i was watching a news report on the present stituation of Afghanistan and they were showing the local people, and many of their facial features looked very asiatic (mongoliod) with the eyes and fraile look although they were dressed as you would in the arab world.

So are Afghanis mixed half arab & half mongoliod?

they didn't look Southeast Asian to me. They had a more tibetian look in my opinon.

i've heard of the ancient buddhist pressence in afghanistan so that also maded me think twice.

but i know buddhism isn't only exclusive to mongoliods. and that buddhism originated in nepal/india and buddha was an indian.

The Afghan people isn't just a single homogeneous ethnicity...

There are at least four or five major ethnic groups in Afghanistan.

Of course they wouldn't look SE Asian, you idiot, they are in Central Asia.

There are many ethnic groups in Afghanistan. One of them, a minority, the Hazaras, are mainly of Mongol physiology.

However, all this is unimportant in the Moslem world, where ethnic and physical differences are less important than your faith.

Yes, Muslims don't discriminate based on race or ethnicity, they discriminate based on whether you're Muslim or not They are even worse than Christians

I wouldn't say they are worse than Christians. In the Christian world, you are discriminated against intensely based on your ethnicity and faith. So actually, it is worse. However, due to the rise of secularism, the strangelhold of the christian church has lost its grip. But due to the traditional character of many moslem societies, religion still plays a strong part in people's lives.

But I do have to note, that historically speaking, Islam is far more tolerant the Christianity. But that's not really a tough track record to beat, when you consider that the Christian world is guilty of world genocides and forefully indoctrinating the natives into their belief system, from latin america to the naked savage ancestors of dalawapo here. If you research history more deeply, you will find that the image of Islam as inherently intolerant is very incorrect. Actually, Christianity is far more intolerant. Radical, intolerant, fundamentalist Islam is only a recent phenomenon and has only been around for a few decades. It is also widely a reaction to Western imperialism, not that I am justifying it's intolerant nature.

Also, Moslems rarely proselytize or actively go out to prove that their religion is superior to yours. Due to the nature of my activities, I am consistently around many Moslems and have been in Moslem lands and have never had anyone try to force their religion unto me, or shake their Koran in my face. However, I've had Christians openly give me contempt because of my religious background (Buddhism), shake their bibles in my face, tell me I'm going to hell, and my psychotic Christian aunt even destroyed a statue of the buddha in my house. That is a common trait of Christian groups.

I agree that historically, Christianity may have been much more discriminating and much less tolerant than Islam. However, I was merely talking about today.

However, today's reality does not reflect the religions themselves. The Christian world is tolerant today because of the rise of secularism, civil society, economic wealth and scientific progress. All of this was achieved DESPITE Christianity not because of Christianity.

Of course it does. Why does only the past matter and not the present? An ideal or religion is only as good as how the people practice it.

i think your the idiot if you think an ethnic look is confined to any one region.

because anyone knows that people migrate with little regard to region.

why are there mongoliod (MALAY) faces on madagascar island which is in the african region some 6,000 nautical miles away from the Malay homeland of island Southeast Asia?

obviously the Malay migrated there in ancient times. And they settled that island before the black.

i was simply stating that i didn't think those mongliod strains in the afghani people did came from the southeast asian mongoliods based on my conjecture of their physical appearance.

so hence, they may be your kind. the chinesys slit eyes and the small everything. except they got a heathy beautiful tan like the tibetian and your kind is basically pastey white.

First of all, I have a tan like half of the Chinese population. Obviously you know nothing about China or Chinese.

Also, your picture of the banawe ricefields only exemplifies the the low level of culture of your ancestors. The technology to create ricefields in the philippines probably came from Chinese sailors as well. But either way, the Philippines were mainly a collective of naked savages before the Spanish came and bastardized your population and made you worship their god (to which you guys are oh so proud of today- trinkling of spanish blood and christianity). Filipino culture is so ignorant, shallow and flimsy, it's no wonder that it is one of the few countries in Asia that never makes any progress.



KULONG- anyways, my main problem with your assertions is that you define Islam without taking into account Western imperialism. For example, do you think the Iranian Islamic Revolution would have occurred if the US DID NOT overthrow the liberal democratically elected government of Mohammed Mosadegh who nationalized the oil industry and thus incurred the wrath of the US? Would Hamas ever have been founded if Israel never existed or had actually established a just peace with the palestinians, it was founded in 1987.

All of this does not happen in a vacuum.

dalawapo,

Also I notice that most of your attacks on Chinese have concentrated around looks. This is quite typical of a Filipino racist. This is because Filipino culture is very shallow and has no great intellectual or literary tradition. What is your greatest piece of work? Rizal's Noli me tangere? A disconnected rambling work of fiction? I won't even compare Filipino un-culture to Chinese civilization. There is no comparison and everyone knows it.

Filipino culture is very shallow, and very few Filipinos have a deep understanding of society, history or culture. That's why racists such as Dalawapo can only make attacks based on looks.

This is also why there is such anti-Chinese sentiment in the Philippines. It is because of the great jealousy of the superiority of Chinese cultural values and civilization.

Afghan folks might have some Caucasian blood ......... I mean, look at this girl:

Might have some Caucasian blood? I would say most of them have a lot of Caucasian blood.

what are Mongoliods?

Rice terraces of the Cordillera, philippines is 2,000 - 3,000 + years old.

AND IS RECOGNIZED AS PART OF THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. ALONG WITH THESE PEOPLE'S ORAL EPIC CHANTS "HUDHUD." THE ONLY ASIAN WORK TO BE INCLUDED IN INTANGIBLE HERITAGE CATEGORY.

the oldest site of rice cultivation is SOUTHEAST ASIA, present day thailand, ban chiang. NOT CHINA!!!!!! we did not learn how to terrace rice from China.

the Filipinos are part of the greater MALAY ETHNICITY. And the Malay's Native culture and language is AUSTRONESIAN.

AUSTRONESIAN CULTURE IS COMPAREABLE TO ANY ANCIENT CULTURE AS THE AUSTRONESIAN MALAY VOYAGED AND SETTLED A GREAT TERRITORIAL EXPANSE 2/3 OF THE WORLD. AND OUR CULTURE IS ALSO GREATLY ADMIRED AS BEING MATRILINEAL (LOVING WOMEN, TREATING WOMEN AS EQUAL/SUPERIOR) AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS WHICH YOUR CHINESE CULTURE SEEMS TO LACK.



the malay's Austronesian language and culture DOMINATES AND INFLUENCES all the regions shaded above bescuase our malay ancestors aboriginally SEA-FARED to these islands.



im proud of the malay ethnicity and our sense of brotherhood and our concept of community, family, and extended family.

i dont give 2 sh!!tz about chinese. i don't respect you and i don't admire you because you are ETHNOCENTRIC AND LACK RESPECT.

that is why you are quick to talk with your head up your arzz all because i openly express how I find chinese generally unattractive.

YOU STOOP SO LOW TO ATTACK MY CULTURE. THAT SHOWS HOW LESS HUMAN YOU ARE. PROFIT PENNY PUSHER.

you will NEVER gain our respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you chinese who look down on non-chinese and then expect us to respect your people's achivements? haha

you will have to buy your friends. because We will not be your friends.

Just like the delusional, irrational idiot that you are, you seem to forget that you've started this round of ethnic tension with your consistent, assinine bashing and racist portrayal of Chinese on this forum. If you haven't elicited any comments, why would I give a dime's worth of thought to you or your primitive culture?

Malays have barely achieved anything. The only significant signs of civilization in Indonesia and Malaysia are largely due to Islamic and Hindu influences. But either way, the Philippines have barely achieved anything at all. Why is it that so many Filipinos love to make fun of Chinese when their country is completely worthless? The biggest joke is your own country and your own people, you are the laughingstock not the great Chinese civilization. When you are walking the garbage choked streets of Manila, with naked children running all around you, playing by the open sewers, you can actually take time out to think of anti-Chinese jokes?

If Chinese are such degenerate penny crooks, why is it that it is your country that can barely rise from the corrupt degeneracy that it finds itself in today? Your crab mentality is quite typical of Filipino culture. You mock and laugh others. However, you don't stop to think why their culture is superior to yours, and what you can learn from them. Instead all you can do is say stupid slanty chineses with their ching chong language, hahaha. Dumb, shallow idiot.

Afghans are primarily of Caucasian blood. Only a few ethnic groups are primarily Mongoloid by appearance. However, 80% or higher of Afghans are clearly Caucasian.

your dumb. your just angry that i cant get my penis up at the sight of a chinese because the majority i see are scrawny pale faced and squinty eyed....

i can't help it that i am not sexually stimulated at the sight of such creatures....

that is all i said. MY d!ck is not down with chinese.

just because i am not PERSONALLY attracted to chinese, that makes me ANTI-CHINESE?

again..... i don't like to eat with chop sticks...... i suppose that makes me anti- chinese as well!!!!!! mbwahhahahah...

you are on a one-dimensional thought process.



i saw this lady all grown up just recently on the news and to me she's ugly.... i guess that makes me anti-afghanstani now too??????

Typical ignorant $hit. I bet you're the type that copies ebonics, sags their pants, talks about Filipino pride and don't even know how to speak Tagalog too huh?

I really don't give a $hit if you don't find Chinese attractive? Why would I even want your degeneracy in our gene pool? I am here to defend ourselves against your slander.

It is quite sad, because many Filipinos only grew up in such a provincial and shallow culture, they don't even realize how provincial and shallow their surroundings are. You will never know how it feels to be part of a great intellectual and literary tradition, face it.

hey fu-k650, calm down.

i bet you and half the chinese population are looked down upon for that tan by the ELITE PALE FACE CHINESE too huh? everyone knows to the majority of chinese white is always right.

Chinese do not discriminate against their own compatriots because of the skin color. non-sense

ridiculous, chinese come in all types of skin types. this only goes to show your ignorance even more.

- TAKEN FROM "caoeric" from Asianavenue.com

that is ridiculous. I am quite dark and I have never been discriminated by any other Chinese.

And more than half ot he pop. in China is tan skinned as well.

it is prob. some ignorant Chinese American who is writing that. From Asian Ave. as well, quite typical.

anyways the mongoliod strain in the afghani bloodlines seem to come from tibetian like people rather than east or southeast asians in my opinon.

well, whatever. the truth is that China has people of all Mongoloid strains, from your "east asian" type to the Mongol type to the Malay type. You are just ignorant.

eating with hands is simply more civilized than using chopsticks! read my handle, fkidiot!


Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are hot tho!

How do you determine that is more civilized?

What about your handle? It is immature and childish.

I mean, using hands in eating is primitive.

it doesn't parallel what you wrote here :

it was a typo. I'm 3/4 spanish and i don't consider myself a filipino. it was my ancestors who civilized the natives.

So you are claiming that Filipinos were uncivilized people prior to the invasion and conquering of the Philippines by the Spanish?

yes

true dat

Huh... this is his/her opinion. What are you talking about? Or did you quote the wrong person?

And puntangina... you got any evidence to support what you say? I mean let's hear about it.

-Norm

Dalawapo, Can you provide link to the articles? Anyone can create such topic in any forum, or any web site. No prove = Junk $hit

Cevilgenius, I have edited my post.

hahaha! very funny Igorot already have civilization

HAHAHAA! DO THESE PEOPLE LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE CAPABLE OF HAVING THEIR OWN CIVILIZATION? YOU ARE ONE DELUSIONAL FLIP! HAHAHAAHAHA!

But our ancestors created the Yangtze River Valley civilization and ifugaos have rice teraces

JUST AS ABSURD AS WHAT STUPID AFROCENTRISTS CLAIM.

Stupid ! our ancestors already created civilization you are a eurocentrist

yep, an inferior civilization.

Mongoloids are superior

hey, cut the cr@p you guys!!! we have our own ways, our own cultures.... respect the diversity! being "superior" is relative.... not concrete!

note: Before Spain, before Greece, there was China!

opinion: although I love what the Spanish gave to Philippine culture... I would also have loved to see a modern Philippine nation, using its own alphabet, in its own government, and its native religion.... :p

NOT all Afghans are "mongoloids"... most of them aren't. Most of them are of Indo-European descent.


:peace:

what another sad culture bashing thread in AF... funny thing is, almost all of you extremist are living in the West or outside your homeland/culture you tend to highly state as superior...


sad little socially inept whiners...

To those who want to know about Afghan features, this is how majority of these ethnics (kids) look like;



Tajiks




Uzbek's




Pashtuns




Hazara's





We got many more ethnics but these are the four major ones.

^ Good post Madina, I hope people will learn from it.

Afghans are iranians + turks

^ Pashtuns even got Indian, Greek, Arabic and Jewish mixture. Not all of them, but majority is believed to have so.
