From jungle fever to yellow fever, we often see people of all kinds develop a strong attraction towards people of a different ethnicity than their own. What is the logic behind this preference of interracial dating? What are some controversies these interracial couples face? Should we promote interracial dating to contribute to the ideal of the USA as a melting pot, or should we date within our race to keep our Asian culture alive? Is it possible to do both? Come share your thoughts about inter-”asial” dating with us!

Turn off your lights to draw attention to the release of the IPCC’s much awaited latest report on climate change! 7:55 – 8pm.

From a Yahoo! news article:

“By turning off lights and also electrical gadgets that are in stand-by mode, “citizens, the media and decision-makers will get the message about energy waste and the urgent need for action,” the Alliance for the Planet said on Friday.”

The Alliance for the Planet is an umbrella of about 50 green associations, including the local branches of Greenpeace and WWF, and professional organisations connected with the environment.

The UN’s paramount scientific authority on climate change meets in Paris from January 29 to February 1 to hammer out the first volume of a long-awaited report on the state of global warming today.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is widely expected to declare that climate change is already on the march, many years sooner than expected, and the consequences for humans and biodiversity could be dire.”
