I was reading another topic and the issue of pure Viet blood came up. Since this issue has probably never been raised, I feel that it's time to do so.

Since Vietnamese in central and southern regions came into contact with the Cham, the Chinese(Ming loyalists, refugees, and immigrants) and the Khmers, it's extremely likely that our blood has been diluted somewhat. So let's see if there's anyone in your family tree (which is traceable) that wasn't born a Vietnamese. Also, state that how many people were descendants of that person.

Let me start first: One of my great grandfathers was a Ming loyalist and there are at least 100 people in my family whose blood can be traced back to him.

Southern Vietnamese. My grandma side is Chinese related (Minh Huong), my dad's side as far asI know come from the Central region and we're pretty much "pure" Vietnamese.

On my mother side, my grandfather is French/Chinese/Vietnamese, my grandmother is cantonese. I know nothing of my father side, but one thing i know for sure is that he's from the north (most likely Chinese/Vietnamese scenario).

But on the topic of Vietnamese saying they are pure blood Viet is plain ignorant.

worker bee my sister

no such things as pure... because everybody is mixed

Full was what u mean then. ..........

No Chinese in family thank jesus......

all from South and proud of it

edit

Great grandfather is Khmer while other members are northerners. So I'm not 'pure'.

Both my paternal and maternal sides are from the central region of Hue and as far as I know, our family is pure blooded Vietnamese.

ma is cantonese with a tiny bit of manchurian n a drop of vietnamese (actually i tihnk we're not even vietnamese ethnically )
dad is chiu chao
not 'pure' 2

How do you determine if you're pure? Word of mouth of DNA test?

"pure" is very arbitrary. To determine how "pure" your blood is, you need to trace your roots back as far as possible, either through written documents, objects... or through the stories told by your grandparents who heard it from their grandparents etc. Trace back as far as possible and if all the traceable ancestors were born in your country, then you can claim as being "pure". If one of those ancestors were not born in your country, then you're slightly less pure biologically.

Maternal grandmother was Trieu Chau and the rest are Southern Viets.

wats wrong with being chinese?

Well if I start from 2 generations back, then I "think" I am possibly 100% vietnamese, but that's only going back 2 generations, who knows what I could be if I find out what's going on past then!

But from what I see, both my parent's are from Hanoi, although my dad's mom is most likely Chinese or at least part, but I just consider myself 100% vietnamese, because I can not be too sure.

thank you some one agrees with me on this .... you should tell trashcleaner this.... he keeps on argueing with me that Northern viet are "pure" viet ......

My family last 4 generations was pure.
But now some changing... Some in my family have 2 bloods Viet-Laos
Laotians r very kind people.

All I know is I'm part Chinese on my dad side...

as far as i know, my family is 'pure' blooded and damn, im proud =]

I'm disappointed that not a single person has Cham blood on AF. I might have to do some recruiting.

My father's ancestors were Chinese.

there is no such thing as pure viet. you people are a faction of the chinese.

as far as i know, I'm 100 % pure Vietnamese.

After being on AF for quite some time, i get this impression that southerners are more likely to be mixed, no ?

Yes, that is true. My great grandfather is a Khmer from the province of An Giang in the south, while other members of my family was originally from Ha Tinh province in the north, so I have a mixture of northern Viet and Khmer. But nowadays most of my family live in the south.

Nam Quoc Son Ha from Lac Viet Forum is part cham i think ..........




Me Dont Speak Chinese !!!



cool ur mixed

southerns are indeed abit mixed and exotic looking

Im from South but im not mixed ...............

im a pure hottie



wats wrong with being viet ?

not sure what the heck is "pure'' Vietnamese but I know I am Vietnamese so do my parents and my grandparents.

agreed. I'm from North Vietnam : Hai Phong and from what i know, my great grandparents are chinese. i doubt anyone is actually 'pure' as they claim to be.
However i do consider myself full vietnamese and proud.

^ I'm pretty sure for the past 4 generations, all of my family members are Vietnamese.

I think I am a typical Vietnamese border rat: part Chinese, some Khmer and Cham ancestry from somewhere, part northern and part southern Kinh. And I love it!

LOL 2

No Asian are pure, not Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Khmer, Thai, Arabs, Indians etc etc

Cannot trace back that far but I'm 100% Vietnamese as far as I'm concerned.

Can you explain why you are "100%"?

@ Tay u say theres not such thing as pure but u claim ur 100%

contridicting urself

Like I said there is no such thing as "pureness" racially. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm 100% Vietnamese spiritually and prouds to be such.

yes i agree with u cuz i said that also

where u from ?

me in Canada

my daddy is viet and mandrin... my mommy is viet too with chui chao, cantonese, mandrin... so i guess im half and half
