It's Nyabby Chinese can tell other Chinese apart too. They can tell which area are they from just by listening to them. The area that I meant is like are they from Sichuan, Chengdu, Fujian, Dongbei, and etc.
It's hard to distinguish Filipinos sometimes because of the multiple colonizations our country has went through, our people are basically mixed with so many races.
@@JoeJoe-hn2nh bitch i have two cousins that look like they're chinese but they have filipino parents. my grandparents are half spanish. my OTHER grandparents have western blood. my classmates range from being darker than night to blindingly white. wtf u on.
Just ask for their last names nguyen - vietnam porn#-@-#-@+??? -thai ??? -indonesia kim- korean sato-japanese wang- chinese spanish surnames - filipino Make ur life easier!
pure filipino has different features some have big eyes some have small some have white skin some are tan some are black some have sharp nose some have flat nose i think almost everything except for hair and eye color. i think it's because in early days of the Philippines it was colonize by different countries
I think pure Filipinos are rarely found nowadays, especially in the capital city or abroad. I'm studying in the North so I see some from time to time but I don't know they are pure.
You and I I am Filipino (but 1/8 Spanish and 1/8 Portuguese and I also have Chinese blood). I'm fair (not pale, but I'm very pinkish), I have a pretty pointy nose, my hair is lighter brown than typical Filipino brown and sometimes it looks gold or red, but if you compare it to Caucasian brown than it's darker, and my eyes are gray brown so under certain lights, it looks brown and other times it looks dark gray. I'm not really mestiza, but I get mistaken for being a foreigner because I have an accent that sounds American and European at the same time! 😂
No tea no shade. Studying in the Philippines for a while as a Korean made me realize that Filipinos are mostly mixed. There are legit Korean looking Filipinos, legit Chinese looking Filipinos etc. it was like I was in all of Asia in one place. A one stop place to see a lot of Asian ethnicities. Not to mention the beautiful beaches and the kindest people I've EVER met. That's coming from a girl who's also been to china, Thailand, Japan, the US and of course Korea. I even had met a Filipino boyfriend that totally looked like a Korean (no double eyelids and spoke American English,pale skin and fashionable) just sharing though.
thats because Filipinos are mixed. According to National Geographic, the average Filipino is: 53% Southeast Asian/Oceanian, 36% East Asian (Chinese mixture mostly), 5% Southern European (from Spain), 3% South Asian (ancient Indian mixture), and 2% Native American (from Latin America) genographic.nationalgeographic.com/reference-populations-next-gen/
I have a friend whom I thought was mixed Korean(Or Chinese), but she's actually Pure Filipino. I'm Filipino too. She has pale skin and monolids ,so I thought she was mixed. Haha ,
East Asia - More like Chinese Feature (Have Chinese Eye, light skin, thin) SouthEast Asia - More like Malay Feature (Have sometimes that big eyes, Natural Tan skin, Black Hair, I can agree to the thick one) South Asia - More like indian Feature (Black Hair, Dark Skin, Have big and long nose) West Asia - More like Arab Feature (Beard for males, long and big nose, both dark and light skin) North Asia - More like Russian -European feature (Tall, white, have different natural hair color like blonde, also have big and long nose) We can see the difference of Asian people based on their region. PS: Filipinos are the hardest one to find out they were a mix of a lot of races (Don't call me racist)
@@jerricarte2855 well filipinos are hard to find, because they are a lot of mix like the Chinese, Malay, Indian, some are American and very little Spanish, that is why it is hard to find out if he or she is a filipino
Krince Quiambao It’s hard to notice but Japanese/Korean people actually have larger eyes as compared to Chinese For south asians, like Indians They have different skin tones Some Indians even look like East Asians and about 40% have white skin tone. I don’t know about the nose part As for arabs, not everyone has a beard dude 🙄 And most people don’t even have long noses Germans have long noses tho
You forget Central Asia. People there are diverse in looks. They can range from a Middle Eastern/European to Eurasian to full East Asian (Mongolian and Siberian) appearance. By the way, not all West Asians are Arab. There are Kurds, Anatolian Turks, Assyrians, Jews, Armenians, Persians, etc.
@@aditya7538 lol what a joke only 10 %of the south Asian are white in color. Most of them have olived or brown skin tone. Lighter one will in the shade of olive brown color
I think people forget that there are MIXED asians too a lot , especially in southeast asia. Many southeast asians are mixed with chinese. My fam members are from thailand but several of them are mixed with chinese ,lao and vietnamese. mainly with chinese tho...which is the case for most thais .if mixed. Fact is...u cant always consider everyone as some FULL ethnicity, like 100% korean etc. My friends daughter is half Thai/korean ...soooo...they could be anything
Just ask their name. If the person looks Chinese with a Spanish surname, most likely he is Filipino. If the person looks Spanish mestizo with Chinese surname, most likely he is Filipino.
Actually, in my opinion Asian people are the easiest to tell apart, all having distinct features. Im White and I couldn't tell if you if someone was British, Australian or American, Italian , French and so on ......
Mediterraneans and Scandinavians have distinct looks. Scandivians are generally tall have light hair and light coloured eyes, while Mediterraneans are shorter and have darker hair. As for White Americans and White Australians, both are literally from British background, so that's no surprise you can't distinct between their looks. Scottish folks tends to be on the shorter side.
@@cool_kai3298 some filipinos are mixed with chinese, same with thais vietnamese etc, southeast asia countries has many chinese people living there especially in thailand are the most , so many southeast asians are actually mixed with chinese.
Only by looking? It’s rather difficult to tell. You learn to distinguish who’s who by cultural clues instead of focusing on appearance. It’s like distinguishing middle easterners apart, but’s it’s tricky due to constant intermarriages through centuries after centuries.
@@rubixtutorial3792 and someimes malay rin kaya medyo lang mag dala ka ng Galing indo Malay Pinoy Tignan natin kong makikita talaga nila kahit mag salita pag di sila pinoy,indo,malay
Ive been to Korea a lot of times and I can say that Koreans who lives abroad looks very different from Koreans in Korea. Koreans in Korea kinda look a like (almost same hairstyles, make up and clothes) while those who lived abroad doesn’t confirm to the “standard” korean looks i’ve seen so they are hard to distinguish from chinese/japanese and sometimes Filipinos (Filipinos are a very mixed race).
National Encoder I can agree with that. My korean Best friend’s niece who lives in the US looks really different from the Koreans in Korea. She is more tanner toned and her fashion is eye drawing(In a colorful way)
Yea Koreans actually have a really wide range of physical features but in Korea they all have the singular same idea of beauty. Asian people’s skin tones tan suuuuper easily also that’s why in the summer East Asians get assumed as Filipino LMAO
@@onlythegracee hmmm with your statement, are you trying to insult filipinos?? Im a korean/Spanish/filipino.. they say they cant see anything filipino on me but I love this country so much. Anyway one thing i love filipinos is that plastic surgery is a mortal sin, they value natural beauty unlike your favorite countries like Korea where they have to get Plastic surgery shit just to make themselves beautiful.
Sorry but now filipino are most similar to Polynesian maybe chinese meztisa because white people they can tell the different between indo and filipino because of thier body, eyes, most of them are similar to pacific or latina with big sharp nose
“I thought he was Chinese, but he’s actually Filipino.” And a cute one at that. That’s true though, my cousin gets mistakened as Japanese every now and then.
As a Filipino, it's easy for me to know if you have Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Korean ancestry, or even Mongolian. What I can't tell is if one person is Malaysian, Filipino or Indonesian just based on their looks
Yeah southeastern countries look similar. As a Filipino, u can identify another Filipino by their nose and their accent when they speak of they are Tagalog. Bisaya is kinda harder to identify since they speak better English.
it is really difficult to tell a Filipino nowadays since many mainland chinese have married filipinos for decades. And also many many Filipinos now have mixed race. but if you look in the old photos of Filipinos, we mostly looked similar with malaysians and indonesians.
Jessica Prasetyo I always thought I was full Chinese but after doing a DNA test I learned I have Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and even Native American blood. It’s really rare to be pure blooded
Jessica Prasetyo You should order a DNA test from 23andme. They send you a small kit with a spit tube and you mail it back to them and get the results in like 6 weeks. Super easy :)
Jessica Prasetyo You can order it on their website or on Amazon. My kit was $69 but it was because they had a summer deal. The original price is $99 I think.
@Jessica Prasetyo jesicca u forgot local indonesian like nias,dayak,sundanese,palembang similiar chinese indonesian or most javanese many intermeried with cina indo. yes today smua sudah berubah kecuali cina2 kaya seprti di jakarta mmg masih asli muke cina
How to tell them apart? Simple, just learn a couple of swear words from their country and say it aloud. Those who react are from that country who understood that word 😂
Someone thought i was japanese in high school and i just rolled with it. 3 years later i tell her im not and she's accusing me of "top 10 anime betrayals"
bruh I wud've gotten it wrong too. All Asians DON'T look alike but it's hard to determine wut part of Asia they're from. Same goes for whites and blacks. OMG and Hispanic people. NEVER mistake a liight-skinned Dominican for a Puerto Rican. Ur askn to be cussed out.
I agree. All Asians look different but trying to guess whether they're from China or Korea, or Japan etc. is not possible for me. It's the same as if I tried to guess a white person's ethnicity. I don't look at white people and think, "oh, you're dutch!" Freak, I've got no idea where you're from. Haha. I currently live in S. Korea and it hasn't helped me distinguish :P To be honest I think it's mostly a myth but some people swear they can tell different ethnicities apart so who knows.
Filipinos have one distinguishing feature.... our nose..... lmao, except nowadays a lot of filipinos are mixed with different nationalities, so the era of ironed noses are soon fading......
Im Hakka, but people mistaken me for Filipino, someone told me that Im too cheerful, so they assumed I was Filipino because I seem like I have the soul of a Filipino dude. LOL whatever that means
Filipinos can be anything, they can be white, black, hispanic, latin WE ARE BASICALLY ALL NATIONALITIES IN ONE NATION Edit: Its just mestizos, why are ya’ll arguing bout mestizos in the replies .-. C H I L D R E N C A L M D O W N
Filipinos, Indonesians, Thai people are alike. Chinese, Japanese, Koreans are alike. Indians, just Indians Update: (Not aware about other Asian related ethncities that look similar to Indians so correct me please if there is )
For non Asian it's hard to figured it out, but for Asians I can tell whether or not you are A Malay, Filipino, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese This is how. Malay has darker skin tone and has a thik look same as with Filipinos and has double eyelids. Thai do also have double eyelids but they're more a bit lighter and has almost the same round eyes as the Malay. Korean has that distinct No eyelids look and are very skinny, tall, light skinned, with a fluffy full small faces. Japanese always that distorted teeth that looks nice on them and they have that more kinky eyes stretching up. Chinese do also have thick skin but they have the most beautiful straight hair with a Filipino like eyes but is more smaller eyes. To be honest my mom thinks all Korean look the same
Malay and Indonesians look defferent too, Malay facial features more close type like south thais and bruneis while Indonesian has very complex types .Indonesian is in between Thais ,Malays,Chinese ,Filipinos while in East Indonesian is in between Indonesian, Filipinos, Malays and Melanesian
To tell u frankly. Most Filipinos are mix. Maybe the purer onse are those tribes. Probably the pure blood Filipinos are 30-46 percent of the population.
As a Thai i cant really tell southeast asians apart to be honest i often got mistaken as a filipino or malaysian and mistaken others for being thai maybe we’re darker down here
I just went to Japan with my bf and his family (who are Filipino) and a couple Japanese people kept thinking his mom was Japanese lmaao (and Sky is right a lot of Filipinos have Chinese in them so this could be why the might have thought she was Japanese)
Some of the Southeast asians are harder for me to distinguish, especially Filipinos. I have a friend that I met at school, when we first met he asked me if I can guess where he came from. I guessed Colombia or Venezuela, he was actually pure filipino. He also introduced me his other friend and asked if I can guess where he's came from. I answered Korean but he's also pure filipino. Wtf.
Filipino's look similar with Malaysians and Indonesians since we do share the same ancestry (its unclear who came from where. Whether the Malay people went from south then north to the Philippine or from north to south) and our nations has been interacting before Europeans colonized that part of Southeast Asia. We also traded with the Chinese a lot during pre-colonial times and there were Chinese merchants who chose to migrate in Southeast Asia. I am mistaken for Chinese even though I did not inherit the white skin like my cousins (I have olive skin) but I did inherit my great grandmother's eyes who happens to be 1/4 Chinese.
hinatamercury South philipines (sulu/mindanau) more related to brunei or malaysin ,when visayan in philipines related to indonesian. then north or luzon very close to guam and chamorro in micronesia and nativ taiwanese.
yes Indonesian there people have different variations of thais,malay, chinese,japanese, indian looks , even black or african in east even european - asian mixed, yes rice with variations people of skin, eye, hair etc.
I think Malaysian and Singaporean definitely looks much more East Asian than Filipinos and Indonesian since many of them have chinese blood. I have lots of friends from Asia by the way.
How to identify a Filipino: can learn and speak well English quickly, most of the time have double eyelids, have a Spanish last name, and is the many few or only Asian country that is mostly Catholic or Christian. Btw, I’m a light skin Filipino!!
PH is a diverse country. So there are those that look mixed. There are those that have that westerner-asian mix. There are those with brown/tan skin. There are those that look Chinese/Korean with mix of Filipino.
here we can see the comparison of the faces of Indonesian and filipinas and of course Indonesians looks a like more East Asian ferature compared with Filipinas Indonesian : ruclips.net/video/ooKxJdzAu-c/видео.html Filipina : ruclips.net/video/JTWQ1wuTu-8/видео.html
@@leony0903 she don't give a fact about indonesia shes telling that filipino is diverse country, we dont care about your country... and also the link you share is so unfair you share the good side of Indonesia then you share about the bad side of the philippines.. and i asked my classmate about they think of Indonesia, almost 70%of them are telling that indonesia is more look like arabic or south asian and 30%of them says that indonesian look like pacific islander..
@@니카-h5g heh u can see Indonesian have many light skin and east asian look compared with filipino ?? that's the reality indonesians are more prettier than filipina......... you don't accept the fact because in general Indonesians in western part look like it's mixed chinese, malay, thai even westren etc.
@@니카-h5g You are a troll here .. defferent between Filipinas and Indonesians which is the most prettier of course Indonesians ..we are Indonesians a mixture of east asia and southeast asian look while the filipinas are mostly local faces 100% "Austronesian" it is brown skin people living in the philippines -
My message to all Filipino my own countrymen , first Philippines is in Asian so therefore we are Asian , Second You don't have to differentiate your looks that you look Mexican , Chinese or etc. just be proud of who you are . we have our own country, Third there are a lot of mixed race country where in it doesn't makes us unique, Fourth our culture doesn't makes us unique over other Asian because it's not are own culture. Fifth just be proud of who you are and where you born in we are happy people and talented Country Organization I just say Organization because country is just like that you can't actually say the official race of a country, our country is the best we don't have to look over the others we have to look on what we have.
Asian doesnt mean anything. It just means you're from the continent of Asia. It's pointless to have pride in that. It's like if Americans and Mexicans talked about "North American pride" They dont, because it's stupid to have pride in your continent. Have pride in your culture. Asian is not a culture
Alden Martin as long as I remember I have classmates who has stick like body rn and there's like 2-3 fat students in my classroom and I'm on the chubby side.
I'm a Filipino and people are always like "You don't look Asian to me. " I DON'T LOOK ASIAN TO YOU? DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT ON TRADITIONAL CLOTHES, MAKE MY EYES SMALLER AND START SPEAKING CHINESE? it's just really annoying when people classify Asians as only Japanese, Chinese and Koreans. there's a big variety of nationalities in asia yknow? try and educate yourself sometimes
Actually after living in China for almost 10 years I can differentiate between the japanese chinese korean and The mongols. I can’t differentiate vietnamese from southern Chinese people though. Rest I am good !
you can't tell just from face alone... most of the time it was through clothing and behavior... even east asian themselves have trouble.... unless again clothing
I am a filipino and other people thinks im korean or japanese because of my eyes and fair skin... but when i speak english, they said ahh yes your a filipino hahahahaha lol!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💖💖💖
I like anime and I'm an engineer. what I'm saying is there are people who has a life out of our rooms that is filled with anime wallpapers and figurines, i am also a filipino by the way.
They think Im mexican bec of my parents gave me a mexican name (geo is not my real name). I tell them im asian but couldnt believe it bec of my double eyelids.
@Andrie's Crafties when i was in the philippines i saw a lot of whitening products and people constantly mention about skin tone. of course i dont think that should be socially judged because tanning is also a thing in the western culture, but im just stating the facts.
@@barnaby4232 yeah, Being White in China means you can have any color of hair, Yellow/Red/Black/Brown, and many eye colors Blue(that’s most seen on Hollywood movies) Brown Green Red, whatever European area you come from you can call yourself British/ Americans whites, when speaking good English, Chinese can’t tell.
+Aven Hojd There's actually no such thing as "Middle East". That's a made-up term coined by America to label all the Islamic regions in that part of the world. In proper geographic terms, those Islamic countries are still within the Eurasian continental plate, which makes those countries be in "West to Central Asia"
Nathalie Golding but they are trying to figure out if that race looks different depending on the country.. Obviously Indian, Arab ,Persian and Russian Asians you can tell where they are from
Horny Aleks You are confusing the terms "race", "ethnicity", and "nationality". "Race" is the physical characteristics of a person (skin colour, eye colour, hair colour). "Ethnicity" refers to the cultural aspects of the person such as their ancestry. "Nationality" is the person's relationship with their political state/country they were born or live in. You can have multiple ethnicity and nationality , such as Egyptian Italian or Japanese American but only one race (even if mixed race -- that's still a separate category within race). Btw, Arabs aren't only Muslims (but predominantly more of them are). There are also Christian Arabs. Just like how not every American is necessarily a Christian or Jewish.
I’m mostly Chinese part Vietnamese but most people assume I’m Filipino haha. The Philippines and their people are very beautiful though and I’d be proud if I was from there.
Allan haha, My high school had tons of Chinese students from mainland China, and next to me, we looked like we were from different worlds. Probably based on the region we come from, with them from the north and me from the south? Then again, I spend lots of time in the sun and don’t look traditionally Chinese and I’m part something else. In truth, I feel like most of us are mixed to some degree. Don’t think I’ve ever met someone 100%. Being Asian is pretty cool though, lots of beautiful cultures, languages and people.
@@Elsisalittleconcerned china is huge man 🤣🤣🤣. its bigger than europe. "chinese" ranges from white central asian to actual east asian to tibetans to southeast asian. traditionally most people think the northern people is the true chinese.. since the chinese were north people and civilization untill some of them migrate downwards.
As a half Filipino (that has been mistaken for Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Hawaiian by white people all my life) I am somewhat insecure with my racial identity but thanks for your kind words ab Filipinos and the Philippines 👍🏽 :)
Considering the Korean side take the same eye and nose surgery all the time and THEN put the same make up styles nonstop. Seeing a regular Korean doesn't match what the media portrays.
So I saw a lot of people saying Filipinos are great in speaking English. I’m here to say why. First of all, Filipinos can learn different accents, because Philippines was colonized by Spain, Japan, and America, which made it easier for Filipinos to adapt or learn different accent. Second is, Filipinos are required to learn English in schools and university. Third, in some instances, Filipinos are required to speak in English, like when you’re an English major teacher or you’re in a big company *presentations and such* Fourth, some *I don’t know if most* Filipinos in Manila speak half English half Filipino language. Fifth, Filipinos in the Philippines have different accents since there are different dialects in the Philippines. The most common dialect is called Tagalog. Sixth, a lot of people in the Philippines know more than two languages, which practices the Filipinos in learning different language. 😊 I hope this information is much clearer and understandable. I live in Canada, and the only Filipinos I know who struggle with their accents are those who were from provinces like Ilocos and Bicol. But most Filipinos can keep up 😊
My employer told me once... "you really are a filipiniya... You speak fluent english, and you learn fast in speaking our language"... THat's her exact words. I think Philippines is a language machine... Our official recorded languages used in the philippines is more than 180 .sooooo yeahhh
@Ranem Shain thats what i meant. In Korea and Japan they learn English in school yet when you go to those countries most people don't or won't speak to you in English.
Actually filipinos are mixed race, it's really hard to distinguish specially now that half of the population were like half breed. And besides philippines were colonized by spain for 300 yrs. that's why we are hard to identify wether we are full blood or half.
@@najahkirol2543 There is nothing wrong with my grammar, and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know that. FYI, you have to use 'especially' and not 'specially'; put 'the' before the word 'Philippines'; capitalise the first letter of all countries as they are proper nouns; and use 'whether' rather than 'wether'. Honestly, it is not my job to correct your grammar or spelling. What I am pointing out is you are being delusional by saying Filipinos are a mixed race when we are not. You are giving non-Filipinos a wrong impression. You have to admit what you said is an utter lie.
@@mrtechgamer3026 @MrTechGamer I agree. We cannot truly call certain Pinoy "half-breeds" or the Philippines a "mixed race". We cannot take too seriously what race is either, such as how our phenotypic features should not determine whether we are Pinoy or not (e.g. Is someone Filipino/not Filipino if they have epicanthal folds, wavy/curly hair, and/or darker skin?). Yes the Spanish colonized us for almost 400 years, as the Americans for almost 50, and imperial Japanese occupation-- but we cannot limit ourselves to our subjugation; we were trading all around before and have large communities overseas now. I believe we are hurting ourselves by referring to ourselves as such, believing in what might be the one true kind of Filipino, which is why we have so much hostility with each other.
Kinda agree, true pure Filipinos are the Indigenous people who were mostly isolated from the rest of the population. The regular population is generally malay with some chinese and european genes.
@@wawa-vf4to I don't think their difference is from physical appearance, but rather from the way they dress, their language and maybe the way they present themselves. Just like in Africa, we cannot tell other black Africans apart unless they start talking
For Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans and Singaporeans they are mostly look the same. While Filipinos, Indonesians, Malay and Thai are mostly look similar.
The Vietnamese was originated from South China , we moved further South East Asia , mixed with the Cham. Vietnamese have diversity looks. North Vietnamese tend to look like Chinese/East Asian with smaller eyes,smaller nose and light skin ,while South Vietnamese looks like Thai/Khmer and darker skin
When i was in hongkong airport , one pilipino asked me if im chinese hahahah when i start speak he was shock lol im pilipino hahaha i asked him why he think im chinese HE SAID BECAUSE IM WEARING SOCKS/and my skin color/ and my eyes .. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA then he invite me to eat some noodles but that noodles was not even cooked.maybe half cooked i feel like eating toothpick.lol
I'm filipino and nobody can guess my ethnicity right. I always get chinese, japanese, korean or vietnamese. Even my filipino co-workers couldn't tell when they met me lol
People who lives around Asians or in Asian countries can fairly differentiate different type of Asians. But it would be difficult for even Asians to differentiate. It's like a white person from UK would have difficulties identifying nationalities of White people among American, British, Irish, German and Scottish by just looking at them.
Degyptika Padmanebiriau Rai, I am aware of that. What i am implying was that can u differentiate a white person from America, Uk or Australia by just looking at them?
you can even tell pure Western Europeans apart when you live here, but it's not always 100% accurate, especially in places like Germany where we got all possible shades
*look all you gotta do is ask them their name and bam you know where they're from lmao* At least that's how it works for me because I grew up in Asia so I know what names go with what country Plus their accent usually helps
I'm Filipino and I don't have any trace of indian ancestry but somehow I look like an indian person, proved by many people who knows me or strangers who just pass by and asks if i'm indian. lol

pure filipino has different features some have big eyes some have small some have white skin some are tan some are black some have sharp nose some have flat nose i think almost everything except for hair and eye color. i think it's because in early days of the Philippines it was colonize by different countries
I think pure Filipinos are rarely found nowadays, especially in the capital city or abroad. I'm studying in the North so I see some from time to time but I don't know they are pure.
You and I yup this is true
I don't see a lot of filipino with sharp nose, most have flat nose. Are you talking about those who are mixed?
You and I I am Filipino (but 1/8 Spanish and 1/8 Portuguese and I also have Chinese blood). I'm fair (not pale, but I'm very pinkish), I have a pretty pointy nose, my hair is lighter brown than typical Filipino brown and sometimes it looks gold or red, but if you compare it to Caucasian brown than it's darker, and my eyes are gray brown so under certain lights, it looks brown and other times it looks dark gray. I'm not really mestiza, but I get mistaken for being a foreigner because I have an accent that sounds American and European at the same time! 😂

No tea no shade. Studying in the Philippines for a while as a Korean made me realize that Filipinos are mostly mixed. There are legit Korean looking Filipinos, legit Chinese looking Filipinos etc. it was like I was in all of Asia in one place. A one stop place to see a lot of Asian ethnicities. Not to mention the beautiful beaches and the kindest people I've EVER met. That's coming from a girl who's also been to china, Thailand, Japan, the US and of course Korea. I even had met a Filipino boyfriend that totally looked like a Korean (no double eyelids and spoke American English,pale skin and fashionable) just sharing though.
thats because Filipinos are mixed. According to National Geographic, the average Filipino is: 53% Southeast Asian/Oceanian, 36% East Asian (Chinese mixture mostly), 5% Southern European (from Spain), 3% South Asian (ancient Indian mixture), and 2% Native American (from Latin America)

SouthEast Asia - More like Malay Feature (Have sometimes that big eyes, Natural Tan skin, Black Hair, I can agree to the thick one)
South Asia - More like indian Feature (Black Hair, Dark Skin, Have big and long nose)
West Asia - More like Arab Feature (Beard for males, long and big nose, both dark and light skin)
North Asia - More like Russian -European feature (Tall, white, have different natural hair color like blonde, also have big and long nose)
We can see the difference of Asian people based on their region.
PS:
Filipinos are the hardest one to find out they were a mix of a lot of races
(Don't call me racist)
Didn't you see the interviewed filipino, his friend thought he was Chinese.
@@jerricarte2855 well filipinos are hard to find, because they are a lot of mix like the Chinese, Malay, Indian, some are American and very little Spanish, that is why it is hard to find out if he or she is a filipino
Krince Quiambao
It’s hard to notice but Japanese/Korean people actually have larger eyes as compared to Chinese
For south asians, like Indians
They have different skin tones
Some Indians even look like East Asians and about 40% have white skin tone. I don’t know about the nose part
As for arabs, not everyone has a beard dude 🙄
And most people don’t even have long noses
Germans have long noses tho
You forget Central Asia.
People there are diverse in looks. They can range from a Middle Eastern/European to Eurasian to full East Asian (Mongolian and Siberian) appearance.
By the way, not all West Asians are Arab. There are Kurds, Anatolian Turks, Assyrians, Jews, Armenians, Persians, etc.
@@aditya7538 lol what a joke only 10 %of the south Asian are white in color. Most of them have olived or brown skin tone. Lighter one will in the shade of olive brown color
I was like, “They all look Korean, but they can’t all be Korean.”
Then they were all Korean.
Edit - Lowkey forgot this comment existed-
Same
I know
I think people forget that there are MIXED asians too a lot , especially in southeast asia. Many southeast asians are mixed with chinese. My fam members are from thailand but several of them are mixed with chinese ,lao and vietnamese. mainly with chinese tho...which is the case for most thais .if mixed. Fact is...u cant always consider everyone as some FULL ethnicity, like 100% korean etc. My friends daughter is half Thai/korean ...soooo...they could be anything
mxd-asian1990 exactly... and if you look into grandparents and grand-grandparents it could be mixed... you're never 100% anything
I know I'm not the only one

Just ask their name. If the person looks Chinese with a Spanish surname, most likely he is Filipino. If the person looks Spanish mestizo with Chinese surname, most likely he is Filipino.
😂😂😂
haisai They actually have.. 2 of my friends have chinese surnames and Filipino kami lolz HAHA
Ahahaha
haisai yes there are many, surnames like Ong, Tan, Chong, Sy, Lui, Kang, Tui, Cheng, Hou, Soo, Go and a lot mooore...
i am a filipino and i have a Chinese surname
Actually, in my opinion Asian people are the easiest to tell apart, all having distinct features. Im White and I couldn't tell if you if someone was British, Australian or American, Italian , French and so on ......
Oh you would think.
All whites are same just different countries
Vicky Singson yeah it seems like that haha, I only pride myself because I'm a quarter Pacific Islander 😂, at least a little mixed
Mediterraneans and Scandinavians have distinct looks. Scandivians are generally tall have light hair and light coloured eyes, while Mediterraneans are shorter and have darker hair. As for White Americans and White Australians, both are literally from British background, so that's no surprise you can't distinct between their looks. Scottish folks tends to be on the shorter side.
Yeah that's true 😂😂😂
I'm Filipino and some people thought I was Japanese, Korean or Chinese.
I don’t think any pinoy has
@@cool_kai3298 some filipinos are mixed with chinese, same with thais vietnamese etc, southeast asia countries has many chinese people living there especially in thailand are the most , so many southeast asians are actually mixed with chinese.
Same but im chinoy(filipino chinese)

If you see a white man can you tell if he's from Italy, Spain or France?
🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Only by looking? It’s rather difficult to tell. You learn to distinguish who’s who by cultural clues instead of focusing on appearance. It’s like distinguishing middle easterners apart, but’s it’s tricky due to constant intermarriages through centuries after centuries.
For these three countries, yes. But if you asked about Sweden, Norway and Finland, that would be a harder one.
Yeah. But you need to have been around then to know. There’s subtle differences. Just like with Asians lol.
try Sweden, Finland or Estonia instead.
Its hard to distinguish Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino apart unless when they spew words.
come on, lets be honest. 😂😂
even when they do its still hard to tell. im indonesian so when i hear tagalog it feels like i should understand it but i dont

Ive been to Korea a lot of times and I can say that Koreans who lives abroad looks very different from Koreans in Korea. Koreans in Korea kinda look a like (almost same hairstyles, make up and clothes) while those who lived abroad doesn’t confirm to the “standard” korean looks i’ve seen so they are hard to distinguish from chinese/japanese and sometimes Filipinos (Filipinos are a very mixed race).
National Encoder I can agree with that. My korean Best friend’s niece who lives in the US looks really different from the Koreans in Korea. She is more tanner toned and her fashion is eye drawing(In a colorful way)
National Encoder fax I’m korean American and I get that from my grandparents all the time
I agree Filipinos are very mixed because of the influence of the Chinese, Spanish, Mexicans, and many other race
Yea Koreans actually have a really wide range of physical features but in Korea they all have the singular same idea of beauty. Asian people’s skin tones tan suuuuper easily also that’s why in the summer East Asians get assumed as Filipino LMAO
@@onlythegracee hmmm with your statement, are you trying to insult filipinos?? Im a korean/Spanish/filipino.. they say they cant see anything filipino on me but I love this country so much. Anyway one thing i love filipinos is that plastic surgery is a mortal sin, they value natural beauty unlike your favorite countries like Korea where they have to get Plastic surgery shit just to make themselves beautiful.
I can tell Asian apart but I got very confused when it comes to Filipino and Indonesian.
Southeast asians look the same until they speak their language

@@jiafei_products7085 You forgot Nigritos or People who are already Native to the Islands.
As a Filipino, it's easy for me to know if you have Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Korean ancestry, or even Mongolian. What I can't tell is if one person is Malaysian, Filipino or Indonesian just based on their looks
Yeah southeastern countries look similar. As a Filipino, u can identify another Filipino by their nose and their accent when they speak of they are Tagalog. Bisaya is kinda harder to identify since they speak better English.
Indians aren't Asian
Around northern part of Philippines, some I cant even tell apart if theyre korean, japanese, or chinese or not
it is really difficult to tell a Filipino nowadays since many mainland chinese have married filipinos for decades. And also many many Filipinos now have mixed race. but if you look in the old photos of Filipinos, we mostly looked similar with malaysians and indonesians.
I’m Chinese. I had a classmate who looked Chinese but he was actually full Filipino lol. I was shook
Jessica Prasetyo I always thought I was full Chinese but after doing a DNA test I learned I have Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and even Native American blood. It’s really rare to be pure blooded
Jessica Prasetyo You should order a DNA test from 23andme. They send you a small kit with a spit tube and you mail it back to them and get the results in like 6 weeks. Super easy :)
Jessica Prasetyo You can order it on their website or on Amazon. My kit was $69 but it was because they had a summer deal. The original price is $99 I think.

Filipinos, Indonesians, Thai people are alike.
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans are alike.
Indians, just Indians
Update: (Not aware about other Asian related ethncities that look similar to Indians so correct me please if there is )
Mike90 susanoo Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankan’s and Bangladeshis look alike.
Sri Lankans and Bangladeshis are mostly dark. Indians are mixed. Pakistanis are mostly fair Persians are very much fair.
Alias Sobriquet i think bangladeshis look way difderent than indians
Filipinos,Indonesia,malaysian,thailand are look a like
Mike90 susanoo filipinos and thai and Indonesians and Vietnamies are look aliks tru
They are my favorite type of asians.
For non Asian it's hard to figured it out, but for Asians I can tell whether or not you are A Malay, Filipino, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese
This is how.
Malay has darker skin tone and has a thik look same as with Filipinos and has double eyelids.
Thai do also have double eyelids but they're more a bit lighter and has almost the same round eyes as the Malay.
Korean has that distinct No eyelids look and are very skinny, tall, light skinned, with a fluffy full small faces.
Japanese always that distorted teeth that looks nice on them and they have that more kinky eyes stretching up.
Chinese do also have thick skin but they have the most beautiful straight hair with a Filipino like eyes but is more smaller eyes.
To be honest my mom thinks all Korean look the same
Thai is in between Chinese and Malay. Their facial features look different from Malay Filipinos Cambodian.
Malay and Indonesians look defferent too, Malay facial features more close type like south thais and bruneis while Indonesian has very complex types .Indonesian is in between Thais ,Malays,Chinese ,Filipinos while in East Indonesian is in between Indonesian, Filipinos, Malays and Melanesian
To tell u frankly. Most Filipinos are mix. Maybe the purer onse are those tribes. Probably the pure blood Filipinos are 30-46 percent of the population.
i’m a filipino who’s paler than most east asians and very thin/ have a very angular face
You can't tell which one is a filipino dude trust me because most of us are mixed, the only basis is their accent in speaking english.
As a Thai i cant really tell southeast asians apart to be honest i often got mistaken as a filipino or malaysian and mistaken others for being thai maybe we’re darker down here
I think the Philippines and Thailand are most handsome Asian man , and girls in the Philippines are most beautiful in Asian

@@gilnahnushape shifters is crazy😂
Filipino's look similar with Malaysians and Indonesians since we do share the same ancestry (its unclear who came from where. Whether the Malay people went from south then north to the Philippine or from north to south) and our nations has been interacting before Europeans colonized that part of Southeast Asia. We also traded with the Chinese a lot during pre-colonial times and there were Chinese merchants who chose to migrate in Southeast Asia.
I am mistaken for Chinese even though I did not inherit the white skin like my cousins (I have olive skin) but I did inherit my great grandmother's eyes who happens to be 1/4 Chinese.
hinatamercury South philipines (sulu/mindanau) more related to brunei or malaysin ,when visayan in philipines related to indonesian. then north or luzon very close to guam and chamorro in micronesia and nativ taiwanese.
yes Indonesian there people have different variations of thais,malay, chinese,japanese, indian looks , even black or african in east even european - asian mixed, yes rice with variations people of skin, eye, hair etc.
hinatamercury but what happen is Spain colonized philippine for long time and also japanese and americans.. some people here has different look
I think Malaysian and Singaporean definitely looks much more East Asian than Filipinos and Indonesian since many of them have chinese blood. I have lots of friends from Asia by the way.
+ Ice Inducer, Lol totally defferent indian and indonesian, indonesian looks more chinese than to indian.
How to identify a Filipino: can learn and speak well English quickly, most of the time have double eyelids, have a Spanish last name, and is the many few or only Asian country that is mostly Catholic or Christian. Btw, I’m a light skin Filipino!!

Fifth just be proud of who you are and where you born in we are happy people and talented Country Organization I just say Organization because country is just like that you can't actually say the official race of a country, our country is the best we don't have to look over the others we have to look on what we have.

Asian doesnt mean anything. It just means you're from the continent of Asia. It's pointless to have pride in that. It's like if Americans and Mexicans talked about "North American pride" They dont, because it's stupid to have pride in your continent. Have pride in your culture. Asian is not a culture

Nathalie Golding Yup! I'm an Asian from Israel!
ur middle eastern.....
+Aven Hojd There's actually no such thing as "Middle East". That's a made-up term coined by America to label all the Islamic regions in that part of the world.
In proper geographic terms, those Islamic countries are still within the Eurasian continental plate, which makes those countries be in "West to Central Asia"
Nathalie Golding but they are trying to figure out if that race looks different depending on the country.. Obviously Indian, Arab ,Persian and Russian Asians you can tell where they are from
Horny Aleks You are confusing the terms "race", "ethnicity", and "nationality".
"Race" is the physical characteristics of a person (skin colour, eye colour, hair colour).
"Ethnicity" refers to the cultural aspects of the person such as their ancestry.
"Nationality" is the person's relationship with their political state/country they were born or live in.
You can have multiple ethnicity and nationality , such as Egyptian Italian or Japanese American but only one race (even if mixed race -- that's still a separate category within race).
Btw, Arabs aren't only Muslims (but predominantly more of them are). There are also Christian Arabs. Just like how not every American is necessarily a Christian or Jewish.

Allan haha, My high school had tons of Chinese students from mainland China, and next to me, we looked like we were from different worlds. Probably based on the region we come from, with them from the north and me from the south? Then again, I spend lots of time in the sun and don’t look traditionally Chinese and I’m part something else. In truth, I feel like most of us are mixed to some degree. Don’t think I’ve ever met someone 100%. Being Asian is pretty cool though, lots of beautiful cultures, languages and people.
@@Elsisalittleconcerned china is huge man 🤣🤣🤣. its bigger than europe.
"chinese" ranges from white central asian to actual east asian to tibetans to southeast asian.
traditionally most people think the northern people is the true chinese.. since the chinese were north people and civilization untill some of them migrate downwards.
As a half Filipino (that has been mistaken for Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Hawaiian by white people all my life) I am somewhat insecure with my racial identity but thanks for your kind words ab Filipinos and the Philippines 👍🏽 :)
-you can’t tell the difference?
- yeah that’s honestly because of my ignorance
*I love him for the honesty*
Im filipino and some people think im chinese or malaysian.
K
If Koreans themselves couldn't identify their own people then its an impossible task for us LOL
Considering the Korean side take the same eye and nose surgery all the time and THEN put the same make up styles nonstop. Seeing a regular Korean doesn't match what the media portrays.
Lmao!!!
+Gnat Foehn It' different...Korean artist and regular Korean
Right?
@@Oyashio202 Ordinary Koreans and kpop idols are different
I am filipino and I’m happy that no one has brought up the nose feature 🤣🤣🤣
Ow yeah,
LOL same and i'm filipino too
Plz don't be to loud 🤭🤣
hahahaha
So I saw a lot of people saying Filipinos are great in speaking English. I’m here to say why. First of all, Filipinos can learn different accents, because Philippines was colonized by Spain, Japan, and America, which made it easier for Filipinos to adapt or learn different accent. Second is, Filipinos are required to learn English in schools and university. Third, in some instances, Filipinos are required to speak in English, like when you’re an English major teacher or you’re in a big company *presentations and such* Fourth, some *I don’t know if most* Filipinos in Manila speak half English half Filipino language. Fifth, Filipinos in the Philippines have different accents since there are different dialects in the Philippines. The most common dialect is called Tagalog. Sixth, a lot of people in the Philippines know more than two languages, which practices the Filipinos in learning different language. 😊 I hope this information is much clearer and understandable. I live in Canada, and the only Filipinos I know who struggle with their accents are those who were from provinces like Ilocos and Bicol. But most Filipinos can keep up 😊
they learn English in Japan and Korea too and most cant speak at all (or dont try)
My employer told me once... "you really are a filipiniya... You speak fluent english, and you learn fast in speaking our language"... THat's her exact words. I think Philippines is a language machine... Our official recorded languages used in the philippines is more than 180 .sooooo yeahhh
@Ranem Shain thats what i meant. In Korea and Japan they learn English in school yet when you go to those countries most people don't or won't speak to you in English.
@Ranem Shain Korean and Japanese people
@@jimmefz3328 lol Korea goes to Philippines to learn English...
Actually filipinos are mixed race, it's really hard to distinguish specially now that half of the population were like half breed. And besides philippines were colonized by spain for 300 yrs. that's why we are hard to identify wether we are full blood or half.
najmalyn kirol We are not half bred. Stop dreaming.
Mr Tech Gamer Breed kasi hndi Bred, stop talking 🙄
@@najahkirol2543 There is nothing wrong with my grammar, and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know that. FYI, you have to use 'especially' and not 'specially'; put 'the' before the word 'Philippines'; capitalise the first letter of all countries as they are proper nouns; and use 'whether' rather than 'wether'. Honestly, it is not my job to correct your grammar or spelling. What I am pointing out is you are being delusional by saying Filipinos are a mixed race when we are not. You are giving non-Filipinos a wrong impression. You have to admit what you said is an utter lie.
@@mrtechgamer3026 @MrTechGamer I agree. We cannot truly call certain Pinoy "half-breeds" or the Philippines a "mixed race". We cannot take too seriously what race is either, such as how our phenotypic features should not determine whether we are Pinoy or not (e.g. Is someone Filipino/not Filipino if they have epicanthal folds, wavy/curly hair, and/or darker skin?). Yes the Spanish colonized us for almost 400 years, as the Americans for almost 50, and imperial Japanese occupation-- but we cannot limit ourselves to our subjugation; we were trading all around before and have large communities overseas now. I believe we are hurting ourselves by referring to ourselves as such, believing in what might be the one true kind of Filipino, which is why we have so much hostility with each other.
Kinda agree, true pure Filipinos are the Indigenous people who were mostly isolated from the rest of the population. The regular population is generally malay with some chinese and european genes.
Westeners: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
asians: yeah we do
Koreans living abroad surely don't look like the mainstream Koreans in South Korea huh
As a Korean, I agree.
True
That's very true.
When those East Asians born in USA, they all look about the same. I am not racist.
@@Kelberi yeah, you're right genetically we are same. Culture and breeding is what makes difference
Any Filipinos here? 😃
m-me?
Alot as you can see in the other comments including meh
@Ranem Shain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🙋♀️

Ikrr !!!!
Well its hard to tell whos who if youre a filipino cuz we got mixed and mixed and mixed
Actually the other filipinos looks like chinese cuz they were invaded us but we originated in brown skin
Let's just be honest. Its almost impossible to different between Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. Even they themselves can't.
True 😂
I can tho :v base on their fashion style/ makeup
in fact, most of them can tell the difference..
@@wawa-vf4to agreed I have friends that r from china, korea, etc and they all can tell the difference between their ppl and foreigners.
@@wawa-vf4to I don't think their difference is from physical appearance, but rather from the way they dress, their language and maybe the way they present themselves. Just like in Africa, we cannot tell other black Africans apart unless they start talking
For Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans and Singaporeans they are mostly look the same. While Filipinos, Indonesians, Malay and Thai are mostly look similar.
👍👍
i'm a filipino and i'm black so i guess that makes me a blackpino
You flack bro! Siick
Black filipinos are called negritos... calling them blackpino is rude you no
jero ninalga this made me laugh so hard.

Oml i remember that yixing clip
As a Filipino I approve
He meant to say Philippinese! But yours are just better 😂
Dude: Filipinos are *thiccer*
Me irl: *mAh tEAchERs aRe THicCEr!*
The Vietnamese was originated from South China , we moved further South East Asia , mixed with the Cham. Vietnamese have diversity looks. North Vietnamese tend to look like Chinese/East Asian with smaller eyes,smaller nose and light skin ,while South Vietnamese looks like Thai/Khmer and darker skin
dont compare Vietnamese with Chinese
Although Im Asian but still I cant tell the diffrence, like one time I thought my friend was Filipino but he was from Japan..
Wow 90 Percent of the comments are about Filipino's wow 😂🇵🇭
Magick
They thought im mexican while im filipino 😗🙃
Azaliah Samsin yes..bcause filipino have many latino/hispanic blood. they more close to latinos than indonesian.

Generally speaking, we are compared to other Asians. We can't only base it on you. 😁✌
My classmates are thicc xD
Yes I've noticed that too. Out of the asians at my school the Filipinas are usually more filled out than the other asians
When i was in hongkong airport , one pilipino asked me if im chinese hahahah when i start speak he was shock lol im pilipino hahaha i asked him why he think im chinese HE SAID BECAUSE IM WEARING SOCKS/and my skin color/ and my eyes .. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA then he invite me to eat some noodles but that noodles was not even cooked.maybe half cooked i feel like eating toothpick.lol

Its kinda true doe.. 👉🏻👈🏻🤣
Its kinda true doe.. 👉🏻👈🏻🤣
i dont get it. what does it mean? is it tiker? or thiccer lol
lmaooo "filipinos are thicker!"
Kimadksjfhe what does that mean though?
Thicker as in body type?
he meant it as a compliment...like voluptuous or curvaceous (more than the typical Asian). In the US, curvy is considered sexy and attractive.
Kimadksjfhe I get that a lot. I’m not fat, but I have thick legs and round booty lol
Kimadksjfhe *taker
I'm filipino and nobody can guess my ethnicity right. I always get chinese, japanese, korean or vietnamese. Even my filipino co-workers couldn't tell when they met me lol
I’m Vietnamese and partial Chinese and people guess Korean and Japanese. 😭
MOM: Oh look an American.
Me: Mom he's australian.
MOM: YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME?!
DAD: (teams up to make me look like a cruel living being)
People who lives around Asians or in Asian countries can fairly differentiate different type of Asians. But it would be difficult for even Asians to differentiate. It's like a white person from UK would have difficulties identifying nationalities of White people among American, British, Irish, German and Scottish by just looking at them.
Rinchen Tamang American?? America has every race. Not just white people country
Degyptika Padmanebiriau Rai, I am aware of that. What i am implying was that can u differentiate a white person from America, Uk or Australia by just looking at them?
you can even tell pure Western Europeans apart when you live here, but it's not always 100% accurate, especially in places like Germany where we got all possible shades
+extreme true
Filipino buh I look black/Mexican and I have very curly hair
u prolly had da aeta blood
Filipinos have Austronesian blood, the same blood as Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. Austronesians are often mistaken as black.
Just like Bruno Mars. :) Yup, I know he is half Puerto Rican.
Moana
Sound pretty 😍
: Filipinos are thicker
inner me: *couldn't agree more
I'm Filipino living in Japan. But they thought I am Japanese. ☺
what do I look like?
You probably have monolid eyes That's why?
in your opinion, where do I come from?
@@indonesiantangkas7446 your name duh...
Sana all chinito😂
*look all you gotta do is ask them their name and bam you know where they're from lmao*
At least that's how it works for me because I grew up in Asia so I know what names go with what country
Plus their accent usually helps
I'm Filipino and I don't have any trace of indian ancestry but somehow I look like an indian person, proved by many people who knows me or strangers who just pass by and asks if i'm indian. lol
probably in your past generation, or it's from iberian peninsula?
omg maybe? I really want to test my DNA because it's really intriguing but it's pretty expensive.
i lovr your progile picture 😂😊💞💖
Cklare Siazon That's henber for you 😊 Do you also ship them? haha
Rina Gracia I’m part Filipino and once had a teacher ask me if I was Indian
EVERYONE:
