        I just wonder if it is the same in Asia, if they also recognise the African community just like how Kenya has with Asia.......

        The only functional country in Africa, perhaps from what i have seen. The rest are either white projects or black lootocracies

        Kenyan Asians have always been recognized as Kenyans. This was a political gimmick (general elections in two weeks)http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2017/06/05/asians-dont-seek-to-be-44th-tribe_c1571938 …
