WHAT YOU SAY
[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
the toe thing is true but now i've seen very very few viets who have weird toes. about the light skin, i think northern chinese or korean are lighter. but light or dark it's all nice skin. light skin can be beautigful and so is dark skin.

a viet,
it's not that simple. vietnam has as much as 54 ethnics and having a common thing such as being highlander doesn't mean Jay or Nung or hmong people are of the same ethnic. similar to Han being the predominant ethic in china and people of other ethinics living in highland or rural areaas. however, people can move from 1 ethnic to another through generations. a Jay can be called a kinh if his ancestors moved to the regions where kinh live.

a viet,
Kinh is an ethnic in vietnam. the general word to designate vietnamse is vietnamese.Take some history class. the kinh are the dominant ethnic in vietnam and they got most of the lands. other ethnics were pushed to the mountains. and even in northen highlands, the minorities are not the same. there are thai, jao, jay, nung. even in hmong group, people are divided into white hmong and black hmong(they have the same skin tone, a bit dark, white hmong wear white costume and black ones wear black costume, thus the names). obviously some intermarriage btw kinh and people of other ethnics did occur.
but kinh or thai, Jao or nung, they are all viets!!

"Please ask your older generations to find out. Chinese people will not understand when we use the term Kinh. "
if you ask the older generation, the whites will not understand when chinese use the term Han.

"My understanding Kinh people are Vietnamese. According to my Birth Certificate in Vietnam, my nationality is recorded as Kinh (Vietnamese spelling) to distinguish Vietnamese and mountain ethnic people. For example, Vietnamese call Thuong people.
Thuong are the people who live in Central Highlands or Muong (Hmuong in English), Ma’n, Ta`y, Nu`ng living on muontains of northern Vietnam and border of China"
actually tay,nung, ede, giarai, hmong, thai,thuong,etc. are different ethnics in Vietnam. there are 54 ethnics in Vietnam and kinh is the dominant one, similar to han being the dominant ethinc in china living along with more than 50 other ethnics. han live in northeast and south of china and most minorities live in the mountain.

there are more than 50 ethnics in Vietnam. i think kinh is one ethnic. and kinh is not yueh. truth is they are the dominant ethnic thus they get most of the lands. and the other ones are reduced to live in the mountain. however, there was intermingling btw kinh and people of other ethinics thus not all kinh are pure, allthough the majority are not mixed considering the tiny number of minorities in vietnam.

"OK, the genetic studies indicate that southern Han people are genetically forming one cluster with the southeast Asians (Viets, Filipinos, Malays, Thais, etc.)."
There is something that I've always wondered about. If Southern Han people are the result of the mix between Northern Han and the locals in the South (who are similar to the Southeast Asians), then why are they considered to be more similar to Southeast Asians and not intermediate between Southeast Asians and Northern Asians? I've noticed these days that people are always clustering Southern Chinese with Southeast Asians. These geneticists always seem to me to be kind of biased. It makes me think of how in the past British people in the past say that if a British person marries an East Indian then their child is an East Indian. Or if a White person marries another Ethnicity, then the offspring would belong to the other ethnicity. So if a Northern Chinese marries a Southerner, then the child is a Southerner. These geneticist seem racist to me.
