Eurasian (mixed ancestry)
I noticed that the editors of this article have worked hard on it. I'm looking for opinions from other Wikipedia editors and readers. Do you think it is fac quality? If not, what can be done to improve its quality? Anything else you might be interested in reading about the Eurasian race, but is not mentioned in the article?

Where it was disputed that Shannon Elsabeth and Paula Abdul were not Eurasian, THIS IS FALSE! Middle easterners ARE Asians as well. Anyone disagreeing this can also exclude people of mixed European and Indian descent. Most Northern Indians are Caucasoid in race and the mixed offspring of them and a European is quite distinct from a mixed white and East Asian. `Asian' in society in the US often refers to East Asian. If you include Indians, you've got to include Middle-Easterners. Paul58.164.88.20 01:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Not really close to FA quality in my view, but here are some suggestions. inline citations.  The word "nowadays" is colloquial, change to "In modern usage," or something similar.  I would add something about the history of the term to the intro, which mentions when the word was first used but without a citation (maybe the Oxford English Dictionary would have a date it was first used?).   I would look at articles about ethnic groups through list of ethnic groups and try to get a feeling for a good structure for this article.  One problem you may have or that should be addressed is that "Eurasian" is a fairly mixed/heterogenous group so I doubt there is much of a "cultural" identity for this ethnic/racial division.
