History Asia and Mexico: the Story of Asian Slaves in Colonial New Spain 

Another great video on a underrated topic!! The term Chino itself is fascinating as during most of the colonial period in Mexico going back to the sixteenth century it's most common usage was to refer to people of mixed descent (usually strongly indigenous and african), at the same time in the Phillipines the term Chino, which may derive from the mercantile Chinese-Filipino name Sangley you went over in another video, came to refer to people of Asian decent in the Spanish eye. At Acapulco where both of these regions met, Chino was used generally to refer to any slave being imported no matter if they were Asian or not. Only later did the association with Asia and China win out in common usage.

In English colonial sources there's similar situation making it difficult to track the precise origins of Asian servants and slaves, but instead of using China as interchangeable with all of Asia, they did so with India, calling all Asians terms like "East Indian" or "Asiatic Indian" to distinguish them from Indigenous Americans.

No wonder why I am infatuated with Asian stuff as a Mexican. Never thought in a million years that it was my deep roots all along

So here my thing 300 k slave came to usa and there descendants rank 40 million today asians slave brought 120k and we gonna pretend like the numbers add up. 250 k slaves in mexico turned into 2.5 million black mexicans. While in usa only 300 k slave came and they have 40 milion descendants. Where are the asian slaves because it sound like they got reclassified as native american. Dna test cant tell native americans apart from east asians. And many populations today are gentically European or indo european. Asian and native american number dont add up also when african maroon escape and resettle in hard to reach areas did asians slaves to. It sound like asian slaves were not in the field and had better life expectancies. But the numbers are not adding up and it sound like the people we call native are mixed just like black americans yet in dna analysis they seen as a distinct native group when there mixed race indigenous and chinese slave.

Ooh, I recently came across Seijas' piece about this topic while writing a paper on a related subject, so it's cool to see a video covering it!

Asian royal culture is a little bit fancier than Europes.....what do you mean slaves?

Ask my Mexican friends what their family calls Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Cambodian, Indonesian, even today they still call them "Chino". Even Filipinos until Pacquiao started knocking out Mexicos top boxers called them "chino" and if it wasn't for Pacquiao they still would be called that.

S/O to all my Asians and Mexicans

Do a video on, Asians in Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!

East Asians And South East Asians may face lots of gross sentimentals in Latin America but it is significantly less then Amerindians And Sub Saharan Africans have to take on yeah.
