I think you forgot one of the main reasons that led East Asian countries to be ethnically homogenous. I was waiting for it but never heard it. The reason is geography. The Himalayas to the South, frozen Siberia and the steppes to the North the desserts of China to the West and the vast Pacific ocean to the East. All these circumstances create an isolated area and made immigration difficult especially in the old times. Morever the Eastern parts namely Korea and Japan are mostly harsh mountainous territories and Japan deals with natural disasters like earthquakes and Tsunamis all the time. So if people are cut off for a long time and stay together long enough the will create a common civilisation and ethnicity. It'svery logical
No, just means all the minorities were either butchered or they all now claim to be "Han" even though it is obvious that Southern "Chinese" look nothing like Northern Chinese.
i am a korean. and in an airport in netherland, i was asked in chinese by a chinese woman. i said i don't speak chinese. even east asians themselves can't distinguish each other.
@Fc barca India has Almost 25 Main Languages and 1600 Minor Languages. Some 70% Indians know Atleast 3 Languages out of 25 Main Languages and 1600 Minor Languages. So It's Common Sense that an Indian from South India may not know what a North Indian is Speaking. Same way, an Indian from North India Most Probably won't know what an North-East Indian is Speaking.
It is essentially due to the establishment of highly centralized government in past 2000 years which made us politically homogeneous. And Chinese Characters(rather than spoken language) made us culturely homogeneous.
Exactly. I was missing this constructivist approach to ethnicity here, which I understand is overused in some contexts but definitely applies to China. It is a quite singular phenomenon in the world to have had a continuous polity as the focal point of cultural identification for two millennia.

China isn't as homogeneous as Korea and Japan. There're 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in China. Even the so-called Han Chinese have a lot of variations in terms of languages, phenotypes, traditions, and cuisines.
Wrong, The Han Chinese is very homogenous, regardless of some variations of languages. cuisines, etc. Han Chinese is perhaps the most pure and homogenous nation, even more homogenous than other Asians. In fact, almost all so called "minorities" have some Han Chinese ancestry. And the Koreans , Japanese, other Asian people also have some Han Chinese ancestry as well.

Genetic evidence shows that there were at least three waves of migration from Siberia to the Americas and the Arctic: first today's Native Americans, then the Ancient Eskimos, and finally the modern Inuit.
East asian countries are able to keep their homogeneity because even if there is any kind of diversity, the han (or majority) genetics are so dominant. They also prefer a homogeneous population as well because of social and political reasons.
East Asian countries are not immigrant countries, and their cultural roots are similar. The most important point is that East Asia has not been colonized by other civilizations.
Colonization is not the source of what’s wrong with today. It’s the decision of western governments conducting the greatest act of treachery the world has ever seen

Ethnic Han Chinese comprise 1/3 of the world’s population. Asians are the majority. Why ethnic European majority are inflicted with systemic “diversity” (efforts to reduce the majority) is downright horrific and tantamount to a soft genocide. Imagine if Beijing had an ethnic minority of Han Chinese? Well, London has had its English population reduce to a minority status (among a growing list of other cities). People are cheering the systemic reduction of a European majority to a minority status in the USA. This is disgusting. The ethnic homogeneity of Asian countries promote cultural cohesion and national unity. One can only surmise from these observations that the “diversity” initiatives on the European ethnic majority countries is a deliberate attack to destabilize and weaken them. I’m not white. I have no allegiance to skin colour but I do respect culture and are aware that there are superior and inferior cultures. These ethnic replacement initiatives are also destroying cultures and that negatively affects us minorities living in them as well. Asian countries know this.

You’re also right about England being an ethnically European country (in much the same way China is an ethnically Asian country).
East Asia was not colonized by the West at all. Some western countries did have influence over certain parts of some cities in east asia. All countries colonized by the West were exploited to the bone and they were left very poor by the time colonizers left. Japan, Korea, taiwan, china, Singapore etc are doing well today because of their on efforts and not by western magnanimity. Singapore was a stinky slump when the british were there. You are reciting the history the colonizers want people to hear. Time for you to read the real history from the colonized people.
Fun fact : Taiwan is somewhat multicultural although 95+% of population is Han Chinese beacuse each subgroups of Han Chinese have seperate identity. Mainland immigrants from ROC, Early Han Chinese immigrants, Hakka peoples and Han Chinese from PRC.
Diverse racial composition of Taiwan by self-identification : Hoklo Taiwanese: 67.5% Hakka Taiwanese: 13.6% Mainlander (~1949): 7.1% Aboriginal ( non-Han): 1.4% “Han” is a broad umbrella term that include a lot of diverse and even politically conflicting ethnic groups .
@@GeigemachenHoklo are also immigrants but call themselves Taiwanese and call 1949 immigrants mainlander as if Hoklo themselves dont come from mainland.
@ナノ人 The term now preferred by anglophone anthropologists and geneticists is "Mongolic". "Mongoloid" did not orginally have derogatory implications any more than "Caucasoid" (which from both a geographic and a genetic perspective, is a misnomer as a 'racial' designation) or "Negroid"("Negro" derives from "black"). Racist and derogatory connotations were involved in the use of "Mongoloid" (as in "Mongoloid idiot") and "Mongolism" to refer to Down's Syndrome, where those with this genetically based condition were considered by even early scientific medical practioners to represent retrograde reversions to more primitive, possibly ancestral phenotypes. Joe Biden's recent usage of ''Neanderthal'' in a derogatory context represents a contemporary version of this ignorant perspective. Ironically, genetic analyses have quite consistently confirmed that East Asians tend to higher percentages of 'Neanderthal genes' than Europeans. Yet when was the last time that you noticed a reference to East Asians in a Western MSM article on a certain now very politically incorrect test? These articles focus almost entirely on AVERAGE differences in scores between 'Whites, 'Blacks, and 'Hispanics! TH-cam now censors virtually any reference to this supposedly racist test (except from their uploaders), so you may not even see this! Yet their comment boards are filled with posts from clowns endlessly claiming that "Asians can't innovate, they can only copy, cheat, and steal".
Yes all the african Chinese and Caucasian chinese together with sprinkles of hindu and arabian chinese have melted into modern China. What a great comparison you came up with.
@ナノ人 The Mongolian race is a manifestation of the prejudice of Western civilization against East Asian civilization. As far as the current evidence is concerned, East Asians did not originate in Mongolia.
@ナノ人 Naming a race should be named after the place where the race first appeared. Westerners named East Asians after the Mongols Race just because the Mongols had brought them terrible memories.
It could also be because northeast Asia goes through periods of being mostly depopulated whenever the Earth goes through colder climate cycles. When it warms up again, the population grows from a small genetic pool. The warmer regions stay populated consistently throughout the ages, so their genetic diversity remains high.

I agree that Korea, my country is ethnically homogenous but to my knowledge, China consists of 56 different ethnic groups. Isn't it very heterogenous? Also Japan has several different ethnic groups by colonizing Ryukyu kingdom (current Okinawa) and assimilated Ainu living in Hokkaido. So...I guess you mean racial homogeneity rather than ethnic homogeneity of east asian countries.
Paul most of china’s 56 ethnicity still look much alike. Mongols and han Chinese may look different, but the phenotypical differences may not be seen by non asians.

The genetic study that people from the Indochina Peninsula migrated to the Korean Peninsula or Japan is an anthropology that happened about over 20,000 years ago. This is not history. History is the tale of how the people in the area make a country and form a national identity. It is the story of a record remaining as a documentary or historical relic within the last 5000 years. The identity of Korea is originated by the rise and fall of the ancient kingdom located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. German identity, for example, is determined not by the anthropological genetics but by the history of Germany.
Yeah a bunch of assholes are blaming the lack of diversity in East Asia on the Jews. Well the Jews of Europe were mostly killed and the ones that remained are leaving now. The influx of immigrants from the ME and Africa are partly due to the destabilization of those countries by the colonial powers. And if they were closer to asia, then they would probably go there. One final point, China is homogeneous as this video shows, but it’s full of corruption causing millions of deaths earlier and even now the government restricts their internet and watches them constantly. It’s the Jews fault for that too?
I would way more prefer being in diverse America than in the Asian countries. Our life is just far better here. I've lived over there. No thanks and no disrespect, but yeah.... I'll gladly take diversity.
East Asian nations are based on culture rather than blood. 2000 years ago, the Han Chinese was identified by the words(Chinese text instead of languages), clothing, values, etc. Any other nation could become Han Chinese if they have the same culture. The Han Chinese also absorbed the cultures, costumes and lineages from other nationalities.
Yes, this is especially true for Turkic people who are a perfect example of it. They originated in East Asia and migrated further west up to Anatolia. They absorbed a large portion of different ethnicities but they never gave up their culture and language. Thats why you can see the Turkish language today in Turkey, while the people all look very different from eachother. Culture and Language is what defines Asian nations and not blood.
They are Han Chinese because Qin Shi Huang destroyed all kingdoms kill all ethnicities , destroy all culture , books , histories before him , what is left after him was a people with no past , no history , no cultures that eventually develop into the Han cultures .
@@tomviktorsson5052 I am afraid your comment is very well untrue, Qin Shi Huang did not destroy all the books or culture or history before him, there were tons of the Chinese classic literature and historic documents that survived through the Qin dynasty due to its very short life, and the Han people though called ourselves Han, but it is actually a very mixed up ethnic group since there were many nomad invaders in the long history of China, we had 五胡乱华 five groups of barbarians screwed up China, South-North Sui Tang Dynastic, they were Xianbei or Siberian ppl ruling over China, then Yuan the Mongolian and Qing the Jurchen people occupied China, they all largely mixed up with the local Han people except for the Mongolians since Mongolian didn't embrace Han's culture or the political system like the other nomads did, they eventually being pushed back to their land of origin.
the 'Han peoples' really started as a slur in the Northern Dynasty. Otherwise where did you think the term “一条汉子” comes from? Does that sound like language used to describe a human? It was gradually adopted to be a name for Chinese people of the Confucian influence during Song dynasty. During Tang dynasty everybody called themselves Tang peoples.
Yeah the reason is literally just “East Asians aren’t being culturally shamed into accepting hordes of migrants” Many European nations are still above 98% white, and many countries with 75-80% white populations were above 98% white a decade ago. Even America was at that point 40 years ago. There’s nothing more to it than propaganda.
To East Asians, Europe looks monolithic. If you're an East Asian, you know that Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Mongolians are not a completely homogeneous race. Of course, there are some shared looks that you can't tell which country they are from.
The ethnic homogeneity is exaggerated. People in Japan are not all genetically homogeneous, being descented from both Jomon, Yayoi, and later Korean immigrants. Culturally- Japan actually has minority languages, such as the various Ryukyuan languages, which are not merely dialects of Japanese. I would argue the Confucian cultural background creates strong pressure to have the perception, if not implementation, of a dominant culture.
oh boy i sure do love masaman's great neutral videos about genetics and ethnicity! i hope the discussion in the comments will be just as objective and respectful as the video! also my 2 cents on the subject is that like what rareearth said, they only seem homogeneous these days because they heavily integrated many foreign concepts into their own cultures, if you want a good example just look at the foods in japan.
The Japanese are not homogeneous, they are a mix of the original Jomon (very close to Austronesian) and East Asian mainlanders. Koreans are not homogeneous either, they have different ethnic groups such as Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan.
@@gunsroses1293 they are homogenous in the sense that the people u mentioned have been there for thousands of years. In any case they are super closely related to each other anyways. And the homogenous part is a relative to the population of non-East Asians such as Europeans, Africans, etc...
@@gunsroses1293Chinese are even more diverse with Turkic, Han, Mongolian, Tungisic, and SE Asiatic tribes within. Honestly, Han shouldnt be considered a ethnicity, just like a term to consider agrarian East Asian Mainlanders in China proper lol.
Look at Japan. They have 1/26th the landmass of the United States while having a 3rd of its population. It's gotta be jam-packed over there. They're not in any position to accept more people because they barely have any more space left. Sacrificing natural uninhabited land is not an option because those provide the habitats necessary to have a balanced ecosystem that feeds the populous.
Same thing with Europe. It's densely populated, narrow, crowded. But recently, they have a declining birthrate soooo...lez juz say they are trying solutions. The Americas is a unique thing bec there's space for everyone. It's the only place I can see racial diversity to work, if people learned to respect each other of course.
This is the only comment thread i have seen so far that is thoughtful about each country’s unique circumstances and situations instead of one shouting “homogeny bad or diversity bad”
So is China pursuing a policy of Ethnic Nationalism? Seems like a dumb question but with what I’ve been hearing in the East and Manchuria, I wonder if that is the goal of Beijing.
It's basically just doing what it's done for Millenia, slowly assimilating surrounding cultures into its genetic and cultural sphere. That's why there are so many "Han" people today. Most of them came from assimilated tribes who intermarried into the original Han, which was a tribal confederation in the first place.
These Han for centuries have slowly ethnically and culturally assimilated every group that they come across. It’s why China is overwhelmingly of Han ancestry. They’re currently in the process of doing the same thing with Tibet, Manchuria, and Xi Xiang. If nothing is done, Tibetans, Uighurs, and Manchurians will all just become Han.
@@preoximerias7366 This is only true for Xinjiang. Tibetans cannot be assimilated while the Manchus already were assimilated but the government decided to declare a group of people with Manchu ancestry (and sometimes without) as Manchu. The Manchus in China today consider themselves that, but the Han of the north and the Manchu had already assimilated into each other, so there is barely any distinction.
@@preoximerias7366 I think the hardest is for Uyghur. Uyghurs are genetically diverse and some of them have Caucasian genetic. Which is very different from Han. Even, Tibetans and Manchus are still far closer to Han compared to Uyghur

I would think you make some misconception here, you were talking on geographic East Asia and even claim Vietnamese to be "South East Asian" while talking about ethnic, but in fact, Vietnamese, ethnically, are East Asian. We are culturally even more closer to China, Japan and Korean than Mongolian. Vietnam, is part of the Sinosphere, which is a cultural sphere that got influences from China, culturally; which included China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Genetically, Vietnamese also have a significantly close to Southern Han Chinese and not so far from Japanese or Korean (but distant from Mongolians). Mongolian, in the other hand, are closer to Siberian and people from Central Asian, they have a significantly similar culture of nomad and genetically related. So I'd say, you should have included Vietnamese in this instead and maybe exclude Mongolians

Qin Shihuang unified China as early as two thousand years ago. For two thousand years, all ethnic groups have mixed with each other. Originally, Han was a multi-ethnic fusion. What's more, ancient China paid more attention to cultural distinctions rather than ethnic distinctions like Westerners.

During the Qing dynasty of china, the ruling manchurian clan 'aisin gioro' was wary of the eastward expansion of the Russian empire as soon as the russian conquered the sibir khanate in what is now Siberia hence the name. After the conquest many subject ethnic groups eastward including daurs, and yenitsei became vassals to the Qing as they shared similar nomadic culture with the Manchus. As soon as the Russian empire and Qing empire borders meet there were border skirmishes/fights the Qing in fear of losing their manchurian homeland as that would mean the 'Aisin Gioro' clan would lose both legitimacies as defender and head of a manchu state, as well as Chinese emperor, encouraged Han and Korean migration with policies such as zero taxes and generous pension schemes in order to populate their homeland with defenders against the Russians. Which is why you have the Korea autonomous prefecture in Yanbian and intermarriage of Han and Manchus in Manchuria.
@@조일선명 Those are the places I was referring to in my comment. We can even include Hong Kong and Macau as the southernmost part of China where some Chinese do look more Southeast Asian.

You said that the Manchus have a population of 10 million, which is wrong.Because the Chinese government gives more benefits to ethnic minorities, many Han people deliberately register themselves as Manchus. In fact, the Manchus only had 50,000 male soldiers when they established the Qing Dynasty. If children, women and the elderly are included, the number was about 200,000. Most of the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty were actually Han Chinese, which is why the Qing Dynasty was so completely culturally Chinese, even though they changed the clothes and hairstyles of the Han people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of Manchu soldiers was more than 200,000, and the total number of Manchus should not exceed 1 million.Considering that China's population has increased two or three times from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, the real Manchu population is now about 2 million or 3 million. In fact, even the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty were very close to the northern Chinese because they had lived together with the Han people for a long time.And there is also the fact that during the Ming Dynasty when the Manchus had not yet established a dynasty, they often plundered the Han and Korean populations, so the Ming Dynasty massacred the Jurchens many times. In other words, before the Qing Dynasty, there were already many Han ancestry among the Manchus. During the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus were no longer a hunter-gatherer group, but became a settled nation like the Han people.
Culturally northeast Asians emphasize on mass-togetherness (conformity) but western and southern nations emphasize on individualism and distinctiveness.

@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan Han Chinese in many areas did have hate against Manchurians because of historical reasons but actual act of violence never actually took place except a little during like the first week of Xinhai Revolution when there were some Han Chinese servants stabbed their Manchurian employer.

@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan And there are plenty of famous Chinese influencer that are ethnically Manchurians. The only notable point of your link is that Guan Zhilin is a Southerner in Hongkong. Most influencing Manchurians are from Beijing who inherited their Beijing properties from Qing dynasty and the resulting good education and social privilege.
@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan There are cases of Revolutionaries went slaughter Manchurians in heavily manchurian district of cities. But, like I said, it didn't last long and didn't pose huge fears to the whole manchurian population, they were still having fun playing crickets in Beijing, it is nowhere near the genocide level. Manchurian did change to Han Chinese names to avoid harassment of revolutionaries, but as you can see, the fact that people stopped seeking them as soon as they changed their hated names shows that most people hated Qing Dynasty instead of the Manchu population(In many cases, they could just chase these manchurian till the end but that didn't happen).
China's homogeneity is a fairly recent thing in the past 1000 years. Original Han homeland is very a very small region in Henan China. Even people in Shanghai and Hunan are considered to be barbarians, even though they;re only 2-3 hours of bullet train away by modern standards. Through expansion and assimilation, the rest of the continent all became Han.
'Mongolia' is much closer to Central Asia than to Northeast Asia. And not only Northeast Asia but also Central Asia is racially identical to Northeast Asia. For example, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz people look exactly like Chinese people.
You mentioned one reason as these countries not being colonized, but even more so these countries have also mostly refrained from colonizing other countries in the recent centuries
China has very few internal geographic barriers, which means that when one ethnicity attained a position of strength it was able to impose its will and cleanse competing cultures. There's a reason why the most ethnically diverse places on earth (the Balkans for example) tend to have plenty of internal barriers such as mountains to insulate and allow small ethnic groups to survive through the millennia.
I don’t believe China is that homogenous, even within the Han population. China is a big country, nearly the size of Europe, with over a billion. Comparing someone from Guangdong vs Liaoning is like comparing an Italian to a Norwegian. Some might argue “what a ridiculous analogy. Italians are dark and short.

It's the same way you'll help your neighbours, but not at the expense of your own family suffering.
Thinking of East Asians as the same group is a very Western-centered thinking. China is a multi-ethnic country composed of so many ethnic groups, and their genetic differences between people in the north and the south are bigger than those of Nordic and southern Europeans. Japanese and Koreans are the most similar ethnic groups on Earth, but their genetic differences are bigger than those of Russians and British people.
That's offensive, China has over 56 different ethnic groups, although the Han Chinese do overwhelm the majority. And yes these groups look different from one another
@@achuang582 ikr, if they're slightly brown, it means that they're healthy and they go outside a lot So skin tone isn't even something that differentiates the Han from the other minorities like in Korea and Japan
@@achuang582 There's genetics. But yeah, little phenotype diversity. Southeast Asians would look similar to east asians but with darker skin if not for more prevalent contact with Indian/Persian/Arab traders, colonizers, and mixing with the melanesian aboriginals. If you've seen the uncolonized, unmixed, and indigenous Southeast Asian tribes, you will quickly notice how they look east asian. Sarawaks, Igorots, Penan tribe are a few examples although some are also starting to mix outside their tribe and diluting their racial purity.
@@dwargonedragon794 I think South East Asians races and ethnics have their own DNA that look so different from East Asians!!! For example: an ethnic Indonesian or Malaysian who has nothing to do with Indian or Arab but their appearance are still distinguish from Chinese, Japanese ( much darker skin, larger eyes,...)
Beside of the region identification as East Asia, in which includes China, Korea and Japan only. There comes a Northeast Asia, in which covers Mongolia, Russian Siberia, Korea, Japan and north portion of China. All the geographical sub-regions are classified by the Westerners.

Cool video but what’s up with the creepy murder investigation music? It makes the video seem like a western person attacking East Asian countries for not being politically correct or diverse like most western nations.
All East Asian countries have strict immigration restrictions. You immigrant to Japan and Korea etc you assimilate to there culture and language. Citizenship is taking seriously. Illegal immigration is not taken lightly or tolerated. They take there sovereignty seriously.
No, because unlike other nations from a different continent they didn't go out in the world to colonize oppress other people so they don't have the feeling of guilt to compensate for their sins
I think there is a misconception that Han Chinese ‘kept’ the homogenous throughout the history. But in reality the homogenous look is a result of widespread blood or genetic mixing of all ethnic groups that ever existed on that land, only with a few exceptions in history. And there’re two main reasons the genetic mixing is so widespread. 1. The Han consider another ethical group Han whenever that ethical group adopted the same culture and same language, regardless of the look. And whenever that happens, blood mixing happens, since there is no rule / culture preventing marriage among different groups. This happened countless times in the history and most of them happened pretty early (like 1000-2000 years ago). 2. Unlike Europe or India where there were strict race or blood related classes that inter-marriage is impossible or at least rare, the Han abandoned that system very early on. No last name is considered higher ranking than another throughout the history. This further encouraged genetic mixing. There was a group of Jewish that started residency in central China from Tang Dynasty, keeping there culture and religion until the late Qing dynasty when wars made it no longer possible. The Han never forced them to change their religion, even though they look almost identical to the Han now due to genetic mixing in just less than 200 years, at least to this TH-camr’s eyes.
In Taiwan, although Han make up 98% of the population, there are sub division of the ethnic Han and the sub groups actually consider themselves as that particular subgroup. Basically, Han isn't rly one ethnic group
Han Chinese is a culture not a race, we are different from Koreans and Japanese, we should not be put together with them, we are not Koreans and Japanese.
The Han nationality is a culture, not a race. We are different from Koreans and Japanese. While we all have o3 lineage y chromosomes, we shouldn't be put together with them. We are not Korean and Japanese. In ancient times, they were not the same language as us. , they are not full Chinese characters and should not bring Koreans and Japanese to China.
@Hernando Malinche Thats true Its the same way how French eliminated the patois. It would be better for any industrialized countries to have a standard language.
@Hernando Malinche I just don't like the premise of this video claiming that China is very homogeneous. With a billion people, China still has multiple religions, languages, and traditions. Unlike Indonesia, India, or the Philippines, China, Korea, and Vietnam all have the advantage of being unified countries for millennia. The other countries were just colonized by Westerners with no respect to their cultures and boundaries. Heck, India is like a unified Europe in diversity.
zhess 4096 What do you mean “The other countries were just colonized by Westerners with No respect to their cultures and boundaries” - Westerners built infrastructure and then handed them back their nations. PUT DOWN THE PROPAGANDA KOOL-AID! Whites are the only group that colonizes and preserves the culture they conquer. You are a LIAR and a TROUBLEMAKER.

Still I can dope out 10% of Japanese/Korean and 30% of Mogol just according to their looks. Some of them have typical face or shape of their body. Furthermore, as you put Mongolia(a North Asia Country) in the list, you should include Vietnamese, I cannot sought out over 85% of them in the crowd until they lift up their voice.
I'm sure this channel thinks Thailand is more East Asian and more homogeneous than Vietnam lol. Perhaps it is because the historical events causing Vietnam's economy to start later than other countries, make people despise or lack knowledge abt it. Anyways VN just joined WTO in 2007, I didn't expect people to know things about Vietnam other than the Vietnam war, Vietcong, ....
Currently, there are still many Koreans with Vietnamese descent living in North and South Korea (some of them have Vietnamese nationality and return to Vietnam to worship ancestors). on wikipedia said it is 14% Koreans have Vietnamese blood, I'm not sure that, they have immigrated to Korea more than 700 years ago, It is a so long time ago

Actually, peoples in East Asia have diverse genetic origins. For example, Han Chinese is a massive mixture of Ancient Central Chinese (Zhou), Austroasian of Southern Chinese (Chu. Yue) and Manchurians. Also many Koreans have Chinese ancestor. But, It's a matter of culture and history. Unlike Europe where feudalism reigned, East Asian countries developed strong central government and they always want to make their peoples bonded together, so many small scale assimilation happened earlier. European colonisation doesn't matter because borders and ethnic homogeneity in East Asia established far before European colonisation.
Europe is also pretty diverse Why are you writing as if Europe isn't diverse and why are you writing like you hate the guts of Europeans. You should know better Next time correct yourself
@jeanferdi they just love their people and nation Just because they don't want you doesn't mean they wish death upon you. What are you even getting at. Why is it people like you that wants East Asia to have and accept other kinds of people? Why is it that people like you get triggered over the fact that east Asia is pursing for and working for their interest. Would you like me to say to you that you're a bad person for not helping and letting the homeless sleep in your house? No? Why? Oh because it's your house and don't want strangers? Now do you understand east Asians? Jeez, people like you are utter snowflakes
Omega 01 He wasn’t writing that they are bad people but that people in this area are often fearful for things which are strange to them. Due to their history they have a high expectation of people to assimilate which you to a certain extent confirmed as well. As I had many “strangers” in my house but wouldn’t let in a homeless person in I think both are not the same. I just wanted to point this out without any judgment.
If anyone asked me what my ethnicity was, I'd say Taiwanese but would point out that my people are Chinese as well. F**k political boundaries--I can proudly say I have Chinese blood in me. Our people can get along seemlessly with each other if they're not debating over what those in power want us to fight over. The same goes for the Japanese; it still pisses me off how they commited atrocities against China in the past (we share many cultural similarities for goodness sake), even though they left the Taiwanese alone after the occupation of their island. Sorry this is a tad off topic, but I hate it when people bear certain sentiments towards others, negative or otherwise, just because they were born in a different place in the world. :-//
But historically Taiwan is a chinese province, Taiwan cannot be recognized as a country if it is not recognized by all nations, Taiwan did not even have an indepence revolution from mainland China, actually mainland china had a revolution against the Koumintang, it's the opposite. So it's normal the people says that taiwanese are chinese, because they are historically and ethnically the same, although the conflict between the CPC and the KMT.
As mentioned in the video, Japan's control of Korea and Manchuria in the Pacific War was the same as Germany's control of Austria and the Netherlands. However, China was treated like Poland.
Come on. Just because some countries in the world had European colonization, doesn't mean that a significant amount of Europeans got in their gene pool. The Filipino gene pool has hardly any European admixture. The Spanish hardly even had a presence there. The only half filipino I can think of is Enrique Iglesias. And I suspect even her mom is a Filipino born Spanish woman.
I think he was referring to the idea that when Europeans colonized an area, they typically opened it up to trade, immigration and emigration en masse (sometimes by force). The intermingling of traders and immigrants would usually result in some mixing of DNA. Often these countries only had trade ties with local neighboring groups prior to colonization. Also, there is plenty of precedence of women in South East Asia accepting marriage to foreign soldiers in order to improve their family's financial situation. This happened in the Philippines before and after WW2 and Vietnam during the Vietnam war.
Enrique's mom is an asian Filipino. She's definitely not white. The Europeans were all up in the Philippines. It's just that Asian Gene's are stronger so the genetic impact isn't as easily noticeable.
"The Spanish hardly even had a presence there" And yet the filipino language is heavily influenced by Spanish to this day and up to 85% of the population is Roman catholic. I know that you probably mean in the ethnic sense but to say that they "hardly" had a presence is very disingenuous.
@Antonio Maldonado then, who are the ayalas, the razons, the aboitiz, etc. etc. most of the legit spanish filipinos with purer spanish blood are just clustered more in the upper and upper middle classes. perhaps u just dont personally know much legit spanish filipinos, if all u can think is Enrique Iglesias. just because historically speaking, it was popular to falsely claim spanish ancestry does not mean, there actually arent many people with legit spanish ancestries in the philippines. stroll through the halls of top universities, village subdivisions, and high-end malls in metro manila and many there that would claim spanish ancestry can actually back up those claims... its even a bit obvious in their facial characteristics like the reason this person is so fair-skinned despite not looking like they have east asian ancestry is cuz they actually do have spanish ancestry. many of them too moved to the US, canada, and australia in the past like during the marcos regime or other past major events. ive talked to one who lives in the US and he sureas hell was white from a picture of himself he sent me and he even showed me his dna test results showing overwhelming 84% spanish ancestry and only 8% southern chinese and 8% southeast asian. he says his family is of Crame de Estrada, as in the namesake of Camp Crame, the main headquarters of the PNP (philippine national police). his description or ranting of how his family acts, even tells me for sure that they still act like the typical upper class spanish filipino family.
I don't think you know. Korea and China have completely different languages, food, and grammar. It may look similar to Westerners, but it is a completely different race. Asians are the same.

@@yasasnturkiye2999 Sorry, but Asians can't tell the difference between Americans and Swedes, just as Europeans can't tell the difference between Thais, Japanese and Vietnamese.
Yeah... In Europe you get the splits with Germany being 75% German but Czechia being 95% Czech. In General I would feel safe to say that the more economically known the country is, the less homogeneous its ethic groups are. Germany 75% Britain being about 88% white British Spain being also in 88% The problems with Ethnicity is the question as to how much integration does it take for one to become ethnically something. Is it the first generation, second or third (Where only one original was not ethnically native to the region) I mean. Ethnicity is not just about genetics. It is about the language, traditions and social customs. (The fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.) A foreigner can come into a place and fully embrace the culture, customs and language but they wouldn't change the genetic factor. That only begs the question of how much integration does it take to become a part of ethnic group. I am from one European country but live in a different one and the difference is big. Not only do the people look different but the social customs, general knowledge of things and overall culture is different too. I am from a background where the importance of cultural heritage was heavily embraced and was something very important so looking into ethical differences is somewhat fascinating to me. My native country had festivals, traditions, parades ext that were tied to the cultural heritage but the country where I live now doesn't have anything like it. There is no cultural heritage being embraced besides politics which is very dry and sad. If anyone is wondering, I live in England now. The closest event to an event closely tied to English heritage wound be Guy Fawkes Night.
Years of multiculturalism and leftist telling english people they got no roots or native heritage cause that, england has so many folklore castles both anglosaxon and celtic heritage and even some viking in the north, but nope celebrating that isnt inclusive enought for the minorities. 🙄🙄🙄 they could talk about britons anglosaxons, you know english people???
My guess is the starting seed population was smaller and more homogenous. Maybe a study in population genetics + prehistoric archaeology + ancient human migration will help answer this.
I keep noticing you saying its debatable weather Han Chinese are ethnically homogenous. Considering your knowledge im confused as to why you keep mixing up regional dialect with a different ethnicity. The southern Chinese have different genetic traits because of the climate the same way southern italians and northern italians have different genetics despite having a shared tribe and genetic backround as well as shared cultural history. they are not separate, they themselves even consider themselves to be Han Chinese. Language is not the same as genetics.
Actually, all human races on Earth have Extraterrestrial genes. The human race in this galaxy all originated from Lyra, and some migrated here. But in terms of past lives, most East Asians were Sirians a long time ago. Sirian culture focuses more on Group Harmony than Individual Freedom, while Pleaidians are the opposite ( Most Pleaidian incarnates goes to the Caucasian race and Native Americans ). The other Asian, Aryan and Semitic races comes from the Nibiruans ( they too have relations to the genetics of people from Sirius, and when they came to Earth in the past, were known as the Annunaki ). The Black/African race comes from the Vegan star system, where the homeworld is inhabited by dark-skinned humans able to resist the strong sunlight from their home star. There are also some feline and bird humanoid ET races in Lyra, so if there are people on Earth who are into Furries, their distant past lives must have relation to them.
Chinese civilization started from settled farming. They built the great wall to defend against the nomadic raids. It is an inward civilization and did not migrate on horseback or sail by boats or colonize the others. I say settled farming and the Confucious culture is the biggest factor.
I think you forgot one of the main reasons that led East Asian countries to be ethnically homogenous. I was waiting for it but never heard it. The reason is geography. The Himalayas to the South, frozen Siberia and the steppes to the North the desserts of China to the West and the vast Pacific ocean to the East. All these circumstances create an isolated area and made immigration difficult especially in the old times. Morever the Eastern parts namely Korea and Japan are mostly harsh mountainous territories and Japan deals with natural disasters like earthquakes and Tsunamis all the time. So if people are cut off for a long time and stay together long enough the will create a common civilisation and ethnicity. It'svery logical
This is true. I believe geography plays a much bigger role than any of the reasons mentioned in this video.
thats also the reason why colder nations tend to be far more ethnically homogenous than warmer nations-few ethnicities are fit for cold climates

@ナノ人 we are east Asian， not mongolid race，mongolid race is a racist word
@ナノ人 The term now preferred by anglophone anthropologists and geneticists is "Mongolic".
"Mongoloid" did not orginally have derogatory implications any more than "Caucasoid" (which from both a geographic and a genetic perspective, is a misnomer as a 'racial' designation) or "Negroid"("Negro" derives from "black"). Racist and derogatory connotations were involved in the use of "Mongoloid" (as in "Mongoloid idiot") and "Mongolism" to refer to Down's Syndrome, where those with this genetically based condition were considered by even early scientific medical practioners to represent retrograde reversions to more primitive, possibly ancestral phenotypes.
Joe Biden's recent usage of ''Neanderthal'' in a derogatory context represents a contemporary version of this ignorant perspective. Ironically, genetic analyses have quite consistently confirmed that East Asians tend to higher percentages of 'Neanderthal genes' than Europeans. Yet when was the last time that you noticed a reference to East Asians in a Western MSM article on a certain now very politically incorrect test? These articles focus almost entirely on AVERAGE differences in scores between 'Whites, 'Blacks, and 'Hispanics! TH-cam now censors virtually any reference to this supposedly racist test (except from their uploaders), so you may not even see this! Yet their comment boards are filled with posts from clowns endlessly claiming that "Asians can't innovate, they can only copy, cheat, and steal".
Yes all the african Chinese and Caucasian chinese together with sprinkles of hindu and arabian chinese have melted into modern China. What a great comparison you came up with.
@ナノ人 The Mongolian race is a manifestation of the prejudice of Western civilization against East Asian civilization. As far as the current evidence is concerned, East Asians did not originate in Mongolia.
@ナノ人 Naming a race should be named after the place where the race first appeared. Westerners named East Asians after the Mongols Race just because the Mongols had brought them terrible memories.
It could also be because northeast Asia goes through periods of being mostly depopulated whenever the Earth goes through colder climate cycles. When it warms up again, the population grows from a small genetic pool. The warmer regions stay populated consistently throughout the ages, so their genetic diversity remains high.

You may confuse history with anthropology. Korea has its origins in the kingdom of Old Joseon, located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. This kingdom was later split into several countries, and Some of the powers of these dynasties moved south to the Korean Peninsula, creating the three ancient kingdoms of the Korea.

The genetic study that people from the Indochina Peninsula migrated to the Korean Peninsula or Japan is an anthropology that happened about over 20,000 years ago. This is not history. History is the tale of how the people in the area make a country and form a national identity. It is the story of a record remaining as a documentary or historical relic within the last 5000 years. The identity of Korea is originated by the rise and fall of the ancient kingdom located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

The influx of immigrants from the ME and Africa are partly due to the destabilization of those countries by the colonial powers. And if they were closer to asia, then they would probably go there.

East Asian nations are based on culture rather than blood. 2000 years ago, the Han Chinese was identified by the words(Chinese text instead of languages), clothing, values, etc. Any other nation could become Han Chinese if they have the same culture. The Han Chinese also absorbed the cultures, costumes and lineages from other nationalities.
Yes, this is especially true for Turkic people who are a perfect example of it. They originated in East Asia and migrated further west up to Anatolia. They absorbed a large portion of different ethnicities but they never gave up their culture and language. Thats why you can see the Turkish language today in Turkey, while the people all look very different from eachother.
Culture and Language is what defines Asian nations and not blood.
They are Han Chinese because Qin Shi Huang destroyed all kingdoms kill all ethnicities , destroy all culture , books , histories before him , what is left after him was a people with no past , no history , no cultures that eventually develop into the Han cultures .
@@tomviktorsson5052 I am afraid your comment is very well untrue, Qin Shi Huang did not destroy all the books or culture or history before him, there were tons of the Chinese classic literature and historic documents that survived through the Qin dynasty due to its very short life, and the Han people though called ourselves Han, but it is actually a very mixed up ethnic group since there were many nomad invaders in the long history of China, we had 五胡乱华 five groups of barbarians screwed up China, South-North Sui Tang Dynastic, they were Xianbei or Siberian ppl ruling over China, then Yuan the Mongolian and Qing the Jurchen people occupied China, they all largely mixed up with the local Han people except for the Mongolians since Mongolian didn't embrace Han's culture or the political system like the other nomads did, they eventually being pushed back to their land of origin.
the 'Han peoples' really started as a slur in the Northern Dynasty. Otherwise where did you think the term “一条汉子” comes from? Does that sound like language used to describe a human? It was gradually adopted to be a name for Chinese people of the Confucian influence during Song dynasty. During Tang dynasty everybody called themselves Tang peoples.

To East Asians, Europe looks monolithic. If you're an East Asian, you know that Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Mongolians are not a completely homogeneous race. Of course, there are some shared looks that you can't tell which country they are from.
The ethnic homogeneity is exaggerated. People in Japan are not all genetically homogeneous, being descented from both Jomon, Yayoi, and later Korean immigrants. Culturally- Japan actually has minority languages, such as the various Ryukyuan languages, which are not merely dialects of Japanese.
I would argue the Confucian cultural background creates strong pressure to have the perception, if not implementation, of a dominant culture.
oh boy i sure do love masaman's great neutral videos about genetics and ethnicity! i hope the discussion in the comments will be just as objective and respectful as the video!
also my 2 cents on the subject is that like what rareearth said, they only seem homogeneous these days because they heavily integrated many foreign concepts into their own cultures, if you want a good example just look at the foods in japan.
The Japanese are not homogeneous, they are a mix of the original Jomon (very close to Austronesian) and East Asian mainlanders.
Koreans are not homogeneous either, they have different ethnic groups such as Mahan, Jinhan and Byeonhan.
@@gunsroses1293 they are homogenous in the sense that the people u mentioned have been there for thousands of years. In any case they are super closely related to each other anyways. And the homogenous part is a relative to the population of non-East Asians such as Europeans, Africans, etc...

Look at Japan. They have 1/26th the landmass of the United States while having a 3rd of its population. It's gotta be jam-packed over there. They're not in any position to accept more people because they barely have any more space left.
Sacrificing natural uninhabited land is not an option because those provide the habitats necessary to have a balanced ecosystem that feeds the populous.
Finally someone got it.
Same thing with Europe. It's densely populated, narrow, crowded. But recently, they have a declining birthrate soooo...lez juz say they are trying solutions.
The Americas is a unique thing bec there's space for everyone. It's the only place I can see racial diversity to work, if people learned to respect each other of course.
This is the only comment thread i have seen so far that is thoughtful about each country’s unique circumstances and situations instead of one shouting “homogeny bad or diversity bad”
Also, Japan is very mountainous.
Finally, a worthy comment.
So is China pursuing a policy of Ethnic Nationalism? Seems like a dumb question but with what I’ve been hearing in the East and Manchuria, I wonder if that is the goal of Beijing.
It's basically just doing what it's done for Millenia, slowly assimilating surrounding cultures into its genetic and cultural sphere. That's why there are so many "Han" people today. Most of them came from assimilated tribes who intermarried into the original Han, which was a tribal confederation in the first place.
These Han for centuries have slowly ethnically and culturally assimilated every group that they come across. It’s why China is overwhelmingly of Han ancestry.
They’re currently in the process of doing the same thing with Tibet, Manchuria, and Xi Xiang. If nothing is done, Tibetans, Uighurs, and Manchurians will all just become Han.
@@preoximerias7366 This is only true for Xinjiang. Tibetans cannot be assimilated while the Manchus already were assimilated but the government decided to declare a group of people with Manchu ancestry (and sometimes without) as Manchu. The Manchus in China today consider themselves that, but the Han of the north and the Manchu had already assimilated into each other, so there is barely any distinction.
That'd be very true. Ethnicity nationalism at its finest.

During the Qing dynasty of china, the ruling manchurian clan 'aisin gioro' was wary of the eastward expansion of the Russian empire as soon as the russian conquered the sibir khanate in what is now Siberia hence the name. After the conquest many subject ethnic groups eastward including daurs, and yenitsei became vassals to the Qing as they shared similar nomadic culture with the Manchus. As soon as the Russian empire and Qing empire borders meet there were border skirmishes/fights the Qing in fear of losing their manchurian homeland as that would mean the 'Aisin Gioro' clan would lose both legitimacies as defender and head of a manchu state, as well as Chinese emperor, encouraged Han and Korean migration with policies such as zero taxes and generous pension schemes in order to populate their homeland with defenders against the Russians. Which is why you have the Korea autonomous prefecture in Yanbian and intermarriage of Han and Manchus in Manchuria.

You said that the Manchus have a population of 10 million, which is wrong.Because the Chinese government gives more benefits to ethnic minorities, many Han people deliberately register themselves as Manchus.
In fact, the Manchus only had 50,000 male soldiers when they established the Qing Dynasty. If children, women and the elderly are included, the number was about 200,000. Most of the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty were actually Han Chinese, which is why the Qing Dynasty was so completely culturally Chinese, even though they changed the clothes and hairstyles of the Han people.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of Manchu soldiers was more than 200,000, and the total number of Manchus should not exceed 1 million.Considering that China's population has increased two or three times from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, the real Manchu population is now about 2 million or 3 million.
In fact, even the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty were very close to the northern Chinese because they had lived together with the Han people for a long time.And there is also the fact that during the Ming Dynasty when the Manchus had not yet established a dynasty, they often plundered the Han and Korean populations, so the Ming Dynasty massacred the Jurchens many times. In other words, before the Qing Dynasty, there were already many Han ancestry among the Manchus. During the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus were no longer a hunter-gatherer group, but became a settled nation like the Han people.

All East Asian countries have strict immigration restrictions. You immigrant to Japan and Korea etc you assimilate to there culture and language. Citizenship is taking seriously. Illegal immigration is not taken lightly or tolerated. They take there sovereignty seriously.

I think there is a misconception that Han Chinese ‘kept’ the homogenous throughout the history. But in reality the homogenous look is a result of widespread blood or genetic mixing of all ethnic groups that ever existed on that land, only with a few exceptions in history.
And there’re two main reasons the genetic mixing is so widespread. 1. The Han consider another ethical group Han whenever that ethical group adopted the same culture and same language, regardless of the look. And whenever that happens, blood mixing happens, since there is no rule / culture preventing marriage among different groups. This happened countless times in the history and most of them happened pretty early (like 1000-2000 years ago). 2. Unlike Europe or India where there were strict race or blood related classes that inter-marriage is impossible or at least rare, the Han abandoned that system very early on. No last name is considered higher ranking than another throughout the history. This further encouraged genetic mixing.
There was a group of Jewish that started residency in central China from Tang Dynasty, keeping there culture and religion until the late Qing dynasty when wars made it no longer possible. The Han never forced them to change their religion, even though they look almost identical to the Han now due to genetic mixing in just less than 200 years, at least to this TH-camr’s eyes.
In Taiwan, although Han make up 98% of the population, there are sub division of the ethnic Han and the sub groups actually consider themselves as that particular subgroup. Basically, Han isn't rly one ethnic group
Han Chinese is a culture not a race, we are different from Koreans and Japanese, we should not be put together with them, we are not Koreans and Japanese.
The Han nationality is a culture, not a race. We are different from Koreans and Japanese. While we all have o3 lineage y chromosomes, we shouldn't be put together with them. We are not Korean and Japanese. In ancient times, they were not the same language as us. , they are not full Chinese characters and should not bring Koreans and Japanese to China.

China is very diverse. In fact the southern part has many different languages that Beinjing considers to be "dialects"
@Hernando Malinche Thats true
Its the same way how French eliminated the patois. It would be better for any industrialized countries to have a standard language.
@Hernando Malinche I just don't like the premise of this video claiming that China is very homogeneous. With a billion people, China still has multiple religions, languages, and traditions. Unlike Indonesia, India, or the Philippines, China, Korea, and Vietnam all have the advantage of being unified countries for millennia. The other countries were just colonized by Westerners with no respect to their cultures and boundaries. Heck, India is like a unified Europe in diversity.
zhess 4096 A country is only diverse if it’s flooded with Africans and Arabs.
zhess 4096 What do you mean “The other countries were just colonized by Westerners with No respect to their cultures and boundaries” - Westerners built infrastructure and then handed them back their nations.

Still I can dope out 10% of Japanese/Korean and 30% of Mogol just according to their looks. Some of them have typical face or shape of their body. Furthermore, as you put Mongolia(a North Asia Country) in the list, you should include Vietnamese, I cannot sought out over 85% of them in the crowd until they lift up their voice.
I'm sure this channel thinks Thailand is more East Asian and more homogeneous than Vietnam lol.
Perhaps it is because the historical events causing Vietnam's economy to start later than other countries, make people despise or lack knowledge abt it. Anyways VN just joined WTO in 2007, I didn't expect people to know things about Vietnam other than the Vietnam war, Vietcong, ....
Currently, there are still many Koreans with Vietnamese descent living in North and South Korea (some of them have Vietnamese nationality and return to Vietnam to worship ancestors).
on wikipedia said it is 14% Koreans have Vietnamese blood, I'm not sure that, they have immigrated to Korea more than 700 years ago, It is a so long time ago

South China, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia is south Asians. And india, Pakistan, tibet, sri Lanka, Nepal are south Asians
Quick correction. Vietnam and its surrounding counties was indeed colonised as what was called French Indochina. Vietnamese is written in Latin based script, and in the upper class Vietnamese families spoke French.
eastern europe countries are still close to being ethnically homogenous too, but the west is lost because of massive immigration.
wars have consequences, don't they?

Most of the Eurasians and biracial groups have tended to migrate to more socially progressive western nations along with many full-blooded homogeneous types. But times are changing, on my last trip to China, southeast Asia and India I came across multiple enclaves of African people living in Asia.
Thats sad.
They may not be african they mag be aboriginal or melanesians or negrito which are indigenous to southeast asia and islands
Get rid of them. China should stay without all this weird diversity. America is fine but not China
Actually, peoples in East Asia have diverse genetic origins. For example, Han Chinese is a massive mixture of Ancient Central Chinese (Zhou), Austroasian of Southern Chinese (Chu. Yue) and Manchurians. Also many Koreans have Chinese ancestor. But, It's a matter of culture and history. Unlike Europe where feudalism reigned, East Asian countries developed strong central government and they always want to make their peoples bonded together, so many small scale assimilation happened earlier. European colonisation doesn't matter because borders and ethnic homogeneity in East Asia established far before European colonisation.
Europe is also pretty diverse
Why are you writing as if Europe isn't diverse and why are you writing like you hate the guts of Europeans.

Omega 01 He wasn’t writing that they are bad people but that people in this area are often fearful for things which are strange to them.
Due to their history they have a high expectation of people to assimilate which you to a certain extent confirmed as well.

If anyone asked me what my ethnicity was, I'd say Taiwanese but would point out that my people are Chinese as well. F**k political boundaries--I can proudly say I have Chinese blood in me. Our people can get along seemlessly with each other if they're not debating over what those in power want us to fight over. The same goes for the Japanese; it still pisses me off how they commited atrocities against China in the past (we share many cultural similarities for goodness sake), even though they left the Taiwanese alone after the occupation of their island. Sorry this is a tad off topic, but I hate it when people bear certain sentiments towards others, negative or otherwise, just because they were born in a different place in the world. :-//
But historically Taiwan is a chinese province, Taiwan cannot be recognized as a country if it is not recognized by all nations, Taiwan did not even have an indepence revolution from mainland China, actually mainland china had a revolution against the Koumintang, it's the opposite.
So it's normal the people says that taiwanese are chinese, because they are historically and ethnically the same, although the conflict between the CPC and the KMT.
You are saying all Europe country is same. You just have no idea on culture and history background
As mentioned in the video, Japan's control of Korea and Manchuria in the Pacific War was the same as Germany's control of Austria and the Netherlands. However, China was treated like Poland.

Come on. Just because some countries in the world had European colonization, doesn't mean that a significant amount of Europeans got in their gene pool. The Filipino gene pool has hardly any European admixture. The Spanish hardly even had a presence there. The only half filipino I can think of is Enrique Iglesias. And I suspect even her mom is a Filipino born Spanish woman.
I think he was referring to the idea that when Europeans colonized an area, they typically opened it up to trade, immigration and emigration en masse (sometimes by force). The intermingling of traders and immigrants would usually result in some mixing of DNA. Often these countries only had trade ties with local neighboring groups prior to colonization. Also, there is plenty of precedence of women in South East Asia accepting marriage to foreign soldiers in order to improve their family's financial situation. This happened in the Philippines before and after WW2 and Vietnam during the Vietnam war.
Enrique's mom is an asian Filipino. She's definitely not white. The Europeans were all up in the Philippines. It's just that Asian Gene's are stronger so the genetic impact isn't as easily noticeable.
"The Spanish hardly even had a presence there"
And yet the filipino language is heavily influenced by Spanish to this day and up to 85% of the population is Roman catholic. I know that you probably mean in the ethnic sense but to say that they "hardly" had a presence is very disingenuous.
@Antonio Maldonado then, who are the ayalas, the razons, the aboitiz, etc. etc. most of the legit spanish filipinos with purer spanish blood are just clustered more in the upper and upper middle classes. perhaps u just dont personally know much legit spanish filipinos, if all u can think is Enrique Iglesias. just because historically speaking, it was popular to falsely claim spanish ancestry does not mean, there actually arent many people with legit spanish ancestries in the philippines. stroll through the halls of top universities, village subdivisions, and high-end malls in metro manila and many there that would claim spanish ancestry can actually back up those claims... its even a bit obvious in their facial characteristics like the reason this person is so fair-skinned despite not looking like they have east asian ancestry is cuz they actually do have spanish ancestry. many of them too moved to the US, canada, and australia in the past like during the marcos regime or other past major events. ive talked to one who lives in the US and he sureas hell was white from a picture of himself he sent me and he even showed me his dna test results showing overwhelming 84% spanish ancestry and only 8% southern chinese and 8% southeast asian. he says his family is of Crame de Estrada, as in the namesake of Camp Crame, the main headquarters of the PNP (philippine national police). his description or ranting of how his family acts, even tells me for sure that they still act like the typical upper class spanish filipino family.

The problems with Ethnicity is the question as to how much integration does it take for one to become ethnically something. Is it the first generation, second or third (Where only one original was not ethnically native to the region)
I mean. Ethnicity is not just about genetics. It is about the language, traditions and social customs. (The fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.)
A foreigner can come into a place and fully embrace the culture, customs and language but they wouldn't change the genetic factor. That only begs the question of how much integration does it take to become a part of ethnic group.
I am from one European country but live in a different one and the difference is big. Not only do the people look different but the social customs, general knowledge of things and overall culture is different too. I am from a background where the importance of cultural heritage was heavily embraced and was something very important so looking into ethical differences is somewhat fascinating to me. My native country had festivals, traditions, parades ext that were tied to the cultural heritage but the country where I live now doesn't have anything like it. There is no cultural heritage being embraced besides politics which is very dry and sad.
If anyone is wondering, I live in England now. The closest event to an event closely tied to English heritage wound be Guy Fawkes Night.
Years of multiculturalism and leftist telling english people they got no roots or native heritage cause that, england has so many folklore castles both anglosaxon and celtic heritage and even some viking in the north, but nope celebrating that isnt inclusive enought for the minorities. 🙄🙄🙄 they could talk about britons anglosaxons, you know english people???
My guess is the starting seed population was smaller and more homogenous. Maybe a study in population genetics + prehistoric archaeology + ancient human migration will help answer this.
Yep, Pre shang dynasty China was likely the size of one or two Japan.
I keep noticing you saying its debatable weather Han Chinese are ethnically homogenous. Considering your knowledge im confused as to why you keep mixing up regional dialect with a different ethnicity. The southern Chinese have different genetic traits because of the climate the same way southern italians and northern italians have different genetics despite having a shared tribe and genetic backround as well as shared cultural history. they are not separate, they themselves even consider themselves to be Han Chinese. Language is not the same as genetics.
ethinically homogenous is the best way to be.
Actually, all human races on Earth have Extraterrestrial genes. The human race in this galaxy all originated from Lyra, and some migrated here. But in terms of past lives, most East Asians were Sirians a long time ago. Sirian culture focuses more on Group Harmony than Individual Freedom, while Pleaidians are the opposite ( Most Pleaidian incarnates goes to the Caucasian race and Native Americans ). The other Asian, Aryan and Semitic races comes from the Nibiruans ( they too have relations to the genetics of people from Sirius, and when they came to Earth in the past, were known as the Annunaki ). The Black/African race comes from the Vegan star system, where the homeworld is inhabited by dark-skinned humans able to resist the strong sunlight from their home star. There are also some feline and bird humanoid ET races in Lyra, so if there are people on Earth who are into Furries, their distant past lives must have relation to them.
Where does Xenu play into this?
Chinese civilization started from settled farming. They built the great wall to defend against the nomadic raids. It is an inward civilization and did not migrate on horseback or sail by boats or colonize the others. I say settled farming and the Confucious culture is the biggest factor.
