Why can't the Japanese be the largest in the United States outside Japan, because Japanese really love American culture on TV, American movies and English heard in anime, I don't see any popularity of brazilian culture in Japanese mass media and brazil is not an English country that it doesn't make any sense and so many Japanese largely learn English, right? Because America is the first to have the Japanese after the philipines and, before brazil, but since I love the Japanese people thinking there are more in the English speaking countries for a lot of them learning English and move to English countries, but Australia is the closest English country to Japan and I don't know why this didn't get millions so maybe this one should have millions in Australia today of this era, since it's too much money to go to another world of far away English countries like the United States and I"m not sure why Canada didn't get many Japanese and North America should be the largest Japanese ethnic strong presence in the world today of this era, not in latin america and even though peru almost has the largest, but has thousands, but I wouldn't mind there is a large strong ethnic presence majority of Chinese or Koreans in brazil if happened, but the Chinese were in brazil for 200 years and it should have millions by now, right? It's a similar connection how italy has way more anime shows dubbed in italian mass media outside Japan same it's not fair to me that anime shows is not the largest in the English mass media outside Japan, even though there are thousands of Japanese in the west European countries, but no info of the numbers of them in east European countries, but I'm sad my heritage ancestry country don't show any numbers of the Japanese immigrants in Poland, but there are 3 millions of Polish living in brazil, but there are more Polish in the United States like 10 millions of them and secondly I was jealous of brazil for having more Japanese people then in North America and jealous of Italy having more anime dubbed when they are not part of the English world, I wish both cases happened in Poland like the Japanese population and the anime dubbing are both the largest instead italy's mass media and brazil's immigration happened on this world and I want to see more Japanese speak Polish then portuguese and more anime dubbed in Polish then italy, well, I do more think there should been more Japanese immigrants that always learn English as the second language only and more English dubbed anime in the entire English speaking world, not Italian on anime and not brazilian portuguese on the Japanese people, because italy and brazil is not a 6th or 7th countries as English speaking worlds after the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand! For the reason I said about Poland is that the flags are both red and white do you know that? Well, I know Canada, I live in Canada that it's flag is red and white, but the US and England flags all have blue with red and white, but brazil is like bla, the flag has like a grassy green background, yellow diamond shaped like it looks like a boring baseball field with a blue odd circle with outer space stars and on the white that it's like a white paper strip have words on them that I can't even read what it said at first unlike other countries, it seems so far I only seen a brazil flag has a non-English title on it is the only flag that has words on it in the world, but when I said boring baseball I know it was a soccer which boring for me as well, but I hate how I once saw back in 2012 I think I saw a Japan flag has the stars on the sun and a paper stripe too with a none-English words on it which is unbelievable, but it seems to be it's gone now and I hate it that I seen it at first sight, I want to see a mixed Poland and Japan flag together, but when I seen the crossed flags I seen the Poland and Japan flag matched together, but brazil with Japan is not, cus both are completely different colours, I have want to see a korea flag with brazil stars and a paper strap saying the 3 words on a circle of the balance circle the red and white colours are represented, because korea flag has a blue colour like brazil has looks like this c2.staticflickr.com/6/5489/31045641566_588c4b4f46_o.png and that c2.staticflickr.com/6/5697/31081399605_6a83830322_o.png with out red looks like what it's called korizal flag, haha,, unlike china the only way we see the china flag has yellow colours like brazil flag too, china has yellow stars matching brazil's yellow diamond so yup just like I don't mind millions of chinese or koreans speak brazilian portuguese interesting with the mix flags, right?! Okay, back to the Poland and Japan and this is www.tamabi.ac.jp/gurafu/akiyama/SELECTPOSTER/030604_%2012.jpg what the Poland mix with Japan flags will look like, the rising sun rising from the red sea in a bright white sky, hehe!

As a whole yes, but individually no thats the difference. Americas Canadians and so forth can say the same thing that they are a mix of everything as a whole
Theres nothing complex about latino. Its an American ethnicity not a race. It emcompass every back ground. It isnt even used in latin american countries as an identity typical racial terms are. Every latin american country is diverse, but so are non latin american countries as well
Ram THom Yeah but people not a lot of countries mix with different races, even in the US, people still have negative outlook on interracial dating or mixing .... Latin countries on the other hand are vastly mixed! Check out other videos or do more research. ..
You are not Puerto Rican the only way you are Puerto Rican is if you have a mix of Taino Indians Spaniard an African blood . Stop trying to claim my country because you'll never be a Boricua
ragejinraver you’re wrong. Her nationality is puerto rico. Nationality refers to the country in which you a citizen of. I’m Mexican - American. Mexico is where my heritage lies, and I was born and raised in American. I am just as American as she is Puerto Rican. Don’t be an ignorant ass.
@@alondraguzman9952 BS nationality is not where your citizenship is . As a Mexican go live in japan and try to pull that Japanese is just a nationality BS . See what will happen to you . You know damn well am telling the true . It's literally in your blood so stop it I don't know where this new form of thinking came from but it needs to stop
@ragejinraver what you are describing is literally what nationality is. your nationality is where you hold citizenship, but it's not the same as ethnicity which is what you seem to be thinking of. You can be ethnically Japanese, but Mexican in nationality and vise versa. You're just straight up wrong.
Just proves how wrong those people are when they say things like “oh but you don’t look Hispanic, Latin, Dominican, Mexican, etc” like, that’s not really a thing. Even if you look at it reaaally simply: Spanish came to Latin America and brought slaves from Africa, and there’s a HUGE Asian influence in Latin America as well. And some people out here expecting us to all look the same? Loll
Even Hispanic/Latinos that were born in America think they are a race because America made it that way, my mom is Afro Brazilian and one of her friends told her “she couldn’t be both”. To me being Latino means you’re from a Latin country in South America that speaks a Latin language, Spanish or Portuguese, even back than French Canadians were counted as Latinos
It’s interesting to me how there are a few countries in South America and Latin America generally, that are not native Spanish speaking, as well as indigenous societies that are not Spanish speaking, but these lands and groups are oft overlooked. Like: Suriname, French Guyana, Aruba, Belize. And the massive indigenous folk of Peru, Ecuador, Central America, and parts of Mexico, amongst others. And Brazil I guess, although as I understand it, Brazil is felt to be Latino but not Hispanic. Even though Portuguese is a language based in the Iberian Peninsula, which was the historical Roman province of Hispania.
@@richlisola1 Why don't you get educated before commenting? Central America you mentioned? Guatemala is the only country in Central America that has lots of indigenous people, go to El Salvador, Nicaragua or Costa Rica, their entire population is mesticized.
+sandinyourshoes Americans...sorry to say but white people in particular(occasionally black Americans too) view you & treat you worse is you aren't speaking English.... even if you CAN speak English but chose not to at the moment. You get ugly stares and rude remarks way too often. They equate your speaking English with you level of intelligence....it is utterly ridiculous. My dad is (Afro-) Dominican but is a chemical engineer for the Navy.... he has a SLIGHT accent and speaks Spanish as much as he can but gets lots of snide remarks for it...Ignorant white people telling him he's "too stupid" to learn english, meanwhile he speaks 4 languages and they only speak 1. Of course, the Irony is lost on them though.
Great story, I am Japanese Peruvian, Asian Peruvians are like 10% of the population, is the Latin country with more Asian descendants, food is an example of the fusion that occurred, such as Chifa with the Chinese and the Japanese Nikkei.
Tadeo Nakamaru Peru has the largest chinese population. Brazil the largest japanese. São Paulo, Brazil has one of the highest Asian Brazilians rates in the whole country.

Brandon Cheng now I kind of want to see a pic lmao you got me really intrigued. I am Dominican of west African, Portuguese and Native ancestry but born and raised in the island.
Cuba had more Chinese than in the United States. There are three active duty Cuban generals of Chinese descent. Cuba has a monument dedicated to all the Chinese-Cubans that fought against Spain for Independence. Tens of thousands of Chinese also fled to Mexico in the late 1800s and beginning of the 1900s to escape US anti-Chinese racism.
@kr tu - As an absolute number there were more Chinese in Cuba than the US in the latter 19th Century. There were nearly as many Chinese in Mexico, to where many Chinese escaped the terrible racism and indentured servitude in the US. Chinese became very integrated into Cuban and Mexican life largely in markets, restaurants and...laundries. Unfortunately, in the 1930s in Mexico during the Great Depression right-wing Mexican business owners and a Mexican fascist movement called the "Camisas Doradas" (Golden Shirts-sound familiar?) whipped up anti-Chinese racism because the Chinese ran a large percentage of the market stalls in Northern and Central Mexico, and these Mexican businesses wanted to eliminate the competition. Five Mexican states passed anti-miscegination laws making it illegal for Mexicans to marry Chinese. This culminated in armed round ups of thousands of Chinese. Thousands were 'deported' in one night in 1931 and then more to the United States in 1931-32 where they were put in concentration camps, mainly in Arizona. Some were sent to China and others escaped to other parts of the US. Many of the Chinese restaurants in Southwestern USA were established by Chinese deported from Mexico. In Cuba many of the Chinese business people left after the 1959 revolution, many to establish restaurants in New York. But many Chinese working people supported the Cuban revolution and stayed. Today there are three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban armed forces: Armando Choy, Gustavo Chui, and Moises Sio Wong. History is far more rich and complex than the whitewashed versions we are taught. There is also an interesting history of Chinese indentured servants working in Kentucky, USA in the 1840s to allegedly replace slavery. These Chinese workers most likely brought the first steel making to the United States in what became named the "Bessemer" crucible steel method already in practice in China for hundreds of years before Europe or the US started steelmaking. Also, Chinese were hired as sugarcane plantation workers in Mississippi right after the Civil War. Their Afro-Chinese descendents still live there and in Louisiana to this day.
I'm Peruvian and a little italian because of my father , this video is 100% true about Peru . There's a lot of asians living here and made Peru their homeland , Peru is very diverse , we're a mix of different cultures like African , White , Brunette , Indian , Spanish , Italian , Chinese , Japanese , etc . But we are of the same blood and are proud to have been born in this beautiful country , this mix is seen in our food , traditions , celebrations and other things that are a big part of our identity , I had a girlfriend , she was half Peruvian and Chinese , but I broke up with her 2 years ago , anyways I love your video , greetings
I can relate! I am Hmong-Mexican living in the states. It's hard to ever fully relate myself to my ethnic ancestry as I always come across folks who categorize me as a "chinita"
Ahh I'm Peruvian with distant Japanese lineage and this is so extremely cool to learn that it is more common than I could have imagined. representation, it matters. So thank you.
Im Asian Latina by blood - moms side: my grandpa actually from Spain and grandma mestiza Filipino and dads side Asian but I’m born in Canada and raised in America and U.K.! I have a lot of family from my asian side in Brazil.
In my country of Colombia I met a korean guy who lived here most if his life, then emigrated to the States, and now has returned. He is trully an Asian Latino. Peru and Brazil are probably the countries where that particular prescence is the highest.
Felipe Louis Peruvian is a nationality so you can be any race and still be Peruvian. Asian Peruvian, Afro Peruvian, Amerindian Peruvian, White Peruvian, or mixed Peruvian.
The Korean population in Mexico has been increasing since KIA arrived to Mexico, it's amazing seeing that both complex and rich cultures are interested in each other's.
Muy cierto! Primero son peruanos y después su raza/ascendencia. Ellos forman una parte muy importante de la identidad peruana, me di cuenta de eso cuando viví en Lima. Entiendo q a muchos les fastidie el término chinito/a, pero no sentí q la gente allá lo hacía con maldad, más bien es algo cariñoso. Cuando se trata de otros pueblos, la gente peruana en general se muestra un poco reacia en tratar de distinguir a la gente, etc, pero esto está cambiando con las nuevas generaciones. Pero si uno sabe el idioma y aprende la cultura y las costumbres peruanas ... ellos te incluyen, automaticamente eres uno de los suyos, un/a peruano/a más. Los peruanos y los otros latinos son gente muy alegre, te hacen sentir en familia. Ahora vivo en Estados Unidos y francamente pienso q los asiáticos la pasan mejor (los veo más contentos, integrados, con buen caracter, etc) en LATAM q en Norte América.
Liz Figueroa there are many more than people realize. My father is from Mexicali in northern Mexico which had a sizeable Chinese community. In Baja California many Japanese and now Koreans settled there for business. Japanese and Chinese foods are popular there, and it is quite normal to see Mexican Asians. Also in Sao Paulo, Brazil you see many Japanese descendant people. I think this is a group of Latin Americans that have been ignored.
It just realized how much Chinese language we speak in Peru without knowing. Like 'chi fan' = 'eat food' or 'Tai pa' = 'big' or 'plenty' when asking to get well served. Thanks Tinabeth! Another topic: Are you interested in any video contribution from the Int. Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany? This year the Netherlands are the guest of honour.
There's plenty of other words we use such as siyao instead of salsa de soya, tamarindo, and even kion which in spanish is actually gengibre. I believe there's a cantonese word as well for side job which means Peru lol
Great video. I'm Japanese-Brazilian and 2018 is the 110th anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to this country. I remember as a kid reading a weekly magazine in 1978 in which the cover story was "70th anniversary of Japanese immigration in Brazil" and mentioned that "they've come a long way and today there are about 800.000 Japanese immigrants." And as of 2018 we're like almost 3 million. Indeed a long long way. Saludos to all asian latinos around.
Me sorprende que la gente se sorprende (Valga la redundancia) de que en Latino America hay Asiáticos. Siempre me pregunté porque no mencionan a los Asiáticos Latinos más a menudo. En todas mis fotos escolares siempre había uno o dos Dominicanos Asiáticos, mayormente de descendencia China.
En Peru los chinos siguen llegando, las ultimas veces que he visitado Lima, me ha sorprendido la cantidad de chinos con acento al hablar español, un indicador que son nuevos immigrantes.
Diana En eso tienes razón. También hay que recordarles que también hay gente que asume que todos los hispanos son mexicanos y también se ofenden. Por eso debemos de educarlos a respetar a los demás.
I was not in the USA but my Mom was Peruvian. I applied for and took on Peruvian citizenship because I love that country and the beautifully diverse culture it has from the wonderful African to the beautiful Chinese people, Japanese, Koreans. What a fascinating country. I’m so proud of it. Long live harmony and diversity and love for our fellow man.
I am a Mexican citizen of Vietnamese parents. I think the problem really is that the US puts all its identity into ancestry. In Latin America, we who are of Asian ancestry walk around in rich neighborhoods and in poor neighborhoods and in all places inbetween and even though we look different, we don't feel we stand out because nobody says anything different, glances over, nor gets surprised if we speak Spanish or anything and in businesses we are just one more customer. It only gets surprising or shocking in the United States because of all the racial or ethnic blocs and classifications.
I love this! My grandpa was adopted by a Chinese family in Cuba and Asian culture in the Caribbean is so underrated I wish I could trace our roots back to China like her
Interesting. 👍👍 He reminds me of Alberto Fujimori. He was the President of Peru for 10 years. He has Japanese parents who had him in Lima. Aside from Peru, Brazil also has a significant population of Asians (Japanese), esp. in Liberdade.
I actually found out that from both of my parents side I have Philippines decedent. I'm Mexican and I was surprise but at the same time not since I know a lot of Asian people live in Mexico. My moms friend great grandfather was Chinese but end up marrying her great grandma who was Mexican. I'm sure a lot of us might have relatives in Asian countries.

Most Latinos around the US are mostly thought as Mexican Mestizos to a lesser extent Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, or El Salvadorian. While that is true that the majority of them are Mestizos that there are also White ones, Black Ones, Asian Ones, Arab Ones, Indian Ones, Native American Ones, and more
My parents are from Mexico but their grandparents are from Spain, France, and China 🙂 I don't much about them but it would be cool if I could trace back my family history like those people in the video did.
You might be able to using ancestry.com -- they have a world section which researches other countries outside of the U.S. --I'm noy sure how good that part is since I've only used the site for US based searches but it might be worth a shot!
I am half Cuban and Puerto Rican. But I have a amount of korean from Puerto Rico that has a long history. And it is true that Asians came from Manila Galleon trade hundreds of years ago and not only Filipinos, but Filipinos were the major first asians latinos but not necessarily.
Gracias por este maravilloso video. Thank you for mentioning Filipinos and the Manila Galleons in this video. I've seen several news pieces over the years about Latin Asians but none of them mention my community, which is a shock. We were a colony of Spain for more than 300 years, governed through Mexico City during the first 200 years. There is a Spanish Creole language called Chabacano that is spoken in the Philippines today, which is a testament to our shared history with our Latin American cousins across the Pacific. Abrazos.
Philippine history describes little about Spanish government. The history is focused on struggle of Filipinos against Spain. The galleon trade in the video is eye-opener to know more about trade business during those times.
because AMERICANS want to destroy Spanish colony and they want it. They glorified Noli and Feli as a propaganda more to destroy Catholicism so that their MADE In USA religion will come to create hate and disunity among Christian faith. AMERICANS TO BLAME! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO ALL MADNESS!

Danz Castellòn You can move to Brazil but remember Brazil is going through some shit right now so it's best not to go until things get better. There is a place name Okinawa Prefecture located in southern Japan. The Japanese down there are more open to mixed relationships and marriages because of the American influence and they also have a military base where American men dating and having kids with Japanese women. If I'm not mistaking I think Okinawa Prefecture has the largest Hafu (half Japanese) in all of Japan.
Hey living, working in NYC is a pot of the world. In the Bronx there was a restaurant that served Chinese food but they also served Cuban food and the severs spoke Spanish, they were Chinese Cuban spoke Chinese also...
Funny you've said that....where I come from, Hispanic (CA) talk lots of smack about Asians. But then again, every race talk shit about another race. I love my Mexicans, then again I love Hong Kong in TJ.
The very first time I met a Peruvian who was of Chinese descent was in 2004.I was working for a company inside a building(from 2003-2005).A vendor had a small shop at the bottom/1st floor selling Peruvian jewelries.One day I was visiting his shop and I remember he told me his grandfather immigrated from China to Peru during the 1930's.His father was born and raise in Peru few years later and he was 2nd generation Peruvian-Chinese born during the early '60s.When I look closer at him,he does have almond eyes and far east black texture hair.But his facial bone structure look had a South American/Peruvian appearance and I don't think he said he was half breed and his name tag had a Chinese descent last name.It reminded me back in 2001,I had a neighbor at a condominium I was living at.She said she is originally from the country of Chile and moved to U.S. few years earlier in the late 1990's.But her parents moved there from England in the '50's.She was born and raise in Chile.You can tell she had a British/English descent look but with a Chilean/South American facial features.She still had an English/Anglo last name with blonde hair but when she spoke her English it had a Latina-Hispanic accent.What I do believe,a country's atmoshpere,landscape,terrain does some development when people are babies.
This is a really interesting documentary!! I'm latino and I never knew there were so many asian latinos. It sucks that asian latinos are not represented in spanish media..
"It sucks that asian latinos are not represented in spanish media.." Asian Latinos get plenty of representation in Latin American media. So many celebrities that are both full blooded and mixed, which the latter is when the father is usually the Asian one.
I grew up in a Korean church in Texas, USA and one my of children's ministry pastors was from Argentina. She was always in charge of the Yucatan, Mexico mission trips because of her connections with the Spanish language etc. In youth group, there were two sisters who were from Brazil. I was aware there was an asian demographic in Latin America, but I didn't know that it was really big.
I speak English , Portuguese and Spanish but my physical looks are of a native american mixed with asian looks. Sometimes people think I'm Mexican , other times they think I'm Asian ...
In Mexico City there’s a large Korean and Japanese community and in Baja there’s a Chinese community and many of the Chinese Mexicans can trace their ancestry to the California gold rush.
I grew up with a half Polish-Jewish, half Mexican mother and a half Russian-Kazakh, half Taiwanese father. For me, I grew up with my mom, so I always identified with my Jewish and Mexican heritage. However, nowadays, I identify a lot more with my Taiwanese family as I finally got to meet them not long ago. But it’s weird, you know. Since both of my parents are half white, those genes met in me. Blue eyes, brown hair, light skin. Really the only Asian I have in me is in my face structures, and the Spanish side is pretty much impossible to notice. But I feel proud of all of it, knowing my family all struggled like hell two generations ago, fleeing countries and marrying other refugees to get where we are now.
My family is from Paraguay- my mom's best friends in Catholic school were japanese, korean and german, in the 60s and 70s. When we moved up here we've met a couple korean people who have emigrated specifically from paraguay. It's a tiny, tiny, small world.
I am full Peruvian and this is so interesting. I never thought Asian culture would be so present in my country! And I guess that explains why some people believe that I'm part asian even though I technically am not haha
+Eurasian Writer, Sir, you are 100% right. Genetic studies show that Amerindians are an offshoot of the Asiatic N family, so, yes, technically many Hispanics/Latinos are all or almost or half Asian or have some Asian admixture in their DNA along with that of other races (it varies from person to person). It's just that this information is not well-known down south. Many people know they are mixed but they don't really know what they are exactly, hence the ignorance. Plus, as I write, DNA testing, what we have here in North America (AncestryDNA, FTDNA, 23andme, etc.), is not available in LATAM. I believe that as soon as it becomes available to the LATAM masses, perceptions will start to change. Latinos as a whole will become more aware of who they really are and this may help to reduce or even eradicate their racism towards each other ... their self-hate (we can always hope!). Thanks for posting this comment.
Crazy coincidence, I actually just recently uploaded a video about Peru and mentioned in there it's the country (at least in Hispanic America) that has the most Asians both in numbers and as percentage of population.
Im Dominican and Taiwanese and this is such a cool video! I absolutely hate how in Latin America, all Asians are referred to as “chino or China”. I find it disrespectful because it’s almost never used in a positive light.
The one exception to this is the Portuguese-speaking country of Brazil. Asians there are usually "Japanese," regardless whether they are of Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, or Korean origin. But to illustrate your point: Argentine actress María Eugenia Suárez is now more popularly known by her nickname, "la China" Suárez, even though she is actually 1/4 Japanese. Suárez's late Nisei Argentine ("second generation Japanese Argentinian") maternal grandmother was Seiko Mitsumori. La China Suárez's username on Instagram is "sangrejaponesa," or "Japanese blood" - a tribute to her Japanese heritage.
¡Muchísimas gracias por este video! Soy profesora de español y siempre estoy buscando videos sobre la diversidad de latinos y nunca había visto ningún video sobre los latinos asiáticos. ¡Bendiciones!
50% Asian (Korean, Filipino, Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Cambodian as far as I know) 25% Latino(Peruvian, Salvadoran, Puerto Rican, Colombia, and Bolivian) 25% European ( Italian, French, Portuguese, Croatian, and Spanish) and 100% proud of my beautiful cultures 😍❤️❤️❤️
In Panama we have a lot of Chinese people from China and their Spanish is so good so yes it’s not rare :3 specially when people migrate to help the Panama Canal
In my family there's asian genes but my grandparents don't know where it came from, some of my family members say we have korean descent others say it's japanese
felicitaciones por este reportaje, en SUDAMERICA, principalmente en Peru y Brazil la colonia asiatica es enorme, y su integracion ha sido un exito, en Peru se dice que el 10% tiene sangre asiatica (nikei y tusan).
Excuse me, it is not an obsession. It is everyone's right to know one's culture and roots to know who you really are.I am not interested in latino and it's culture. But it happens that my father is from Spain and his parents. Embracing and knowing one's culture and heritage is not an obsession.
***** I am not saying I am Latino. Don't make a generalization about filipinos claiming being latino. That is their call. If you have problem with them, deal with them, not with me. I am an american citizen. And you need to learn how to construct your thoughts in proper English before you open your foul mouth and become a keyboard warrior. You are a disgrace to your latino people! Eres mal educado!
Yo soy de padres Chinos, nacido y criado en Venezuela 🇻🇪 y estudié en la Universidad de California, así que hablo 3 idiomas también. When i went to college in California, i got to meet a lot of Latin Asians from diferente countries, it was so interesting, so much so that i met and married the love of my life, she is Chinese born and raised in Panamá 🇵🇦, small world. Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
My mother's immediate family moved from Taiwan to Spain before coming to north America so I have a connection to Spain and Latin music. I have distant relatives in Spain
In Dominican Republic we have a China town my grandmother last name was then they said she was have Chinese I look Filipinos,my children are half Peruvian so they look Asian my grandchildren too🇩🇴🎎🎎
I am from Texas and I know Asian/Hispanic mixed people for example my older sister is Japanese/Filipinos/Polynesian/Spanish descent born in Brownsville Tx,(from my mother's first marriage)my bestfriend her children are Mexican/Vietnamese mixed born in Charolette,NC. My man is Polynesian/Filipino mixed born in Makakilo,HI.
Yo soy Mexicano de ascendencia Japonesa... Mi madre nacio en Oaxaca México.. Donde predomina mas la raza Japonesa y Coreana .. En Verdad mis mejores amigos han sido de estos 2 paises a pesar de que no luzco muy asiatico
J - LB no, descendencia es lo que todos tenemos o tendremos luego de tener hijos, por el contrario ascendencia son los ancestros. La RAE lo define así: ascendencia 1. f. Serie de ascendientes o antecesores de alguien. 2. f. Origen, procedencia de algo. descendencia Del lat. descendens, -entis 'descendiente'. 1. f. Conjunto de hijos, nietos y demás generaciones sucesivas por línea recta descendente. 2. f. Casta, linaje, estirpe.
My family always have been mistaken as Mexicans or Other Hispanics haha. But we are Filipinos from the Visayas who migrated to the USA. VIVA FILIPINAS 🇵🇭✊💯
Your Latin blood is strong! I’m Filipino also but I get mistaken for other types of asian’s because I’m light skinned, whereas my older brother looks very Filipino cause he’s hella dark (almost black lol) and short and my younger brother gets mistaken for a Hispanic cause he’s tan skinned.
Abigail Andrade not all Hispanics are tan. There are millions of white and blacks Hispanics but the average Filipino like you looks Chinese. I wouldn’t confuse you for Hispanic., thai or Taiwanese maybe
Viking Rollo - You should re-read what I wrote cause your response is off. The average Filipino does not look Chinese, completely off. That’s usually the uneducated person’s response.

Brazil has the largest japanese population in Latin America.
Even more, Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan, in the world!
Why can't the Japanese be the largest in the United States outside Japan, because Japanese really love American culture on TV, American movies and English heard in anime, I don't see any popularity of brazilian culture in Japanese mass media and brazil is not an English country that it doesn't make any sense and so many Japanese largely learn English, right?
Because America is the first to have the Japanese after the philipines and, before brazil, but since I love the Japanese people thinking there are more in the English speaking countries for a lot of them learning English and move to English countries, but Australia is the closest English country to Japan and I don't know why this didn't get millions so maybe this one should have millions in Australia today of this era, since it's too much money to go to another world of far away English countries like the United States and I"m not sure why Canada didn't get many Japanese and North America should be the largest Japanese ethnic strong presence in the world today of this era, not in latin america and even though peru almost has the largest, but has thousands, but I wouldn't mind there is a large strong ethnic presence majority of Chinese or Koreans in brazil if happened, but the Chinese were in brazil for 200 years and it should have millions by now, right?
It's a similar connection how italy has way more anime shows dubbed in italian mass media outside Japan same it's not fair to me that anime shows is not the largest in the English mass media outside Japan, even though there are thousands of Japanese in the west European countries, but no info of the numbers of them in east European countries, but I'm sad my heritage ancestry country don't show any numbers of the Japanese immigrants in Poland, but there are 3 millions of Polish living in brazil, but there are more Polish in the United States like 10 millions of them and secondly I was jealous of brazil for having more Japanese people then in North America and jealous of Italy having more anime dubbed when they are not part of the English world, I wish both cases happened in Poland like the Japanese population and the anime dubbing are both the largest instead italy's mass media and brazil's immigration happened on this world and I want to see more Japanese speak Polish then portuguese and more anime dubbed in Polish then italy, well, I do more think there should been more Japanese immigrants that always learn English as the second language only and more English dubbed anime in the entire English speaking world, not Italian on anime and not brazilian portuguese on the Japanese people, because italy and brazil is not a 6th or 7th countries as English speaking worlds after the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand!
For the reason I said about Poland is that the flags are both red and white do you know that?
Well, I know Canada, I live in Canada that it's flag is red and white, but the US and England flags all have blue with red and white, but brazil is like bla, the flag has like a grassy green background, yellow diamond shaped like it looks like a boring baseball field with a blue odd circle with outer space stars and on the white that it's like a white paper strip have words on them that I can't even read what it said at first unlike other countries, it seems so far I only seen a brazil flag has a non-English title on it is the only flag that has words on it in the world, but when I said boring baseball I know it was a soccer which boring for me as well, but I hate how I once saw back in 2012 I think I saw a Japan flag has the stars on the sun and a paper stripe too with a none-English words on it which is unbelievable, but it seems to be it's gone now and I hate it that I seen it at first sight, I want to see a mixed Poland and Japan flag together, but when I seen the crossed flags I seen the Poland and Japan flag matched together, but brazil with Japan is not, cus both are completely different colours, I have want to see a korea flag with brazil stars and a paper strap saying the 3 words on a circle of the balance circle the red and white colours are represented, because korea flag has a blue colour like brazil has looks like this c2.staticflickr.com/6/5489/31045641566_588c4b4f46_o.png and that c2.staticflickr.com/6/5697/31081399605_6a83830322_o.png with out red looks like what it's called korizal flag, haha,, unlike china the only way we see the china flag has yellow colours like brazil flag too, china has yellow stars matching brazil's yellow diamond so yup just like I don't mind millions of chinese or koreans speak brazilian portuguese interesting with the mix flags, right?!
Okay, back to the Poland and Japan and this is www.tamabi.ac.jp/gurafu/akiyama/SELECTPOSTER/030604_%2012.jpg what the Poland mix with Japan flags will look like, the rising sun rising from the red sea in a bright white sky, hehe!

I feel depressed sometimes on this era that there are less Japanese in America then in brazil, because America is the real large Japanese community home of the Japanese people outside Japan in the international English world as the same case with the large Polish community home of the Polish people that are less in brazil and more in America!
I think there talking about percentage rather than population. 10% is more than 2%.
I don't know about that, did you read my full paragraphs by viewing more?
This shows how complex we Latinos are. We are a mix of everything.
As a whole yes, but individually no thats the difference. Americas Canadians and so forth can say the same thing that they are a mix of everything as a whole
Theres nothing complex about latino. Its an American ethnicity not a race. It emcompass every back ground.
It isnt even used in latin american countries as an identity typical racial terms are.
Every latin american country is diverse, but so are non latin american countries as well
Ram THom Yeah but people not a lot of countries mix with different races, even in the US, people still have negative outlook on interracial dating or mixing .... Latin countries on the other hand are vastly mixed! Check out other videos or do more research. ..
Spanish is the most widely spoken language in the entire World !
El español es la lengua más hablada en el mundo ! 😜😊❤
I'm Puerto Rican did my ancestry I have alot of stuff the biggest percentage was European, African,Indian with a little middle eastern and east Asian
Ethnically I'm Asian, but my nationality is Puerto Rican
You are not Puerto Rican the only way you are Puerto Rican is if you have a mix of Taino Indians Spaniard an African blood . Stop trying to claim my country because you'll never be a Boricua
@ragejinraver zam what's your problem
ragejinraver you’re wrong. Her nationality is puerto rico. Nationality refers to the country in which you a citizen of. I’m Mexican - American. Mexico is where my heritage lies, and I was born and raised in American. I am just as American as she is Puerto Rican. Don’t be an ignorant ass.
@@alondraguzman9952 BS nationality is not where your citizenship is . As a Mexican go live in japan and try to pull that Japanese is just a nationality BS . See what will happen to you . You know damn well am telling the true . It's literally in your blood so stop it I don't know where this new form of thinking came from but it needs to stop
@ragejinraver what you are describing is literally what nationality is. your nationality is where you hold citizenship, but it's not the same as ethnicity which is what you seem to be thinking of. You can be ethnically Japanese, but Mexican in nationality and vise versa. You're just straight up wrong.
reminds me of Bruno mars half puerto rican half filipino
Yep
Bruno Mars
Just proves how wrong those people are when they say things like “oh but you don’t look Hispanic, Latin, Dominican, Mexican, etc” like, that’s not really a thing. Even if you look at it reaaally simply: Spanish came to Latin America and brought slaves from Africa, and there’s a HUGE Asian influence in Latin America as well. And some people out here expecting us to all look the same? Loll
Even Hispanic/Latinos that were born in America think they are a race because America made it that way, my mom is Afro Brazilian and one of her friends told her “she couldn’t be both”. To me being Latino means you’re from a Latin country in South America that speaks a Latin language, Spanish or Portuguese, even back than French Canadians were counted as Latinos
Honestly being Hispanic is like joing this amazing club where you can relate to things and anyone can enter
It’s interesting to me how there are a few countries in South America and Latin America generally, that are not native Spanish speaking, as well as indigenous societies that are not Spanish speaking, but these lands and groups are oft overlooked.
Like: Suriname, French Guyana, Aruba, Belize. And the massive indigenous folk of Peru, Ecuador, Central America, and parts of Mexico, amongst others.
And Brazil I guess, although as I understand it, Brazil is felt to be Latino but not Hispanic. Even though Portuguese is a language based in the Iberian Peninsula, which was the historical Roman province of Hispania.
@@richlisola1 Why don't you get educated before commenting? Central America you mentioned? Guatemala is the only country in Central America that has lots of indigenous people, go to El Salvador, Nicaragua or Costa Rica, their entire population is mesticized.

+sandinyourshoes Americans...sorry to say but white people in particular(occasionally black Americans too) view you & treat you worse is you aren't speaking English.... even if you CAN speak English but chose not to at the moment. You get ugly stares and rude remarks way too often. They equate your speaking English with you level of intelligence....it is utterly ridiculous.
My dad is (Afro-) Dominican but is a chemical engineer for the Navy.... he has a SLIGHT accent and speaks Spanish as much as he can but gets lots of snide remarks for it...Ignorant white people telling him he's "too stupid" to learn english, meanwhile he speaks 4 languages and they only speak 1. Of course, the Irony is lost on them though.

Cuba had more Chinese than in the United States. There are three active duty Cuban generals of Chinese descent. Cuba has a monument dedicated to all the Chinese-Cubans that fought against Spain for Independence.
Tens of thousands of Chinese also fled to Mexico in the late 1800s and beginning of the 1900s to escape US anti-Chinese racism.
Thanks for that info!! Very cool!!
True. President Batista had Chinese genes.
@@LS-dp2gs - Actually it was the dictator Bastista, not an elected president. Yes he was a jabao.
A R true. He was a dictator.
@kr tu - As an absolute number there were more Chinese in Cuba than the US in the latter 19th Century. There were nearly as many Chinese in Mexico, to where many Chinese escaped the terrible racism and indentured servitude in the US. Chinese became very integrated into Cuban and Mexican life largely in markets, restaurants and...laundries.
Unfortunately, in the 1930s in Mexico during the Great Depression right-wing Mexican business owners and a Mexican fascist movement called the "Camisas Doradas" (Golden Shirts-sound familiar?) whipped up anti-Chinese racism because the Chinese ran a large percentage of the market stalls in Northern and Central Mexico, and these Mexican businesses wanted to eliminate the competition. Five Mexican states passed anti-miscegination laws making it illegal for Mexicans to marry Chinese. This culminated in armed round ups of thousands of Chinese. Thousands were 'deported' in one night in 1931 and then more to the United States in 1931-32 where they were put in concentration camps, mainly in Arizona. Some were sent to China and others escaped to other parts of the US. Many of the Chinese restaurants in Southwestern USA were established by Chinese deported from Mexico.
In Cuba many of the Chinese business people left after the 1959 revolution, many to establish restaurants in New York. But many Chinese working people supported the Cuban revolution and stayed. Today there are three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban armed forces: Armando Choy, Gustavo Chui, and Moises Sio Wong.
History is far more rich and complex than the whitewashed versions we are taught.
There is also an interesting history of Chinese indentured servants working in Kentucky, USA in the 1840s to allegedly replace slavery. These Chinese workers most likely brought the first steel making to the United States in what became named the "Bessemer" crucible steel method already in practice in China for hundreds of years before Europe or the US started steelmaking.
Also, Chinese were hired as sugarcane plantation workers in Mississippi right after the Civil War. Their Afro-Chinese descendents still live there and in Louisiana to this day.
I'm Peruvian and a little italian because of my father , this video is 100% true about Peru . There's a lot of asians living here and made Peru their homeland , Peru is very diverse , we're a mix of different cultures like African , White , Brunette , Indian , Spanish , Italian , Chinese , Japanese , etc . But we are of the same blood and are proud to have been born in this beautiful country , this mix is seen in our food , traditions , celebrations and other things that are a big part of our identity , I had a girlfriend , she was half Peruvian and Chinese , but I broke up with her 2 years ago , anyways I love your video , greetings

En Perú al menos en Lima los chinos o japoneses no se sienten extranjeros.
+xatanos - Amen, son parte importante de nuestra cultura, nuestra identidad, son tan peruanos como la papa a la huancaina.
Muy cierto! Primero son peruanos y después su raza/ascendencia. Ellos forman una parte muy importante de la identidad peruana, me di cuenta de eso cuando viví en Lima. Entiendo q a muchos les fastidie el término chinito/a, pero no sentí q la gente allá lo hacía con maldad, más bien es algo cariñoso. Cuando se trata de otros pueblos, la gente peruana en general se muestra un poco reacia en tratar de distinguir a la gente, etc, pero esto está cambiando con las nuevas generaciones. Pero si uno sabe el idioma y aprende la cultura y las costumbres peruanas ... ellos te incluyen, automaticamente eres uno de los suyos, un/a peruano/a más. Los peruanos y los otros latinos son gente muy alegre, te hacen sentir en familia.
Ahora vivo en Estados Unidos y francamente pienso q los asiáticos la pasan mejor (los veo más contentos, integrados, con buen caracter, etc) en LATAM q en Norte América.
xatanos Peru es el país latinoamericano con más descendientes asiáticos.
Espero que no...para empezar porque NO SON extranjeros. Son peruanos.
A menos que seas chifero
This video was incredibly inspiring. Growing up mixed with Korean and Puerto Rican roots, I didn't know how many other Latin/Asian mixes there were.
Liz Figueroa there are many more than people realize. My father is from Mexicali in northern Mexico which had a sizeable Chinese community. In Baja California many Japanese and now Koreans settled there for business. Japanese and Chinese foods are popular there, and it is quite normal to see Mexican Asians. Also in Sao Paulo, Brazil you see many Japanese descendant people. I think this is a group of Latin Americans that have been ignored.
One small correction. The largest Asian community in Latin America is in Brazil, especially those of Japanese descent.
Japanese Peruvian fusion is such a strong combination.
1:38 That's how tomatoes and corn arrived in China, from Mexico through the Philippines. They're now part of Chinese cuisine.

It just realized how much Chinese language we speak in Peru without knowing. Like 'chi fan' = 'eat food' or 'Tai pa' = 'big' or 'plenty' when asking to get well served. Thanks Tinabeth! Another topic: Are you interested in any video contribution from the Int. Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany? This year the Netherlands are the guest of honour.
Thanks for watching the video!! I really appreciate it!! I'll reach out to you via your cuba film website regarding Germany! 'Thanks again!
There's plenty of other words we use such as siyao instead of salsa de soya, tamarindo, and even kion which in spanish is actually gengibre.
I believe there's a cantonese word as well for side job which means Peru lol
Great video. I'm Japanese-Brazilian and 2018 is the 110th anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to this country. I remember as a kid reading a weekly magazine in 1978 in which the cover story was "70th anniversary of Japanese immigration in Brazil" and mentioned that "they've come a long way and today there are about 800.000 Japanese immigrants." And as of 2018 we're like almost 3 million. Indeed a long long way. Saludos to all asian latinos around.
Me sorprende que la gente se sorprende (Valga la redundancia) de que en Latino America hay Asiáticos. Siempre me pregunté porque no mencionan a los Asiáticos Latinos más a menudo. En todas mis fotos escolares siempre había uno o dos Dominicanos Asiáticos, mayormente de descendencia China.
Soy china-panameña y orgullosa:) 🇵🇦🇨🇳
En Peru los chinos siguen llegando, las ultimas veces que he visitado Lima, me ha sorprendido la cantidad de chinos con acento al hablar español, un indicador que son nuevos immigrantes.
taj400 no somos chinos
D J Son asiáticos
Diana En eso tienes razón. También hay que recordarles que también hay gente que asume que todos los hispanos son mexicanos y también se ofenden. Por eso debemos de educarlos a respetar a los demás.
THIS EXCITES ME SO MUCH! It's so rare that I find people who are Latin and Asian too. Korean and Mexican baby
This is fascinating! I learned something new today. I'm usually stereotyped as white but I'm Puerto Rican. This is a wonderful story.
Thank you Cathy!
simple, you're a white puerto rican
Cathy North Ur cute
Its not a stereotype.
Maybe because puerto rican and white are not comparable ones a race and the other like a national origin smmmh
I was not in the USA but my Mom was Peruvian. I applied for and took on Peruvian citizenship because I love that country and the beautifully diverse culture it has from the wonderful African to the beautiful Chinese people, Japanese, Koreans. What a fascinating country. I’m so proud of it. Long live harmony and diversity and love for our fellow man.
On my dads side I am Mexican Filipino and Korean, on my mother’s side I am Norwegian and I speak all languages! Pero veo tan güera 😂
I am a Mexican citizen of Vietnamese parents. I think the problem really is that the US puts all its identity into ancestry. In Latin America, we who are of Asian ancestry walk around in rich neighborhoods and in poor neighborhoods and in all places inbetween and even though we look different, we don't feel we stand out because nobody says anything different, glances over, nor gets surprised if we speak Spanish or anything and in businesses we are just one more customer. It only gets surprising or shocking in the United States because of all the racial or ethnic blocs and classifications.
There is a huge chinese pop in peru. My chinese church has missionaries over there to reach out to them.
I love this! My grandpa was adopted by a Chinese family in Cuba and Asian culture in the Caribbean is so underrated I wish I could trace our roots back to China like her
Interesting. 👍👍 He reminds me of Alberto Fujimori. He was the President of Peru for 10 years. He has Japanese parents who had him in Lima. Aside from Peru, Brazil also has a significant population of Asians (Japanese), esp. in Liberdade.
I actually found out that from both of my parents side I have Philippines decedent. I'm Mexican and I was surprise but at the same time not since I know a lot of Asian people live in Mexico. My moms friend great grandfather was Chinese but end up marrying her great grandma who was Mexican. I'm sure a lot of us might have relatives in Asian countries.
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT BOTH MY PARENTS MET AT TACO BELL. ISN'T THAT WILD. 😁😁JUST HAS TO PUT A LITTLE HUMOR.

I have a coworker who is Chinese, raised in Costa Rica- so she speaks Spanish fluently and lives in Hawaii now and speaks English fluently. She has a Spanish accent, but is full on Chinese. She speaks Spanish, English and Chinese fluently.
ohh coreano-Dominicano sorprendida RD presente..!
Daniia Mex Hay muchos Koreanos , tambien Chinos, Japoneses y South Asian Indians too.
Como que sorprendida si en RD hay una comunidad Asiática importante desde el siglo 19. Aprende tu historia. No te lo digo por ser odioso. Solo como consejo.
There is a lot of Chinese-Mexicans and Korean-Mexicans in Mexico
I am Colombian and my wife is from the Philippines. Is a wonderful mixed family. I am thankful my family is mixed as i can learn a lot. We live in New Zealand where people tend to mix without much crappy racism
Thanks for sharing Andres! I really appreciate it!!
Peru comes to mind. A lot of Asians especially Japanese made their home in Peru. It is commonplace to find Peruvians who are mixed with Japanese.
me gusto el que dijo soy coreano y dominicano... amo a mi cultura orgullosa de ser latina....
+Li-Ran Matos Gracias Li-Ran! Tambien soy orgullosa!!
Tinabeth Piña y de dónde eres? Puerto Rico?
Most Latinos around the US are mostly thought as Mexican Mestizos to a lesser extent Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, or El Salvadorian. While that is true that the majority of them are Mestizos that there are also White ones, Black Ones, Asian Ones, Arab Ones, Indian Ones, Native American Ones, and more
I'm korean american who grew up in the bronx that has pre-dominantly hispanic people but I feel like I have some hispanic blood in me. haha
nepatriots77 but u don't
nepatriots77 you can't have Hispanic blood bc that isn't a race. It's more of a cultural thing
Predominantly hispanic?
Welcome to the family, the Hispanic family. People are so much more alike than you'll ever know.
You have Hispanic friends and Hispanic are around yoy
That explains why some Peruvian restaurants serve fried rice
My parents are from Mexico but their grandparents are from Spain, France, and China 🙂 I don't much about them but it would be cool if I could trace back my family history like those people in the video did.
You might be able to using ancestry.com -- they have a world section which researches other countries outside of the U.S. --I'm noy sure how good that part is since I've only used the site for US based searches but it might be worth a shot!
Latin Asians
I believe it's called Filipino.
yup and there are other as well!
On point
As a filipino, pretty much 😂
As a Filipino I agree. Considering we have Spanish blood in our veins from the colonizers
@@meangreen323 Not all, but there are.
I am half Cuban and Puerto Rican. But I have a amount of korean from Puerto Rico that has a long history. And it is true that Asians came from Manila Galleon trade hundreds of years ago and not only Filipinos, but Filipinos were the major first asians latinos but not necessarily.
Thanks for sharing Anthony Rey!! I really appreciate it!!
Im Mexican American but its pretty known that my grandmothers' grandfather was from China. I'm actually Mexican/Chinese/Spanish descent.
Gracias por este maravilloso video. Thank you for mentioning Filipinos and the Manila Galleons in this video. I've seen several news pieces over the years about Latin Asians but none of them mention my community, which is a shock. We were a colony of Spain for more than 300 years, governed through Mexico City during the first 200 years. There is a Spanish Creole language called Chabacano that is spoken in the Philippines today, which is a testament to our shared history with our Latin American cousins across the Pacific. Abrazos.
Gracias a Ud/for taking the time to take a look at the video and comment! I really appreciate it!
Philippine history describes little about Spanish government. The history is focused on struggle of Filipinos against Spain. The galleon trade in the video is eye-opener to know more about trade business during those times.
halashet you bitch stop hating the Filipino, because they are better than you in many aspects 😂
because AMERICANS want to destroy Spanish colony and they want it. They glorified Noli and Feli as a propaganda more to destroy Catholicism so that their MADE In USA religion will come to create hate and disunity among Christian faith. AMERICANS TO BLAME! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE TO ALL MADNESS!
Igualmente. Gracias por la informacion. No lo sabia primo.
Brazil has the largest Asian (mostly Japanese) of all of Latin America Peru come at a close second.
Peru has the largest population of Asians, are more than 2 million
Tadeo Nakamaru
Not true, Brazil has the largest Asian population in Latin America and also has the largest population of Japanese descendants outside of Japan.
DaBigSun
Asian Peruvians 3,670,000
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Peruvians
Asia Brazilian 2,084,288
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Brazilians
* Brazil has the largest Japanese population in Latin America
* Peru has the largest Chinese population in Latin America, are 2 million 500 thousand Chinese
* Peru has the second largest population of Japanese in Latin America
I am Peruvian nikkei 👍
i wanna go there to live instead of Japan i heard japanese people there are more open to mixed relationships and merriages
Danz Castellòn You can move to Brazil but remember Brazil is going through some shit right now so it's best not to go until things get better. There is a place name Okinawa Prefecture located in southern Japan. The Japanese down there are more open to mixed relationships and marriages because of the American influence and they also have a military base where American men dating and having kids with Japanese women. If I'm not mistaking I think Okinawa Prefecture has the largest Hafu (half Japanese) in all of Japan.
Hey living, working in NYC is a pot of the world. In the Bronx there was a restaurant that served Chinese food but they also served Cuban food and the severs spoke Spanish, they were Chinese Cuban spoke Chinese also...
This is Why with need to be more closer to Asia, China, Koreanos, Japoneses, Their are BROTHERS and SISTERS FROM LATINOS
Well china, korea and japan are not the only countries in Asia😕
Funny you've said that....where I come from, Hispanic (CA) talk lots of smack about Asians. But then again, every race talk shit about another race.
I love my Mexicans, then again I love Hong Kong in TJ.
The very first time I met a Peruvian who was of Chinese descent was in 2004.I was working for a company inside a building(from 2003-2005).A vendor had a small shop at the bottom/1st floor selling Peruvian jewelries.One day I was visiting his shop and I remember he told me his grandfather immigrated from China to Peru during the 1930's.His father was born and raise in Peru few years later and he was 2nd generation Peruvian-Chinese born during the early '60s.When I look closer at him,he does have almond eyes and far east black texture hair.But his facial bone structure look had a South American/Peruvian appearance and I don't think he said he was half breed and his name tag had a Chinese descent last name.It reminded me back in 2001,I had a neighbor at a condominium I was living at.She said she is originally from the country of Chile and moved to U.S. few years earlier in the late 1990's.But her parents moved there from England in the '50's.She was born and raise in Chile.You can tell she had a British/English descent look but with a Chilean/South American facial features.She still had an English/Anglo last name with blonde hair but when she spoke her English it had a Latina-Hispanic accent.What I do believe,a country's atmoshpere,landscape,terrain does some development when people are babies.
I am Mexican Japanese and Spain
Chinese immigrants make Peru currently the home of the largest ethnically Chinese community in Latin America.
This is a really interesting documentary!! I'm latino and I never knew there were so many asian latinos. It sucks that asian latinos are not represented in spanish media..
Thanks for watching and commenting davorta23! I really appreciate it!! :)
"It sucks that asian latinos are not represented in spanish media.."
Asian Latinos get plenty of representation in Latin American media. So many celebrities that are both full blooded and mixed, which the latter is when the father is usually the Asian one.
I grew up in a Korean church in Texas, USA and one my of children's ministry pastors was from Argentina. She was always in charge of the Yucatan, Mexico mission trips because of her connections with the Spanish language etc. In youth group, there were two sisters who were from Brazil. I was aware there was an asian demographic in Latin America, but I didn't know that it was really big.
Oh, and there was also a girl who was biracial - half Korean and Brazilian. She was gorgeous!
@@yellowRose806 big community of Coreano-brasileiro in São Paulo
I speak English , Portuguese and Spanish but my physical looks are of a native american mixed with asian looks. Sometimes people think I'm Mexican , other times they think I'm Asian ...
In Mexico City there’s a large Korean and Japanese community and in Baja there’s a Chinese community and many of the Chinese Mexicans can trace their ancestry to the California gold rush.
I loved every minute of this educational ride! ❤ I had to watch it twice. Thank you for the lesson🙋🏾♀️
Thanks Rolanda!! I really appreciate that! :)
Eyes opening, this is great. Please keep up exploring and educating the world about this. Thank you
Thanks Tina teews! :)
I have cousins who are Mexican Cambodian.
Cool mix!
This fascinates me so much seeing cultures mix with other cultures and making a new mix.
Years ago I remembered visiting Buenos Aires and meeting Japanese descendants who spoke perfect Spanish. Bubble was burst.
Yup - same thing happened to me and that's what prompted me to do the story!
Japanese from Brazil immigrated to Argentina and settled in Buenos Airess
I grew up with a half Polish-Jewish, half Mexican mother and a half Russian-Kazakh, half Taiwanese father. For me, I grew up with my mom, so I always identified with my Jewish and Mexican heritage. However, nowadays, I identify a lot more with my Taiwanese family as I finally got to meet them not long ago. But it’s weird, you know. Since both of my parents are half white, those genes met in me. Blue eyes, brown hair, light skin. Really the only Asian I have in me is in my face structures, and the Spanish side is pretty much impossible to notice. But I feel proud of all of it, knowing my family all struggled like hell two generations ago, fleeing countries and marrying other refugees to get where we are now.
Tak Jae nah he’s really brave typing that I’d be afraid of the FBI agent assigned to me
Just by all the mixing, makes you honorary Mexican.
My family is from Paraguay- my mom's best friends in Catholic school were japanese, korean and german, in the 60s and 70s. When we moved up here we've met a couple korean people who have emigrated specifically from paraguay.
It's a tiny, tiny, small world.
I am full Peruvian and this is so interesting. I never thought Asian culture would be so present in my country! And I guess that explains why some people believe that I'm part asian even though I technically am not haha
I'm so glad you found it interesting! I do too! Thanks for posting a comment!
I was born in Canada so I never got fully exposed to the history of my origins.
Gab A.C Sweet, a fellow Canadian 🙂
+Eurasian Writer, Sir, you are 100% right. Genetic studies show that Amerindians are an offshoot of the Asiatic N family, so, yes, technically many Hispanics/Latinos are all or almost or half Asian or have some Asian admixture in their DNA along with that of other races (it varies from person to person). It's just that this information is not well-known down south. Many people know they are mixed but they don't really know what they are exactly, hence the ignorance. Plus, as I write, DNA testing, what we have here in North America (AncestryDNA, FTDNA, 23andme, etc.), is not available in LATAM. I believe that as soon as it becomes available to the LATAM masses, perceptions will start to change. Latinos as a whole will become more aware of who they really are and this may help to reduce or even eradicate their racism towards each other ... their self-hate (we can always hope!). Thanks for posting this comment.
If you're born in Canada you're not peruvian its that simple you're Canadian
Crazy coincidence, I actually just recently uploaded a video about Peru and mentioned in there it's the country (at least in Hispanic America) that has the most Asians both in numbers and as percentage of population.
Im Dominican and Taiwanese and this is such a cool video! I absolutely hate how in Latin America, all Asians are referred to as “chino or China”. I find it disrespectful because it’s almost never used in a positive light.
raven scott i do that! But people get offended when confronted about it lol. Talk about double standards
The one exception to this is the Portuguese-speaking country of Brazil. Asians there are usually "Japanese," regardless whether they are of Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, or Korean origin. But to illustrate your point: Argentine actress María Eugenia Suárez is now more popularly known by her nickname, "la China" Suárez, even though she is actually 1/4 Japanese. Suárez's late Nisei Argentine ("second generation Japanese Argentinian") maternal grandmother was Seiko Mitsumori. La China Suárez's username on Instagram is "sangrejaponesa," or "Japanese blood" - a tribute to her Japanese heritage.
¡Muchísimas gracias por este video! Soy profesora de español y siempre estoy buscando videos sobre la diversidad de latinos y nunca había visto ningún video sobre los latinos asiáticos. ¡Bendiciones!
+Profesora Johnson ¡Muchísimas gracias! Se lo agradezco!!!!
50% Asian (Korean, Filipino, Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Cambodian as far as I know) 25% Latino(Peruvian, Salvadoran, Puerto Rican, Colombia, and Bolivian) 25% European ( Italian, French, Portuguese, Croatian, and Spanish) and 100% proud of my beautiful cultures 😍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it!!
What do race do you identify?
🤣
Italianos,Rumanos,Franceses,Españoles,Portugueses son Latinos.
¿ Qué entiendes por Latino?
¿ Acaso aquéllo que entienden los yankis?
No such thing as 25% Latino 😂 you're 75% East Asian/Native American and 25% European.
In Panama we have a lot of Chinese people from China and their Spanish is so good so yes it’s not rare :3 specially when people migrate to help the Panama Canal
In my family there's asian genes but my grandparents don't know where it came from, some of my family members say we have korean descent others say it's japanese
felicitaciones por este reportaje, en SUDAMERICA, principalmente en Peru y Brazil la colonia asiatica es enorme, y su integracion ha sido un exito, en Peru se dice que el 10% tiene sangre asiatica (nikei y tusan).
+bsstv ¡Muchísimas Gracias!!!
+rebaño sagrado As a Latina I don't mind! Thanks for checking out the video!!
Excuse me, it is not an obsession. It is everyone's right to know one's culture and roots to know who you really are.I am not interested in latino and it's culture. But it happens that my father is from Spain and his parents. Embracing and knowing one's culture and heritage is not an obsession.
***** I am a Filipino American. I have no desire to be Latino, get over it!
***** I am not saying I am Latino. Don't make a generalization about filipinos claiming being latino. That is their call. If you have problem with them, deal with them, not with me. I am an american citizen. And you need to learn how to construct your thoughts in proper English before you open your foul mouth and become a keyboard warrior. You are a disgrace to your latino people! Eres mal educado!
Wow! This is very interesting! I never knew about this. Thank you so much for sharing these stories!
There's many Asian-Latinos especially here in Mexico. They are not just put into the media.
That's very interesting! Thanks for commenting! :)
Chinese Peruvian here, my great grandfather travelled to Peru, later on he asked my dad to immigrate there.
Yo soy de padres Chinos, nacido y criado en Venezuela 🇻🇪 y estudié en la Universidad de California, así que hablo 3 idiomas también.
When i went to college in California, i got to meet a lot of Latin Asians from diferente countries, it was so interesting, so much so that i met and married the love of my life, she is Chinese born and raised in Panamá 🇵🇦, small world.
Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
I love what you shared!! Muchísimas Gracias!!! :)
True Latin American if you were born in the Americas and speak the language and have the culture
My mother's immediate family moved from Taiwan to Spain before coming to north America so I have a connection to Spain and Latin music. I have distant relatives in Spain
In Dominican Republic we have a China town my grandmother last name was then they said she was have Chinese I look Filipinos,my children are half Peruvian so they look Asian my grandchildren too🇩🇴🎎🎎
I’m Mexican and I have Filipinos cousins from my dad side
are you guys look the same?
I am from Texas and I know Asian/Hispanic mixed people for example my older sister is Japanese/Filipinos/Polynesian/Spanish descent born in Brownsville Tx,(from my mother's first marriage)my bestfriend her children are Mexican/Vietnamese mixed born in Charolette,NC. My man is Polynesian/Filipino mixed born in Makakilo,HI.

Yo soy Mexicano de ascendencia Japonesa... Mi madre nacio en Oaxaca México.. Donde predomina mas la raza Japonesa y Coreana .. En Verdad mis mejores amigos han sido de estos 2 paises a pesar de que no luzco muy asiatico
Se dice de ascendencia.
No, es descendencia
J - LB no, descendencia es lo que todos tenemos o tendremos luego de tener hijos, por el contrario ascendencia son los ancestros.
La RAE lo define así:
ascendencia
1. f. Serie de ascendientes o antecesores de alguien.
2. f. Origen, procedencia de algo.
descendencia
Del lat. descendens, -entis 'descendiente'.
1. f. Conjunto de hijos, nietos y demás generaciones sucesivas por línea recta descendente.
2. f. Casta, linaje, estirpe.
J - LB De nada, es un error muy frecuente.
1:05 he sounds really Dominican even his voice
My family always have been mistaken as Mexicans or Other Hispanics haha. But we are Filipinos from the Visayas who migrated to the USA. VIVA FILIPINAS 🇵🇭✊💯
Your Latin blood is strong! I’m Filipino also but I get mistaken for other types of asian’s because I’m light skinned, whereas my older brother looks very Filipino cause he’s hella dark (almost black lol) and short and my younger brother gets mistaken for a Hispanic cause he’s tan skinned.
What?
Abigail Andrade not all Hispanics are tan. There are millions of white and blacks Hispanics but the average Filipino like you looks Chinese. I wouldn’t confuse you for Hispanic., thai or Taiwanese maybe
You look very asian
Viking Rollo - You should re-read what I wrote cause your response is off.
The average Filipino does not look Chinese, completely off. That’s usually the uneducated person’s response.
