I've noticed that a lot of the members live in the US and Asia. Some from Australia, Canada, Europe and even Africa. Now I'm curious if there are any from Latin America on this site. Latin America is diverse, maybe not to the extent of the US and Canada, but they have quite the melting pots themselves. I want to hear about what Asians have to say about the countries they live in.

So, if there's anyone living anywhere on this map:



Share your experiences and opinions here.

I heard there's a chinese community in Cuba. And I know they eat curry goat in the Caribbean...

There's a large Filipino community down in Acapulco, but most of them are mixed in with the Mexicans.

asians live everywhere

take brazil for instance since it has the 2nd largest japanese population

i rest my case

actually many koreans and japanese are living in south america

We have a few Chinese in PR and Antigua.

I've seen members from Panamá, Argentina, Puerto Rico and Brasil. None are currently active. The most notable would probably be this Korean guy 'Riverplate4Life'...

Whatever, besides brasil, latinoamérica is no place for asians. Calle 13's song 'Jápón' hit #1 in like 3 countries.

None of you are from Latin America, so GTFO!

typical xenophobic latinamerican attitude.

i wanna move to panamá for a few years

*sigh*

The only one I know here from LA is IkariJun.

Chinese in Trinidad, Jamaica, Surinam, Guyana and in Central America.
Unless they have kept the Chinese surname, many look similar to the indio (indigena) or mestizo populations!

There is a huge Japanese-Brazilian population in Brazil, and a lot of them are 3rd and 4th generation Japanese. I met a few of them in my graduate program.

I also know some Japanese and Korean people living in Peru. In fact Peru had a Japanese president several years ago. Then he fled, or something bad happened, and they tried to extradite him back to Peru.

I also know some Chinese and Koreans who are from Venezuela.

Oh damn! I'd love to see a Japanese/Brazilian girl wit a phatty.

Looks like we've got at least two guests or members from Buenos Aires, San Paulo or maybe Rio? South America anyway.

dun forget the other asian. Indians from India,but they mostly in the islands.

I know 750 Sakha in Alaska and around 200 in Panama they are both descendands of political/wartime immigrants. + Some native Turkic peoples of Alaska.

Hakka forum has some members from throughout Latin America like Brazil and Mexico, where Chincese were brought there and some Filipinos.

I heard Peru has a million Asians, they even had a Japanese president named Alberto Fujimori

Latin America generically refers to the area from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego!
Yes Mexico is in North America!

I heard Mexico City has a lot of Chinese

Chinese in Argentina

Locals watch the dragon dance during a temple fair held in the China Street in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, Jan. 25, 2009. A Chinese temple fair was held in the China Street on Sunday to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Suriname is about 44% Asian: 27% from the Indian Subcontinent, 15% Javanese (Indonesia), and 1.8% Chinese. This is not counting Southwest Asians.

Guyana is 43.5% Indian from India.

French Guiana is 3.2% Chinese and 1.5% Hmong.

There are about 200,000 Filipinos in Mexico especially around Michoacán, Guerrero, and Colima, and they account for 0.2% of the population.

Lots of Indians live in Trinidad as well....

I'm from Okinawan descent. My grandfather went to Brazil at 1920 when my father was only 2 years old and all family
reunited in Brazil at 1930. Since then we stayed in Brazil. I have 3 daughters and and a son. My granddaughter is 6 month old. The main asian immigrants in Brazil are from japanese descent or related(more than 1.5 million people). From wikipedia the other 2 immigrant groups of east-asian descent are Koreans(estimated 250000 people) and Chinese(estimated 200000 people). I don't know if wikipedia information about Koreans being more numerous than chinese in Brasil is reliable. In my daily life's experience I find more people of chinese ethnicity.

I'm from Brazil,but I'm not asian =/
