to expand *its*
military. Singapore offered to replace the lost base in the Phillipines
for free. *Vietnam* has done the same, and have asked merely that we lift our

Once again, the problem is the Japanese tours. It has led to an outbreak of

We were looking through them over the weekend and didn't notice

In a copy of an East Bay free weekly (it's a big one, in two parts),
there were a couple of AA male models in the ads.  It'll come around
some time in the rest of the continent, I'm sure ...

When are people going to stop whining?  Asking for advice is one thing,
but whining is another.

Does Mr. Lee honestly think that the world is fair or going to be
fair any time soon?  Wake up and smell the fried twinkies.

Does Mr. Lee honestly think that Chinese-cu people treat Europeans-cu
any better?   Then again, they don't treat people in general all that great.
Does he think that Japanese people treat non-Japanese Orientals any
better?   Does he think that Koreans treat the Japanese any better?

If Mr. Lee is asking for advice (and he's not), then it's fine.
Otherwise, he should stop his stupid whining.  Whining is pointless.

Life _isn't_ fair.  Wake up and smell the bloody sushi, okay?
