Uhhhh.... 

Do you know anything about lowland Tibeto-Burman culture? 

To put it simply, if you take the average northern Chinese farmer and put them in say a Naxi or Lisu village, they will feel perfectly at home. Cultural similarities with Japanese are more surface level/macroscale, while cultural similarities with Tibeto-Burmans are at the core/microscale. So living habits, behaviors, etc. will more align between most Han Chinese and most Tibeto-Burmans than between most Han Chinese and Japanese. This even goes for culturally deviated groups like Tibetans imo. 

And the only reason Tibetans/Bhutanese deviate in genetics is because of their small Paniya-like input from pre-Tibetan himalayan plateau populations. This makes them look more distant on say a PCA than they would be. But the bulk of their genome is clearly from the same source as ancient Sinitics.

I think most Chinese people don't realize just how Tibeto-Burman behaving and looking they are in reality. But once you take the Tibeto-Burman pill you will no longer worry about these retarded "north" "south" notions (ie. lumping in northern Chinese with goddamn Mongolians???))

In fact, I think, without elaborating too much in detail, people with your behavioral patterns (which judging from your online internet behavior is an archetype quite common in mainland Chinese) are more common in Tibeto-Burmans and Hmongs than in say Filipinos

I admit that I don't know that much about lowland Tibeto-Burman cultures, but I don't think their culture is similar to Northern Chinese.

I've seen many comments of Tibeto-Burman netizens from Northeast India on Youtube, and they seem to think that their culture is most similar with Southwest Chinese minorities like the Wa (which is Austroasiatic). I've never heard any of them claiming any cultural similarities with Northern or Central Chinese.

Genetically most lowland Tibeto-Burmans are indeed quite northern-shifted similar to ancient Sinitics and modern Northern Chinese, though you have to understand that genetics and culture are different concepts and aren't necessarily closely aligned or related. But there are also some lowland Tibeto-Burmans, most notably the Burmese, that have received substantial SE Asian and South Asian input.

It doesn't matter how you think Northern Chinese are close to lowland Tibeto-Burmans, both genetically and culturally I'd say the closest people to Northern Chinese are the Koreans. I know this might hurt your feelings, but you have to accept the truth. And yes, Northern Chinese and Inner Mongolians are also quite similar both in terms of genetics and culture, though Outer Mongolians or Khalka Mongols are slightly more distinct. For Far South Chinese from Lingnan on the other hand, their closest relatives are the Vietnamese as well as the various Tai-Kradai tribes in South China and SE Asia. These "north" and "south" notions indeed actually exist and they aren't retarded. Genetically, all Sinitic populations exist on a cline going from Korean/Japanese on the one end to SE Asians on the other end.

I've debated with many Chinese Internet netizens and I think your behavior is much more typical of mainland Chinese especially mainland Northern Chinese than mine. Quite some Northern Chinese netizens tend to exaggerate their relation (be it genetic or cultural) with Tibeto-Burmans while ignoring or sometimes outright denying their relation with Manchus, Mongols, and Koreans / Japanese. And they also tend to relate Koreans / Japanese to SE Asians due to the fact that they perceive SE Asians as inferior therefore by relating Koreans / Japanese to SE Asians they think that they've put them down on their racial hierarchy. All these behaviors have been reflected in your comments.

On the other hand, I've rarely seen mainland Chinese netizens having a favorable opinion towards FSC and SE Asians like mine. My opinion and behavior are rather unique for a mainland Chinese.

- on Khoisan: I considered this at first, but then realized that Khoi-san phenotypes were quite different from both East Asians and Onges structurally. Onges and East Asians are more similar in this regard. Khoi-san actually often look more like some pseudo-Mongoloid Scandinavians like Bjork.

So my thought is that this ancestor likely resembled Onge the most but maybe with a bit lighter skin and different body type or monolids.

Phenotype and genotype don't have an exactly 1-on-1 match. Onge people look like Africans if judging by phenotype alone, yet we all know that genetically they're largely East Eurasian and are quite distinct from Africans.

The thing is Khoisan people are proven to be the oldest Homo Sapien lineage carrying the oldest haplogroups, therefore chances are high that our original ancestors would resemble them than to derived populations like the Onge.

It doesn't matter if he is genetically Northern Chinese, the fact remains that his opinion is closely aligned to those retarded Huang Han sinocentrists that I've seen on Tieba and Zhihu.

And I'm not against him because he has a different opinion from mine, I'm against him because he is being subjective and is deliberately lying and is not telling the truth.

Northern Chinese, culturally speaking, is very very similar to Koreans and Inner Mongolians, all three have a heavy drinking culture and a hot temper. In phenotype, the majority of Northern Chinese (except the few in the far west like Gansu or Ningxia) also has much more in common with Koreans than with Tibetans or Burmese. Genetically speaking, Northern Chinese are quite close to Koreans, closer than they're to Tibetans and to Burmese. Tibetans have some Pariya-like components which push them slightly further away from Northern Chinese.

It's true that certain Southwest Chinese and Hmongs can have hot tempers, but they still pale in comparison to Northern Chinese particularly Northeastern Chinese, who would lose their temper at the slightest provocation, and sometimes even without particular reason.









And in Hmong American's case I can give them some leeway, since they are mostly wartime refugees from Vietnam and Laos, they have been persecuted in their home countries for collaborating with the Americans, and they continue to face racism, discrimination, and poverty even after they arrived in the US. I don't think you would still keep a good temper if you were in their shoes.

And not to mention that Hmongs aren't native to Far South China and SE Asia they originated from Central China and only migrated to their present locations within the past 100 - 200 years. Daic, Austronesian, and Austroasiatic peoples that are native to the region tend to have a much better temper and laid-back attitude.

I've watched the first clip and I think the majority of them can pass as Koreans, only a selective few look somewhat distinct. Maybe Nara can have a better insight on this than me, but unfortunately she's not here.

And there's a government or military official at around 0:39 of the first video (the one shaking hands with a soldier) that looks very similar to Mongolian.
