Know what's funny? Last year I found out that some Asian countries actually look a lot like Latin American countries, we even made a new term to refer to Filipino people here in Brasil: Filiprimos which is the concatenation of Filipino with primo (cousin), because of the similarities we have with them.
brotherly peoples, we love to see grains of internationalism
My wife is from a SEA country. We went to Mexico and she was like "these are my people!". Except for all the beans. Beans are for dessert.
There are several Japanese words loaned from Portuguese and cuisine like melonpan, that was mostly from Jesuit missionaries from Portugal I think but that connection is interesting to me, some similar influences as South America.
Oh yeah definitely, I remember learning about that a few years ago. Also it's interesting that we have the largest population of Japanese people outside of Japan here because of the Japanese Immigration from 1908-1960.
Brazilian-Japanese and Peruvian-Japanese immigrants still make a large % of the immigrants currently living in Japan.
Us Filipinos have more in common with Latin America than we do with our neighbors due to Spanish colonialism. A lot of Spanish architecture in the Philippines. Tagalog is a mix between the indigenous Tagalog Filipino language and Spanish. And of course the super duper Catholicism. Our food is definitely South East Asian, though. Adobo is the main dish you'll find in Hispanic countries, but everything else is more like Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, or Japanese cooking.
The one thing that comforts me from seeing the annoying sense of superiority and racism that East Asians display over Southeast Asians is that the major vectors of it(Japan and Samsung KKKontinent) are facing a crisis borne from capitalism, and I can only hope this greatly humbles them. These mfs want so badly to be seen as white and accepted by the same people oppressing all of us
did losing the empire humble the brits
Context provided by Grok and edited by me (sorry for linking LLM comment but nobody else provided context...):
It's a CountryHumans meme poking fun at the recent online feud between [US-occupied South] Korean netizens and Southeast Asian fans. It kicked off from a DAY6 concert in Malaysia (Jan 31) where rule-breaking led to racist comments, sparking unity among SEA countries and global backlash. Just internet drama [amplified and escalated]
Transcription of a tweet by [username removed from screenshot] in reply to the CountryHumans meme reposted by Twitter user @Boju3006:
"Brasil não é parte da América Latina" — batido, sem inspiraçao, soa como discurso reacionário
"Brasil faz parte do Sudeste Asiático" — innovador, vanguardista, causa confusão e fascínio por todo o espectro politico
all the context i had for posting was the image and the funny reply. almost lessens it to know its spawned from a heap of nazi-site drama
The image itself mentions "Jan-Feb 2026 Big drama on (not only) Twitter", albeit in low contrast making it hard to read
this (being the #SEAblings situation) might unironically be being used by indonesia to exploit their papau colonies further as the timing coincided with indonesia preventing court funding independence talks
"Right now, Law No. 17 of 2003 gives the Executive Branch (Ministry of Finance) the power to approve or cut the budgets of the Judicial Branch. Critics and judges argue that if the government controls the court's "wallet," the court isn't truly independent. If the judges make a ruling the President doesn't like, the government could theoretically "choke" their budget."
as well as a focus on korean companies (as part of #boycotthanabank) deforesting in papua despite there being a bigger presence of direct indonesian exploitation by haji isam's conglomerate
"Co-ordinating the [papau] project is the palm oil magnate Andi Syamsuddin Arsyad, also known as Haji Isam (or the ‘new poster boy of Indonesia’s oligarchy’). Isam owns the Jhonlin Group, which has bought two thousand excavators from a Chinese company to begin the deforestation. His cousin, Amran Sulaiman, is the agriculture minister. [...]there have been mass protests throughout West Papua, while a coalition of NGOs and Indigenous groups has drawn the UN’s attention to the project. A UN fact-finding mission has long been a demand of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP)"
but at this point im just lining up coincidences, i dont know much more
It's just heaped in with the rest.
