No, it's just from TV/pictures/stories etc there are a lot of Asian men, but hardly any Asian women.

IDK, but the last pair of news broadcasters I just saw had a causcasian male paired with an asian female. A newstory I read today featured an asian male. May just be that you limit the number of sources you check, like maybe only watching Jon and Kate? Though they're a hot topic lately.
The thing about a "shared universe" like the ST novels is that they were often written by novice writers and writers not good enough to write original stuff. So the books have very dramatic quality differences. And very different views of canon. Some authors devised their own canon that different from the TV and movies. Some tried to get pretty close. But as the publisher, editors, and ST creators, never worked to keep the books in canon, it was just pretty well ignored. One I remember is a few of the books claimed Warp 10 was a theoretical maximum same as light speed. But all of the series had a ship that exceeded that. One thing is that they wrote so very many books that the time line was completely tossed out the window.

What is the origin of the myth that Muslim martyrs are going to get 72 virgins? The number 72 is what I'm asking about, not the virgins. I'm guessing some American "conservative" talking head made it up and every other talking head picked it up.

I think it has something to do with Gematrian math which has something to do with synchronising numbers to the alphabet as a means of calculation. E.g. like figuring out that the number "666" is code for a word representing a historical figure I guess Islam might have inheirited gematria from the jews. Though histories seem to say that gematria was used more by medieval kabbalists. Anyways, somehow 72 is a convenient sum in it. This might explain it:
Apparently the gematria of the word 'tent' is 72 (or 36), and an alternative word for 'tabernacle'. 36, 72, may have something else to do with a Gematrian wheel (subdividing a wheel into fractions), but IDK.
Because the US has far more people of Oriental and African origin than Asians. Those who are there appear not to have made much of an impact, and are perhaps still quite sexist. It might also be that the Asians are a different type of immigrant, being either poor or else computing nerds.
You do know that Oriental and Asian substantially overlap, right?
You can be Asian without being oriental, but you can't be oriental without being Asian.

Hardly any? I dont really think so. In my experience there are the same amount of both genders.
There were tons of Asians in northern australia when I visited.
So. Many. Asians!
Stop being rasist.

When you have Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa, you don't need any other Asian females.

2 sin 3x sin 2x = cos x − cos 5x
2 sin 3x sin 2x = cos x − cos 5x

You know, I used to love Trig....I used to love it so much that I did my own homework!!!!
But after some non-major physics, I didn't need it any more, which was decades ago.

You could accept them and then leave the group right away. I don't know if there's an ignore or decline option but there probably is one of those too.

Ho hum. I think you need to use some sum identities and double angle identities to help reduce the number of functions, from here: http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/identities.html
EDIT: Actually maybe something like this (product-sum identity) to the right side of the equation: cos s – cos t =
I've done it and it seems to work well with the left side as is.
That depends which language you're using. Salty Mud lives, I think, somewhere in Britain, where Asian means subcontinental.You do know that Oriental and Asian substantially overlap, right?
You're American, where Asian means Oriental and Oriental is often regarded as a derogatory term.
If we were using the word simply, both Indians and Chinese (to take the largest countries of each type) would be Asian, along with a large number of Arabs, Russians and less well-defined [something]-stanis.
Given that there are a lot of Oriental women visible in the US, perhaps he meant Asian rather than Oriental.
