How come Mongoloids culturally appropriated the word 'Asia'?

Interesting, do you know if that's from admixture during ancient or medieval times? Or does is it due to them having a much older ancestral connection?

there were arabs & Indians in Philippines before Europeans came for almost 2000 years I think...

the earliest records I believe is 9 century and even earlier.

Ancient history[edit]
See also: Hinduism in the Philippines, Religion in pre-colonial Philippines, Indosphere, Indianisation, and List of India-related topics in the Philippines
India had greatly influenced the many different cultures of the Philippines through the Indianized kingdom of the Hindu Majapahit, Khmer Empire and the Buddhist Srivijaya. For at least two millennia before the arrival of Spanish, Philippines was ruled by Hindu kings called Rajahs and Pramukhas. Numerous kings with written genealogies and Sanskrit names were found by Spanish warlords and friars.[4] Indian presence in the Philippines has been ongoing since ancient times along with the Japanese people, and the Han Chinese, and Arab and Persian traders, predating even the coming of the Europeans by at least two millennium. Indian people together with the natives of the Indonesian Archipelago and the Malay Peninsula, who came as traders introduced Hinduism to the natives of the Philippines. Indian migrants have been crucial in the establishment of several Indianized Kingdoms or "Rajahnates" in the Philippines, Rajahates such as that of Butuan and Cebu. Indian Bania converts to Islam brought Sunni Islam to the Philippine islands in the course of trade, which was later enhanced and strengthened by Arab Muslim Sea traders to Mindanao and Sulu Sultanate.[5]
By the 17th century, Gujarati merchants with the aid of Khoja and Bohri ship-owners had developed an international transoceanic empire which had a network of agents stationed at the great port cities across the Indian Ocean. These networks extended to the Philippines in the east, East Africa in the west, and via maritime and the inland caravan route to Russia in the north.[6]

i'm going to make a separate thread between Philippines and indian ancient connections.

I think you could fit in the north east and as a mongoloid shifted bengali perhaps. not sure about the percentage but it's quite negligible.

I have seen some a-typical Nepalese actors that bare a somewhat similar ethnic resemblance, but I think I would still be very a-typical for Nepal/East India. I have 2 full Indian cousins and one looks very South east Asian in my opinion, both her parents are Malayali
Bad quality photo but this is her.

Interesting, I knew Indians had some presence in Indonesia and Malayasia but not the Philippines.

Ok you probably know better cause I've never been to northern india or northeast in my life. Never had the chance to go north of maharashtra but hopefully I will sometime soon when I visit the motherland.

She could easily pass in most southeast asian countries. whats with the mongoloid pheno on your mom's side lol? Its very interesting. I think they definitely mixed with local chinese or malays during their stay in singapore/malaysia. The east asian in your mom's and your results might indeed be due to some mix.

I am not sure, but I have seen even some Tamils and Malayalis in India who randomly look Mongoloid, it is a-typical but it seems to happen. I don't think the Mongoloid influence in my mum's family is actually from mixing with Malays or Chinese, the 23andme test that I did would've picked up on it, rather than classifying it as Broadly East Asian don't you think?

My parents did the ancestry dna test so I am not even sure if they break down East Asian from Native American.

yeah but 6.5% in you is quite high and that means your mom would get roughly 13% or 1/8 east asian on 23andme. Even bengalis dont get that much on 23andme so thats what i mean. I'll pm you regarding gedmatch cause I'm really curious about your results and your mom's results.
