I was under the impression Ascian's would be more like the descendents of North America, but I hate bringing up interview points against the text.  Gene said something about how people were equating Ascian's with asians and denied it, but you have to take that kind of stuff with a grain of salt, you know how PR is.  Heh heh.  Are Ascians ever described that way? (not that I think it affects your ultimate point here at all)
