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

Hello, White people want very much your attention and worship however they can get it.White people get special kicks out of wanting to be superior to non whites around the earth.If you have a dilemma or problem,Let the white man fix it for you so they can feel better about themselves.White people crave leaving their home or land to travel to your place of dwelling,to teach,educate and brainwash your skull.Once brainwashing has commenced,you soul is replaced with a white one.How do you know you soul has been replaced? 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
