    I am tempted to say white, but it is probably the wrong answer. As he brought elephants in the battlefield he must have been familiar with them, Persian or Indian? I am kinda curious!

    Can we please have a definition of Asian? As that, depending on the definition, could include anyone from the Dardanelles to Japan...

    Clearly GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Wait for it...

    It's coming...

    It's going to cause an argument...

    But Hannibal was........................

    The guy who got his *** handed to him by Scipio Africanus, who was clearly a higher master of the military arts.

    Ha! There. Said it.

    Pfff. Scipio just got lucky. Besides, he's a roman, which means he sucks.

    Like most Carthaginians he was of Phoenician ancestry, meaning he would have looked similar in many regards to modern day Lebanese people. So, I would go for 'Middle Eastern," but that isn't an option.
