If you're really confused about it just look at manny pacquiao and axe yoself if he look asian or not then you should have your answer:



Then, if you really want to get more confused read about the Negritos and various other black or dark skinned peoples in the Philippines (which is why you sometimes see very dark skinned pinoys)


^^Negritos in the Philippine army that were captured

^^^Negritos

original inhabitants of the Philippines are the Agta (diminutive Africoids), who still live there in some numbers and are commonly and pejoratively called Pygmies, Negritos and Aeta

just goes to show that man was traveling the oceans thousands and thousands of years before christ and it's laughable that Christopher Columbus and the likes are celebrated when ancient man had been all over the globe.



Negritos are extremely ancient, so ancient that they were the very first people ever to come to South East Asia. The Malaysians even call them the orang asli – the original people. They came with the first wave of people to leave Africa. South East Asia was mainly Negrito 5,000 years ago but now only pockets of them are left here and there. Like the American Indians in North America.

If you look at people’s mitochondrial DNA you can not only build a family tree of all mankind, you can also piece together when and how humans spread across the earth.

Most Negritos who have had their DNA tested turn out to have the same mitochondrial DNA as the people in southern India, New Guinea and Australia: haplogroup M, the first to leave Africa. They left about 50,000 years ago, following the coast of the Indian Ocean and then spreading inland. This gave rise to:

* India: Dravidians
* South East Asia: Negritos
* New Guinea: Papuans, Melanesians
* Australia: Aboriginals
* South America: palaeoindians of 30,000 years ago

Every branch of mankind started out in Africa and started out black. But because haplogroup M stayed mostly in the tropics they kept much of their black appearance, like dark skin and flat noses.

It seems that South East Asia is most like Africa so that Negritos changed the least in appearance, unlike, say, the Aboriginals to the south, who changed more (straighter hair, for example).

Negritos, though, did get shorter. That might be due to island dwarfing: most Negritos who remain live on islands where food is limited, which gives short height an advantage.

Filipinios were also the first "asians" to migrate to U.S. I believe it was somewhere in Louisiana. Nigga!

Manila Village, USA


As presented in the excellent PBS documentary series Ancestors in the Americas, the first Asians to come to the western hemisphere were Chinese Filipinos who settled in Mexico. Eventually, Filipino sailors were the first to settle in the U.S. around 1750 in what would later be Louisiana. Later around 1840, to make up for the shortage of slaves from Africa, the British and Spanish brought over slaves or "coolies" from China, India, and the Philippines to islands in the Caribbean, Peru, Ecuador, and other countries in South America.


However, the first large-scale immigration of Asians into the U.S. didn't happen until 1848. Around that time and as you may remember from your history classes, gold was discovered in America. Lured by tales and dreams of making it rich on "Gold Mountain" (which became the Chinese nickname for California), The Gold Rush was one of the pull factors that led many Chinese to come to the U.S. to find their fortune and return home rich and wealthy.

Most of these early Chinese workers were from the Guangdong (also called Canton) province in China. However, there were also push factors that drove many to want to leave China. The most important factor was economic hardship due to the growing British dominance over China, after Britain defeated China in the Opium War of 1839-1842.
