This lacks some information as the majority in the world is build by
Africans+African-Americans. That´s what I´ve heard. Maybe this was in
relation to Chinese, not Asian.

The other points look interesting.

About the one with a computer: "Owning" an computer isn´t the

and modern washing-mashines, too.
