WHAT YOU SAY

Ignorance is bliss:
In your case ignorance is pathetic.
Do you recall me saying I'm black ?
Ha. the joke is on you idiot.
I merely assert that every leading antropologist in the world has openly concluded that homo sapien originated in Africa. Adam and more siginifcantly Eve is now discovered to be African.
Pure and simple, not my words but theirs.

To ABC,

I regard myself as "Cantonese", but my origins could have been Hoklo, a seafaring people who settle in various coastal areas of China including Taiwan, Hainan and Southeast Asia.

Not much is known about the Hoklos, unlike the Cantonese such as the Taishan people and the Hakkas, Hoklos don't have record of their ancestors or lineage. Many of them never even heard of the term! There is a website currently being developed to provide information about these people. Since you're Hainanese, you might want to check it out, it's http://www.hoklo.org.

According to some, the Teocheows are a Hoklo breed closely related to the Hainan people. Some of the words spoken by my parents in their village dialect are found in the Teocheow dialect. It mostly "Cantonese" sounding but have some words which are the same with Teocheow. I don't know why? Some Cantonese people think we are Hakka because it sounds like it, but we are not. In my parent's village in China, the Hakkas were our neighbors, usually the Hakkas were in the hills and we were in the lowlands. However, we do come in contact with the Hakkas, there have been intermarriages and some of our people could speak Hakka. During Chinese New Year, we perform the Unicorn Dance and not the Lion Dance, the Unicorn is usually smaller and the performance is less aggressive than that of the Lion, but it does have some similarities. Tell your mom that Unicorn is called "Chi-rin". It's easy to tell the Lion and the Unicorn apart, the Unicorn has a narrow face while the Lion has a broad face.

Ignorance Is Bliss:
If Blacks evolved from monkies, what did your sorry butt evolve from? To be serious, what do you mean we know very little about Africa? I don't understand that comment. Oh yeah, you want to get on knowing about culture history? If you knew your culture's history, you wouldn't have been so quick to make such an evil, racist, malicious, & ignorant comment. We are trying to keep this conversation serious, so grow up or shut up. We don't need you spewing meaningless rubbish & insults. Something tells me that you aren't Asian, anyway.

Ignorance Is Bliss,
Are you nothing more than the White man's puppet or you are a White man trying to start garbage. Which one? Just remember one thing, Asians and Blacks had cities while Whites were walking around in caves. You have been taought so much hate that you can't stand the truth. We are all related. DEAL WITH IT.

Chinese are never united,

The emigration of Chinese overseas has little to do with the dialectal groups conflicts. It has more to do with the fact that southern China traditionally has more mouths than it could feed. It has little good agricultural land. People survive on meager means. That is why the mercantile and trading skills are among the best of this group of Chinese. The people are more sharp tongued and quick witted compared to the docile and stable northerners. Guangzhou and Hong Kong have always been trading cities.

And, you forgot to include the Tanka (boat people) who are the real aboriginal people of Hong Kong.
