East Asians rank the Nations you feel most closely related to

[Dylan]

Pilipino reporting...

1) Japan
2) Indonesia/Korea/China - tie
3) Mongolia/Vietnam - tie

Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, - not much of a connection for me, but I do love Malaysian and Thai cuisine

I do feel a connection with Polynesian countries and cultures as well. And I think Turkish and Uyghurs are very cool looking so there's that too.

something tells me your grandparents/parents would disagree with this! unless you really are 77, in which case i have no idea how you feel closest to japan as a filipino (WWII)

I guess East Asians tend to look down on dark skinned people. Your family is not especially dark skinned though.

I personally do not have a problem with dark skinned people, but that's me as an individual.

I don't think you would do well with East Asian women as you do not have a high paying job and you are overweight. I already told you to work on those things.

if my family is not dark skinned what constitutes as dark skinned for you (negroes?)

Blacks, South Asians, some SE Asians. Your skin tone is light, and your family is about medium.

Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian cuisine are amazing.

I tried it for the first time at this one great restaurant where these cuisines are their specialty (Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai, etc), and the food on their menu was absolutely delicious, much better than Filipino food. I think I might have liked it even more than Japanese cuisine.

Yes I have. They are light skinned in South Asia. I have been around many South Asians from Indians to Pakistanis, they maybe medium for Pakistanis, and perhaps some Nord Indids, but overall they are light skinned compared to the median in South Asia.

That's absurd. Your family are not Africans in any way.

Han Chinese

Nations I feel closest to as a Han Chinese:

1. Korea
2. Mongolia
3. Japan
4. Vietnam

I like Turkish culture, but I consider Turkey a Middle Eastern/Southern European country. I never realized how many Turks were actually obsessed with being seen as Mongoloid Steppe peoples until I came on this forum, even though I knew about their roots and the different Turkic groups. But they've been Islamicized for so long, and culturally and genetically are close to their neighbors.

We're distant relatives, you drove us away

Though we still have bonds with East Asia
