Wow, ignorant.
Go lookup "Canon" and where their cameras are made, then, do some research on how much less digital cameras cost than they do here in north america, THEN, compare the cost of a digital camera, to an analog, and just think how easy it is for an asian to get a camera, of any kind.

Naw, this isnt a stereotype either, now is it? |

because it's a false stereotype intended to belittle the photographing abilities of the Asian people. |

I'd really like to see this guys statistical data from Sony, Kodak, Canon, Olympus, Nikon, and any other major camera or film maker for the Asian countries so he can back up that claim.
Making false statements to validate your stance on an issue is as laughable as the photos in this thread. |

Sorry kamil, but that was kind of ignorant.
there is over 2.5 billion asians. most of them EXTREMELY poor.
i bet 85%+ dont own a camera.
quit thinking everyone lives like you live. I see how these people live everyday. youd be shocked.
otherwise great thread! |

That's racist.. asians take more than just GREAT photos
they take GREAT s
they take GREAT pride in their delicious food
they take GREAT efforts to develop technology
the list goes on and on

Here's a great photo - not sure which race took it, but it's probably safer for me that way :)

Pure conjecture, don't assume anything without first researching it first.
By the way the poverty level in China is 29 million, or roughly 3.1%. |

have u ever stopped to think about where the facts and fugyres of a poverty line are dervied?
India claims it has the biggest middle class, yet youd find if u came here, this so called middle class is poor.
You dont even understand what the meaning of poor is and poverty lines.
its all facts and figures to you.
i bet youve barely left texas. maybe mexico a couple times, who knows,
but i guarantee you, the poverty i have seen in asia would far suprass anything you could believe.
And also, on a side note, you really think that figure means anything? statistics like that are altered and tweaked all the time, i mean , the chinese government isnt exactly liberal in our sense of the word. please. travel, see the world, then talk to me, i have no time for the culturally uneducated. |
