@MrSivram28 researches had hypothesized that they migrated from Africa some thousand of years ago using landbrigdges. I'm Filipino and I embrace their presence in the Philippines. I believe in cultural diversity and that's what makes every country unique. African origin or not they are one of the Tribes in the Philippines which also share common features with the other Tribes that can be found in Asia and the Pacific Region.

@hawkermustang they're not africans. they tribe in the and born in the phils so they are filipino.

@paulyatekul0l But, it is obvious they are African or Negroid, how they wound up in the Phils is unknown but they are African none the same. I think one common mis-conception is that all African people look the same. however when i look at a Bush man from South Africa, he looks some what different from a guy from the Sudan, but i'd say they are both from the same race, generally speaking.

@nikaoam Thats not what I said. I said they arent genetically european. They may look european, but that doesnt make them european.

[nikaoam]

@Lordofthenipplerings What I am trying to say is IF WHITE-SKINNED HUMANS CAN BE VIEWED AS 'WHITE', IN SPITE OF GENETIC EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, THEN WHY CAN'T BLACK-SKINNED HUMANS BE GIVEN THE SAME COURTESY & BE EXCEPTED AS 'BLACK'??

WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD????

[nikaoam]

@Lordofthenipplerings The Berbers of North Africa are a classic example. I read a study years ago that stated that even the blondest, blue-eyed, rosiest-cheeked Berbers are genetically & lingistically closer to Black Africans than white Europeans. & yet, Berbers are almost universally classified as "CAUCASIANS" SIMPLY DUE TO 'WHITE' PHYSICAL APPEARANCE & ARE SAID TO BE TOTALLY UNRELATED TO BLACK AFRICANS.

CONT.

@Lordofthenipplerings However, whenever these same Western anthropoologists study white-skinned humans who are genetically different from white Europeans, they will NEVER say,"THESE PEOPLE AREN'T WHITE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SHARE THE SAME DNA WITH WHITE EUROPEANS!" These gnetically-non-European white-skinned humans are seen as the kith & kin of white Europeans simply due to THEIR 'WHITE' PHYSICAL APPEARANCE!!!!

CONT.

[nikaoam]

@Lordofthenipplerings THAT'S MY POINT!! Whenever Black-skinned humans who live outside of Africa (& are not descended from imported slaves) are studied, the Western anthropologists are always saying "THEY'RE NOT BLACK BECAUSE THEIR DNA IS DIFFERENT FROM BLACK AFRICANS!"

@nikaoam Fins, Hungarians are fairly european. Only their language isnt european, which is an indication of their origin or of the people who had initially settled there. A better example would be kennewick man. Who may look european according to some observers. But may not be european genetically.

[nikaoam]

@Lordofthenipplerings Then, using your logic, European ethnic groups, like the Finns, the Hungarians & the Basques, who for all intents & purposes, look 100% white, are not white at all because their DNA is so genetically different from most white Europeans.

Right????
