Vietnam, like Japan, have very few aboriginal terms for abstract ideas. Highly professional Japanese articles are usually somewhat quite readable for most Chinese due to high amount of Chinese vocabularies.

Why so? Because the average English standard of Malaysians are high enough to cater to international expats. And this is why Malaysia is ahead of most other ASEAN countries. We are truly blessed with inheriting the British Westminster style democracy, English literacy (unfortunately now dwindling), and the British legal system. There are ways to promote and develop the Malay language, just not by destroying our British heritage.

Asians met our hierarchy of needs? The ancestors of many Asian Americans literally worked like slaves when they first came to USA (reminder: Chinese Exclusion Act, Pacific Railway coolies, Japanese Internment Camps).

Affirmative Action is not levelling the playing ground, it's just crippling abled individuals born to the wrong race.

Do people who believe in man-made climate change tend to deny the subjectivity or universality of standardized IQ tests?

Do people who believe in man-made climate change tend to support affirmative action for "disadvantaged" ethnic groups?
