Who Is The MOST and LEAST Friendliest Asian?

[@joshualee5599]

I'm a Chinese guy, and my wife is Filipina. When I got to know her family, I was surprised by how welcoming they are. They just kept feeding me and inviting me to family events. Completely different from my experience with my Chinese ex girlfriend's parents. Definitely Filipinos are the warmest Asians.

[@NBS-rk8bl]

And yet you Chinese can't do that hospitality and caring towards Filipinos when they travel to your country.

[@martinvanburen4578]

In my travels throughout the Orient, I noticed some very striking differences between the Asiatic peoples. This was during the wicker furniture boom of the late 70's and 80's, so it was relatively still less traveled areas. When I was with some Chinese friends, I noticed they often always spoke about how much they ate, wanted to eat or needed to eat. This might be the after effects of the Cultural Revolution when the Chinese people would eat human flesh at times to satiate their hunger. The Japanese I met however were very quiet and rarely spoke about food except during meal times. This was when Japan was the second biggest economy and people were excited by all the innovations. The Chinese were very loud, abrasive and often spoke with food in their mouths. The Japanese would cover their mouths and eat very delicately. When I made by way to Philippines the people were friendly, often smiled even when they had nothing to say and had very little food. So many were starving, but they often invited me to dinner.

im a filipino. there was this korean girl i was hanging out with. everything was going ok until one day when her korean friends saw the 2 of us in a mall, the korean guys went to her and pulled her away from me and we never went out again. on a friendly level, they're okay but having a relationship with a non korean was another matter. but that was 15 yrs ago. im sure a lot has changed and opened up since then.

[@JC0820]

Nah, many Koreans still look down on Filipinos today, even though they love visiting Cebu and Boracay and studying English in the Philippines. I know this because some Korean vloggers who are now based in the Philippines say it is because of how the Korean media portrays the Philippines as a dangerous and poor country. If you go around their country and ask about the Philippines, most Koreans will say the Philippines is dangerous. But even though that's a harsh reality, Filipinos still love K-pop and K-dramas; hence, many Korean vloggers are fascinated by the Filipino people. If you watched their videos, you would see that they are trying hard to remove that stereotype from their country. Maybe in 5-10 years from now, it will change because of the effort of those bloggers.

I get the same vibe, went to a party with Korean (wife) and Lebanese French (husband) hosts here in Switzeralnd.

While I did not spend a lot of time with them, I could tell those girls and boys were so bubbly and happy.

Allow me to correct this,… Filipinos are on average SE-Asians, specifically Austronesian (genetically & ethnically). On average, having varying Indigenous heritage (eg: Aeta) including Australo-Melanesian admixture(eg Papuan). They are strongly influenced by Hispanic culture with a hint of genetic admixture(this admixture consist of both Spanish and Native American genetics as a package hence Latino). Historically, they also take influence from East Asia and South Asia with varying degrees of admixture depending on the individual. The Philippines’ modern culture is heavily Americanized. Filipinos from a distance look like a sea of brown skin, dark haired people but zoomed in they are diverse with variations depending on their specific heritage.

as an Asian who have lived in The OC, Houston, NorCal, LA and Las Vegas. I agree, Filipinos are by far the friendliest. Thai and Nepalese are also very nice and approachable. Koreans are def the most stand-offish. Vietnamese are the most competitive and outspoken. Indians are socially very approachable but also can be Karens. Japanese are the most assimilated to the Anglo-American culture. Chinese are either very assimilated or are very rude if they're FOBs.

I'm Tibetan and by nature I am very kind and expressive. But most people have never met a Tibetan man before so they are very rude or hostile to me since I look so different and my whole life in America has been like that. That has made me very assertive and defensive to insults, which comes across as aggressive or rude so people I meet think all Tibetans are assholes. Which certainly isn't true. I don't think it's fair to make these generalizations about anyone.

Koreans aren't really friendly or hit and miss in making friends with anyone but Koreans will do small talk . It was my American Chinese friend who pointed this to me he told me the Koreans wanted only mingle among their kind but maybe that's half truth it was 20++ years ago dynamics . Filipinos will click with anyone including with Jewish people! in terms of humor. Chinese are friendly as well they just hustle all the time they want to get ahead in terms of finances and that's mostly their goal. Don't leave the Nepalese here they're one of the friendliest cordial pleasant people I've ever met I always love meeting Nepalese people ! They should be 2nd not India.

Philippines was colonized by Spain for over 330 years. I believe in around 1570 China came to Manila but only to trade with Spain, and the Dutch and the British tried to take the Philippines from Spain but they did not stay. Then the US went to war with Spain invaded Manila destroying the Spanish fleet in 1898. Thereafter the Germans under Von Bismarck tried to take on the US for the Philippines but backed down. The US stayed until the end of World War 2. I'm old and as a kid in Manila I've seen Americans all the time even in my school, that was in the early 1960s. So the Filipinos are used to being with Europeans and Americans.

Growing up in the Philippines, the godmother I was closest to was Chinese. Nothing lukewarm about her. Very affectionate and she and her husband always looked for me. Her daughter was a former Miss Chinatown and she (my godmother) was very beautiful. Some Korean American and Korean Canadian ladies, however, have been very nice to me. My son always gravitates toward Filipino mothers because of me. I tend to get along with Japanese. I got along well with a Taiwanese engineer at work (he retired, though, so I don't see him at work anymore) i loved to listen to his stories about his wife and children and his relative who headed a Taiwanese dance company that performed in D.C. The lady who owns the Korean restaurant here in our small town is a sweetheart. A former Mrs. Korea, so beautiful outside and inside. Her husband is Brazilian American, if I am not mistaken. My son works with a number of Chinese models because they wear his fantasy and avant garde hairstyles so well during shows. And let's take celebs. I found Japanese rockers to be really nice and accommodating to fans, regardless of ethnicity and color. On the other hand, I flew to Vancouver for a Korean celeb's fan meeting and sorry, but I found him snooty, not to mention a number of the staff selling the merch were just as snooty. Yet, I went to the Japan Day fest in NYC during Mother's Day weekend and the Japanese were very warm and welcoming. And seeing the star of the "Naruto" stage play was an added bonus.

[@theguy6082]

As someone who grew up and lives in a city with a lot of various types of Asians, chinese should be a LOT higher. Sure there are some pockets of chinese that just stick together but even so they're not totally opposed to the idea of making new friends outside of their friend group. I've had some friends in college that were chinese and they were generally very open. You don't really feel this barrier that they don't want to be your friend. Now Koreans, on the other hand...
