However, some of the mummies which have already been uncovered are still on display in a local museum, while others lie in storerooms slowly deteriorating.

Want pictures?


oh thats right you can tell the race of someone from the mummies! of course! *slap forehead*

Yes, you can.

If you still think race is skin color, you are 1000's of years behind.

Bone structure is preferred by Anthropologists to determine race. Hair is also a great indication.


The first Tocharian Nordic mummy to be found: a White female with long blond hair, finely preserved by the arid desert atmosphere of the Takla Makan desert.



A Tocharian man with red-blond hair; his clear European features still visible after nearly 3,500 years in his desert grave in China.



A Tocharian female mummy with long flaxen blond hair, perfectly preserved in ponytails.  Items of weaved material, identical to Celtic cloth, definitively proved the Indo-European origins of the Tocharians, who not only built the fantastic Silk Road cities which today lie deserted, but who are also credited with bringing Buddhism, horses, the saddle, and iron working to China. Chinese legend maintains that the first Chinese emperors - who brought unity and civilization to China - had fair or blue eyes. This legend can now be confirmed as fact.


One of the most famous Tocharian mummies found, the so-called "Beauty of Loulan"; and right, her face as reconstructed by an artist.



a close-up of a Tocharian male, and right, a swastika decoration found on a clay bowl recovered from the Tocharian grave sites. The swastika was part of the original Indo-European language, meaning "well being" and the fact that the swastika is today widespread in China as a good luck charm is an indication of just how far the Tocharian influence was felt throughout that country.

An asian is someone from Asia. Caucasian, Negro, Mongoloid, the like. We're talking about race, not nationality. The Mongols did little to the USA in its early stages, and not too much later on.
Mongols =/= mongoloid.

Native americans were NOT mongols.


They DID settle. Much evidence suggests that the technology, architecture, art, religion, and writing of the Amerinds had white influence. They just mixed within the mongoloid tribes.
The Mayans and Aztecs were not white. But yes after the spanish invasion whites did mix with amerindians. and the mayans and aztecs did build great civilizations.

It would be racist if they were forced to go to their own special Hawaiian school only.
No they are not. Its just a place where they can maintain their heritage and language.

 Its not like theres a ton of hawaiians with pure hawaiian blood left anyway.


I know and I never said it was. I answered to the question if it's racist and I said: it WOULD be racist if they had the conditions I described... but they're not forced to go to "special" schools so it's not racist.
