    Did you ever see the Philippines as a homogenous country or a diverse one? Or are we somewhere in between? 🤔

      I think there must be some mistakes in that Harvard research I looked into it and the data was taken by surveys asking people how they personally classify themselves, I think a flaw would be if the people didn't understand what ethnicity means because we have so many diverse social groups and cultural traditions. also that map is based on a research published in 2002 so the data could be more than 20 plus years old. also another flaw is it just looks at the people inside the country and counts diaspora population as diversity for rich countries that overseas workers live in.

      ​@@Fealnographs1 No worries! I was aware that the data was 20 years old, but it's the most relevant one we can find so far with regards to the topic. I was supposed to place a line in the script saying "However, the data must have changed in the recent years" but it would be too big of a claim without evidence. ☺️ In the end as a Filipino person who's lived in the Philippines and abroad, the video's takeaway of Filipinos being diverse, yet having a big percentage of decendants from Austronesian-speaking migrants was a clear and true enough statement.

      Diversity is differences in racial and ethnic, socioeconomic, geographic, and academic/professional backgrounds. People with different opinions, backgrounds (degrees and social experience), religious beliefs, political beliefs, sexual orientations, heritage, and life experience ---- spain,america,korea,chinese,japanese,india, etc pilipino tend to practice and follow some of those when it comes to religious beliefs, life experience so.. i can say its a diverse

      I'm a Filipino that gets often confused as someone from an east asian country.
      To me, it's diversity depends on its location, just like with any diverse countries. If you look into the more populated areas you will see the different looks but if you go to the provinces (especially on the secluded ones) then you will see a lot more of the native Filipino look.

      South Japanese people have some Austronesian features most likely from the Yayoi tribe from the olden days. 1 subgroup of the Yayoi tribe went south for the warm climate. We’re all related just VERY distant. The region is called East Asia and South East Asia for a reason. Mixing over the years happened and how much of that depends on proximity/trade routes. People just deny because they’re ethnocentric

    For me I think it varies, Filipinoes don't have those distinct features similar to each other that you can directly identify them as Filipinos and they tend to have similar features which can be associated with other race unlike homogenous countries. There are stereotypes but when you meet a lot of them you begin to realize that its more diverse specially with the eyes, skin tone and hair textures, but most Filipinos do have round small faces, I don't if its only me but i notice as well, its Filipino genes to have rounder thighs despite their weight.

    If we are talking purely about physical features, I would say we are diverse. I’m a Filipino who now resides overseas and there are instances that I have mistaken other Filipinos for being from other Asian Country. When I was in the Philippines I have fairer complexion than what it is now but I still considered myself “kayumanggi” back then however, during my college years there were two separate instances but both events happened while I was in the bus. I was asked by both Filipino guys if I’m “Chinese”. My features are way too far at least from majority of Chinese features we know but for some reason I was mistaken for being a Chinese and these happened while in the Philippines.haha

    I’m Filipino and I could easily identify someone who is Filipino. I don’t really think it’s the physical features that give it away but the way we carry ourselves. I could tell by the way someone walks or dresses up. There’s just something in the way we move and there’s something in our demeanor that is very familiar and unique. There’s a level of looseness and nonchalant way about us that makes it obvious in my eyes.

    Asian Islander yes but Okinawans and other islands in Asia can call themselves that too. The Pacific Islander is called Polynesian who are a race of ethnicities like Samoan, Tongan & Hawaiian. FiJI people are more diverse who have Indian blood and there are some influence of them in PH from the Austronesian Minority who came to PH some looking Indian & the only two aborigine Australo-Melanistic are Batak & the Aeta people.

    Gringos don't know shirt! (I'm talking about that diversity map you show). The Philippines has more than 500 years of genetic diversification. From Chinese traders, to Spanish and Native American colonizers (yes many Filipinos have Native American roots too) passing the US occupation, natives have been mixing and intermixing for more than 5 centuries. I'm a brown skin Mexican living in the Philippines and most Filipinos assume I'm Filipino by the way I look and by name. 😂

    To me, the Philippines is racially/genetically homogeneous but ethnically diverse. Race and ethnicity aren't the same. Race is biological while ethnicity is cultural. Racially, Filipinos are homogeneous because as the video pointed out, the overwhelmingly majority (>95%) are of native Austronesian stock and geneticists also agree with it. Ethnically, Filipinos are diverse because there are over hundreds of different dialects spoken throughout the country and there are several ethnic groups in the Philippines. Of course mixed race Filipinos like me do exist but we are very few so that doesn't change the fact that the country's population is homogeneous. Korea and Japan also have mixed race people there but still these two countries are considered homogeneous, same with the Philippines.

    We are diverse. We do not have 1 look. We have over 7100 islands and you think we all look the same?

The depiction of a Filipino in modern mass media is actually racist in such a way.

    • @randomcarrot7970
      @randomcarrot7970 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We aren't very diverse. Most of us came from Austronesian people (who were identified as different Filipino ethnic groups but practically very similar in genetics). Even the Negritos haven't mixed very well with Austronesians and still remain isolated in mountains until now. Many Filipinos also have Chinese ancestry because of the intermarriages that happened even before the Spanish colonization. The rest of the foreign ancestry (like Spanish) are actually pretty low among Filipinos and those only likely happened in places like Manila and Cebu.

    Fun Fact:
    The vast majority of Filipinos today are physically South East Asian and East Asian in physical appearance/ descent with 99% of all Filipinos having zero European blood, according to several scientific research and historic records only 0.5-1% of the Filipino population have small amounts of Spanish blood while Filipinos with Chinese ancestry number around a significant 25% of the Filipino population.
    Around 5,000 years ago, Austronesians began a millennia-long expansion into the Pacific from Taiwan and admixed with other sporadic migrations from the Asian mainland.
    They carried their knowledge of navigation and farming more than halfway around the world. They originated from Southern China and expanded through Taiwan the Philippines and Indonesia all the way to the Pacific
