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.

What is the Portuguese culture?

Portuguese culture, mirrors the Spanish culture. Since Portugal and Spain, are both on the Iberian Peninsula, the ancient Roman province of Hispania and later, Lusitania specifically for Portugal. Simply look at Portugal and Spain, the entire Iberian Peninsula looks one big country. Consequently, when dealing with wars, empires and the overall history, Portugal share the exact same history as Spain. It was a Roman province, and it it was conquered by the Muslim Moors. The later, drive back out during the Reconquista in which Portugal and Spain became back under European rule. Football (soccer), is as popular of a Portuguese sport as it is in Spain or Mexico. Like Portugal's eastern neighbor, bullrunning and bullfighting are also popular in the streets of Portugal as they are in Spain. Although Portuguese people don't speak Spanish, but their language bears much, much resemblance and intelligability with Spanish. They speak the Portuguese langauge, and it like Spanish, it originated from the Latin language and belongs to the Italic family (Romance). In fact the Portuguese langauge itself has Galician origins, which is in Spain. Portuguese people, also celebrate beach holidays and village holidays of their own. Like Spain and Italy, Portugal is also known for its bars, winery and vineyards. Portuguese people, again; they much like their eastern Spanish neighbors. They are proud, happy and crazy people enjoying life. Which explains why Portuguese and Spanish people love bullfighting.
