Talk:Asian Latin Americans

message: So this article has been tagged for references and I've had some pages bookmarked for quite a while so I thought I'd help. I played with Wikipedia a bit but I don't feel comfortable editing plus I don't know how to source/don't want to mess up the article. =/ Forgive me. I hope some of this info helps.
Note: Mexico, along with other countries in Latin America, doesn't do a racial census so official numbers might be hard to come by. 
=== Japanese ===
The numbers of actual populations vary by source.
These sites   include the number of Japanese immigrants to Latin America (and other parts of the world). It also has estimates of Nikkei populations but the numbers seem low in contrast to censuses from such countries as Brazil and the U.S. There are about 1.3-1.5 million in Brazil and 800,000 in the US. They began arriving in Latin America as early as 1892 (Mexico) and 1899 (Peru).
Information about the number of Okinawans immigrants to Latin America. Also gives info about Brazil's 1.5 million Japanese community. 
Japanese speakers in these countries are:
Mexico (35,000) 
Argentina (32,000) 
=== Chinese ===
There about 100,000 Chinese in Cuba (1% percent of the population). 
From Ethnologue, going by the number of native speakers in these countries: Venezuela (400,000) , Peru (100,000) , Mexico (35,000) 
The number of Chinese is most likely higher since this includes only those that speak Chinese.
There have been Chinese in (Sinaloa) Mexico since the 19th century (1895). 
====Chinese in Peru====
isn't it more like 1,300,000 as opposed to 100,000. The Overseas Chinese article says 1.3 million. And many articles on Peru say something like Chinese make up 5% of Peru's population.
====Chinese in Venezuela====
This article needs to be updated. There is a significant increase in the number of Asians in Venezuela during the last decade, especially people from China. Too bad I don't have any official numbers, but I'll keep looking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harreaza (talk • contribs) 03:51, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Chinese in Venezuela

message: This is all I have for now but there are other Asian groups (Vietnamese, Taiwanese, etc.) that I didn't mention and that's because I don't have any info on them but if I can find any I'll bring it up. There are also a lot more Asians in countries such as Chile, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, etc. but, again, I don't have any info on them.
Should Asian Indians be included in this article since most live in Anglophone countries (Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, etc.) which aren't a part of Latin America?

message: I removed 2 or 3 people on the list. Correct me if i'm wrong, but shouldn't the people listed there be born in Latin America? Kelis is American-born and her mother is Puerto Rican and Chinese. Another one i deleted was born in Korea of Mexican decent. If i'm wrong, please correct me and add them back. -- LaNicoya  •Talk•  02:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: List

message: I removed the following statements which appear to be incorrect:
:Vietnamese the most significant group thereafter. While Vietnamese Latin Americans are almost entirely confined to Cuba and Mexico, other Asian groups are represented throughout Latin America.
I don't see any evidence of Vietnamese migration to those two countries, or anywhere else in Latin America. For example this OECD data table shows just 36 Vietnam-born persons residing in Mexico .
:as political or war refugees (victims of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Cultural Revolution in 1966 China). 
War migration from Asia to Latin America was extremely rare. This is because Latin America is all the way across the ocean from Asia and none of the Latin American countries in question agreed to settle refugees in any significant numbers (e.g. Chile accepted about a dozen ex-North Korean soldiers who didn't want to go home, and that's it).
A lot of this incorrect information appears to have been copied from articles written by , who was indefinitely-blocked for trying to propagate various hoaxes about immigration to Latin America. Please be careful when copying information which is not cited to reliable sources. Thanks, cab (talk) 14:00, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect information in the History section 

message: After a discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups, we've concluded that the Joshua Project data are full of errors both in identifying ethnic groups and figuring out where we're located. Just from my own eyeballing of their data, I can see all sorts of blatant errors, like claiming that Indonesia has 7,000,000 Mandarin speakers, or that Mozambique has 22,000 Koreans. That plus their POV-pushing means it's best not to cite them at all or believe any of their information. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Archive 7#Blanking of links for further discussion. Thanks, cab (talk) 00:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Joshua Project links 

message: I just realised that Latin America ≠ South America. Ive just added Suriname to the list before I realised this (apparently Suriname is not part of Latin America). However, before I revert my additions, I just wanted to know if there is any good reason why this article was created in favor of, say, Asian South American? I would think that the latter being a more neutral geographic definition should be preferred instead of cultural or linguistic based definition of a geographic region. ќמшמφטтгמtorque 08:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
