"Filipinas have always been loved by guys of all races. They and Hawaiian Polynesian women are among some of the most beautiful in this world."
- United Asians

Hey, I think other men like Filipinas and Hawaiians so much because they are so likely to , or almost EAGER to marry out. In other words, they are seen as easy or a sure bet. That's why I think they are so popular. Less resistance, less inertia. Guaranteed pussy. I feel sorry for Filipino guys. It's true you know... I'm glad the problem isnt as bad with Koreans.

J Lee:

The dry earwax frequency shows that Northern Chinese are genetically closer to Koreans and Japanese than to Southern Chinese.

NO wonder Koreans and some Chinese hate each other.

Before anyone gets confused, BO and earwax isn't a DEFINITE determining device to see your ethnic. It COULD be an indication. Even though MOST han has dry earwax, that is probably because there is a good reason to have it. Whites and Blacks have dry earwax too, 20% of them do.

You want to know something? The Chinese origin or evolution was not only the Mongols, Manchus, Turks, Arabs, Siberians, and other minorities that settled in China. During the Xia dynasty, the African peoples came there, too. That is interesting to me.

Asian Bubba,

Right on bro. I"m Korean, and I totally consider Filipinos Asian. But I have met some Filipino/a s who told me that they werent Asian. Ah.... I guess there are self haters in every nationality. Hehe..

In my case I have never seen Chinese (even the northern ones) nor Vietnamese to fit the Classical Mongoloid mold.

Koreans fit it, so are they the most pure Asians? Get outta here...

Japanese fit the description too, but their faces are not round enough to be Classical Mongoloid.

"Filipinas have always been loved by guys of all races. They and Hawaiian Polynesian women are among some of the most beautiful in this world."

Hell yeah! YOu definitely got that right! Them fly Pinays rule!

"I once worked with people from Spain and they have the lowest opinion of Mexicans and Central Americans."

Hmm... well, in Central America, in countries like Guatemala, much of the land is owned by rich, pure bred Spaniards, and not the native "ladino" (not to be confused with "latino"). The natives are hard working subsistence labor. A lot of the Spaniards you meet in the states are by way of Central America, not directly from Spain.

However, when you think of Latin culture, most of it seems to come from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, not Spain itself. For instance, dances such as salsa, lambada, tango, etc. are all from this region. When you think of fly Latinas, you think of Salma Hayek (Mexican), J. Lo (Puerto Rican), Marisa Ramirez (Mexican), Lisa Guerrero (Mexican). I doubt Spaniards have a low opinion of them.

What does this have to do with anything? Are you stupid? Your offended b/c and he's just stating his opinion and experience [most of it is btw true but not all] regarding filipino and you happen to be his target.
Then you went further and I quote, "I have a BS in engineering and an MBA.. I am also a commissioned officer in the mighty US Army.". The speech or comment you made above does not show that your an educated individual. It's just shows ignorance and stupidity.

Not to knock the Filipinos for I have met very few. I was wondering if your country's literacy rate is so high and people so bright why can't you develop your economies like the East Asians?
Or at least develop a higher educational facilities for your students?
Regarding Filipinas,personally I don't like Filipinas images I've seen, they have no pride in being Filipinas or as Asians. They seem more ghetto than other Asians. Just my observations.

The best indicator of Yellow Race should be facial features, skull size, hair type and of course, skin color.

To, the traveller;

"We do not, unfortunately, have any census figures for the population of Jiaozhi commandery under the Later Han dynasty, but in 2 AD there were almost three quarters of a million people registered, more than in all the rest of the province put together, and it seems certain that the number of inhabitants must have reached above a million during the second century AD."

That is the only passage in your site that even mentions anything about a population 3/4 of a million. It mentions nothing of 3/4 of a million being of the han population. In the 2 AD there were close to 3/4 of a million people in the area of JiaoZhi, which is present day north vietnam. It talks about registered population, and from my knowledge, being registered doesn't mean your an immigrant. Throughout the entire site it speaks not of any immigrations, only population growth. Population growth usually is due to high birth rate.

The preservation of the vietnamese language is proof, or atleast logical proof, that the base population of which they spoke about must have been viet. Due to the rather large viet population, it was harder to convert these people from viet loyalty to true chinese royal house loyalty. Hence the reason for the wars in between the years of rule by china, which is supported by the majority of the villagers, hence the reason why these particular men are passed down through oral history and written history as heros who fought for their nation, vietnam and not china. Here's a thought, if that site meant that there were 3/4 of a million Han, then how did these people end up using the vietnamese language? Also how did these people suddenly put their loyalty towards the Hung Vuong era (brought up by the Trung sisters)? If the population was 3/4 of a million Han, which at that time was the entire population, then the chinese language would have been universal, and the loyalty to the royal house would have been also. The vietnamese loyalty would be diminished and then died off except for a few tribes, but in Vietnams case a few tribes went up to the mountains to preserve their people (now Muong, hence the physical similarities and the language similarities), while even the people who stayed near the cities stayed loyal to the people.

Did you even think of that? Plus the site was saying 3/4 of a million people in the region, not 3/4 of a million han in the region. DON'T try to twist the words of the site to support an already dead idea. BUT the last sentence was true. The cultural influence from china is undeniable, because it was enforced by law and brutality, we all know that. But even then it was resisted, hence we're not fully sinicized, but still stood true to our ancestry or our original loyalty.

Your reading is very flawed, how did you get 3/4 of a million han? That's an overexaggeration, it says that in total in 2 AD, the total population registered equal 3/4 of a million.

In that site it speaks that the main loyalty to the royal chinese house was from the chinese immigrants. Which weren't very large, hence the reason why they ended up using vietnamese, and ended up with vietnamese loyalty. If the majority of the people were han, and the loyalty was where it was described, the vietnamese language and loyalty would have been gone.

And are you a coward? You pop in once in a while to post non-sense, and when someone picks up a flaw you don't reply to support it. Tell me why i am wrong! Tell me why your right! Because i don't see it! So show me!

J Lee,

what are you aiming at (in between the lines) when you mention the expression "full member of the Yellow race"?

(Evolution went that way: from purely brown skin to yellowish-brown skin to yellow skin.)

Your thesis indicates racial mixing as the cause of the different degrees to which dry earwax is found?

The example of blood samples from different parts of Spain has shown that a sample has to contain the whole population. As for Spain they found out mostly A-type blood in regions with strongly Celtic influence, in other region predominately 0-type blood of Berber origin. The same for Matsunaga's "Germans" and "American whites". Depending on how relevant for whom the sample is it might also indicate less than you expect.

Especially I criticize that most people use the term "Chinese" without a more concrete description which "Chinese" are meant. Unlike some inbred populations of khoisan people in the Namib desert "Chinese" are so heterogenous that they differ from place to place, phenotypically as well as genotypically.

"filipino literacy rate is approximately 95% with a margin of error of 2-4 percent. "
Then how come all the dumb asian kids in my class are filipino??

Not saying that filipinos are incapable of learning, but by comparison, filipino kids just aren't as motivated as the traditional hardcore korean or chinese immigrant kids that were discilpined by their relatively strict parents. Of course there are exceptions, but the majority holds true. Look at any UC, more than half are Asian kids, but only maybe 3-4% are filipinos.
Kevin Tuesday, August 13, 2002 at 15:03:32 (PDT)

Asian Bubba please just stay out of this. admit it, filipinos are inferior to us REAL ASIANS in culture, intelligence, beauty. Thats why your people will always be third world. Filipinos have beeen proven to have a lower IQ than chinese and japanese.

to Hafti,
'Actually more space between toes only means better maneuverablitly'.

Longer second toe doesn't mean your poor, trust me. I know alot more poor white kids who have longer first toes, so what does that mean? White kids are automatically poor because they have longer first toes? NO, there are also rich white kids.

Trust you? Why? You've shown that you are completely without a clue. First off you posted immediately after reading my post which tells me that you have foot data laying across your desk.
Or;
You automatically know folks' toe sizes? How is it that you keep such info? Unless your a fetishist, then my apologies. Otherwise you're talking thru your empty hat. You may want to do a little research before making yourself out to be a fool. As for the first and second toe spaces, you may wish to check the New England Journal Of Medicine. Take your arguments up with them, I wash my hands of you.

To, The TraveLLer;

How come you always post the same useless stuff? Like i said, that site is indicative of population growth, not migrations. All it talks about is in blah blah time they registered how many people already in the area, then two hundred years later they looked at how many people registered again and the population grew.

The thing that is funny with the quotes you provided is that it assumes that population growth is indicative of prosperity. In countries like vietnam where in 1993 it was the third poorest country in the world (when before the war the economy was growing as fast or faster then that of Hong Kong), still had tremendous population growth through births.

Most of these newly registered citizens are from child birth, all your site says is population growth, not indicating if it's from immigration or births. If it doesn't even mention migration, why do you make it a step furthur by calling it han migration? Are you trying to add more to nothing to support a broken fact?
Hafti Tuesday, August 13, 2002 at 14:14:53 (PDT)

To, J Lee;

I thought the dry earwax thing was a joke! It sounded so funny at first because i never heard it before.

So, people can have all of these traits separately right? I am a sinodont, waxy earwax, light asian skin.

Can you tell me if sinodonty is recessive?

I was just wondering, are you sure dry earwax is recessive?

What is the use or advantages in having wet earwax, or dry earwax? Does it really help you so much in a specific environment? Since 80% of whites and blacks have wet earwax, that is then about 20% of whites and blacks with dry. Why this variation? What's the need in it?
Hafti Tuesday, August 13, 2002 at 14:09:57 (PDT)

To, the traveller;

"Correction to those who think that the Han had a small population migrated to Vietnam."

I don't know what your quotes were correcting. Can you describe exactly what they were saying? The first paragraph talks about how the Han forced the locals to become han, and the indicative that they failed would be the word 'attemp'.

Also the evidence is that, if the population growth was from immigrations of han, then the local language would have been less important over the years, as the han population would be more important for business. But then how at the end did the vietnamese, vietnamized the chinese who came in? Because of greater influence, and usually that comes with larger population.

Those sites you gave DOES NOT described HAN MIGRATION, only population growth as i said. I already discussed this.

That entire quotes talk about a population growth, no indication if it was migration at all, never-the-less if it was Han migration.

Your vietnamese you should know vientam's case. In around 1940 there were less then 30 million vietnamese, today there is over 90 million people. A 300% increase, is this also from immigration? If someone wrote an article on how vietnam's population grew in size that way, you would automatically think it's from immigrations? It's actually from birth rate, and i can't believe you don't even think of birth rate.
