I want the image found at 5:41, please :) I am Bugis descent but you wrote it as Burgis (but that's cool coz you included us, yay!), I always get asked if I'm Filipino, Hawaiian, Samoan, Tuvalu, New Zealand, so yeah there is a definite link there.

@lukmanandiuleng

Oops sorry! Yes it should be Bugis. Sorry about that.

[hokulani78]

Let me just make it easier for people

[hokulani78]

Austronesians = Micronesians, insular SE, Taiwan, Madagascar, Polynesia, and parts of Melanesia.

Pacific Islanders = Micronesia, Polynesia, sometimes Melanesians.

Oceania = Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia, Australia, and sometimes Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Taiwan.

Asian = Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thais, and technically everyone from Jews in Israel to Arabs to Turks.

[hokulani78]

Asian, Micronesian, Polynesian, and Pacific Islanders are not races. They are geographical terms. Same with "African" or "European". European or African are not races but continents, a geographical boundary.

[hokulani78]

Austronesian speaking populations are geographically Asian, SE Asian, Pacific Islander, and African depending on which population you're talking about. Not all Austronesian speakers are Pacific Islanders. Malagasy are geographically African.

"Austronesian" is a short hand way of saying Austronesian speaking populations and is therefore a linguistic and anthropological term. It is not a geographical term.

Thank you for sharing this video. Love it. I came upon this as I was researching my results from a DNA Ancestry test I received. I have no idea how I have Polynesian and Australian percentages, but I am happy to learn more. (clueless)
