[laughter] gregg: i will do my best. latin america, china was very interested in latin america, but it was not -- i tried to focus my book not just on where china was interested in or where it carried out initiatives but where the u.s. also saw china as a threat. so it -- they both, so it was only in areas where there was competition that i focused on. and i do not think there was really competition between the u.s. and china in latin america, at least during the time i was talking about. the u.s. was much more concerned about fidel castro and the extent the soviets in latin america. the example about namibia, this issue about china bringing its own labor, i think that is something that has become more and more of a problem in contemporary chinese projects than it was in the 60's. i

uc berkeley, 41% of the population are asians. 50% of asians in this country who are 25 years and older have bachelor degrees or higher levels of education. this is compared with 28% for all americans, 25 and older. as i already said, they only represent 5% of the population, right? number of businesses owned by asian americans, 1.1 million. up 24% since 1997. at that rate, it was about twice that of the national averages and of course, asians are known for their technology. right? here we go. the net. 73% of all asians living in a household with the internet, the highest rate among race or ethnic groups. as of 2007. it's true, these are the asian stereotypes. we are "out-whiting the whites." but as nerds and overachievers, there's another problem. they say we lack is go premise -- physicalfor it prowess and make up for it with our intelligence. apparently being academic or you are strong, physical. david eng and frank chen argue this is just another step in the long process of identifying asian american men in particular as the emasculated sissy. you can juxtapose this idea with the vi
