@@kingjamestres so you're thinking when the Chinese guy spoke English that he spoke with a Spanish accent? ...or that this guy thought he was speaking awesome Spanish but it was Chinese accented Spanish? Sorry, I'm trying to figure out your reply.
I've known Chinese people who can't speak proper Chinese because of their hometown accent, and they speak amazing English. It's pretty interesting how language works.
Interesting fact there's actually multiple generations of some east asians in Latin America.. And even the USA. Some emigrated to North and South America in the 1800s. The railroad in the US was built because of the Chinese so fair to say they've been here longer than the Irish and Italians even

I used to work in a grocery store hot deli that had a Chinese department, and one of the cooks/managers was an older Chinese man who spoke fluent Spanish as he used to live in Panama. He was hilarious, and still is one of my favorite coworkers. It was funny when new workers would come in, because they'd never expect the Chinese man speaking broken English with a heavy Chinese accent to just start speaking Spanish out of nowhere lol
Chinese food in Panama was the best food I’ve ever had. There’s actually a very large Chinese population there. They call small markets “Chinitos” because there’s so many little shops owned by Chinese-Panamanian people
I believe the number you're looking for is 10%. The Peruvian govt calculates that approximately 10% of it's population is of Asian descent. That's both Chinese and Japanese. So about 3.3M ceviche-eating, potato-loving, soccer-playing Asians. 😂
@@andrewso781 Me too. I guess I wasn't aware of the numbers like actually in Peru but here in Jersey where I'm from, most Peruvians I've met have Asian blood so I naturally assumed it must be a high number. Guess it's just the ones that happened to migrate here.

Race is woven into the centuries of American law. An anti-miscegenation law was repealed as recently as the year 2000. You try having race tied to the very laws you live by for centuries, and not be obsessed with it. There were years of meetings to determine what makes a person black, with other groups fighting to not be considered black. Half of this country's economy was built on racism. Not saying I like it, but just like Americans don't know other countries' histories, other countries don't know our very flawed history.

In Canada we have francophone Irish. My uncle once tried to convince me that a friend of the family was French. "He's from Quebec and he speaks French". Yes, yes he does. And is name is McDougal! During the Irish potato famine many Irish came to Canada. Many settled in Quebec. Considering that English isn't the language of the Celts they didn't have an issue with learning French in their adopted country. We now have had many generations of Irish-Canadians who are fluent in French as their first language. That doesn't make them ethnically French. They are francophones.
