So he is Kazakhstani because of the nationality but he's part of the Russian minority there, right?
Yep.

Only "minority" is quite a diffused term here, seeing how kazakhs once themselves were just a 30% of the population in their own country.

I mean that there are no overwhelming majority of any ethnic group like 1:10 or something.

So let me get this right, Vino is Kazakhstani, and Assan Bazayev would be Kazakh?

Yeah i'm a bit familiar with central Asian countries and their demographic composition. But nonetheless, Kazakh are still the majority without being the absolute majority.
Because I've noticed that most of the pro cyclists from Kazakhstan are of Russian origins and might not be a representative sample of the population based on the ethnic distribution.

This is a disturbing thread.

Not only are Asians as fast as me but they can drop me while doing calculus and Kung Fu my rear at the same time. My Illegal Hispanic buddy speaks excelent English but in the break the other day I asked him to do a little work on the front and he told me "no hablo ingles" then dropped me thinking I meant front yard. My Native American riding partner used to be fit but he gambled his bike away. I ride with a few African American Men and they say their bib shorts never fit or have enough chamois but they are fast nonetheless. I am white and can't jump and have no rhythm riding with my iPod but still fast.

LOL!! Thanks

I don't see where it specifies that in the thread title.

Again, the title was created by an Australian and in Australia the word "Asian" is used to refer to East Asian and SE Asians. And since he was riding in the Phillippines and Thailand at the time of posting I think we can safely presume he wasn't talking about Kazahkstan or Uzbekistan.

Eeeekh. Wrong.

Ok, you can't answer that simple question, how i am supposed to trust your deductions in other areas?

Tut tut ;)

Well kind of. Being part of the group that suffered not one, but two genocides with fatalities rate over 70% each time does that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivization_in_the_Soviet_Union#Central_Asia_and_Kazakhstan

That's about the most recent genocide, apparently nobody gives flying fig about earlier decimation that happened in 17th century because you can't criticize current government for it and look like a freedom fighter in the eyes of the westerners for it.

And it's not that i feel the urge to show and "boast" about those things on every internet forums i frequent.

If you didn't tried to play all "white knight, defendor of the mocked" with me, i wouldn't have done it at all.

Noone cares about off-topicness here.

It was and is an extremely stupid place where people come to troll around general morons (see: OP) and hypocrites.

Well at least i do. :cool:

I did not ask you about some other people thoughts, and yours editor in chief preferences. My question was very specific.

Cheers!
