	Intersections: Deconstructing the Visual: The Diasporic Hybridity of Asian and Eurasian Female Images
		The presence of Eurasian images in fashion representations and their absence from finance representations draw attention to the historical origins, cultural trajectories and ambivalence of meaning associated with 'raced' and sexed representations.
		Eurasian images are located in complex and often contradictory spaces of radical difference and similarity, partial identification and disassociation and desire and domestication.
		In the case of Asian and Eurasian images it is necessary to trace the trajectory of Western racial and sexual imagery across the terrain of the female body.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial
		And the migrations and cultural and racial mixing that have gone on between North and sub- Saharan Africans are not anymore than have gone on between Asians and Europeans.
		The traditional rejection of these identities by the mixed race is as morally justified as the fls' rejection of the word nigger: fl and African-American identities, because these are synonyms for the one-drop rule, are racial slurs.
		The alternative, a roll-call of ancestries, promotes the idea that the separate racial categories are immutable and are preserved intact in a mixed-race person, thus forming the basis of that person's claim to the corresponding heritage and culture.

	Golden, World of the Steppes
		Sedentary society in this Eurasian steppe world was largely confined to the Eastern European forest and forest-steppe zone which, however, steadily encroached on the steppe pasturages and the urban oasis-based societies perched on the southern rim of the steppes.
		When Eurasian nomads found themselves outside of the steppe zone, in particular in the Near and Middle East, where they were forced to re-form and were able, for a time, to practice a more limited nomadism or semi-nomadism, the old terminology continued, but now often masked new realities.
		Those who have two languages and who mix with the populace of the cities have a certain slurring in their utterances....The most elegant is that of the Khaqani kings and those who associate with them.'' The latter was clearly a political criterion.

	Eurasians
		The term "Eurasian" is indeed a vague classification, yet it is in a certain way more appropriate than other historic definitions that are as much or perhaps more vague than this.
		These three branches evolved separately and undoubtedly they mixed with the local population, mainly the Yazygs, living among Thracians acquired a mixed descent from Tiras, and the Roxlans became in a certain way part of the Scythian people, perhaps to be identified with the enigmatic "Royal Scythians".
		The Eurasians that are the subject of this chapter were undoubtedly different from them, even though in origin they have shared the same homeland and were subject to the same empires and along history they often met again, most of times in contrast to each other.

		I interpret that data to mean that most of the ancient Eurasian mtDNA lineages were lost, either during the era of Mt. Toba’s eruption, or by subsequent lineage sorting.
		It is true that a few African populations' lineages have affinities to M and N, and afrocentrists interpret that to mean M and N diverged from the African genome.
		That casts doubt on the afrocentrist assertion that macrohaplogroups M and N are derived from the African mtDNA genome, and tends to corroborate the view advanced in Plural Lineages, that M and N are indigenous to Eurasia.

		With the help of gravity, continents adjacent to mixed plate boundaries that are partly divergent can also literally fall apart.

		In the year 2000, there were around 2.1 million Asian Pacific Americans of mixed heritage, or what today is increasingly being called hapa.”; Originating in Hawai‘i to describe those of mixed white and Hawaiian descent, the term hapa has caught on strongly during the last decade to describe those of part-Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry.
