[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] You miss the point that black and nigger weren't terms limited to Africans. From the colonial era until today the English speaking world relegated "very dark" skinned people anywhere they found them to the "nigger" class. Not only that, in the deleted Polynesian thread al~Jahiz was quoted listing some Austronesian speakers as among the blacks. Also the far east Asians in their own records have a black and white divide. I know from intimate experience that Chinese who relocated way down south in Indonesia say they are the white Chinese. [IMG]http://www.moalboal.org.uk/maps/se_asia.jpg[/IMG] Thus when a very dark south east Asian denies being black they are doing so from buy in to the true negro concept where only the ones westerner anthropology dubbed "negrito" can be black. Since Filipines "negritos" were oppressed by Austronesians, non-"negrito" Filipinos may bristle at being classed the same as those whom they've subjected. Yet at the same time we see our own very dark Filipino sling contumely on other people who eschew the black label for similar reasons. But what's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander except when the chef's goose is cooked. [/qb][/QUOTE]Absolutely. The reason whites used racist slurs against many Filipinos was because many Filipinos were indeed dark and it was not just the Negritoes. Dark skinned people with so-called "Asian" features are just as aboriginal to South and South East Asia as the so-called Negrito type. The populations of India are a good example of this. No matter how you slice it or try to deny it, ALL features originate among black aboriginal populations in all parts of the globe going back 10,000 years or more. And it is the fact that dark skinned people are considered examples of "primitive" humans, meaning ANCIENT ABORIGINAL humans from the beginning of mankind, that caused so much racism in the first place, especially against those with curly hair and more "African" features. In fact, the reason some Egyptians are linked to Asia is because there are many aboriginal populations along the Nile that have straighter hair and thin features similar to the features found among people in places like India.
