How can we add more racial diversity to Southeast Asia the way we have with North America and Europe?

Question

Seriously, I was in SE Asia and it was full of Asians. I don't have this situation when I am in North America or Europe. I see people of all races who are citizens of those countries.

I mean, I met some expats, sure, but I didn't meet any whites, blacks, aboriginals, Amerindians who had been born and raised there or had passports from those nations.

How do these countries do without racial diversity? I mean, I know they have linguistic diversity. Vietnam has Hmong people and they have their language, but it's racially Asian whereas America has blacks, whites, Asians, Natives, even Australian aboriginals.

Answer 1

There are many different kinds of Asians, and not everyone in Southeast Asia is the same:



the northern parts near China have Sino-Tibetans (Myanmar, hill tribes),

then Tai-Kadai groups (Thailand, Laos),

followed by brown-skinned Austroasiatic peoples (Cambodia, Vietnam),

and Austronesians eastward to the islands (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and the Philippines. Also, the Cham people between Cambodia and Vietnam are their relatives).



There are also many aboriginal peoples, who are related to the dominant ethnic groups of Southeast Asia, and there are also the dark-skinned, primitive Negritos of Malaysia and the Philippines as well.



Nonetheless, some of these countries are ALREADY diverse, such as Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Not only there were Chinese people spread throughout those countries, but some of them have Indians (both Hindustanis and Dravidians) and several mixed groups.



These nations could survive a lack of diversity by expelling everyone else who does not look like them (including expats, hill tribes, and aborigines), and by building themselves like Singapore did, if they could even manage to survive independently without Western and Chinese aid.



If Southeast Asia were not so diverse, there would only be one race for every country: so for example,

Thailand will have only ethnic Thais (no hill tribes or Malays),

Myanmar would expel every non-Burmese (such as Kachins, Mons, and Eurasians),

Malaysia and Singapore would expel everyone who is not a Malay (including expats and all aborigines),

the Philippines will have only Tagalogs (no Aetas, Spaniards, Chinese, or Mindanao Muslims),

and all the islands of Indonesia (even next to Papua New Guinea) would be filled with Javanese people only.

Answer 2

What white/westerner would want to live in those Asian countries? Small developing economies, hardly any career or work opportunities, lack of a public health care system, hardly any places for higher education, no democratically elected government, technologically limited, lack of infrastructure, no real civil liberties or political rights, no free press, lower quality of life, lots of poverty and lower life expectancy overall... Much of SE Asia is still considered third world or second world at best.



Sure there are a small handful of expats that live there who may appear to be living it up, but they're not exactly intending on raising a family there. They're not thinking about insurance or health or education. It's like a retirement for them. They're just using their white privilege to milk it for all that it is worth because they can't live that kind of life in their own country. But generally speaking white/westerners do not pack up their **** and leave a first world country to go and live in a third world country unless they have very little to lose. It's the people from third world countries who want to get out of there and live better lives in first world countries.

Create a welfare state.
