So if Chinese=Asians then does Asians=Chinese I not that is not true but how can this be justified!? And Im not trying to pick on asians and chinese it is just an exampleWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Back to logic 101 Lad!. Chinese do -not- equal Asians!. Chinese are a subset of Asians and the reflexive property then states that the set of all Asians includes Chinese as a subset!. HTH, DougWww@QuestionHome@Com No!. Arabs are western Asians, of Semitic descent, or of Hamitic descent!. Turks are Mongolian!. Persians are Aryans, who BTW are Asian, not German!. And not all Chinese are Asians, either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Nope!. mathematically speaking, B (chinese) does NOT = X (asians), because X (all asians) = B (chinese) + C (the sum of all other population groups from asian countries)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
