Hakka originally from Korea and Japan?

[Kowloon Dragon]

so is this true? i know it is discussed in the other thread but this is its own thread. I am Hakka, and i have friends telling me i look Korean, so i am wondering.

[Dylan]

No. It is baseless. Looks is no basis for deciding origin.

hey man,

I'm hakka too... and now i'm studying in Seoul as exchange and some people thought that i was korean... But i think if all asian get naked with no make up, we all look the same man whether u re jap chin or kore or watever...

By the same token, anyone who is white could be Russian if they all stood naked in the middle of Moscow.

Physical characteristics is not a good way of deciding what language they speak, or what food they like to eat!

May be that is because we have small eyes and they don't know Asians well.

You can see the difference clearly if you want.

[qrasy]

Hahaha. Koreans very easy to distinguish from Chinese among the "fair Mongoloids"

[DarkGhost]

Rofl, no. Hakka's came from central/north China. Henan, Shaanxi province etc. There's no way Hakkas came from Korea/Japan.

[andalas]

No, no way they came from north central China. I think they come from Southern Chinese.

[Thomas Chin]

The present Hakka areas are in the Southern China, but they originated from the Northern parts (as many of the inhabitants of Souther China)

Southern Chinese are a mix of South inhabitants and North comers, but genetics show that they are more of South.

Maybe the south inhabitants also came from north, but I mean the Southern China's inhabitants at the Han age.
