Are Filipinos related to Native Americans? Options

[DARTHSITH]

I'm a half breed Filipino. People on my mom's side aren't completely pure. The skin tone on my mom's side varies from brown or yellow colored, but we all have the same Mexican like facial features because of basque blood. My father is White.
I don't look much different from your modern day Latino. I look 100% Latino. If you think of it, I basically am a Latino because of the mixed of Spanish blood and colored people blood. Filipinos are basically a type of Native American like the Aztecs, Toltecs, Apache, Navaho. At some point thousands of years ago people who were from what is now the Philippines probably inhabited the Americas. I don't believe that the Filipinos and Northern Asians are related through blood. If you look at the cultures of Filipinos to Chinese, Japanese, Koreans you'll see that we're racially separate. Calling Filipinos and Northern Asians the same race is like saying an Arabic person is the same as a European. The Filipinos and Chinese might share common blood types, slanted eyes, and similar alphabet, but they're not the same thing. There are major difference between Filipinos and Chinese. If I were to classify Filipinos, I'd say they're more related to Native Americans than to Northern Asians.
The Indonesians and Malaysians are also brothers to some degree just not the Chinese that live in those domains. I do not count the Thais as related.

native americans like the inuits dont look filipino at all

Some Mongolian or Japanese like people probably inhabited the Northern parts of America. People from what is now the Philippines inhabited the other regions of America like what is now Mexico, the Amazon, Peru, and South America. Also some went to what is now the USA. These are Native Americans. They are descended from Filipinos

Filipino are related to Thai people.

mongoloids on similar latitude/climate tend to look somewhat similar?

Filipinos are related to Kokey.

[hugo boss]

Filipino is NOT related to native american, probably closer to negrito or guam & other indigenous peoples

the negritos were there before the filipinos so your more related to those types and maybe some pacific islander or taiwanese aboriginals

primarily from Malay stock

the Alaskan natives / inuit / Siberian are the last to cross over the land bridge out of asia so I would consider those people closer to the native americans

Pinoys are related to Pinays period.

[Kathtorres19]

Let's say Filipinos have different blood race as stated in the history of Philippines. The first ancestor of Filipino is Negritos, then Indones, and the third one which is dominant race of Filipino right now is Malay. In Philippines, there are many tribes where Filipinos are belong. Don't compare Filipinos to other races because Filipinos have own culture, norms and traditions that you cannot see to other races.

Filipinos came from Sundaland, back then they called it lemuria.. The other races got jealous because our civilization was the $hit. the chinese, indians, and arabs from the north conspired against us then nuked the continent til it sunk. in 2012 during the next ice age, giant pyramids and ancient cities will be revealed underwater in indonesia

Filipinos come from a mixture of 2/3 Mongoloid and 1/3 Australoid ancestry, so the resulting mixture gives many Filipinos a seemingly Caucasian facial feature.

There are A LOT OF Filipinos who do look Latino here in the Philippines, NOT only in the cities but also in the deep provinces. The admixture thingy explains it.

Btw, Arabs and Northern Europeans are INDEED considered to be of ONE RACE.

Native Americans are MUCH, MUCH closer to Northern Asians THAN THEY ARE to Southeast Asians like Pilipinos.

I don't know about "relation" but I have to admit I really can't tell many, if not most sometimes, Southeast Asians and Central Americans apart just on a looks basis. Nothing wrong with that though. I don't think my ethnicity affects that perception that much but I'm chinese singaporean but 1/4 white from my mom being half white and her mom (my grandma) being german. I had some southeast asian friend (like malay, filipino, khmer, indonesian, etc) say that in US many time white people confuse them to be mexican ancestry instead of southeast asian. And I heard before of mexican of the ones who are/look very indigenous ancestry (native american?) who travel to southeast asia before and talk about locals often confusing them as a fellow local. So I don't know if deep down there is an actual relation but at least on superficial level many, many southeast asians and central americans look alike which is what the thread starter was intending to say I think.

If we're just going by generalities, I think in southeast asia generally the most "stereotypically asian" (at least in the eyes of most non-asians) looking groups are mainly obviously the ethnic chinese (which is including most of singapore) and then secondly vietnamese. Third is either northern thai or northern laotion. I know people here disagree with ocrapdm on many things but in this case he is right that yes it is true that generally SEA is known as a crossroads of different cultures, religions, languages, ancestries, etc which is why if you ask 95% of white americans what they think of when they think of the word "asian" they mostly think of china/chinese and surrounding countries like korea and japan rather than southeast asia.

That being said ironic for me to say this in this post but it kinda sucks that so much of this board is dedicated just to talking about genes, light skinned, racial comparisons, etc lol. The social constuct of race is completely affected by cultural and economic perceptions anyway. If we really want to get down to it and have real discussion, talk about the differences in cultures (religions, languages, foods, etc) and economics (like wealthy, poor, etc) between ethnicities that almost completely are the root of and shape our modern perception of "race" rather than just the physical features and phenotypes. For example, everything else being equal I could probably way easier get to know and maybe even befriend a filipino descended person who is singaporean citizen and speaks chinese than a chinese descended person who is filipino citizen and speaks tagalog/llocano.

you cant really judge a persons ethnicty by looks, just because they kind of look similiar doesnt mean they are related

Ive seen Mexicans that can pass as middle eastern, Iraqi, Pakistani, etc, but they are not related at all

and some Indians / Pakis / Middle eastern can pass as Mexicans and they are not related

[austronesian0sai...]

I lived in an area with lots of south east asian and many latinos. Everyone could tell the difference.

Lately though, More immigrants from the pure Indian stock have been coming to America, they look somewhat more similar. that's when things get a little more difficult.






I've noticed that Native Americans have more Northern Asian type features. They seem to always have sinodont teeth, and a square broad head like Northern Han chinese. From my understanding they were tall robust people like Northern Asians and became shorter over time. They also have the Long and skinny noses like Northerners rather than the low stubby nose of Southern chinese and South East Asians.

[chiuchimu]

Filipinos and Native Americans are all Mongoloids but that's about it. I say we are all brothers.

[hugo boss]

I also noticed most native americans dont have thick lips like SEA / filipinos have
