why were asians Veeky Forumstorically given "honorary white" status in the anglosphere and south africa?

They weren't

...

>different type of white (like Polish or Lebanese)
How will slavs ever recover?

acknowledgement of inherent superior qualities that both whites and asians shared

They're hot

cause of their light skin?

Proof once again the South is superior.

They are only racist towards the inferior (intellectually, on average) races.

Perfectly logical unlike Commiefornia.

they were definitely not honorary whites. The wealthier immigrants were obviously treated with more respect and many with high skillsets and a mastery of English were assimilated into society with little fuss, but largely the way in which asian communities made their way to the United States early on was in work crews.

They had more trouble assimilating than almost any comparable cultural group, many formed exclusive communities and the majority were treated absolutely terribly, and if not outright confusion and disgust, most people would only interact with them cautiously, as if encountering a new species.

Outliers to the above abound, especially the more recent you get, but largely the early Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. immigrants were a far cry away from even being considered civilized, let alone a priviliged class

>in the anglosphere
The Chinese were probably the most historically oppressed group in America that weren't niggers.

Business.

I'm sure they're concerned with what some gook thinks about them.

What are natives?

If Asians appeared in larger numbers the south would not consider them white at all. Asians were too small a factor in the southern racial system so since they weren't black they were kinds what since there was no 3rd category.

I've always considered Asians to be white, mainly because they (mostly) are if we're speaking purely about skin tone.

In Apartheid South Africa, East Asians were considered in the white category. There were four categories, each having less rights than the last.

1-White
2- Indian
3- Colored
4-Black

I think whites and east asians consider each other equal until one group comes in mass to the others country.

>every "bad asian" example from thread is about the chinese
Ah, yes, the only asians.

I think it has more to do with the fact most Asian transplants and immigrant in the US tend to be highly educated, affluent, and generally not very violent.

Yea theres really no reason to hate east asians. Hard working well behaved good looking people nothing wrong with them

You can only be white if you came from the countries that are colored blue. Everybody else are subhuman.

Kill yourself you fucking nigger

This is a map of eye color prevalence.

It's true though.
Stop we wuzing meds as white just so a bunch of barbarians can affiliate themselves with the founders of western civilisation.

China's a big country

tbf Americans tended to get pissed about any mass immigration, even from Europe. But yeah, Asians being considered "white" is a very new thing.

>skin tone.
half the chinese have the same skin tone as arabs
there is a reason china is a the country of 5 races under one union

i dont quite get it

The real founders of western civilization were the Babylonians and Egyptians. The greeks and romans were a bunch of copycats.

>mainly because they (mostly) are if we're speaking purely about skin tone.
They are not.

Fun fact: the gene repsonsible for pale skin in whites is a different gene than the one responsible for pale skin in Japanese.
Not to mention, the Japanese, the Koreans and the northern Chinamen are the only people you could say have white skin. Certainly not the Vietnamese, the Thais, the Burmese or the Philipinos who are all shitskins.
