Earlier, I got a nasty email from someone who said "I knew what she meant" referring to haircuts and makeup for Asians. I did not know what she meant because Asia is the largest and most diverse continent:

I don't think you really stated a question but I totally agree with the point that you are trying to make. The Asian continent is very diverse.Heck alot of the stan countries really dont wear any make-up.

Bad news Bubba. If you want to compete effectively, you'll need to do it as a team. Most times not all team members like each other. That's the way of the world. To have a good chance of winning, you'll have to accept 1 of these 2 guys. Remember, they're not going to live with you, they're just going to help you win.

Nope, I always remember that Asia made up more than half the world land mass.

Some people are ignorant. It upsets me too. Asia is a very diverse place.

i know that Asia is the largest continent in the Earth.
i haven't received an e-mail like the one you got. but if i do, then i won't know what she meant also (just like you did)...

why don't you reply her e-mail & ask her what part of Asia that she meant ?
