What are afro-Asian culture?

Afro-Asian or Blasian is a moniker used to refer a person of mixed Black and Asian(specifically East or Southeast Asian) ancestry.^[2]

Latin America

In Latin America, significant numbers of Chinese first started arriving in the mid 19th century as part of the Coolie slave trade. By the mid 20th century, Cuba and Peru had the largest Chinese populations. By the end of WWII, there were considerable high numbers of Latin American descended from Chinese fathers and local women. One of the most famous of these is the Chinese-Afro-Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, known as the Cuban Picasso. There are also small numbers of Latin American residents of Asian and African descent in countries like Puerto Rico,Haiti and Dominican Republic.  

Madagascar

The majority of the population of Madagascar is primarily a mixture in varying degrees ofAustronesian and Bantu settlers from Southeast Asia (Borneo) and East Africa (primarily Mozambique), respectively.^[3][4] Years of intermarriages created the Malagasy people, who primarily speak Malagasy, an Austronesian language with Bantu influences.^[4]  

South Africa

 

The Cape Coloured population descend from indigenousKhoisan and Xhosa peoples; European immigrants; andMalagasy, Ceylonese and South-East Asian (primarily Indonesian) laborers and slaves brought by the Dutchfrom the mid-17th Century to the late 18th Century. The majority of Coloureds, particularly in the Western Cape and Northern Cape, speak Afrikaans as a first language, while those in other parts of South Africa tend to speak English as well. Coloureds withJavanese or other Indonesian ancestry may often be regarded as Cape Malay and are primarilyMuslims, while the majority of Coloureds are Christian (generally Protestant) or agnostic. Due to similar social adversities experienced under the Apartheid regime from the late 1940s to the late1980s, Coloured and Indigenous South African communities generally fall under the Black social category when it comes to employment and affirmative action policies.^[5]

 

Southeast Asia

During the Vietnam War, African-American servicemen had children with local Vietnamese women. Some of these children were abandoned by the Vietnamese family, or sent to orphanages. Many orphans and children were airlifted to adopting families in the United States in 1975 during "Operation Babylift" before the fall of South Vietnam. The Afro-Vietnamese (or Afro-Amerasian) children suffered much discrimination in Vietnam at that time. ^[6] There was also some controversy as to how these orphaned Afro-Amerasian children were placed in new homes in the United States.^[7]

Chinese male laborers and male migrants who went to Peru, Cuba, Guyana, Madagascar, America, Jamaica, Trinidad where Chinese often intermarried with local black women which resulted in large population of mulatto children.

United States

In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed and Chinese workers who chose to stay in the U.S. could no longer be with their wives who stayed behind in China. Because White Americans looked at Chinese labor workers as stealing employment, they were harassed and discriminated against. Many Chinese men settled in black communities and in turn married Black women.^[8]
