Adna was taken from the negritos it said they originated from east africa thousand years ago .My dad is filipino mixed with everything and he is part negrito and priud of it.I am ashame of being half filipina i had been called a filipina whore at a restaurat because i had a white military boyfriend at that time my white ex was very angry and wanted to defend me and i told him to leave it alone .I am multiracial i am also part african , my grandpa is a white european from my mom side , i also part chinese , part latian , north african , ect.
Me and you share a lot of the same philosophies and facts on race Im proud to meet someone who knows what they are talking about- Ive been studying about the negritos for a little while now- I learned that there DNA was connected to Asians (well they are the original asians)- but I recently found out that they were actually the first people to start sailing and they went to the pacific islands coming from east africa- they are a wonderful group of people.
Fijians said their ancestors were from east africa
Their are so many irish italains im just saying!!
i wonder why the majority of Filipino women are not proud & dn’t embrace there country and culture like other women do .. i mean where i stay i find a lot of Filipino women dating other races .. and they never seem to b dating frm there men … it’s jst sad to see tht there not as proud and it doesn’t seem to be bothering them .. i mean i won’t be suprised a few years from now tht they’ll be no ”pure filipino”..
well actually right now what is a pure filipino? There was already a lot of mixing going on in the philipines- first there were the melanisians and polynesians that inhabited the island then came the spanish conquerers, there are also a lot chinese, then there are the indentured servants such as native americans, mexicans (mestizos), blacks and so much more it is a beautiful big melting pot over there!
to everyone who’s talking about polynesians and asians or whatever
polynesians originated from native taiwan and i would know that because im tongan and native hawaiian and when i got my dna test
and it came out 100% asian so look it up
