"Historical connection between Yue, Cantonese, and the
Guangdong region conquered by the Han Dynasty, called Nanyue for its relations to the Vietnamese Yue people. " I dont care for yue or cantonese or whatever. they onnly take up a small percent of the entire chinese population anyway. many mandarin speaking ppl do not like cantonese b/c of the dialect and the way they populated chinatowns in western societies. By the way, many Mandarin speaking and/or other dialect speaking ppl find Cantonese not a very good sounding dialect. and lets not start with vientmese. though its may sound a little bit similar to cantoese, compare to cantoesee, its wayy worse. haha. the ugliest languge in the world. |

Ｓorry, but i belive some Vietnamese look Chinese is because they've mixed with the Chinese, not the other way around.
Han is still Han, pure and all. Vietnamesse however is not. Why dont you point out that the southern vietnamese look as dark as diggas while the most northern vietnamese look lighter like southern Chinese is b/c some of them have mixed with Chinese. Its the Vietnamese race that is mixed, not the other way around. And let me point out the theres also 50+ ethnic race in vietnam. Sowey. |

"so you could say the "Purest" Han would be the ones near the Middle of the country latitude wise and on the East Coast longitude wise."
Well, I'm not even sure of that. Historically, there has been a few instances when the empire shifted from the center to the south - sometimes accompanied by large migrations south as well. During the Song Dynasty period, the Song empire gradually weakened from having to fight kingdoms in the south and Manchus, Mongols, Jurchens, etc in the north. Eventually the government of the Song had to relocate to the south, while the entire northern, central, & western portion of the Song Dynasty was conquered and became the Jin Dynasty and Xia/Tangut Empire respectively- ruled by Jurchens and other groups. (and other examples as well) |

@StormBreakLoose
Hey, wutsup man. been a while "I know the Chinese are Diverse, but exactly how Diverse are the Han. Because most Chinese are Han. you're Han right?" Too be honest, it's complicated so I don't know very well either. I think the Han sub-groups can be categorized in terms of ethnicity & mixing with other groups such as Korean, Manchu, etc - but the problem is historically, the sub-groups has been categorized in terms of linguistics/language and geography instead because it's simpler. There definitely is an ethnic difference because the Han who conquered Manchuria and mixed with the natives there are obviously ethnically different than the Han who conquered & mixed with those in Southern Chinese regions, Nanyue, & Northern Vietnam. I'll have to seek a "professional opinion" lol |

@tiredbetch
"i've been okay. in terms of youtube...just been talking shit about japanese as usual..." Japanese Fascists giving you a hard time again? lol Last week, I was arguing with far left protesters and brainwashed Chinese CCP commies. =/ btw, do you know modehazard? "how have you been?" I was bored...but youtube is keeping me entertained =) @kaimana00 Same here. But for me, it depends a lot of the VP candidate. I'm most likely voting for McCain, but if he chooses that bat-sh*t insane evangelical Mike Huckabee, I'm voting for Obama...even if his VP is Hillary. |

I'm not very familiar with this topic, so I found some articles on wiki.
Historical connection between Yue, Cantonese, and the Guangdong region conquered by the Han Dynasty, called Nanyue for its relations to the Vietnamese Yue people. Guangdong and Nanyue en(DOT)wikipedia(DOT)org/wiki/Nanyue Yue and Cantonese en(DOT)wikipedia(DOT)org/wiki/Cantonese_(linguistics)#Histor y btw, have you heard of Chinahistoryforums(DOT)com ? I'll ask the knowledgeable people there about the historical connections. chinahistoryforum(DOT)com/index(DOT)php?showtopic=26575 |

"you cannot tell MOST Han Chinese if they're Northern or Southern just by their appearance. ..Southern Chinese who look Northern and Northern chinese who look Southern."
That's true - some Southern Chinese are more mixed, some are less or not. The ones who are more mixed tends to be much darker in skin tone. The same goes for Vietnamese and Southern Chinese. There are plenty of Vietnamese who look S. Chinese and some that even look Central Chinese, and vice versa. "when we speak of in chinese societies, we mean it by difference in dialect and diet. We are all still the same ethnicity : Han Chinese." True, but take a look at the Cantonese language wuth Standard HK dialect as opposed to the Mandarin language with the Standard Beijing dialect. Cantonese, even though it's Sino-Tibetan, has pronunciations that sound similar to those used by Vietnamese and Austro-Asiatic. |

"siblings from the same set of parent can look very different...one kid can be born with darker skin, the other one is born with lighter skin. "
That would only be a slight variation. But it's unlikely to have a child who has a brown skin tone and another who has ziyi zhang's skin tone...which would be the difference for Central Han vs a lot of Southern Chinese. The difference is much too big. For example, take a look at Southern Chinese Bolo Yeung, who is from the region near HK. en(DOT)wikipedia(DOT)org/wiki/Image:Boloy(DOT)jpg He is probably darker than 75% of Vietnamese people, and looks like he's half Thai. And I've seen many many Southern Chinese who look like him. I doubt this is because of the climate, because as a comparison, many Vietnamese look more Chinese than these types of Southern Chinese. |
