I was in Myanmar for a two-weeks vacation and I met this Japanese dude at the bus terminal. We didn't really talk there but after we arrived at our destination, we warmed up and chatted. He told me he thought I was a Japanese and had wanted to speak Japanese to me (kinda amusing since I don't think I look Japanese in any way, and am slightly tanned too), while I thought he was a local Burmese since he was so tanned and had this rather rugged look lol.
In San Francisco there are a lot of South East "Asians" (Filipino, Viet, Burmese, Laotian, etc). These South East "Asians" can easily pass for brown Mexicano or Negrito.
Anyways, I don't doubt you could have mistaken him for Negrito. A lot of Japanese are into the whole African culture wanting to press their hair into a Filipino afro puff and put brown tan on to resemble Filipinos. BROW IS BEAUTIFUL!
LOL come to think of it, the Japanese dude I met had a natural curly hair, which I find amusing. :P
He obtained his deep tan from his tennis coaching days (he worked as a tennis coach in his school as part time).
There are Chinese of Vietnamese nationality. I've met NATIVE Viets though and they look completely completely different. I met a Vietnamese man whose dad was some sort of native tribal leader in Vietnam. They could both pass for brown Negrito Hispanics, or Filipinos (as my dad said).
Wow, the woman on the left looks like a Pinay! [Btw, I believe these are Hmong]
This native Pinoy can pass for many things. He looks very Hispanic/black.
