    How does one get into teaching English and Spanish abroad as a Latino? I’m interested in moving to Asia for a couple years and make money by teaching ESL

    Many a Mexican is mistaken for Asian because of their phenotype. We have some like that in my dad’s family. It’s that distant connection that we have with Asia.

      South Americans, the native ones, fall under the mongoloid phenotype, right?

    East Asians, South East Asians, South Americans, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans mostly fall under the same phenotype. So that's probably why you were confused for them:))))

      It's really cool tho! Going abroad to Asia, it's legit being able to blend in as Asian haha. I get immediately singled out as Mexican in the U.S. by white people 😂.

      it is no so extrange, the ancestors of amerindians crossed the Bering Strait from Asia. What I found interesting is that they resemble you phenotype to those of mixed asian and turkish ancestors. So european+amerindians mix equals turkish+west asian mix. 😂😂😂

    The funny thing is that Uygur people are the ones that are in Koncentration camps (re-education centers), because they have a different culture and religion (like you do) than what the CCP allows. Saying that you want to live there may be a tourist view of things, leaving there should encourage you to ask expats what is to leave in China as a non Chinese. For Chinese, if you are not born Chinese, you will never be Chinese. You are thinking of Obama or Sunak, no in China there is race supremacy and is part of the culture. Humans in China, we are not equal. They aim to one day rule the world with the CCP as its head...

      Oh, I said live in Asia. By that, I mean, I'm moving to the Philippines in a year and a half. I'm only going to visit China as a tourist though because there's a lot of cool things to see. I'll meet one of my language partners.
      As far as living somewhere and never being X whatever, yeah. I already have lived that for 23 years in the U.S. hahaha. But generally from when I've been to Asia, my race has never been a problem. In the U.S., it has been.
