Are the indigenous of the Americas basically Asian people? (living, affluent)

Chile, no, but Paraguay has plenty of people of indigenous descent.

East Asians generally aren't affluent. The only affluent places/countries would be Japan, South Korea, and city-states Hong Kong and Singapore. And I guess Taiwan is arguably quasi-affluent.

Probably 80-90% of East Asians live in countries poorer on average than Mexico.

Taiwan has double the per capita GDP of Mexico, and even Malaysia is slightly ahead of Mexico, depending on the formula in use.

Southeast Asians are genetically almost the same as East Asians and Amerindians.

And Mongolia and North Korea are also East Asian countries.


So, let's talk about Human Development Index (HDI):


Mexico - 0.756

Peru - 0.737

Thailand - 0.722

Colombia - 0.711

Ecuador - 0.711

Mongolia - 0.698

Paraguay - 0.676

Bolivia - 0.667

Philippines - 0.660

Vietnam - 0.638

Cambodia - 0.584

Laos - 0.569

North Korea - 0.540


Are you sure East Asians and Southeast Asians are in better situation than Latin American countries with high indigenous heritage?

Are you really sure?

OK, but that's still hardly affluent. If Taiwan were a U.S. state it would be considered hopelessly poor. Even Japan isn't particularly affluent compared to the U.S., Australia, Canada, Switzerland, etc.

The point is that East Asia isn't affluent, for the most part. It's overwhelmingly poorer than even Mexico.

According to the IMF, 121 countries out of 187 countries in the world are poorer than Mexico.

That means that almost two thirds of the countries of the world are poorer than Mexico.

So, I don't think it makes much sense to say something like "poorer than even Mexico"...

Philippines and Vietnam should be ranked above Bolivia and Paraguay.

Laos and Cambodia should have at least 0.600.

North Korea's numbers should be a lot lower than 0.540.

And where you are taking that data from?

Philippines and Vietnam are NOT ranked above Bolivia and Paraguay, acoording to the real world collected data, available on this source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...elopment_Index

So, I don't see where you are taking your ideas from...

Amerindians and East Asians are the same race.
