I removed the claim that the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase mutation leads to higher alcoholism rates in native americans. It is directly contradicted by the reference given (which states that native americans don't havmake sense: if you immediately puke everytime you drink, obviously you won't become an alcoholic.
The higher alcohlism rates in native americans probably has something to do with alcohol dehydrogenae mutations. AxelBoldt 20:12 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
"Some persons from far-Eastern descent" is PC terminology that only makes sense in the context of talking about members of American society. It is absurd to talk about "persons from far-Eastern descent" for someone in the Far East who always has and still is living there. How about some terminology that is more international and less America-centric?
