      part oriental, part white, part native (hispanics are white and native)
      what a weird mix

      casperd2100 - I think it’a quite beautiful, I don’t think of it as “weird” however, I get your point. Also, “oriental” is a rug and perhaps some other items but not an ethic group or people. To refer to the Chinese, it would be appropriate to refer to them as “Chinese” or “Asian” but never “oriental”. 💞

    • @t-dgonzalez2012

      Possibly more culturally dispersed than diverse, but the Chinese diaspora is undoubtedly extensive and important.

    There are MANY MORE than 300 Cubans with Chinese ancestry! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Lots of Chinese ancestry exists among the larger Cuban community, and particularly within the Afro-Cuban community. There is a lot of erasure of the African women who married and had children with Chinese indentured laborers.

    Nothing strange at all...Chinese are all over the world! The world is interconnected as most countries' population are of different races/ethnicities & some people have mixed heritage & aren't even aware of it! Google this chap: Arthur Chung of Guyana.

    In Cuba, Chinese people are or were called "los narras"--but I'm not sure if this is mere slang, or if it's offensive.
