Why are rich Asian countries not expected to be politically correct?
The UK, US, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, etc, are all absolutely full of immigrants, and in the case of the UK and the Netherlands completely over-populated. To suggest that immigration needs to be more controlled leaves you open to all sorts of accusations of being a racist or a bigot in rich white countries. On the other hand, rich Asian countries like Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and perhaps Malaysia have notoriously tough immigration policies, it's nowhere as easy to immigrate to those countries as it is rich white countries. The governments only want highly educated, already wealthy immigrants. You get absolutely no hand-outs in those countries and to get citizenship is ridiculously difficult, in the case of Japan in most cases you have to be part Japanese to stand a chance. Japan takes a few low-paid Filipino nurses but they almost always go home after a few years when their visa runs out, they never get permanent residence. Yet no one calls these countries racist or bigoted for this? If rich white countries treated immigrants like this we'd be called racist and selfish, yet the world leaves these countries free to treat people how they like. In those countries you can't be considered a part of that country unless you are racially from that country, in the West that is considered an extremely racist attitude. The Japanese and Chinese were colonialists too so don't pull that crap.

i dont think some people even know what the word racist means
2 :
Because political correctness is a very American syndrome, like the McCarthy Inquisition and so forth. Racism has nothing to do with immigration. Unqualified workers do not contribute in an industrialized nation like a skilled worker does, instead has a tendency of ending up as a burden on society. That's why.
3 :
There are 33 people per square km in U.S. And there are 6361 people per square km in HongKong. Which should be called "over-populated" ?
4 :
Because Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan already have natives. The Cantonese, Japanese and Chinese/Taiwanese people already inhabit those countries. Europe could impose tough immigration policies, but because they had colonized almost the entire world, they are forced to open their borders to people who immigrate from their former colonies to Europe. So countries like the UK and France who had colonies in America, Africa and Asia have a moral obligation to allow people from these countries to reside in the UK and France. It's their fault for colonizing the entire world, now it's their responsibility to cater for foreigners who used to live in their colonies. The only real natives of the US are American Indians. Everybody else is a foreigner. The US therefore has an obligation to allow immigrants, because unless you're an American Indian, you are technically a foreigner. The US does not belong to white people. They can't just shut off the continent from people of other races. The same applies to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. ------------------------------ Yes, Japan and China were colonists but did they colonize Africa? South America? Europe? When Japan occupied the Philippines in WWII, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos flocked to Japan and there is a substantial population of Filipinos in Japan to this day The Muslim state of Xinjiang and the Buddhist state of Tibet belong to China, as a result, the Chinese also have millions of Muslims and Tibetans in their country. Japan and China are not as homogenous as you think they are. Furthermore, Europe colonized North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Therefore you would expect much much more multiculturalism in Europe compared to Japan or China Here's a perfect example for you How many African countries speak Chinese or Japanese? None. How many African countries speak French, English, Portuguese, Spanish? A lot. Where will many of these Africans therefore immigrate to if they wanted to leave Africa? France, UK, Portugal, Spain etc etc That's the price Europe paid for colonizing
5 :
Those countries still have a sense of ethnic loyalty to themselves. They want to preserve their national culture and ethnic heritage much like the U.S.A. did before the disastrous 1965 Immigration Reform Bill. Also it helps that their governments are not filled with elements that don't consider themselves Japanese but rather a distinct ethnic group that would feel safer living in a multicultural Japan, China, Singapore, etc. Thus they can resist multicultural American propaganda.

How much would an animator earn in Malaysia and/or Singapore
How much would an animator earn in Malaysia and/or Singapore?
Kay... it's like this. I'm a M'sian and I LUV luv luv luv LUV animation (2D & 3D)! I absolutely adore it! It's my passion and it's what I want to pursue in the future. My dream... like many other aspiring animators is to work in Pixar and Disney.... But of course I'm taking it one step at a time. So now... I'm preparing to go to college and I know what I want to take right? But the problem is that some of my relatives think that animation is not a suitable course because it doesn't make that much money.... and that animation is for school dropouts who have not much option left. They want me to take a broader subject like computer science, I.T., nursing, or multimedia cuz I will have more job opportunities and be safer money-wise. I know it's totally ridiculous(though I didn't tell them that, of course)... cause animators DO make good money and it's not some trivial-last-resort kind of job either..... it's hard work. Besides.... I'm not doing it for the money, I'm doing it because I LUV it... But they mean well, and I'm grateful for them. However, they did make one good point... that is M'sia does not have much job opportunities for animators as other countries such as Korea, and the U.S... M'sia is just beginning to discover the potential of animation. It will take years before they become (if they becum) an 'animation hub of the world.' So if I become an animator here after graduating I might just end up designing or animating web pages for various companies. If I want to find real work I have to go overseas which my parents can't afford. So I guess my question should be, "Can a Malaysian make a living being an animator in his own country?" I don't want to end up having to do some small job... I want to create characters, I want to put colors into new ideas, I want to make my stories come to life and share them with everyone! But I can't just follow my dreams and not get a single cent... because I have to help my other siblings fulfill their ambition too. Are my relatives right? Should I take a broader course just to be safe or should I put all my effort and passion into specializing in animation? Are there any M'sian animators reading this? HOW MUCH ARE YOU EARNING? Give me some proof that I can show my relatives that I can make a living being an animator in my own country. Help me pls. If I have no choice but to go overseas, Singapore is my best option. I heard that they have a universal studio over there. How much would I make in Singapore then? anyone?

Traveling to Malaysia, will I need to vaccinate baby
Traveling to Malaysia, will I need to vaccinate baby?
Hi, was wondering if anyone has any advice about infant vaccinations or can let me know where I need to go to get advice. We will be traveling to Malaysia with our 3 month old baby for 10 days visiting KL and Lankowi in April. How young can babies be vaccinated and what vaccines should she have if any? She is fully breast fed. We are not bothering with any vaccines ourselves unless it is important? Unfortunately I live in a remote area in Australia and the GP's here are hopeless, I can guarantee they will not have the information I need that is why I am asking, in fact the child health nurse I just spoke to had no idea and told me to ring around health organisations etc. If it turns out I do need to vaccinate her I will be traveling to the city (2.5 hour plane ride) to get it done. Hi to avoid confusion especially with ppl from the US our baby has had ALL the standard vaccinations required here in Australia, its called immunisation here. I am talking about additional vaccines not normally given here ie: yellow fever, malaria etc.

Google the CDC (Center for Disease Control), they will know what vaccines are appropriate. I would say yes because of yellow fever.
3 :
I do not think that just because you are going to Malaysia you should get certain vaccines. Your daughter should be vaccinated regardless of location. Here is a vaccination schedule for the United States for children 0-6 years. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2009/09_0-6yrs_schedule_pr.pdf I would say keep her skin covered and avoid bugs and be extremely careful with her, and kids grow up fine in Malaysia so I hope that your trip goes swimmingly.
4 :
YES ! I had to travel a lot with my little girl now 4 and everytime she would have to take prevention medication and sometimes vaccines. The airplane itself is full of germ. Dont forget to take your regular baby motrin and tylenol and some medication you would use if you were here. Other countries you dont always get the original brand and sometimes expired dates too on medicine. Hold your babies ears at take of time in the plane Good luck and Enjoy your trip
5 :
http://www.traveldoctor.com.au/ I wouldn't vaccinate myself in KL or Lankowi but it doesn't hurt to ask the question about a 3 month old. To be honest it is reasonably sanitised in KL and Lankowi these days these places are not the backwaters of asia. Give these guys a call, they can give better advise (you don't have to take it after all they are in the business of making money) than anyone on here, you may not be able to travel to the city but they may be able to tell you what to tell your local GP.

Co sleepers, how can I get my 6 month old to fall asleep in his crib without nursing to sleep
Co sleepers, how can I get my 6 month old to fall asleep in his crib without nursing to sleep?
My son had pretty bad jaundice and tracheal malaysia which caused him to gasp for breath every now and again. I have also had a difficult healing process including uterine infection, hemorrhage, and mastitis as a result of all this I chose to co sleep with my baby, he often nursed to sleep and now I cannot get him to sleep unless I nurse him and usually once I get out of bed he wakes up! I am returning to medical school in the fall and he will be in daycare so I need him to learn to sleep on his own. I still want to breastfeed and I dont mind if he wakes in the middle of the night to eat as long as he goes back to bed. The cry it out methods have said not to feed him at night but really I dont mind.

well. really i just let my baby cry it out the dr said let them scream but for no longer than 15 minutes. so every fifteen minutes i went in, pput my hand on her tummy, told her it was oky, and gave her a binkie next night, fell asleep in crib with no porblem
2 :
my son started sleeping all through the night at 2 months and what i would do just put him down and stay with him for a bit and rub his tummy, then slowly walk away little by little make sure he can still see you, then walk away out of the room and let him cry for a bit, dont worry they'll be fine...you can check on him every now and then just dont let him see you. And he'll be skeeping alone in no time. Good luck
3 :
stick to a consistent bedtime routine with bedtime. feed the babe a nice meal and breastfeed him. put him in his crib, turn on the nightlight & sound soother, give him a book, and close the door. he will learn to self soothe. try a pacifier if your child is more oral -it helps.
4 :
i breastfeed and also co slept with my daughter, shes almost 9 months and still needs to nurse to fall asleep, its a habit i guess, lol..but i dont mind,( she wont take pacifiers) i do put her in her crib now, so she does sleep in there for half of the night, but the other half she sleeps with me, just as soon as you are done feeding her, just lay her gently in her crib, until her next feeding and do it again, it will get easier...my daughter never stays up when she wants her middle of the night feeding, we got her on a scheduale when she was 2 months old, =] good luck and dont give up
