I'm full East Asian but sometimes get mistaken as Latino, Middle Eastern, or Xinjiangnese.
I'm half Filipino half European American, and my Living DNA results shows my Asian ancestry mostly being Southeast Asian and South Chinese, along with Japanese ancestry, South Asian ancestry, and Austronesian ancestry. So yes, Fung Bros are right when they say a lot of Asians are mixed, and I am living proof of that.
@@missplainjane3905if he lives in the U.S. they don't talk about their "white" side because it's deemed undesirable by leftist.
I am 100% Vietnamese according to 23 and me. But most people think I am Filipino, including my Vietnamese people. LOL
You are not 100% Vietnamese you could be mix with Champa cuz Vietnam took champa out of the map if you look like Filipino than you are mix with champa …real Vietnamese is ugly
Dont get flattered. That means your u ly.
@@cristiano7ronaldoTHEGOAT Maybe so, but you're clearly ignorant!!! LOL
@@cristiano7ronaldoTHEGOATtell me what country are you? I think in your country don't have ugly people because you have a perfect country all people in your country are perfect beautiful
You will get offended by that??
Filipino looks like all kinds of Asians because our people are very diverse so if you don't know the Asian race, just consider them Filipino, we don't feel offended, promise.
Most filipinos have round eyes..
@@marizcampolet2729 ...due to colonization by Spain.
@@slimjim394nope, south East Asian have round eyes. :)
I showed some pics of celebrities from China/SKorean and this acquaintance who's white, and first word comes out of his mouth "must be mix if they're so tall". I explained to him people from northeast China and SKorea are pretty tall for both male and female, he didn't believe me
Meanwhile, I'm a mix Bewteen Indian and Irish so I get called Egyptian most of the time
Egyptian & Indians dont look too different though.
I know a Filipino who's always mistaken as Spanish
Trust me, you dont look European Spanish unless you are like 40-100% European.
Mexican/Latino I guess
@@Normalman777q she's so mixed, her mother side have Filipino, Spanish, Korean and Japanese. Her dad's side has Spanish, Indian and Filipino. She's pale during winter months , but can also get a good tan in the summer. She's not that tall almost 5'3". She has the brow bridge, high nose, wavy to curly light brown hair. Body wise, even if she's skinny, she still has the curves
Filipinos always making that assumption and only analyzing to less than 3%
@@user-ob8vx7mx1s Bro no single Filipino looks ''Spanish European'' they wish because some Filipinos have low self esteem and self hate. Anything non-Asian looking is always loved and made superior or something. A Filipino Mestizo/mestiza so called who looks very European could possibily pass for Spanish, but Asian genes are very strong and many so called mixed half Filipinos still look kind of Asian.
@@Normalman777q most mexicans have a native american look lolol I have eyes that see. Spanish are European.
I'm Hmong, and some people think I'm native American. Even a Cherokee native thinks I'm one of the natives from Arizona. 😂
I was in the Twin Cities and no less than two times, South Korean tourists asked whether I was Korean. People who keep insisting THEY KNEW who's whom by "just looking at them" are lying.
If Native American confused YOU, a Hmong, for Natives from the Arizona tribes... and if SOUTH KOREANS asked me, a Hmong, if I was one of them, ON AVERAGE, we can't really tell in real life, on the street, if we meet other groups... outside of those very easily stereotyped (the very dark, very pales, very tall, very short, very ugly, very handsome, etc. that they PRE-LOANDED into their brains from watching popular shows and moves... as to how this or that group SHOULD look like; but those are largely MADE up, artificial/superficial, being their heights).
Roughly 99.99% of South Korean women DO NOT look like the dozen or so surgically cut & grafted, in endless expensive operations, South Korea movies actresses...
When I told my nieces & nephews that SOUTH KOREANS confused me for one of them, they say, "Uncle... you don't look like a South Korean."
But what my nieces and nephews --- younger and less experienced in life, much more influenced by FAULTY pop culture beliefs --- meant was: "Uncle, you are NO 6'1" South Koran actor..."
But, again, they don't realize is that the AVERAGE South Korean LOOKS more like I am THAN THEY LOOK like that 6'1" Korean actor (or actress) who have dozens of expensive plastic surgeries...
BTW, I have a brother who has lived his entire adult life in Japan, teaching and living among Chinese.
He majored in Japanese in college; his mannerism and everything is Japanese (as a toddler crazy with Japanese animation in the 1990s. After 15+ years of living in Japan, speaking only Japanese, few if any Japanese could tell he's not Japanese. They MAY think he has a tiny accent; but they likely would say he's "probably" from another prefecture....
ON AVERAGE ---- outside of the very big, very small, very dark, very white, very stereotypical ---- you simply CAN'T tell people apart, in terms of "who is whom." That's just pop culture; it's not reality.
In reality, and for about 90% of people in the "middle" or any range... it is RALLY HARD to tell us apart, within a certain group.
Once I had a very pale Mexican American student and her LAST name was spelled YUKASE. I swear I must have asked her a few times whether she's Japanese or whether she had grandparents who came from Japan. Nope, she said. I am 100% Mexican!
If she were to stand among a bunch of Japanese girls, NO ONE would have been able to tell "she's definitely not Japanese."
reminds me of a Vietnamese friend I had he looks exactly like any other Vietnamese but with a tan and Mexicans try to speak Spanish with him
I love that you two always talk about all kinds of topics. I also feel like people who have larger eyes who are mixed with Asian may not be seen as Asian because the features are not what people are used to seeing.
Happens to me all the time. When I went to Vietnam and Thailand, people always asked me where I was from. My dad is of Chinese (family name is 葉) and Japanese descent and my mom is of Austronesian (Filipino) and Spanish descent (family name Rodriguez). I worked in Bermuda a decade ago and a fellow Filipino mistook me for another ethnicity. I am fair-skinned and have a bit of a cross between round and slanted eyes, and my sister doesn't look like me as she is tan-skinned but has rounder eyes than me. So yeah, totally get the spectrum/bell curve.
i am a filipino too but you look like a filipino tho (but here in luzon region) maybe your sister look like someone from south, that is where the stereotypical filipino look lives mostly

Love you guys's commentary😊❤ it is so informative, fun, cool and refreshing and you guys are so respectful 🥰🥰💝 Keep up the good work💯
I’m from a Filipina, Chinese, Spanish Italian descent.. and nobody could ever get it right that I was originally from Philippines.. everybody I initially talked to assumed that I was either Spanish, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian… and I am so proud of how I am not easily distinguished as Asian bc of my round eyes. 😂
because the steortype filipino look is big eyes big flat nose and thick lips which is not even true. people who have that kind of features are even minority in our country
lol Spanish Italian daw
I’m Filipino and have big eyes and lips. Ppl think I’m mix.
im a tall vietnameze guy with tall noze bridge and i am very pale, allmozt all people think that im from greenland, ezkimo,inuit.
I’m ABC but a lot of people think I’m Vietnamese, and for some reason lately people have thought I’m Japanese.
@fredyuen2489...Bro you don't look Japanese at all with all respect. You look very Chinese to SouthEast Asian which some Chinese are aswell near that region of the country.
vietnameses are not abc tho
@@s2oop436 I know that, I said I get mistaken as Vietnamese
Look vietnamese to me, not japanese at all
@@fredyuen2489you’re lucky it means you don’t have small eyes.
Not me being mixed Asian with round eyes and just realizing now why they always say u look white lmao
😂
I'm an ABC. Both parents are FJ. I have naturally darker skin and "round eyes". Also can grew a full thick beard. I've been called everything but chinese growing up. My wife is Chinese as well. But my daughter has a mocha skin tone (combo of me and my pale wife) and she has my eyes. The amount of people that think she's a latin Asian mix is unbelievable.
@@LennyLam During the Yuan Dynasty, there were many Persian and Arab traders, as well as Mongol Turkish garrisons in Fujian. Maybe you're descended from them.
I'm of Japanese descent, but have been mistaken for being Eurasian by some people, because of my facial and body hair, my eyes, etc. And I have more so-called "East Asian" features than my dad and his side of the family had. They were dark-skinned than many Japanese, and also had naturally wavy hair and their noses were not as "flat." They were still Japanese, but had more indigenous Japanese DNA, like Jomon, or possibly Ryukyuan, Austronesian, Ainu, etc. If having "Asian-looking eyes" makes someone Asian, then I guess that John Wayne, Elon Musk, etc., have/had Asian ancestry.
I believe Jomon is more caucasoid
I'm sure there were skin color variations among Jomon people, like any other groups. Who knows which mixture we were. My paternal grandfather was stocky and over 6 feet tall, extremely rare for Japanese persons (and even most Europeans) who were born in the 1880s. And Jomon were supposedly shorter than the later-arriving Yayoi. He was from Kyushu, far away from most of the Ainu in Northern Japan/Hokkaido, and Sakhalin. If I were to ever get a DNA test, it sure wouldn't be from 23 and Me. I would rather get one through some legit DNA testing service in Japan, if there are any. I don't think any American or Western-based testing would be nearly as meticulous when it comes to testing East Asian DNA.
Remember Portugal also had historic interactions with Japan. Just as ANY nation with historic international interactions there will always be some mixing no matter how small
Body hair is good to have, except for parts of face, inside hands, under feets, side of torso all my body is covered by hair.
My full beard is truely magnificent.
John Wayne? 😂nah that’s just what my folks call tight eyes
My moms grandma is half Chinese while my dads side is Filipino with Spanish genetics somewhere in there from thousands of years ago
I always wanted to have chi nky eyes like my cousin "M" when he was a lil kid but my genetics didn't work out that way 😂😢
Just speaking for Eastern Asians/Chinese: Single eyelids are caused from cold weather, preventing eyes hurt from snows and cold winds, so more people in the North have single eyelids. People in Middle and South tend to have more double eyelids.
The Nordic white people are saying, “whaaaat?!”
@@JohnLee-db9zt Whaaat? You don’t understand difference between eye sockets and eye lids? Asians don’t even have the eye sockets structure Nordic whites have, I was talking about eye lids
And this is why Swedes and Norwegians tend to have pretty small eyes.
@@JohnLee-db9zt Compared to people in Southern Europe、the Middle East and Central Asian Caucasus，The Nordic white people tend to have pretty small eyes for sure.
Yes you can Cambodian and thailand we all have round eye only the one mix with Chinese have small eye
South korean
We're African and my Husband is Pitch Black, Lupita Black... He has Asian eyes! Which was part of the allure when I met him 😂 I'm regular Black with regular eyes 😩
Please don’t say regular eyes… black people come in different features including smaller set eyes, doesn’t mean it’s not regular or normal.
@@Bluecheese1400 My Husband's look is definitely not Regular, He looks Spectacular!... In my eyes of course! Also my eyes are less than regular, thank God they have a pretty shape but I can't see i_sh... Myopia! Heavy. But I see what you mean and I agree. All looks come from Africa.
I'm Lao, Hmong, and Vietnamese .. when I was younger , in America most non Asians assumed all Asians are Chinese, I believe I look more Vietnamese because sometimes Vietnamese people mistakenly speak Vietnamese to me assuming I can speak Vietnamese, which I don't. I also traveled in the Philippines and majority of the Filipinos assumed I was Korean Lol. I do not have small/slanted eyes. I think people who are non-Asian especially in western cultures who don't have many Asians in their circle correlate Asian with Chinese who typically who are associated with having small/slanted eyes. So if you're mixed Chinese with round eyes then you're mixed Asian, Ignorance plays a big roll with that logic though.
As a Filipino with mixed Chinese Viet ancestry growing up in Vancouver, I just have a LOT of fun with people of all races making assumptions and taking wild guesses at who or what I am. 🤣
My daughter has the same experience. You can have fun with that but I'm sure its annoying also. We may have added some to the mystery by giving her a Russian first name because she's zero Russian. That really confuses people. A Russian first name, Spanish middle name and Anglo last name but she looks suspiciously kind of Asian or is it Hispanic? Middle easterner? Hahaha.
She's actually Filipino, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English and Chinese. I show up at a Filipino house party and they only ask us where our daughter is. What am I? Chopped liver?
You being a pinay🇵🇭 is the only original East/S.E.Asian because we Pinoys are BASAL people. Everyone else are brand new people that only been around for thousands of years. Not 709K years. We Pinoys(Austronesians) came from Archaic Humans. Larena Gene Study 2021. All the "popular" Asians are new leaves on top of the human family tree.... We Pinoys are one of the ROOTS that PREDATE 80% of Ethnicities currently on Earth.
Exactly you nailed it. Like me, I’m also a mixed half Filipino from my mothers side. My fathers side, my paternal grandfather, they are both born and raised in Hong Kong, and including myself during British rule. But their bloodline is from the Punjab region, but now it’s modern day Pakistan, which was before British India aka British Raj. So for them on the surface they look south Asian (I.e Pakistani), but speak fluent English and Cantonese.
For me, being born, raised in Hong Kong, and also grew up in England since I was 12, I’ve also developed an English accent, not particularly a regional accent from the counties, just clean southern accent. Some people think I’m from New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Lebanon, Singapore,Malaysia, Fiji, Samoa and the Philippines.
Those were all the numerous countries I’ve remembered people named 😂. Of course some south Asians, also just assume I might be Sri Lankan, Indian, Pakistani, but once I speak, I smile and say “I share almost half of my blood line with you chaps” 😊.
When one has the opportunity to confirm and tell someone their heritage mix, it is also nice to see peoples faces light up about the fact that you shared something close about you with them. And it’s nice. I like it, and I am happy my mum and dad met, to eventually bring me up into this world 😊.
To my fellow Asians and mixed Asians 🤝
I’m half Chinese and viet, I’ve gotten 🤒Filipino and thai. But Korean and Japanese is the most common. (Oddest ones I’ve gotten was Spanish and even white, mind you that was only when I used to wear grey colored contacts and had ash hair color).
So who are you?
Like most ignorant people do, when you can't tell what ethnic background they are,
just assume they are MEXICAN OR HISPANIC.
Lolol not them going “are you sure?” From their assumption when you gave them confirmation that their assumption is wrong.
Its coz the term “Asian” overseas has been synonymous to “Chinese” representation of small-eyed monolid feature people, like those seen in Chinatowns abroad. Even for Indian & Filipino, also among highest diaspora abroad, many dont know they are Asian too, but somehow Indian are just simple referred to as Indian, and same for Filipinos. Many dont know Asia is so big with diverse people, like there’s East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Indian, Persian, Middle East, and Western Asia like Israel, Palestine, Syria, Turkiye.
Exactly.
Also, even for ppl considered representation of Chinese, they’re actually mostly southern Chinese and can look very different from Northern Chinese.
A tall tail sign of Asians is no eye lashes. I still remember that meme of a Panda, 🐼 with no dark eye circles
been discussing this since I was a kid and will go on
This video is my life.I m mixed East Asian , Indian and white . I get guessed as EVERYTHING. I have long legs , am tall and have verY dark skin. Because of this combination im mistaken as blasian especially if my hair Is in a very short fade. I live in Japan.
They repeatedly talk chinese japanese korean filipino vietnam👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻but they dont say any thai indon malay 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Filipinos have special place in their vlog.
I has Asians asked my son if he's asian because he has slant eyes. Asiana has eyes who were ancient because they were from.
AFRCIA. My daughter, who is black people think she has white parent until they see me.
Haha… I’ve always gotten this, even when I was young. My mom would get so offended because it would imply that she’s a war bride (it was around that era).
Nope! I’m pure Chinese (Taishanese/Cantonese) as far as I know! And the older I got, the more East Asian I appeared.
The hapa benefits would have been nice though! However, I wouldn’t have gotten the full perks having a Chinese last name and all. 😂
Han Chinese people typically prefer looks that are mixed of Northern and Southern Chinese Phenotypes (Actors who are representation of these ideal look are Dylan Wang-actor, Ao Rui Peng-actor, Gong Jun-actor) and Jiangnan looking Chinese (Chen Hong- actress, Leon Lai Yi-actor/people who are not Chinese might think he look slightly Japanese, Hu ge-actor), and of course Fujian/Taiwan has a lot of Northern Southern Chinese look mixed that are ideal to Chinese people like (Wallace huo- actor, Zhang Jingchu-actress), and also North Eastern Chinese have a lot of tall Models (Zhao Lei-model as an example). Those people are on average what Chinese people consider the ideal looks, but every one has different taste in real life so those are just for reference as text book pretty or handsome in China. FYI ideals are different for each regions in China of course and different people will have different taste too. No one look is better than another, and just because one look southern or south east asian does not mean they are not beautiful or handsome in the eyes of others. You never know who will find you attractive at the end of the day with what phenotype you have. Else where in the worlds have other so called ideal looks that people find hot and what not.
… damn cool… unfortunately I don’t have those phenotypes…
Dude has a Korean hairstyle
thats not korean hair style. if you north korean yes
Full blood Korean here with darker skin, non-flat nose and natural double eyelids. I get mistaken for Filipino or Latino often.
Not all Asians conform to the ww2 era racist cartoon depictions of "yellow peril" Asians with slits for eyes, buck tooth incisors, and flat wide faces that white people think we all look like.
Talking about race and nationality is kinda like talking about what city/neighbhorhood somebody lives in, what kind of job they have, where they go to schoool, etc. It's like we're constantly trying to size each other up.
i have a round eyes and i can assure you i am 💯 asian 😂😂😂
Most people tend to know the difference between people from the information they gain from the media.
This guy is asked if he's Korean because his eyes are like that Korean guy from Lost.
You guys should really do 23 and Me, I really wanna know if h guys are Canto or not!!!!!
How come Kpop all look michael jackson white??
Because that's the beauty standard in South Korea - to be very pale. They have lots of whitening creams & products to make themselves even whiter. They also make people whiter in pics via photoshop. Even the Kpop idols who they consider as "dark" aren't really dark. The Fung Bros (as they are in this vid) would be considered as dark in Korea.
My side of the family alone is "double" the Asian of filipino and Chinese, I don t think I have any Spanish though...Dad is half Chinese, he really looks more Chinese than filipino because he has the monolid eyes and the round, bald head some Older Chinese men have😂 and his siblings also look Chinese more than filipino..however my siblings and I have double lids, except for my older sister, she has the monolids and took after the Chinese side and some of my cousins look Chinese...now my husband is white(has 4 European ancestry) so our daughter is wasian and she has double lids, pointy nose, cappuccino skin and can pass for a Latina...wonder what her kids will look like if she ever has any
Some Cantonese people tend to have olive skin & round eyes & I’ve seen some Japanese people with round eyes too. I myself have been called Chinese, Filipino & Korean. Mostly Chinese & Korean. I’m an ABC for context
Cantonese people are from south China. For centuries, they have been mixed with lot of other ethnic groups more so than their northern counterparts. Apparently, the south and north don’t exactly see eye to eye too because of that distinction.
@@andromedamessier3176 Archaeology suggests that Cantonese have more Southeast Asian ancestry, but many Cantonese insist on claiming descent from northern Chinese.

Identifying race by visual markers is always potentially inaccurate. I’m FilAm, but mixed Asian and Polynesian, and even other Asian’s will misidentify me. A Korean man in an elevator, who still has his S. Korean accent, asked if I was Korean. A Chinese woman asked if I was Chinese, which I am part Chinese, but I know I’m mixed. I do have small eyes, but not the mono lid. Although if my head’s tilted up, it looks like I do have a mono lid. At this point, I expect almost everyone to guess wrong.

Round eyes in Asia 🌏. See 👀 the European 🇪🇺 influences. Spain 🇪🇸-> Philippines 🇵🇭. Netherlands 🇳🇱-> Indonesia 🇮🇩. UK 🇬🇧 -> India 🇮🇳, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬. France 🇫🇷 -> Cambodia 🇰🇭,
Laos 🇱🇦, Vietnam 🇻🇳 . Portugal 🇵🇹-> Macau 🇲🇴, Timor-Leste 🇹🇱.
Not all "round eye" influence in Asia are due to Westerners/ European colonizers. Some of them have round eyes by nature, especially the Austronesians/ Malay race. A lot of Indigenous groups/ tribes like the Aetas, Dumagat in PH 🇵🇭 have large eyes. South Asians/ desi people also have large/ round eyes innately.
I would say that Asian Americans are much more exposed to other Asians than people in Asia itself are, since we have likely mingled with each other, tried different cuisines, etc. at some point.
Someone in inner China has likely never come across a Filipino, Cambodian, Vietnamese, etc.
Perhaps in a more metropolitan city like HK, there may be higher exposure due to the migrant workers, but that is only with a select amount of countries (e.g. Phillipines, Indonesia).
nope. asian americans cant even distinguish if someome is a cantonese or a han chinese. asian american only know the stereotype look. they wont even distinguish if someone is thai or a filipino
I am 100% Han Chinese, I have rounded eyes😂😂😂
The actresses Fan Bing Bing and Angela baby are Han Chinese (to my knowledge) and both have rounded eyes too! (though I don't know if any of them did surgery on their eyes)
I would like to keep my ethnicity to myself because I really do not like people negatively stereotyping my cultural background and assuming what language that I am supposedly to speak. I was mistaken and and assumed as either Chinese or Japanese due to my eyes and my hair.
I know! Besides talking about the weather and other basic sht, there's really no need to talk that much.
But is it really a stereotype if the feature is a well-known Asian phenotype? I don't necessarily think you could blame prejudice or ignorance for people making generalizations, which is something that everyone does regardless of race.
The epicanthic fold is a signature physical East Asian marker. It's also present in other geographies but is mostly associated with Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Those who have less of a pronounced eye fold are typically mixed, so it's perfectly understandable why someone would make that inference (erroneously or not).
A comedian said she was mixed Taiwanese and Japanese and that is why she looks Korean 😂 lol
This is an Asian forum even though technically I'm not "Asian" as a Native American, let me point this out: The "Asian" facial phenotype has the largest distribution on the planet. It ranges all the way from Europe all the way to Siberia and throughout South East Asia and the Pacific, through out the new world and all of North, central and south America over to Greenland and all the way down to the tip of Tierra del fuego in Argentina. If you disregard skin colour, it even goes into West and South Africa within certain subpopulations.
Some people asked me if I was mixed and I tell them I'm half Chinese and most be very surprised 😂
I'm Indonesian, my eyes is round and my skin very tan. And i got asked alot if i have black father/mother. And i don't have stereotypical "Asian names" . And my brother is very light skin and could passing as east asian cause his eyes also kinda small
I like to be a pure Filipino, but I can't, I'm a descendant of Father Damaso.

There are certain dress and hair style of Koreans vs Chinese. If your hip and fashionable, people think your Korean.
First of all, I am female.. I'm what is considered Eurasian, (mixed) I have very small slanted eyes with barely any eyelashes, eyebrows and no eye crease. I have Chinese Ancestry (Dai) but my recent timeline on all this, according to my DNA testing. I am indigenous American, being of Native American decent.. This is a bit confusing for some people that try to guess, my ethnicity. Some will say I look Native American, and others will say I look Japanese or some other Asian Ethnicity.. My answer is I'm both, Native American and Chinese, plus More !!! 😃
Some humans are uneducated and like to stereotype others. Who care if big or small or almond shaped or hooded or whatever eyes, like beauty and handsome come in different forms and everyone has different taste and stuff anyways. Now with Han Chinese, it is mixed bunch of looks of whatever. Most Han Chinese has almond shaped eyes that can be hooded eyes with inner lids or small double eyelids (not super big doubles like them Indian or Some Europeans or Middle Eastern and not really monolid like Siberian and typical Mongolian). I said most and not all, there are some that fall into the other side of course. The Han Chinese that have more almond bigger eyes with double lids and most likely are people from south east or south west areas in China or even north western plains Han chinese. Whereas some of the monolids Han Chinese typically come from Northern and North Eastern China typically, some here also can have almond size eyes too that are the ideal look. Han Chinese are different depending on the areas they are from, including Central Plain and North Western Han (中原地带central plains Gansu, Shannxi, Shanxi etc will have sharper features can be big almond eyes or monolids, and most people there are taller too), Jiangnan 江南地带水乡（east central water towns rice and tea folks, not as southern as others and are typpically know for Jiangnan beauties and most have almond shape eyes and standard Chinese beauty/hansome if people go to Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi), Shangdong Han, Dongyi东夷/Xianbei/Jurchen鲜卑 (North East Dongbei Three provinces and more northern folks and also Shangdong folks are the representation for being the tallest in China and has the most Chinese Fashion Models according to Stat), Mongolian Steppes 蒙古平原 (the grass plains and desert people who are typically more robust looking and bigger cheekbones and stuff), Bashu 巴蜀文化(southwestern mountains regions where mystical Shangri-la are located the people face are more sharper looking as well and can be super pale or tan which is the interesting factor), Tibetian藏族 (the tibetian high land people who are also in the south western part of china), Hui回回/Muslim/Central Asia folks on the silk road line (of course they will lean towards less monolids and more double lids or bigger eyes, but depends on person and some can look more mixed and other more East Asian leaning and as well like how Uyghur in Turpan areas can look more Han than not), and South Eastern people Fujian (mixed of northern and southern and people are are more in common with folks in Taiwan on average) and on average still consider more northern compared to other southern provinces like Canto/Guangdong/Guangxi (these people past history include central plains Han and them minorities like Miao苗疆, Baiyue百越, Nanman南蛮, people here can have sharper features like North Western Chinese or rounded features since similar ancestors as Austronesians in southeast asia and have close relations with). A lot of people in China are now mixed and features are not as easily identified as having one kind of northern look or southern look. Like some Han Chinese from North Western China can look kinda mixed with whatever to the nearby countries in Central Asia and stuff, and some North Eastern Han Chinese can look Korean and Mongolian or Siberaian, and some southern Chinese can look Thai or Filipino or whatever, and only to outsiders/foreigners that will point it out, whereas in China people don't even care that much what kind of Asians you look like and if you speak Chinese and can look like from East Asia, North Asia, Central Asia, and South East Asia, people will think you are Chinese lol. If you ask most Chinese people think central asian look can be distinguished from Chinese, most likely will be like they look North Western Chinese, because there exist a bunch of North Western Han Chinese that might look so called kinda mixed looking and also Minorities in Xinjiang (like Kazazh in Xinjiang, Uyghur in Xinjiang, small population of Russian In Xinjiang, and Kygry in Xinjiang, Tartar in Xinjiang, and others). And also if South East Asian who go to China and most Chinese people will think of them as Chinese as well if they speak Mandarin or whatever, since they can pass as some minorities from Southern provinces like Guangxi and Yunnan and stuff too.
Genetically speaking people from Guangdong and Guangxi have very little relation with the Central Plains, they are mostly of native descent and a lot of them look like Austronesians and SE Asians with larger and deeper eyes.
Yes, Even I've noticed in a lot of Chinese Tik Tok videos that many chinese recently started looking like Super Models with Tall, sharp features and almond eyes which is completely opposite from the 80's, 90's image of chinese where they were stereotyped as short looking people with monolid small eyes.
@@ashaypallav4158 That is because before until the last 10yrs there is no actual Social Media. Some people like to stereotype when they only see the Southern Cantonese old grandparents who are on the shorter side and those are some of the first wave who immigrated to the West. But funny thing is that most Canto are not Monolid and eyes usually are round. Most Han Chinese not even including the minorities in China, have almond eyes that are not monolid/smaller comparatively (smaller eyes with more fat deposit near the eye area are more a Mongolian and Siberian leaning trait) and not bigger eyes as them Southern European or Indian and Black people (yes some Black and Indian and European and other folks can also have smaller and or hooded eyes too). Most Han Chinese have what we called almond eyes (could be hidden inner lids or small double lids eyes) that is not big nor small okay from the Chinese Beauty/Handsome aesthetic sense (maybe for other races they think the eyes are smaller not as ideal maybe). And for sharper features from your perspective are normal Han Chinese features, like just because a person looks good does not mean he or she have to have sharpe features only, looking good is basically fitting the golden scientific ratio and perfect blend of sharp and roundness accordingly (bunch of Black models with round features are golden ratio too, and they are photogenic because of the ratio and not because they have to have sharp features like other races). Han Chinese in China has always been a melting pot of Northern, Central, Southern, Western and Eastern Tribes and has been mixing for generations, so in no way can you say one look is Han Chinese and another is not Han Chinese. Also with better nutritions for people born after 90s/00s in China and especially the younger generations born after 90s/00s are more into Fashion and keeping up with with the trends on the Runways so that might also play into looking like Fashion Models.
I think it's important to emphasize that the poster was not being asked in she was mixed out of malice. It was an innocent question, and I think it should be okay, to be asked if you're mixed if its coming from a good place
Funny how you mention Kazakh girls being hot. I was actually just in the far northern Xinjiang region, where many of them reside.
And yes, I can attest that it is absolutely true!
In a lot of Japanese people these features are more common because remember you guys are mixed with Joman at least 20% of your DNA derives from them and if you happen to be from somewhere closer to the north near Hokkaido or further south near Okinawa, that percentage can go up as far as 40. I’ve met several Japanese people that look like more like indigenous Central Americans or more like central Asians, most Japanese don’t even know that they’re probably mixed because you guys are so well homogenized and assimilated in your society.
That is your taste, don't speak for all of us. If asked most Han Chinese will not think the average Kazakh and Kyrgyz as being hot or hotter (I said on average, there are some good looking Kazakh and Kyrgyz of course), since most of them have bigger cheekbones and rounded square face and looks closer to Mongolian and Siberian, not saying those don't look good (some western people might like those looks due to being more robust looking and stuff), but to the average Chinese they prefer other East Asian looks more that is more available in China. Han Chinese people males or females typically prefer Sichuan/Chongqing Chinese look that looks mixed of Northern and Southern Chinese Phenotype (Actors who are representation of these ideal look are Dylan Wang-actor, Ao Rui Peng-actor, Gong Jun-actor) and Jiangnan looking Chinese (Chen Hong- actress, Leon Lai Yi-actor/people who are not Chinese might think he look slightly Japanese, Hu ge-actor), and of course Fujian/Taiwan has a lot of Northern Southern Chinese look mixed that are ideal to Chinese people like (Wallace huo- actor， Zhang Jingchu-actress), and also North Eastern Chinese have a lot of tall Models (Zhao Lei-model as an example). Those people are on average what Chinese people consider the ideal looks. FYI ideals are different for each regions in China of course and else where in the worlds have other so called ideal look that people find hot and what not.
Can we your evidence?
Hello duh there are bunch of central ethnicity minorities in Xinjiang (Kazakh and Kyrgyz on average looks most Mongolian/Asian leaning with way less looking mixed comparatively to Uyghur on average who looks more mixed, but most Uyghur look Asian who mixed with more middle eastern and Persian took on average less that look mixed with European white if one is observant enough… I am not saying mixed with European will produce better look people than mixed with middle eastern or Persian btw. But lots of Central Asian if asked will tend to like associate with European phenotypes than middle eastern or Persian per se even though most in reality are Muslim and more relative closer to Middle East and Persia that is closer than European who are farther away. Also of course there are more mixed Slavic and Central Asian nowadays that will tend to look more white or European leaning in all Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, but are those the majorities of the population… go there and find out yourself lol or watch some UA-cam videos on those places and you will find out what average looking look like in those countries .
Han Chinese in China have own standard of ideal looks like I mentioned above, and that is Chinese ideal of East Asian look (Japan and Korea have their own ideals too with slight variations and similarities), the mixed look in China is liked by some people and not everyone, because like I said most Chinese don’t care if mixed or not, there is no better or not, due to bunch of differ levels of East Asian ideal looks existing in China in the population already so why is that something you cannot get, not everyone want to look mixed blood with everything. And yeah there exist great looking mixed folks and great looking full race whether it is a so called pure East Asian, pure European or pure Black who can be great looking too as well just different look. Anyways at the end of the day most human from different countries are average looking anyways if looking around lol not better looking or uglier than another in another culture.
I'm half chinese, half cambodian with big eyes and also born in Thailand, and raised in Canada 😂😂. According to🎉 Caucasian asain is asain😂😂😂..
For Westerners, Asians are East Asians with stereotyped appearances of East Asians (slanted eyes, yellow skin, short, etc). People from other countries in their first view are not Asian,after they learn geography, they will admit it 😂
I’m mexican and did ancestry dna and discovered that I have a four Japanese cousin I was surprised
I’m Asian and this one time back when I was in middle school waiting for my parents to pick me up these 2 Mexican kids walked past me and asked if I was Mexican and I was like “No”????? Like I don’t even look Mexican!! 🤣
My entire life I've been mistaken for Korean or Japanese because of my eye shape, face structure and skin tone i guess (?) I both have Filipino parents and grandparents 😅 but then I got the DNA ancestry done and I discovered I have Vietnamese and Chinese down the line and zero Korean. So facial features totally aren't indicative 😅
I'm speaking literally and referring to the whole of Asia when I say this. If you're Asian with no recent European ancestry but have round eyes, then you have round eyes either because of West Eurasian ancestry or more basal East Eurasian ancestry (e.g. Andamanese/AASI, Hoabinhian-related ancestry).
Donnie yen, Bruce Lee , Chow Yun Fat, etc don’t have slanted eyes
Edit: Bruce Lee is actually a little mixed
True,the mother of Bruce Lee is white in appearance
I'm 100% Chinese according to DNA test. Have light colored eyes so people think I'm mixed but here's the thing. Cantonese people almost always get it right. They talk to me in Cantonese straight away as if they just know I look Cantonese. So I do think I look very Asian. It's just people with little Asian exposure who think I am something else.
You look like a Russian or more like a Central Asian, can easily passed as Kazakh or Tajik lol
Yeah. It's somewhat annoying when people say "Really? You don't look Chinese, you look more like (insert: Japanese/Uyghur/mixed race A and B, ect.) because of my round eyes. "Oh, so those double eyelids, and your nose, were result of surgeries? Because Chinese people do not have double eyelids right, so if you really are Chinese, where did you get your surgery done, who made your eyes and your nose?"
Like seriously wth, even Chairman Mao had double eyelid and quite round/large eyes too when he was young,
People don't understand nationality and ethnicity etc. Northeastern indians are not the 'stereotypical' indian skin tone. Chinese people also have lots of movement, genetically, because of the large size of china. Also the northern chinese do have some 'russian'
I’m Chinese and most non-Asians think I’m either mixed or Korean. Also have an aunt with round eyes and double eyelids. (I make that distinction because I’ve got double eyelids but my eyes are still “Asian-looking”)
Korean? Korean have most smallest eyes among East asians
@@vaniaaprillia9495 We’re aware of that but I don’t think non-Asians are aware of it.
Korean? round eyes and double eyelids?🤣
Don't worry about it. At one time in history, we were probably all chinese.
And your mom was probably a concubine..but why you bring up the past when it's irrelevant??
Fung Bros don’t look Mixed at All . Not even close to Korean
I am an Asian guy, and I accepted the fact that most women don't find Asian guys like me attractive. I don't complain, there's nothing I could do anyway. I'll just try to better myself.
Women are attracted to money and privilege. So don’t worry about your race.
Most normal non-racist woman don't care about races okay (like if you are normal, nice, smart, kind East Asian dude you will be picked by normal nice and smart girls who are everywhere), if you are looking for attention in the wrong places (like you are in a very monolith place that prefer one type of look over the other, or you are looking for the vain ones who care if you are super well off first and first most/baddies who only care about tattoo and gold chains then good luck those Bs will only date the bad looking tattoo whatever looking dude lol). Also not sure if you have negative energy in real life maybe that is why most normal woman are not attracted. Would recommend changing up attitude if needed, and having normal attitude that is more optimistic about life than salty is more important than look. If you are looking hoping for more attention from lots of females all over, rather than choosing to dating normally and meet someone with the right matches in terms of personality and outlook , then good luck most normal women these days don't have the energy to provide attention to random dude no matter how good looking they are. Some women are the same and complaining no guys like them, because most of them are looking for attention in the wrong places lol. In major North American cities, I see lots of average Asian dude with partners of same race or different races walking around, and they don't have issue finding someone they like. Like most humans of all races are average looking anyways lol. But yeah of course Western Media do try to push a certain narrative about ideals and stuff, but don't fall for that shit yourself. If you fall for it, you will be stuck in that negative loop.
I’m half Thai and English and whenever I go back to Thailand everyone immediately knows I’m a halfie - a lot of scam attempts 😅
He doesn’t look Korean. lol
Ya, he looks more like the natural Koreans from the north rather than the plastic enhance Koreans from the south.🤣
NO NEED TO BE MIXED BLOOD, JUST INDONESIAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BIG AND BEAUTIFUL EYES
I think the Korean assumption is people trying to give a friendly neutral compliment of sorts. I always had that guess in my later years but whenever people would refer to my race derogatorily growing up they would call me Chinese. It seems harder to recover from calling someone Chinese when they're not versus calling someone Korean when they're not.
Be called Chinese = giga honor. The ones that said it don’t understand the glory
Be called korean = eh why? Because pop music? Just mainstream stuff…
I think most American think Asian means Chinese
I have West Asia and Central Asian ancestry with no European my mother is full Asian i have Mongoloid features very much 55% Central Asian Mongoloid and almond eyes, eyes don't play a role test DNA ancestry can show everything if you have West Asia ancestry and no European with Asian ancestry you will have almond eyes look like Mediterraneans from Levant but with high cheekbones that Asians have i know because i born that way very good genetics and good looking
@mohamedkirgliz261...No such thing as Mongloid another Western made up psuedo intelectual term. Sad how so called non-Europeans use Western made up terms to define themself. A lack of knowledge and understanding of one self leads to ignorance and adaption one another groups understaning of you.
Finally that Google Translation have Cantonese.
I am Filipino but mistaken as half american but my brother has almond eyes and curly hair, and my other brother has big round eyes but all of his kids looks like Japanese
They just haven’t been exposed to Asians. I have double eyelids and high nose bridge and dark thick eyebrows close to my eyes and it’s usually mixed people who ask me if I’m mixed. Asians usually recognize that I’m full Asian.
i'm 100% Chinese but have been questioned for being mixed/HAPA/whatever throughout my life. People need to get that not all East Asians have monolids and flat faces - there's well over 1.5 billion of us out there.
@shamibudu People need to get that not all East Asians have monolids and flat faces ....well the majority do.
Yesss all the time
I'm 100% Chinese and have large eyes. My brother has small eyes. Everyone's different.
That can not be fact
@@user-bm4ic4kx2wwhy not? It is a fact that asian people can have big eyes. I am 100% Chinese too and naturally have big round eyes with deeply set double eyelids. Are you telling me that I'm not real? Lol.
@@RaiunHanano., I was saying about the two brothers
@@RaiunHanadid you do a dna test?
I am Asian 100% and Laotian with round big eyes! Also I do not have small eyes like most Asian. I look more like Mexican or Native American from what my friends tells me. LOL
There actually is Korean (Joseon) ethnic minority group in China.
I’m 100% Hmong but people said I’m mixed even Hmong people can’t tell that Iam Hmong. Some people said I’m Thai, laos, Japanese, Mexican, Indian all kind Asia people I’m happy for myself that iam look mixture every nationality 😮😮
Hollywood actress Emilia Clarke is half Indian; does her natural blonde hair and blue eyes make it impossible for her to be Asian?
Who's Emilia Clark? ( Tell me to Google it)
@@user-er3ri6sc3jshe played Daenerys in Game of Thrones
@jacob - Emilia Clarke's natural hair is dark brown, but yes her eyes are blue.
Btw, Emilia is part Indian but not half Indian. Her maternal grandmother is 1/2 Indian. So assuming that her parents didn't have more Indian ancestry, Emilia is 1/8 Indian.
Many people in north indian living in hills do have green eyes and are even fairer than Emilia Clarke....😂
@@kitty_s23456 There’s also Jacinta Lal, who is half Indian (Indian father / white mother). You can Google her. She’s a natural blonde with green eyes who looks more European than Emilia Clarke, however, she bemoans the fact that Asians don’t take her Asian heritage seriously.
Neither of them look Korean. Their noses are too "southern".
or maybe not under the knife, PS. lol.
Don’t forget many of us are the legacy of the prolific progeny of Ghengis Khan clan across Asia and Europe😅
I'm chinese/portuguese and i dont even know what i look like lmao
1:39 David looks japanese and andrew looks korean. Even though they're both chinese brothers. This was just my opinion physically
I grew up in Orlando FL for 13 years. Let me tell you i have seen penty of diverse range of people.
The 1st thing i ask someone. Is not what is race. But i ask how long you lived in Central Florida.
If answer no there visiting. Then i ask where there from. I love hearing stories people all around the world. For 10 years i have a chart. Of someone who is from other states. And another country. All the 200 countries that i had fill in 10 years talking to people where from 129 countries have already been full.
389 people i talked to.
This is the one largest in my chart in Asia group.
30 korean
48 Chinese
13 Philippines
28 Japanese
20Vietnamese
That is 139 people 😂 almost 1/3 i talked that here on vacation 😂
When AI colored my hair brown/blond and made me lighter,I look teutonic viking LOL, Darker hair and light skin Hispanic, Turkish, Pakistani or dark hair and skin Indian , when I wake up early I look kind of Chinese light with skin and dark hair. When AI made my hair wooly and dark I look sub saharan african. That's why I am Filipino. lol. Sometimes I don't know what to say. I'm not even half of anything else.
LOL. I am Hmong. People always think I’m Chinese. My husband gets mistaken for being Japanese. They can’t seem to figure out my daughter. My youngest brother always gets mistaken as Hispanic. My older brother always gets asked if he’s Hawaiian. I have an Aunt and cousins who have blond hair and blue eyes which is rare.
If they have blonde hair and light eyes it is because you have a European mix, the genes responsible for blonde hair only exist in Europe, Central Asia and perhaps some of the Middle East, light eyes are associated with European peoples, the Indo-Iranians of the Middle East East and South Asia, no genetic studies have found genes for blonde hair or light eyes in East Asia.
Do you know that China has the biggest Hmong population in the world? In fact, Hmong people originated in Southern China
It must be the eyelids' surgery . A lot of asian have it done, and those who have more round eyes , it must be surgeries.
