  1. if the US never controlled Hawaii, the japanese wouldnt have bombed Hawaii lol. even if the japanese did take hawaii in ww2, the americans can still send aid and walk through foreign occupied land just like they did in europe with france and nazi germany. the US defended the philippines, palau, fs of micronesia, and marshall islands from the japanese, yet you dont see them being part of japan nor part of the US today, are they?

  2.  @AdamSmith-gs2dv  culture death isnt just about the lack thereof free speech or religious freedom lol its about a different culture displacing or assimilating a culture in which this case was unjustly acquired

  3. you sure that corruption and neo-colonial anxiety will simply magically disappear if you surrendered yourself back to said american overlords? that neo-colonial anxiety will just remain as colonial anxiety and the corruption will remain just like the colonial days under spain and the US. no country is immune to corruption especially one who already had a history of it

  4. "ingrates" lol the former US colonies that the US freed like Palau, FS of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and the Philippines had it better being their own sovereign state despite being american "territories" in the pacific. if wealth was what justifies the occupation of foreign land, feel free to surrender your country's independence to the next wealthiest country.

  5. Kendra Voyur yes yes oh philippines so poor, should be dominated by a richer country to be rich as well. by this logic, if another country was richer than your country, perhaps you should surrender your independence too right?

  7.  J KAYLA  native americans are from siberia in the north, not taiwan which is in the south. austronesians like hawaiians all come from the common path of taiwan when they were a common people. proto-austronesians themselves used to be from the continent in present-day southern china which before that, they migrated from the west

  8. im sure the numerous independent countries in the pacific in polynesia, melanesia, and micronesia have all been taken over by Japan or China now, have they? reserve your imperialist conspiracies elsewhere...

  9. chop suey also got transplanted to the philippines via chinese american cuisine when the philippines was conquered by the US in the early 20th century. chop suey is a cantonese dish and most chinese filipinos are hokkien, so its definitely a chinese american transplant. in tagalog and cebuano, it is spelled as "tsapsuy"/"sapsoy"

  10. many young filipinos were marketed during history class to like uncle sam's big banana

  11. puerto rico, philippines, cuba, virgin islands, and guam, northern marianas, fs of micronesia, and palau were all US colonies after the US took them from spain. philippines, puerto rico, and cuba even have the same flag layout with only the colors switched around in solidarity with the coordinated revolutions our countries made before. philippines and cuba got the independence while fs of micronesia, palau, northern marianas got independence with free association whereas guam, virgin islands and puerto rico were left to rot as colonies under the name "US territories". american samoa is also like this and hawaii is just the one that became a state.

  12.  @SeanAlcorn  it was not created by the English, it was created by the Spanish ("Cantón") and Portuguese ("Cantão") from Spanish Manila and Portuguese Macau. The British merely adopted it as just "Canton", when they ruled British Hong Kong.

  13. what you're describing is protectorate status, just like what the US offers south korea and japan

  14.  @faflamingo2193  lol im sure u read my comment to the last bit. im from the philippines and the japanese did not impose no culture on us, only the US did just like it still does in hawaii

  15. @Anonymous lol replace the word Hawaii with the Philippines, Palau, FS of Micronesia, Marshall Islands. Are they long extinct now? how stupid can this comment get haha. the US fended off the japanese from these places yet gave them their independence, what of Hawaii, Guam, Northern Marianas, and American Samoa?

  16. chamorro will point to you when the time comes philippines, palau, fs of micronesia are living nice progressive lives while guam and northern marianas is stuck repeating the same old life under the US

  17. it is because many vietnamese are chinese vietnamese. they are vietnamese of chinese descent, or ethnic chinese born and raised in vietnam as vietnamese citizens, or at least have partial chinese ancestry.
    2
  18. @Louis Bourbon "half asians" wtf how dumb can u get. native hawaiians are polynesians and polynesians are austronesians who literally take root from asia
    2
  19. @Katmandoo by that logic, you are a silly immigrant too and the world would have no natives
    2
  20. they would not need defence if the US were not there. the only reason why north korea threatened guam is precisely because the US was there. do you think any country threatens its neighboring countries of northern marianas, palau, and micronesia
    2
  21. 72 years ago, the philippines was in the exact same position as guam. guam and the native chamorros should have the choice for independence without simply being used by the US military just like it was in the philippines back then. a consequence of being a US territory in ww2 saw the philippines being bombed to high hell

  22. it is an Indonesian thing, specifically a colonial Dutch thing in Indonesia before. In the Philippines, we also have surnames spelled in Spanish spelling ever since Spanish colonial times, and later in 20th century, there are also American English-style spellings, like that surname "李", in Spanish spelling was "Dy", then when Americans came, it became spelled as "Dee" or "Lee", then after independence, China started making everyone use Mandarin Pinyin spellings, so chinese schools taught people to spell it as "Li"

  24. there's so many wrong in this video 1:57 the chinese character for Canton (廣東) did change with Guangzhou (广州) 0:54 if u call Taishanese as "Toisan", then why call Hokkien and Teochew as "Southern Min", and Hokchew as "Northern Min" and Hokchew in reality is even Eastern Min 0:33 they're not variations of a single language nor are they "dialects". they're many different languages under one linguistic family. dialects are for example, Beijing Mandarin, Taiwan Mandarin, Nanjing Mandarin, Sichuanese, etc. Also, the pronunciation of the Mandarin Pinyin-spelled surnames in this video are all mispronounced especially the ones with letter G, B, J, Y, ZH

  25. return Guam to the Philippines!!!

  26. austronesians and native americans have physical similarities. thats why. here from the philippines, they also look like my countrymen

  27.  J KAYLA  i was referring to the borneo-philippine family in general. the dayak people are a numerous group of different people of different languages that have been influenced also by surrounding groups and also chinese migrants just like many other places of southeast asia. i do not know what dna test you are talking about and we are talking about austronesian people not austroasiatic people. the word "austronesian" is derived from greek by scholars to literally mean "south islander". austroasiatic peoples are those like the khmer of cambodia, kinh of vietnam, mon of myanmar. they are not the same. when i said northern papua and mollucas, i did not imply that all of these places became purely austronesian. austronesians only crossed these paths like northern papua to get to micronesia and polynesia and colonized certain areas there where melanesian people have not or at times collide with melanesian peoples. all human people's ancestors come from africa several thousands of years ago. the melanesians and australian aboriginals may just have been the first few to be the forefront to get to papua and australia and retained their dark features

  28. why they walk around the kaaba like people revolve around it like its the center of the world?? when it has nothing in it and it used to be contained with pagan gods?

  31. not just Chinese Malaysians. Tan is Hokkien and can be found among Taiwanese, Chinese Filipinos, Chinese Malaysians, Chinese Singaporeans, Chinese Indonesians, etc.
    1
  32. yes, only in the philippines where the Ng surname is pronounced that way because of tagalog influence from the "ng" particle. the original Hokkien pronunciation is just the "-ng" at the last part of "nang", but even Chinese Filipinos themselves surnamed Ng do not say it that way anymore because of being filipinized.
    1
  33. you're talking about Pinyin. It was pinyin that made those changes from T to D, P to B, G to K, CH to J, HS to X, etc. Pinyin messed it all up.

  34. Guam was a former spanish colony under the Spanish East Indies just like the Philippines, Northern Marianas, Palau, and FS of Micronesia. colonial decree in Manila in the philippines gave out spanish family names to natives without registered family names when the government first start making government records. this the same reason why people in the philippines, palau, marianas, micronesia can also have spanish last names

  35. its not Jo. only american anglophones say it like that. the Mandarin pronunciation of ZH is more like a TS or lighter CH like how she said the ZH in Guangzhou at 1:53

  36. 72 years ago, the philippines was in the exact same position as guam

  37.  @sagittariusone2753  lol if wealth and being prosperous was what justifies being ruled over by others, feel free to surrender your country's independence to every country that is richer than you. the former US territories that you refer to such as the philippines and cuba that are not very prosperous today are not as rich and were not as rich as the US even when being ruled over by the US but now that they are independent, there has now an opportunity for their own countries to prosper by themselves with their own developments whether presently evident or not. even as independent countries, if the US was ever so eager and capable to help develop these countries, they could still do it as equal sovereign countries to each other...

  38. the shift for chinese americans just shows how PRC influenced they are

  39. "Tan" (Hokkien) as well

  40.  @laxer123  because different country, different spelling standards. Lee family traces back to British Hong Kong times. Li family traces back to PR China's Mandarin Pinyin system.

  41. ​ @flaxco  easy for you guys over across the ocean on the literal other side of the world from the philippines to talk like that. when war comes to the philippines, it's us in the philippines that gets affected or even killed due to decisions of politicians literally on the other side of the world. innocent people in your filipino parents/grandparents and relatives' homeland will be killed instead just like what happened in ww2 and previous wars. meanwhile americans in contiguous states sit back and send thoughts and prayers

  42. oo nga marami kasing bobong filipino. kapag magkagera, sila unang ipasabak, doon lang sila mag-isip-isip bakit sila sumabak sa gera ng ibang bansa

  43. actually, it is complicated. I am ethnically Hokkien Southern Han, but my surname uses the Cantonese reading because my father immigrated before from Hong Kong where they transcribed "陳" as "Chan", even though my dad's parents were from Quanzhou, Fujian before moving to Hong Kong during the cold war. my dad and his mom later moved to Metro Manila, Philippines when he was a kid and later grew up in the Philippines all his life.

  44. the ZH is not a J. only anglophones think that way. the ZH is more like a TS like in Tsunami, but not like how some people say that ignoring the T there. maybe for anglophones, it is better to imagine CH but not too harsh of a sound
    1
  45. ​ @HatchetHaro  if you want to be more specific, in IPA, the English J is /d͡ʒ/, but the Mandarin Pinyin ZH is /ʈʂ/ and yeah pinyin Z is /ts/ but I said ZH is more like TS to try and give English speakers the closest familiar sound.
    1
  46.  @HatchetHaro  are you pronouncing tsunami like those guys saying it like sunami?? in my country, we pronounce tsunami same as how the original japanese term is pronounced. also the IPA gave those letters for a reason.

  47. US territories are just another term for colonies. the philippines was in the exact same position 72 years ago except the US gave ph independence while guam and puerto rico were left to rot as "territories"
    1
  48. its a funny map they use. they want to show a little island as guam yet they use a map that only shows certain landmasses of a certain size limit. thats why the philippines is gone and some smaller indonesian islands are gone too
    1
  49. lol the exact same thing is with northern marianas, palau, fs of micronesia, and the philippines yet all of them are independent except northern marianas and guam
