If you will note my response, I didn't rip on your guy that badly at all. Well - apart from the obvious typo or poor grasp of geography.
Oh - there are two places that the beter off Balinese go to get an education (and the numbers are extremely minor indeed) - one is Singapore and the other is my state of Western Australia - the closest contact that that Island has to western civilisation. You did note that the Balinese are a people and not a nationality did you? The Balinese people are Indonesian. Do you import students from a country like Niger or say Mali, or an island like say Bali or Tasmania?
The native Balinese are light brown in colouring, with suntans resembling the California beach culture. There are no native Balinese that could be considered black.
The natives of Mali however .......  .

Davros Im sorry really...I guess I didn't word my response well at all..I was notin any way saying that you ripped him or that you were being...a "butt pain" about the issue. [img]smile.gif[/img] I was trying to explain why I bothered trying to defend what could have been a simple typo more than anything else [img]smile.gif[/img] I just guess I was being too weird to communicate properly...really sorry for the misunderstanding. Im not familiar with Mali at all by the way [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: just for the sake of argument however, the people being imported from mali or bali do not necessarily HAVE to be natives...just residents of. The real point of the issue is that the quota's set in place were supposed to be there to repair damages done to descendants of american slavery......so filling the ranks from overseas sort of cheats the intent.
