Why are East Asian Countries so Ethnically Homogeneous?

- Why are the countries of East Asia so seemingly ethnically homogeneous? Most countries of East Asia, including China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Mongolia have a far more homogeneous or uniform national identity when it comes to a cultural, ethnic and linguistic perspective when compared to other countries of Asia, or even Europe, but why is this the case?
Today we will be looking at the genetic and ethnic history of the region stretching back to antiquity, and how and why many of these East Asian groups came to be in the first place, and what happened to all of the ethnic diversity that may or may not have existed in the first place. Thanks for watching!
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.
I believe that. It’s POSSIBLE.
Indians themselves can't Discover their Own Country's Language. So you people are much better in that case.
@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.
@@JESUSISLORDforevermore888 I mean it is plausible
@@sheeneemee What’s plausible?
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
@@anonrandom7765 exactly
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.
Even in modern times?
I'm so happy this guy said "East Asia" instead of just "Asia." Like there are quite a few morons out there who think that Asia just means China and Japan. They ignore countries like Thailand, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, etc. This guy is smart.
most Americans take "Asia" and "Asian" to mean North/South East Asians. most europeans take "Asia" and "Asian" to include Indians (from India).
Actually most people Says "Asian" referring only to china, Japan and corea because It came from european's perspective, fist europeans had contact only with middle east and índia, latter with china... The same way people like to refer to "the west" by only referring to the west Europe and USA but not referring to latin America, that because they were colonized by those contries...
maybe When latin America and those contries you mentioned get important enogh maybe then people Will speak About they properly.

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.

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.
I am Canadian of European descent. I noticed that Tibetan people looked like inuit people here when I was in Tibet. That land bridge theory seems pretty legit to me
nah they look pretty different by slight details. I can tell.
That is a good pooint, although I think the Inuit have adopted the wider eyes and face more like Mongolians or Northeast Russians than Tibetans.
Maybe it is just a result of convergent evolution of phenotypic conditions under similar conditions
As a korean Inuit resemble korean
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.
They’re not homogeneous, they are just well-mixed diversity. 200 years melting pot versus 5000 years melting pot.
@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! RUclips 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.
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.

And Is- not- real is not multi ethnic. Some nice hypocrisy on your part.
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.

@@oneviwatara9384 Nonsense. When you say the Indochina Peninsula, the Korean Peninsula and Japan were connected by land, it becomes anthropology, not history. 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.

@@oneviwatara9384 The ethnic identity of the people in a particular region cannot be explained by an anthropological approach. You seem to be confusing anthropology with history. 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.

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.
@@yjiang750 I would say it was the same, cultural, especially religious distinction was the most important in Europe also.
Mm it depends for us in Taiwan we aren't too diverse in phenotypes since 98% of us are some variation of han although it can vary since northern han Chinese have slightly different culture then southern Chinese due to climate and geography.
Culturally northeast Asians emphasize on mass-togetherness (conformity) but
western and southern nations emphasize on individualism and distinctiveness.
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.
@@matthewtenorioduenas202 In that case, I believe western heterogeneity will look homogenous to asian as well. It seems not right to judge one group's characteristics based on other groups' view rather than objective indicator.
Because demographics
Ethnic Japanese - 98.4%
Chinse - 0.5%
Korean - 0.4%
Other - 1%
I think anyone would call that homogenous
They do exist, but they're a small minority compared to like 90% Han and are concentrated in Tibet and Xinjiang
Based Korean who understands.
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.
They should stay ethnically homogenous. Don’t let your culture and country be destroyed or changed beyond recognition
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.

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.
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.
It’s pretty ironic that those who couldn’t really tell the difference among Asians are talking about how different northern and southern Chinese are
agree😅

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.

Chinese people have different DNA from Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians, and Manchus.
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.
@@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

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.

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.

The ethnic homogeneity might be due to colonization? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Korea was officially colonized by Japan for less than 40 years at the beginning of 20th century. Korea have been homogenous nation for the last 4 millennia. What are you talking about?
Genetic studies indicate that the Koreans are the mixture of two different populations, 80% from the Yellow River and 20% from the Amur River, the Han Chinese are 95% from the Amur River, the Japanese are 60% from the Yellow River, 31% from the Amur River and 9% Jomon. The living human population with the greatest affinity to the Amur River are the Mongols, perhaps because they better preserve their ancient DNA. Although it is true that the populations of the Yellow River and the Amur River are not that different, they both share an ancestor called ARK19, who lived 19,000 years ago in the Amur River and is considered the ancestor of almost all East Asians.
