Which region is related to which region

Which region is related to which region?
Hello, everyone. I am mixed with the different ethnicities of Korean (Goguryeo-Saram) and Japanese (original Japanese and Japanese Ainu). Living in Japan, I looked much like a Japanese Ainu person. I have light skin, a much taller, narrower, and larger nose, crescent-shaped, single folded eyelids, taller bone structure and body structure, and full, thick hair on my body and face. I'm here to once and for all answer all the questions to who is related to who. I noticed that a lot of people have discussions and arguments over who is related to who. My father is a scientist who knows a lot of minorities and DNA, and also, I have a school major in ethnicites. It is obvious that everyone has migrated originally from different parts of Africa, but different ethnicities have migrated through different paths which explains how people of different ethnicities look in their own unique way. The people who originated in the north tend to have light skin, a much taller, narrower, and larger nose, crescent-shaped, single folded eyelids, taller bone structure and body structure, and full, thick hair on the body and face while the people who originated in the south tend to have darker skin, a much shorter, smaller, and flatter nose, round-shaped, double folded eyelids, shorter bone structure and body structure, and less or no hair on the body and/or face. This explains why the Northeast Asians who include the Koreans, Japanese, Mongolians, native Siberians, North-Central Asians, Arctic (Eskimo, Inuit), and a small percentage of the Northeast Asian (Manchurian) Chinese have the northern features while the Southeast Asians who include Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Singapore have the southern features, because these people originated from the Austronesian, southern Chinese, and native Taiwanese region. Geographically speaking southern China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau are sometimes grouped in the Southeast Asia subregion, although politically they are rarely grouped as such. Austronesian peoples predominate in this region. The languages, cultures, appearances, dialects, and other importances are extremely different. The Southeast Asians originated from southern China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The Northeast Asians originated from Mongolia, Siberia, North-Central Asia which explains the relation to the Ural-Altaic region. In the Southeast Asian cuisines, the southern Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Macau, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Singapore, the cuisines seems to include stir-frying techniques, corn starch, chicken, pork, un-sticky, jasmine rice which explains why the Southeast Asians seem to eat unhealthier cuisines. In the Northeast Asian cuisines, people seem to eat simplier cuisines without using the stir-frying techniques, corn starch and more using the techniques of grilling, raw, steaming, and sun-drying, eating fish and sticky, Japonica rice which explains why the Northeast Asians live healthier. Even the cultures are extremely different. The Japanese and the Koreans are the only ethnicities to not be colonized, conquered, or influenced by foreign nations while the other parts of Asia which mainly includes Southeast Asia as being conquered, colonized, or influenced by a large portion of foreign nations. People say Thailand was the only country in Southeast Asia to not have contact with foreign nations, but there was a small portion in Thailand to be conquered by the French empire. Korea was colonized by the Japanese and the Mongolians while the Japanese were never colonized by any nation. Lastly, the languages are extremely different. If you hear the Southeast Asian language, you can hear influences from China, India, their own native Austronesian region, and possibly Europe. If you hear the Northeast Asian language, you can hear an influence from their own native, Ural-Altaic dialects. This explains why the Southeast Asian dialects which includes the southern Chinese and native Taiwanese have the sound of more diverse, rougher sounds while the Korean, Japanese, and Ural-Altaic have more smoother, less, unique sounds. Also, the Filipinos consider themselves to be Pacific Islanders. This does not create a large difference, because the Pacific Islanders and the Polynesians are also said to originate from south China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. I even hear that Filipinos think they look Hispanic people. In my opinion that is offensive to the Hispanic people. Filipinos are Southeast Asians who have originated from a different region. The Hispanic originated from Siberia, Bering Straight 10, 000 years ago. The Hispanic people have different bone structures from the Southeast Asians. W

Oh w8 filipinos look southern chinese though... I have it a bit difficulty differentiating southern chinese and thai with filipinoes because many filipinos may be mixed and have stronger influences one side. Anyway filipinos don't look hispanic unless they're mixed spanish... but in general south east asians tend to be shorter, and tan, while north east are taller and paler err fairer? I have to say that its difficult to guess a person's ethnicity because theres just been a lot of inter ethnic mixing so people look like this but are acutally that. Ethnic korean's are very easy to identify lOl, because they are VERY different to the stereotypical asian view, japanese and chinese are difficulty and so are vietnamese and filipinos from luzon

Why do people always compare ethnicities

Why do people always compare ethnicities?
Alright. I really want to discuss this and have as many people answer if they wish. My mother is half British and half Japanese, and my father is Japanese, so I have almost all Japanese DNA except for the 1/4 of British DNA. I was born in Sapporo, Japan, then moved south to Nagoya, Japanese. Right now, I live in Busan, South Korea. Anyways, in my opinion, I feel all ethnicities that were created is what makes every culture to be unique. But, whenever I'm just curious about what questions are asked in Yahoo Answers there's always people trying to compare ethnicities and saying like, "My people share the same DNA with", and then they list whatever ethnicities they want to compare themselves with. Why do you think countries have their own territories? Every country has their own culture which is interesting to me. Like, let's talk about Asia. Asia is a huge continent. When certain countries are in a certain continent, WHY THE HELL WOULD THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN EVERY ETHNICITY ARE ALL RELATED? It doesn't make any sense to me? The Middle-East is part of the Arabic race along with the Greek colonies mainly in Iran and the French colonies mainly in Syria. Then, the South Asian region is mostly the Indian race along with the British colonies. Now, sure, some ethnicities could have mixed, but that doesn't mean all were mixed. In Central Asia and Northern Asia there are usually Slavic people due to the Russian Empire which covered large portions of Asia. In East Asia, there is China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan, and Siberia. Now, since I'm Japanese, I can always tell what ethnicity a person is. In Southeast Asia, the countries are Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, et cetera. Then, if you shift more to the Pacific, there are the Polynesian region like Hawaii, Samoa, et cetera. Now, I've been hearing this question a lot, "Who are the Japanese related to?" I'll let you know, because every Japanese person knows who they are. From history, the Japanese originated from mainly three different races, the Ainu, Yayoi, and the Jomon. From what I learned in Japan, the Japanese people originated from the Korean peninsula which were mainly the Yayoi people. With the Ainu and the Jomon, it hasn't been discovered yet, but in my opinion, every person who is Japanese looks similiar and the closest to the Korean people. With the Chinese, the Han Chinese civilization originated from China. That is why the Chinese culture is very well respected since it is very ancient. The Han Chinese are the largest population as a whole. In southeast Asia, there are the Austronesian people which also includes the Polynesian people. Now, in theory, Austronesians originated from two main areas. The first, was Taiwan which is an island that used to be connected to the southern portion of China. The second, was Madagascar, which is an island in Africa. Most of the migration from Madagascar moved towards southeast Asia on the Malay region like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, et cetera. In the Philippines, the migration was mainly from Taiwan, south China. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, were mainly from the south China mainland. There are mainly 3 million overseas Chinese in southeast Asia, Polynesia. So, the Austronesian, Polynesian, are all related to the Han Chinese race. Of course, there were colonizations from Europe, like the French in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, then the Dutch and the Portuguese in Indonesia, the British in Burma, Brunei, and the Spaniards in the Philippines. There were also migrations of Indians who migrated to southeast Asia, so a lot of Indians intermarried with the Chinese, and the native, southeast Asian Austronesians. Taiwan was also colonized by the Portuguese along with China who was colonized by the British. In Korea, there were colonizations and influences from Mongolia and later on Japan. In Japan, there were no colonizations or influences. But, obviously, since the Han Chinese race is very large, the Chinese culture influenced many nations, Asia, Europe, et cetera. Moving on to the Americas in the north, central, south, and even the Carribean, the inhabitants were the Native Americans, Africans mainly from West Africa, now residing in the Carribean mainly, and the Latin Europeans like the Spaniards, French, Italians, along with Syrians and Lebanese. In Africa, there were many colonies mainly from Europe, like the Germans, British, Italians in the North African region, along with Arabic people mainly in North Africa and East Africa. In South Africa, there were many Indonesians, Chinese, Indians, Europeans, southeast Asians, et cetera. In Australia, there were colonizations mainly from the United Kingdom, the British, but there were many migrations from Ireland, Scotland, Wales. There were also Latin Europeans from Greece, Italy, and also the Syrians and the Lebanese. Now, there is a theory that every hum an originated from Africa. So humans are all related. Oh, I forgot to ask, it's so funny, I sometimes have people "wtf? WHY DO YOU CARE?, YOUR NOT EVEN JAPANESE". Like Chinese, southeast Asians, Polynesians, are always asking me, and I always tell them that the Japanese are related to the Koreans. It's funny how, mostly Filipinos, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Indonesians, Hawaiians, always try to think that the Japanese are related to them, when they DO NOT SHARE ANY DNA. The Japanese are related to Koreans. The Japanese don't even have similiar cuisines, appearances, cultures, languages, with the Chinese, southeast Asians, Polynesians. It's funny, because I think Filipinos don't want to accept the fact that their people originated from Taiwan, China, so they pretend to act like their Japanese. By the way, Korea was the only portion of the Japanese Empire for many years. China, Taiwan, southeast Asia, Polynesian, weren't even part of the Japanese Empire till much later and for a very sho rt period of time. There were no colonizations, influences in those regions. OSo, the people of the Americas, north, south, central, and even the carribean, are Native Americans and Latin Europeans (Spaniards, Italians, French, even Greeks) along with the Middle-East Arabic (Syria, Lebanon), but there were many migrations from West Africa. In Africa, there are the indigenous Africans along with European colonies (Germans, British, Dutch, Spanish, Italians, Portuguese, et cetera) in different parts of Africa. I'm not African, but the north African, Central African, East African, and South African all look different originated from different regions of Africa. In North Africa though, it is mainly the Arabic race. In Australia, mostly there were pure Europeans from British, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, but the Latin Europeans also migrated, along with the Syrians and the Lebanese. The indigenous Australians and the indigenous New Zealanders, were mainly from the Austronesian, Polynesian, Han C hinese region originated from Taiwan, south China, Madagascar region. Many Chinese and Vietnamese communites exist in Australia, New Zealand. In the Arabic race, a few also migrated towards Latin Europe mainly in Greece, southern Italy, Sicily, but of course, a few could have migrated towards southern France and Spain, Portugal. In India, rarely some may look Arabic, but some look like only Indian people, you can tell if someone is Indian. In Central Asia, the indigenous people are almost extinct, so the Russian Slavic people migrated to Central Asia and Northern Asia. Most of the Mongolian, paleo-Siberian, Central Asian, native Alaskan Eskimos, native Greenlanders are all almost extinct. In my research, the people of these regions are called the Tungusic, Altaic, Uralic, Turkic ethnicity originating from the Altai mountains in Siberia. What's interesting is that the Korean people along with Japanese people also originated from the Altai mountains, so the extinct people are mainly all Okay, no offense, but Japanese people look like Koreans. I mean Japanese people look nothing like the Han Chinese, Chinese, southeast Asians, or Pacific Islanders. Even people who aren't even Japanese like Russians always think that they know more about Japanese culture than any one, and their not even close to the Japanese at all. There are no similiarities between the Russians, Chinese, southeast Asians, Pacific Islanders, NO SIMILIARTIES WITH THE JAPANESE. All the culture from Korea was passed on to Japan. It's funny because the Chinese, southeast Asians, Pacific Islanders, especially Han Chinese and Austronesian Filipinos always try to say Japanese look like them, and I can't even see the resemblence. JAPANESE LOOK LIKE KOREANS!!! Chinese, southeast Asians, Pacific Islanders look like each other and southeast Asians don't want to admit that they look like Chinese. It's pretty sad how certain races try to compare one race to others. Lastly, Chinese, southeast Asians, Pacific Islande

Ask yourself this,do you crave power and domination? Do you crave being the richest man in the world? Do you prefer white skin,Blonde hair,blue eyes more than the rest of 6.9 billion population that does not have these features? Do you crave giving up your culture,people,language,facial features,and morale conscious to better please the white race? Do you slave for the white mans dollar bills and rather use the money to help white mans agendas and not help your people.These and many more white people philosophies are very much indicative of many non whites around the world.The white race must play God at all cost to control your view and substitute their reality in it's place

Can you please revise my college essay

Can you please revise my college essay?
I'm applying as an international student, fyi.. I know the essay is very raw and needs a lot of changes, and I personally think it sucks bad, but this is my third attempt at writing my college essay, and my application is due Dec 1st, so there isn't a whole lot I can do anymore.. Technical critiques will be enough, but other comments will be appreciated. Thank you. A Peek into the Life of an Illegal Immigrant Am I a nomad? I am Mongolian, that’s for sure. Yes, we were nomadic when we, my mother and I, migrated to the U.S., thinking the place held all the keys to happiness and affluence, but I don’t believe we are anymore. You would not have doubted my total belief in becoming happier and richer than ever if you had seen me that cool September night at the airport terminal waiting to board my flight, surrounded by family and friends. You could not have said anything to make me believe otherwise… A girl of eleven, almost twelve, hops up and down on one leg, playing hopscotch on the conveniently placed tiles, her jubilant cry coming out muffled as she loses her footing. Next, she takes turns between riding a luggage cart and pushing one of her countless cousins on it. She is careless, confident and smug of her luck, of the fact that she is leaving everybody behind for America, the land where people only dream of going. She is going to live in an at least two story house and speak perfect English, and hopefully and quickly become Americanized. No one could have told me how, in fact, it was really to be. I never would have thought up by myself that far from owning a house, we were to be taken in as roommates, but eventually reversing our positions by renting our own apartment and taking in others as roommates. Who would have thought that the school I was placed in would put me in a HILT (High Intensity Language Training) program for speaking that little English that I did among others whose English was no better than mine, thus potentially slowing down the process of becoming a better English speaker? Certainly not I. Why was my mother, the smartest, the strongest woman I know, a civil engineer by profession, who raised me by herself and obtained all that we’ve needed with her own two hands and brain, juggling two jobs, whether it be as a waitress, as a cashier, and/or as a caregiver for the elderly, despite being perpetually tired? She was strong, all right. She had planned she was going to raise me in the U.S. and give me an American education along with a grasp of the English language that fellas over in Mongolia would lust over, and boy, she was going to do it. Our biggest setback was the absence of that little card indicating permanent residency. I know now when being nomads became a thing of the past; it was as soon as we put foot in the U.S.,—we could not just take leave like migratory birds if the situation got hard. Instead, we became sort of like bears who go into hibernation to evade the deprivations of winter, only instead of curling up and going to slumber for hours—more like months—on end, we fought back to make the best of our circumstance. After all, this land is what you make of it; you work hard, you get paid, fair and square. Although the prospect of returning to the security of our home and family in Mongolia seemed welcoming, we were not going to give up; we were going to persevere. I did come upon a recipe to subdue one of the aforementioned complaints and surprises. There were the books, abundant and free; books available by the tons, from this genre to that genre, from slim to thick, from sad to hilarious, from useless to life-changing. You want a book, you go get it, from your school library, online, from Barnes & Noble, or from the choice of three of your nearest public libraries. Heck, you could even write one yourself. This infatuation with books started from Molly Learns a Lesson: A School Story (American Girls Collection), and it got me kicked out of HILT, not that I was too bummed about that. Basically I could tell you about all the hardships I faced and how overcoming these setbacks had made me stronger and wiser, but I can’t because it wouldn’t be accurate. In all honesty, I am still growing. I am still trying to learn whatever it is life wants me to take out of all this. All I know so far is despite my shattered, childish expectations, I must keep trying and working my hardest until I get the end result that I want. My mother’s efforts and sacrifice offered me a perspective that once I saw, I could not un-see, making me more motivated than ever to come out on top. As long as I know what my goals are, I will not be lost. The U.S. has a lot more offer, I know. I just need to grab at it.

How do I deal with alcoholic father

How do I deal with alcoholic father?
I'm 13 years old. I live with my father who is 46 and my sister who is 19. My mother is in Mongolia struggling to come to the US to help us out. My father is an alcoholic. He is not abusive and has never hit me or my sister EVER and I love him very much. When there are people coming over and holidays and such my dad drinks alot. Once he starts to drink he won't stop drinking for about 3 weeks and he has really bad heart. He is lucky to have such a nice boss and still has his job. My sister has a job also. Once he runs out of money to buy white alcohol he would use the rent money or ask my sister for money. I'm just really worried about his health. What would happen to me and my sister if he passes away? My sister can't take care of me with $200 a week job. The only way I can deal with this pain is by playing video games and sometimes I would cut my self. My father complain that I play too much video games and he would keep saying that he loves me and my sister so much. We don't have enough money to get help.

Tell him if he really does love you, he would consider giving up the alcohol and providing for the family. You might get hit for that one, but I guarantee he will think about that for a long time if he's not too drunk when you tell him. He may cry, but sometimes you need the truth! Who better to tell it than your son?
2 :
The only thing you can do is look in the telephone book for a help line. after you have found one confront your dad and tell him if he truely loves you and your sister he will contact the help line and slowly stop drinking.
3 :
Hi, I know that it's hard to deal with such situations, but it's only you who can help your father to get out of this. Forcefully, make him exercise yoga asana(that help in reducing drinking problem). Blackmail him emotionally, if he loves you then he will surely do that. Talk to him frequently that neither you nor your sister like his drinking problem. Spend more and more time with him and don't let him have a chance to drink. Tell him that you need money for your future studies and he can't waste money in buying more n more alcohol. I will pray for your better future. GOOD LUCK

your father is not alcholic.Your father grow drinking becouse it was normal in ther country and in ther customs..You said that mom is in Mongolia,may be your father miss her a lot.Do not look for other options,help your father,stay toghether.help eachother.Stop playing videogames and help your father to be happy.Your father it is very lucky by having a wonderfull child like you,so you have to be the loving family he misses and show to him how much you need him.Tell him that you love him and the you need him a lot,every single day.Money it,s not a issue.He is a good man and he is lonly.Love him,take care of him,you are his only familyTalk to him,ask him to take you to the park,be persistant and be nice.Be tugh and be lovly.You can make a diference,and keep trying.If you trust me I am 44 and the only person keep me straight it is my 7 year old baby.She show me how much love can move people to be a bether persons,and I still drinking.But with moderation and only in home.You have the power,tell your dad how lucky he is,give him a letther with a heart and wins,tell him how much you love him and do every thing toghether to bring mom home.

i understand , my dad is an alcoholic but not an abusive one , he is a functioning one. im 17 and still dont know what to do about it, all you can do is encorage your father to go to the doctor and seek help and try to explian to him that if he continues the way he is he is going to distroy your life. there is help out there for the relatives of alcholoics, ask your local GP, rember your not alone. dont you have a local walk in clinic? thats free? best of luck
