People don't always stay in the country they were born in. It's called emigration. Other people born to Asian parents in that country will then be full-blooded Chinese or Korean or whatever other nationality their parnets were, but will also be Portugeuse citizens. Combine this many times over - and especially given that minorities tend to stick together in groups with their own clique - and you get people who are entirely of Asian descent, yet have ancestors who haven't been in Asia for a hundred years.

The presence of East Asian features in some Portuguese people can be traced back to historical interactions between Portugal and countries in Asia, such as China and Japan. Intermarriage and migration have contributed to the diversity of physical appearances found in the Portuguese population.

Does myliey Cyrus hate asains?

Her and a friend took a photo with two asians and Miley and her friend pulled their eyes to make them look like Asian eyes. I don't see this as dissing asians but the critiques need something to talk about and they always try to see the worst in famous people and so they started up the rumour that they were dissing asians.
