Well yes, its us Asians. Gook is a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War), though now used for all Asians. I found this in an article by columnist Nikhat Kazmi, "The gooks shall inherit the earth." In the article she gives a few statistics on how the Asians are rapidly turning out to be the determining factors in the world economic, cultural and society scene. Of course, though not so lightly as illustrated by her, India has created 300,000 jobs in the US, according to our Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma. Here is some gobi manchurian for the Americans to munch on before they open their mouth to say Indians lessened their job opportunities.Sharma also said that 'Indian foreign direct investment in the US is more than America's FDI in India.' Isn't it something to dwell on? I guess it's time for the Americans to think on the brighter side of the third world countries and their 'dirty people.'
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
