Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Tongans, Samoans and other Polynesians arent classified as Asians, they're classified as Pacific Islanders. Sometrimes Asians and Pac. Islanders are put in one big category called Asian Pacific. It's pretty stupid. It would be like putting East Idians and whites together based on certain racial similarities.
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
PACIFIC ISLANDERS ARE CONSIDERD ASIAN!! MA FREAKERS!! WUT U ASHAMED OF BEING ASIAN!! THEN DO SUMTHING ABOUT IT!!

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Yall act like it aint no Samoans with chinky eyes and stuff. Hell some Black folks got chinky eyes. I would say the Samoans resemble Asians more than Black people for damn sure. And whats up with all these Filipinos ashamed of representing Asian?

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Who are you referring to, as you say all filipinos? Pinoys got a lot of mixed blood, a lot of chinese, a lot of spanish, whatever, depending on where you come from...North or South of the Islands? You wanna get racial, speak on it...filipinos from WWII don't like Japs so I understand why they wouldn't want to be considered asian by anyone from the States. Filipinos from Hawaii try to claim hawaiian, but they got their own problems. The identity of a filipino-american is lost when here in the states. But there are a few pinoy prider's out there who know what time it is. The basic filipino is of Malaysian descent. Throughout history and colonization, the bloodline has become mixed.
It's up to the individual to go through life and determine what he/she is. If you got beef with what a Samoan considers himself to be, take it up with him personally and you'll come to an answer...LOL. Ain't no professors here, you be what you wanna be here...LOL.
And be specific, which filipinos don't represent asian? Here in the states or on the islands?

yeah but arabs and indians don't look like em either, but they're technically asians too.[/high]
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
mexicans don't look chinese or japanese either, but they are decendants of chinese people. The environment and mixing does a lot to change the way a people look, it doesn't erase where they originated.
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
panik, panik, panik, where do you get your info? WE ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF CHINESE!!!NO DISRESPECT TO MY "ASIAN" BROTHERS OUT THERE BUT WHERE DID YOU GET THAT..HOMIE I WILL ADMIT THAT I DO NOT KNOW "MEXICAN HISTORY" THAT WELL BUT I HAVE A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RAZA AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS. WHICH BOOK OR CLIPPING OR WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? I AM NOT TRYING TO START AN ARGUMENT, I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM. SEND ME SOME "CONCRETE" INFO
P.S I ASKED MY HISTORY TEACHER WHO IS VERY WELL EDUCATED(B.A/M.A/PH.D) AND SHE SAID THIS IS THE FIRST SHE'S HEARD OF THIS TOO...

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
native americans are descendants of people from the Asian continent...practically everyone in North America is...
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
All "native" americans came from China and Mongolia between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago. This is a long known fact Samdoobie.
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Hater,
He's just stating his choice and preference to not be considered clumped under the Asian category, which is fine. He's not saying anything about being proud or not proud of being Asian, he is a pacific islander/polynesian. Let me ask you this, what is Asian to you? To me, it's Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Southeast Asians are Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotion, Mein, Thai, Indonesian, etc. Filipinos are filipinos. But when you fill out surveys or other government papers, what do you fill out? It's a big difference when a person classifies themselves, versus what some jackass behind a desk figures you out to be and fills in your bubble for you. Especially with surveys or research info or census, a lot of the tallying is used for racial purposes. A lot of it is used to figure out formulas for welfare and other social services. If pacific islanders don't have numbers in a certain area, then no dept of pacific islanders mental health budget will be available to them in their area. Asian is just a big category and serves the chinese, japanese, and koreans very well. But to the others that are "asian" that come here, there is no representation within the "Asian" label for them. Hence, they stay within their communities versus getting local help.

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Originally, asian meant from the asian continent. chinese, japanese, southeast asian were called orientals by westerners. This was offensive so the "asians" took to calling themselves asians instead of oriental. But asian really originally meant anyone from that area, including india, middle east, and all the surrounding islands.

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Yeah, that's what trips me out. First it was Orientals for all the slant-eyed people, now Asians because some high class ornamentals don't want to be called ohleeyentals. But there has to be distinctions more so, everybody is different and care for only themselves...on the outside. On the inside, we all "asians" or "others"...LOL. And I don't understand how they consider indians as eastern asians...LOL. Man, how the white man tries to categorize you into his system...LOL.

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
Good point Dusty,
The "Asian/Asian-Pacific" category is just made by the government. It's to broad, emcompasing four distinct races - orientals/east Asians, Malay, Idians/Pakastanis and Pacific Islanders.
Then whites get offended if you tell them they're related to Arabs (which they are).

Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
I don't know about being offended. Actually, Indians (from India) are related, because the Aryans conquered them a long time ago and got into their gene pool. Realistically, there are onnly 2 recognized RACES of human beings. They are Negriod (black) Mongoloid (oriental) and Caucazoid (white) every other "race" like arab, hispanic, pacific islander, etc are just a combination of 2 or more of these 3. I think arabs are actually part of all 3. mexicans would be part caucazoid and part mongoloid. So I don't know about being "related" to arabs, any more than a mexican would be "related" to whites. Other than blacks, whites, and "orientals", everything elsee is just a mix. And even these "original" races are bound to have some other dna in them even if hardly traceable, because at one time or another, almost every culture has been conquered raped and pillaged by another race.
Re: Paicific Islander Gangs in Asian Forum..
sorry, I meant 3 races at the beginning of my post, not 2.
