posted a question in an alternate official language of your country? What was the response to it? In your answer can you please hint at your ethnicity and location. Id like to get a bit of an idea of how culturally aware people are without being in any way judgmental LOL thanks Report monkeys please note that New Zealand Maori is an official language of the country from which I am posting and therefore this question complies with the Yahoo TOS. Oh the translation loosely means: Listen up Hi everybody and welcome.
Answer: An answer anyway.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_yltAvr1ePtTrA6E8Gsv5mv6kbnty6IX;_ylv3?qid20100812133107AAVt9Cd&show7profile-info-yb11Z2qfaa Im a German/Mexican lost in California. This reminds me of the time at the bar when this couple came up to me and asked me if I was "bi." Now, I did study some Spanish in high school, got pretty good grades too, so I said, "Sure, Im bi." Then they invited me to an "S&M" party they were having later that night. And I thought, "Great Spaniards and Mexicans.."

PLEASE HELP URGENT Statistics - what graph should I use?
Ive got an assignment due in in 20 hours, in which I need to sleep and attend lectures - and Im finding my downfall in a stupid graph So: If I had several groups of raw data, and was given the means, and asked to "Display the four group means on a graph and join with straight lines. What does this graph suggest?" then what sort of graph would I draw? Extra info: The data is the length of sentences in months for offenders in four groups of ethnicity: NZ European; Pacific Islands; Maori; and Other. The means are 16.5, 23.33, 32.0 and 16.67. I had assumed I should draw a bar graph of the means, but the "draw a line" bit has me stumped. Thanks SO SO much lx
Answer: Edit: I read the question in detail again. For each mean, just plot a point. Then join these points by straight lines. This is frequency polygon. _________.

Do I not have people who are of the same ethnicity?
Im an Asian. My mother is Malaysian, my father is Taiwanese, but i never mixed well with my fathers group because my mom and dad are divorced and i mix mainly with moms group. I live in New Zealand. People here are mainly maori or european. even most of the asians here are korean or chinese though im a chinese malaysian, im not especially fitting in with them either. i never went to school in asia before so i never really felt in a secure place where there are people i can relate to. its especially hard to get into relationships with anybody, because of my status. even my closer friends from malaysia cannot relate well to me, because im not fully malaysian. so ive kinda lost my sense of identity, like i dont belong to a group or there arent others who share my culture. Am i taiwanese, or malaysian? where is my home country? i was born in taiwan, but ive never returned there since because of my familys situation. Am I just an oddity that nobody can relate to?
Answer: i think youre focusing on your own differences to much. quit focusing on them and try to enjoy the friends you have. Im pretty sure your friends dont focus on so much how 1/4 of you is this and that.

Do u think the MJ skit has REFLECTED BACK TO THE US THEIR OWN HISTORY AND BLAMED Oz? Boycott Harry Mc Junior?
Sorry but Aussies genuinely dont know US race history : were a separate nation. Its ironic to defend perceived racism as then a chance to then b racist to Australians. But can we be offended a US crime show couldnt even tell an aboriginal from a black man who wasnt a Mexican?.Showing the depth of the definition ‘black in the USA. How racist to Fijians, Tongans etc. Dont come back to Australia Harry Jnr..even though you have probably never copped racism? You havent tried to stop a race crime but come to a foreign country with your own definition of race and then expected those in the foreign country to take on your sh$t. Similiar to US forcing their views on Iraq ‘If we think it in the US it must be true worldwide mentality. Seemingly US only defines one people group as black, which then disregards entire people groups that live across the world, including here. Why werent Africans here offended? Thats right, we live in Oz not the US.I could chose to be offended that my Iraqi-Oz exs family fled Sadaam to have the US then jeapordise the rest of their family there. I know a Kurdish guy whose entire family was killed by Sadam a true example of race hate. Has indulgent little Harry insulted black people of different races, tribes, nationas and ethnic groups by assuming all blacks are ‘black american. Even the indian guy in the skit is scratching his head. AUSTRALIA is one of the most multicultural countries in the world MORE THEN THE US, we have far more ethnicities here then the US far from the backwater the US is. Oh..I am mixed race here..I dont draw a single comment here…yet in the US copped face to face racism form white Wall street guys AND Latinas cracking it when they assumed I was one of them then wasnt. So anything with brown eyes must be black or Latina? WRONG AGAIN....I dont know what blackface is…do you REALLY EXPECT other countries to implement YOUR PROBLEMS HERE? Harry,.when you leave your own country….what is racist in one country is not racist here…based on who lives where and evolving humours, frames of references. Here africans tend to be from Africa ,colonial oppression of aboriginals by the English well documented. I was in the US this year…they thought Tasmania was New Zealand or didnt even know were world war allies while using us to fight their oil wars? Forget Harry, he is a self indulgent a$$hole who thinks nothing of inciting racial hatred by dismissing an entire countries cultural difference and encouraging racism so were all pretty angry at this precious little boy. Did he think he was in the USA? Stay there then…dont come back. Being bi-racial you can see both sides including someone jumping on board to something not effecting them….and my background is far more diverse then yours The next time someone holds a mirror up to your own race hate past…dont point the finger at someone else at your own shame. Sorry African Americans…we really GENUINELY dont know much at all about your history..but we love you…and you only guess about ours based on what little you see on TV. You would be treated better here then the US. Hurricane Katrina is a very good example of how the US really treats its citizens. Australians think Harry can F himself for insulting us. At least the Jacksons knew M loved Oz. Even if we do find out ur histry….its STILL NOT RELEVANT HERE AT ALL. WE ARE NOT THE US. ARE YOU HASSLING FIJIANS FOR THE FIJIAN /INDIAN PROBLEMS they have there? Why not they are black? Oh...but not for the US. Those women from the view know we dont have black americans here. Leave us the f alone as Harry has beyond insulted us. And yeah I have black american friends…they know didnt know what a Maori was not to mention many aborginal tribes. To be honest….we dont know much about US…but they know less about world. Please boycott Harry for appearing on a show meant to be politically incorrect…I think race genocide to be something to be concerned about, or race based crime. Dont come back Harry. Any US people who know Australians know we hear from them ‘Why are there no blacks here?. Should we be offended? Black here is Maori, aboriginal, Tongan, Fijian, Vanuatu, Torres straight Islander, Africans, Maldives, Samoan etc. Its NOT African American. Those women form ‘The View: check out footage in the 70s of an aboriginal guy rowing a boat to an English shore and claiming England on behalf of all aboriginal Australians. Those women might want to read the ‘Australia now before blaming us for the English. Anyone that commits genocide for oil has no right to point the finger. Meanwhile the Bill Clinton took a good look at our multicultural policies as an example of what works...it does. We feel sorry for US after 9/11 then get reminders that they only care about themselves and how they see the world. Does anyone think its fair that US blames others for their own race problems when overseas? Does he feel offended we send up Bin Laden also? Please leave
Answer: I agree with you completely, Osama Bin Ladin, WMDs in Iraq and everything else was just an excuse to steal oil from other nations.

Answer: Well I certainly dont think its fair of the US authorities to blame a certain race/group/religion for all their miseries. Its easier to blame to take responsibility.

Are Maoris people of Austronesian ethnicity?
what do you think?
Answer: The correct answer is no. The Maori and the Australian native have nothing in common. The Thor Heyerdahl theory of the Polynesians coming from South America has been discredited. Recent research into languages, backed up by DNA testing, now suggests that Korea was probably the jumping off point for Pacific Ocean dwellers excluding Melanesia and Micronesia. Have you wondered why the Maori people can pick up the languages of Korea and Japan readily? Australians probably migrated through the Indonesian Archipelago and Java. Driver T added: Mareeclara is not wrong. One of the books I have studied on this subject is "The Seven Daughters Of Eve." Very readable, and easy to follow. I also admit to not having heard the term Austronesian before. Did you make it up? DrT
