A North-South Chinese Mix Cline in SE Asia?
2008-07-11 16:24:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here. Updated July 12. I am republishing this post published earlier this month because I added some photos.A question from the comments about the Are SE Asians Australoids? article:Aren't Khmer a little more Australoid than people in Vietnam (at least Northern Vietnamese), most Thai, and Laotians? There seems to be a clear cline in Southeast Asia, the areas bordering China seem to have more NE Mongoloid Admixture than those of the Malay archipelago and the Khmer. I'm basing this on appearance and not genes, which you pointed out, rightly so, as being misleading.This question keeps popping up because so many folks are convinced, based primarily on appearance, that many SE Asians are part-Australoid.First of all, the Vietnamese, Filipinos, Thai and Khmer are all quite close to the Southern Chinese genetically. Of these, believe it or not, the Fili...

On Immigration
2008-06-14 05:19:00 Updated June 18:We have quite a few folks coming to this blog who are opposed to immigration. To be honest, almost everyone in the US who is opposed to immigration is White, and to some extent, it's associated with White nationalism.There are also anti-immigrant sites out there like Vdare, but they are almost always on the crazy end of the spectrum. Vdare is not White nationalist, but they do want to end all immigration altogether. On the far moderate end of White nationalism, we have American Renaissance. I do like to hang out there because it's nice to hear real, honest talk on race for once.In general, the White nationalists on Amren want to end non-White immigration altogether.I'd like to point out that this is a crazy and extremist point of view. Furthermore, Whites are only 65% of the US in 2006 according to this chart, and possibly less. 2% of the US is Muslim, and the overwhelming majority are not Europeans. Another .5% of the population are Indian-Americans. 1% of the po...

Don’t mess with filipinos!
2008-05-30 00:13:00 ** this was forwarded to me from someone from work. i don’t know if there’s any truth in it though. In a New York sidewalk, a Filipino is enjoying a hearty breakfast coffee, croissants, toast, butter, jam, etc. when an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and starts an unwanted conversation.. American: You Filipinos eat the whole bread? Filipino: Of course! American: ( Blowing bubbles with his gum) We dont. In the States we only eat whats inside. The crust we collect in a container, recycle, rebake them into croissants and sell them to the Philippines. American: Dya eat jam with bread? Filipino : Of course! American: (Chuckling and crackling his gum between his teeth) We dont.

The Elongated Skulls of the Incas of Peru and Early Filipinos
2008-05-25 16:28:00 Tutubi had a chance to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for free at Greenbelt myCinema a few days ago. The new "fake" archeology film takes you to Peru in the Incan capital of of Cuzco and yet Tutubi was dismayed when the pyramid shown was modeled from Chichen Itza from Mexico, the easily recognizable structure of Mayan civilization, and not of Machu Picchu, the authentic Inca city in Peru. It seems the makers of this film, including the director Steven Spielberg, didn't do their homework right by mixing Incan and Mayan architecture.free movie poster from the official websiteAnd how does this post relate to the Philippines?Well, the movie used the elongated skulls of the Incas of Peru were depicted as skulls of aliens made of crystal, related to rumored aliens of Roswell in New Mexico. The elongated skulls were actually made by ancient Incas by binding the heads of infants similar to pre-colonial Filipinos' practice of cranial deformation of the temporal lobe...

Why Filipinos are such great singers
2008-05-07 11:33:00 Travel blogger Chris of Nomad4Ever has an interesting post about Asia's passion for the karaoke. There, he relates his first experience with the machine during a trip to Bohol.Westerners who posted comments can't quite figure out why we Filipinos are so good at singing. So Chris sought an explanation from a Pinoy.Filipina Jasmine Trias of American Idol Season 3Pinay child wonder Charice Pempengco at the Ellen Degeneres ShowBelow is my answer. I think I hit it dead-on.As a Filipino I’ve always thought our perception of our singing talent is mostly subjective. Turns out, it’s not.Now to answer Mike’s question. I think Filipinos are good singers mostly because we love festivities. Every town in the Philippines, big or small, has its own “fiesta.†In simple terms it’s one big party that the whole town celebrates. (A concept brought by the Spanish to our islands. It’s a way of honoring the town’s patron saint.)The way these fiestas are celebrated may differ from town to...

Have you tasted Filipinos?
2008-05-05 21:42:00 It was amusing to find out that in Spain, there is a commercial brand of biscuits called Filipinos! The standard Filipinos biscuit is ring-shaped and coated in either white, milk or dark chocolate. It is said that the biscuits were inspired by the rosquillos of Iloilo and Negros hence the name Filipinos. Its manufacturer added a twist by coating it with different kinds of chocolate.They also sell Filipinos Agujeros or the holes of the biscuits coated in dark or white chocolate, as well as Filipinos Bigsticks. I found it equally amusing that Filipinos are sold alongside popular cookie brands such as Oreo and ChipsAhoy! But it was not amusing that a former administration made a big fuss out of it by filing a diplomatic protest saying that the use of "Filipinos" for a commercial brand was insulting. The Foreign Affairs secretary reluctantly filed the protest saying that he saw nothing wrong with the use of "Filipinos" as a brand name and pointed out that Austrians don't complain that ...

100 Million Filipinos in 10 Years?
2008-04-19 20:15:00 I just read an article from inquirer.net about our country's population as of this date which is 88.57 million in 2007. This is really alarming. According to Former Health Secretary Alberto Romualdez, we are going at 2 million persons a year and that is part of double whammy with respect to food. Do we have enough supplies to feed the masses mouth; especially the prices of commodities are pricey at this time? On the other hand, an increase of food prices will eventually result in hunger, unhealthy and uneducated children. Do you want our fellow countrymen to suffer? I hope the government will address this problem sooner or later before this problem will get worse. I think our growth spurt will lessen if there's a definite Family Planning Program from the government to the masses. Women in the bottom 20% have been bearing and growing six to seven children while the women in the top 20% are bearing two children in their reproductive lifetime. Poor women were bearing more children th...

Today is the Day of Reckoning! Day of Truimph of Filipinos
2008-04-01 11:50:00 The news in the television and over the net is really unexpected today. I never really realized these things could have happened in just a snap. For many years and months, I have been part of demonstrations and social awareness programs for the total independence and emancipation of the Philippines from the evil that has haunted my beloved land and people. My personal silence and prayers were also sacred moments in pondering and diligent asking of miracles of great proportion in my country like the crossing of the people of Yahweh in the Red Sea.The world which has been watching in silence is also moving…most of the times in a different direction quite insensitive and naïve to the Filipinos’ crying. Maybe, there is indeed a morsel of truth that nothing could change this country and deliver it from the hands of evil other than the Filipino himself.But today is the day of reckoning and answered prayers for Filipinos. The great struggle has come to an end! This is the very day tha...

To All Filipinos Everywhere
2008-02-28 04:55:00 Gemma Santos Dimaculangan02/18/2008 09:38 AM I used to think that corruption and criminality in the Philippines were caused by poverty. But recent events tell me this isn't true. It is one thing to see people turn into drug addicts, prostitutes, thieves and murderers because of hunger and poverty, but what excuse do these rich, educated people have that could possibly explain their bizarre behavior? And to think I was always so relieved when petty snatchers got caught and locked away in jail because I never fully realized that the big time thieves were out there, making the laws and running our country. Can it get any worse than this? Every night, I come home and am compelled to turn on my tv to watch the latest turn of events. I am mesmerized by these characters. They are not men. They are caricatures of men - too unreal to be believable and too bad to be real. To see these "honorable" crooks lambast each other, call each one names, look each other in the eye and accuse the other ...
FILIPINOS, STILL UNHAPPY?
2008-02-24 15:32:00 UA&P: TRIVIA TUESDAY When can one say that he or she is happy? "22 years after Marcos, Filipinos still unhappy--analysts" Monday marks 22 years since the fall of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and although the economy has improved the lives of many, politics remains dominated by money, patronage and corruption, analysts say. With the media often drawing comparisons between Marcos and the current President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, analysts believe people have become disillusioned with a political system that is fundamentally flawed and only benefits the few. "People today don't have the same fire in their eyes as they did 22 years ago," said Enrique Esteban, a political analyst with the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), in Pasig City, in the Philippines. "Twice now they have been called out onto the streets, first to throw out Marcos and later Joseph Estrada. They were promised change and an end to corruption, but nothing changed."Mired in yet an...

The Peopling of the Philippines
2008-02-12 11:22:00 The peopling of the Philippines is a bit better understood than the peopling of Indonesia described in my previous post. At least we know that most of the Philippines was first settled long ago by Negritos.An Aeta Negrito woman of the Philippines. White Nationalists and Afrocentrists both insist that these folks are Black people, but they are very distant from African Blacks. White people are much closer to Blacks than these Negritos. Genetically, these people resemble the Filipinos they live with.Their skulls resemble other Australoid types such as Papuans and Aborigines. Genetically, they are classed as Asians. They are part of the Southeast Asian Major Race. Their minor race is known as the Philippines Negrito Race. It includes the Ati, Aeta and, strangely, the Palau of Micronesia.Unlike many other places where the Negritos seem to have died out or transcended to other forms, in the Philippines they still exist in a relatively pristine form, even if they are going extinct, cul...
