You are filipino now 😂

Welcome to the Filipino delegation!

Once a random guy aproached me speaking filipino, I was like 😅

Filipinos are also mixed race back then during 15th century there was a Galleon Trade of Mexico to Philippines for trading Purposes so in the Philippines you can heard those Mexican surname but they are Filipinos

@@Winters777 Filipinos are not a mixed race. This is a common misconception, since the Filipino culture itself is heavily influenced by other nations. I.E. Spanish last names from conversion to Catholicism. Ethnically Filipinos are Asian Austronesian which is the same peoples of Native Taiwan. The largest admixture of Filipino people is Sinitic(Chinese) with as much as 40% of Filipinos have Chinese ancestry, only about 2% have Spanish ancestry.

I was told by a Vietnamese if I was Philipino or Laotian. I had a wy girl lose her shi* when she heard me speaking Spanish, she thought I was Hmong I was told by many Chiuauans, Regio(monterrey) if I was Burmese or Navajo. I met a Korean girl that said I reminded her of her Korean cousin, when I met her brother, he reminded me of my uncle. When I went to Mexico City(hometwon) and told my friends that the Nortenos thought I was asian, they laughed their tail off. They were like.. have they never met a Mexican from Mexico City before? Plot Tiwst , i later did DNA test, 12% Japanese, 2% Koreanic 3% Khazak Altaic. No pinay at all , but 80% Haplogroup Q between Otomi and Mixtec. Otomi descend from Tibet and also related to Jomon and Ryukun/Okinawan Japanese. Also the 12% came from TULA , Tula is where the Toltecs were from. Toltecs had highest concetration of dna related to Jomon. My grandmas town was known as like a China town pueblo.

That’s so cool! Philippines was a colony of Spain...and Spaniards actually bought Filipinos to the USA and Mexico since they were really good sea farers...

Filipino is not an ethnicity. Just like “Mexican” is not an ethnicity. The original inhabitants of Philippines are of Malay ancestry. Most modern day Filipinos are ethnically Chinese, with som admixture of other East Asians, South Asian, and Micronesian. Mexicans who have Asian ancestry are Amerindian, who can trace their ancestral roots to the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas who arrived to Central and South America from Polynesia and Micronesia.

mexico and the philippines were part of new spain! interestingly, filipinos have their own versions of empanadas, tamales, chocoflan, etc.

@@OniMishima I wouldn't say that most Filipinos are ethnically Chinese. Loads of people have part Chinese ancestry but not everyone. Certainly not the majority of people.

You obviously don’t understand the history of food...during colonial days and how fruits, vegetables, chili peppers n such travels. What is Vietnamese food today compare to 1k years ago? Same with Mexican/indigenous food. The food are not the same as 1k years ago. From Alaska to South America, there were no pigs, chicken rice, citrus, etc. same with the rest of the world who doesn’t have corn, chili peppers and so on from the Americas.

Vietnamese and Mexicans use similar ingredients like cilantro & lime

@@mia6470 I'm Filipino American and I can agree with you there... Generally Mexicans don't look East Asian unless they have recent mixing from Asian Mexicans (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) from Baja California or Mexico City. Native Americans are thought to be a mix of ancient ppls from East and West Asia coming in separate waves through the Bering land bridge, so they have a pretty unique look. Though I would never mistake a Mexican as an East Asian, I taught English in Japan, and I have seen some Japanese that look eerily SE Asian... but that's probably due to more Jomon admixture ahah

But the Spanish also loved to mix and match people all over their colonies. Transporting people back and forth.

@@andresc5915 Filipinos are not "technically" Hispanic. And not conquered either, rather colonized until National heroic Filipinos who fought for the independence of the country to fight back for the land and of the people. Yes there is strong history with Philippines and Spanish but despite all of that Filipinos prevailed to fight back for their land. And just like the other comment, there are islands and tribes that still exist which speak more majority now than what history has done. Philippines is in Asia. The people are Asian. There is no technicality.

Indigenous people who settled the Americas and make up your ancestral background came over from Asia on the land bridge 16,000 years ago. We share a common ancestor with Asians. That's why you look Asian.

Like what Karen said, the Manila-Acapulco trade route brought the exchange of goods and people. My great-great-grandfather was an orphan from Mexico brought over to the Philippines, as told to me by my cousin, who was told by our grandmother. So I have 6.25% Mexican blood (father's side). A very few see my 12.5% Chinese blood when they ask if I have it. Off topic, I saw a video of a lady belonging to an indigenous tribe of Taiwan. She has very round eyes and had facial features that looks like a Filipina or Malay.

I was sent to the Philippines for two weeks many years ago ( not long before the volcano blew). I took a walk one day, and out of the jungle came these people (Don't know which ethnic group they came from - Agta, Aeta, Ati, Ata or Batak). They just appeared out of nowhere, and were VERY friendly. They were very small, but VERY warm and welcoming. When I got back to the states I started researching them.

Siberia was a very important spot and meeting point for two migrations that came out of Africa, the West Eurasians (people where Caucasians came from) and East Eurasians (where East Asians came from), Native Americans are a product of the two being 14-40% West Eurasian and two thirds East Eurasian, who knows why humans chose Siberia, likely the weather.

@Katherine Wilson The term "Asian" is a very broad term, if you mean full East Asians came to America, that's inaccurate, it was Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) men with YDNA Q that took East Eurasian women with MTDNA D as war brides and brought them to the Americas. Native Americans are two thirds (at least 60%) East Eurasians, same ancestry as modern East Asians and 14-40% Ancient North Eurasians, so Native Americans were mostly Asiatic/Mongoloid and partially what we would call Caucasoid.

I’ve known people who look the same way, including my child’s father (he is from Chiapas). My family said, “They can’t be Mayan, or they’d be 5 feet tall.” HA! They were wrong. Height can definitely change in one generation. In fact, I can’t believe my family said that. My father is very tall and my mother’s side (even all the men) are quite short. What’s funny is the side with the “short” gene seems to be dominant. I was one of only two cousins who are tall! Because of my dad, I was tall. My children both have tall fathers, but my kids are short. All of my mother’s children, grand nieces and nephews are short.

Filipinos on average do not look like Mexicans. They favor, but you can clearly see they are not the same race. So, as far as them being indistinguishable, that simply isn’t true. Also, Mexicans have far more Spanish blood than Filipinos have. I don’t know why that’s the case, but it obviously is.

Long ago, before the discovery of the Americas, much of Spain was conquered and ruled by Muslims. During the hundreds of years of rule, migrants came to Spain from many parts of the Muslim world (North Africa, Arabia, Persia, etc). Many Spanish immigrants to Mexico likely have the DNA of those Muslim ancestors that came to Spain. Mexicans truly are a mixed bunch lol.

Muslim/middle Easterns ruled Spain for more than 800 years ,that was way before the discovery of South America , alot of Spaniards has middle Eastern blood , those same Spaniards colonized Mexico and Latin America, so there's alot people in Mexico with middle-East blood.

Lebanese?

The Moors conquered Spain and inter bred with the people of Spain long before the Spaniards came to the Americas. So long ago in fact that Spain was able to be conquered and retake their country before going on to conquer the Americas. This is why Spanish has a lot of arabic elements like the use of the words El or Al for example. Spanish and thus Mexican people even have arabic sur names like Ulibarri, Baca, and the suffix "ez" as in martinez and hernandez means "the son of" and was commonly used by moors at the time of the moorish invasion and became part of Spanish sur names. Martinez or "the son of Martin" So yes it is not only possible but quite probable that you and other Mexicans and latin American people share genetic markers with arabic people. Not enough to identify or label one as an arab or middle easterner but certainly enough to have a resemblance. My family is European based Spanish American and my father was often mistaken for being an arab man and one woman from the middle east even asked him to marry her so she could get her green card and not stray from her faith lol he obviously declined. This is a very important part of history, its a shame so many Mexicans have shunned the Spanish side of their history, Mexico as an independant nation is only a couple of centuries old. There is much more history to embrace. It belongs to you.

@Carlos Martínez: Stay safe and healthy during this pandemic my friend.

Your face is a story, a history, of your family, your people, and above all, yourself! Tu rostro es un cuento, una historia, de tu família, de tu raza, y sobre todo, tú misma!

Beautiful

But why don't Native Americans look as Asian as a lot of Mexican Americans?

Beat me to it man.

There were humans in North and South America long before the Bering Land Bridge

Exacto, los indigenas americanos provienen de Asia.

Hubieron 2 corrientes migratorias que poblacion el continente americano: una provenia de Asia y la otra de las islas del Pacifico. Luego llegaron los europeos y los africanos@@CGJUGO80

actually people from the philippines and mexico travelled back and forth for hundreds of years.... remember the galleon trade? some filipino sowed their oaths and the same the other was around

Same! I'm second generation from South Texas. But I've been asked if I'm Philipina, Armenian or Persian... Very interesting.

I'm Filipino/Mexican sometimes I get told I look to Asian or I look to Hispanic 😭 I'm like what is that supposed to mean😃

unlikely...most Asian looks in Latam come from Asian ppl that crossed into the Americans a few thousand years ago

if your family are from oaxaca you’re probably very Native American that’s where you get those features. You can also always take a dna test and find out

Very few filipinos were brought to mexico. It was really hard to seatravel during those times and it would take years. Not many filipinos came here. Recent immigration like japnese, chinese and koreans made a bigger impact on mexican genetic makeup.

probably in the future there will be a complete DNA test to see if U do have Filipino ethnicity... that IS how today ppL get DUEL citizenship etc. due to DNA also....

@@matagringos999 if you're genes are so distant you are not going to get any papers... the real explanation i repeat is that indigenous ppl in Mexico are from long back Asian origin.. thousands of years back

And they should be so excited to learn their heritage. But I understand. It was ingrained in some latinos that the more spanish passing they were the higher in society they could aspire. Colonialism really did a number on us all.

My grandfather was from the Basque Country in Spain. My parents were from Mexico. Once I really asked my mom over and over if I had any American Indian ancestors. Finally she told me Yaqui. They are as it turns out related to Athabaskan, from Alaska, and that is where I live now. When I visited Italy, especially Florence, I was mistaken for a Florentine. I have been mistaken for a great many nationalities, Pakistani, Israeli, Japanese, Greek, and so on.

@@Czarina888777 what you say is true, historically and as well by my life experience, I agree. Good observation.

@@Czarina888777 Yeah, Europeans did EVERYTHING in their power to portray anything and anyone that didn't have European blood or culture as backwards or non-human.

Mexican-Philippine trade

Im from the Philippines...you look like one of my cousins. My lastname is also Bautista😉👍

@@michaelbautista5803 I'm mexican and my last name is Bautista too😳hey cousins

Hi cousin Daisy! Whats funny is Im Asian but my name is American (Michael) my moms lastname is Rubio (which is a Hispanic name) and my dad is Bautista (also Hispanic name). Im pretty much screwed and mixed up 😂🤣😂🤣

Hi cousins! Lol

Do you guys have facebook?

De hecho yo tengo una profesora en Puebla qué tiene orígenes koreanos yo le preguntaba si tenía orígenes asiáticos y me dijo que sí qué curioso

Os afrodescendentes enxergam todos os povos que não são descendentes de europeus como subsaarianos. 😅 Cristiano Ronaldo por ter nascido em português é branco pros Yankees, mas a irmã dele nascida no Brasil é "latina" . O Brasil tem a maior colônia de italianos sendo 80% do norte da bota em compensação os descendentes de italianos dos EUA a maioria são do sul e eles tem a mesma opinião sobre isso. A segunda língua mais falada no Brasil é o alemão e a terceira seria os dialetos italianos e a própria língua italiana.

Yet as a white dude I get y'all browns mixed up and I'm rascist.

@@Solek95 The German and Italian being spoken in Brazil is a more recent occurrence. Think after WW2. I know many White Brazilians with German last names...

As a Puerto Rican from the states people assume I'm from Trinidad or Italy.... Wepa

There are only so many possible phenotypes in humans I guess. Or, it could be thanks to Spaniard heritage. Spain having been under occupation by Berbers, Moors, Arabs, etc. for hundreds of years there has to be some middle eastern DNA in Spaniards

Some of them remember d Mayans? And head hunters of Asia who migrate to America

@jomax clux yh

20,000 years ago the original Native Americans migrated from Asia to the Americas. So of course indigenous people look Asian. It’s in their root DNA! They are a mix of East Asian and Western Asian genes... www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/131120-science-native-american-people-migration-siberia-genetics

Its on the Canadain history book too which new immigrants had to study for citizenship

Basically they came from the middle east. Traveled to russia and settled in Siberia. Then moved to the Americas. The entire Americas was then filled with these people.
