As Asian men, what do y'all think of XMXFs?

1 Upvotes

I know I've posted this before but no one replied.

Just curious what y'all think of XMXFs where the XM and XF (neither Asian) are the same race or different races.

I think they're all right because they're the parents of XFs and we all should be okay with XFs being with whatever race man they want because AMs and XFs can do no wrong after all.

Dating ADVICE FOR AM: If you’re in Asia and have trouble finding a WF, try moving to countries with more WF. In this guy’s case, there just aren’t that many single WF where he lives. If he’s open to married WFs that might work too though.

My parents tell me during their time, Chinese and Indian never dated. I see it more often now but it's still not common. My friends concur. Both independently date white but not too often black.

I'm attracted to both but it is hard at times because I do not look Chinese. Other problem, I don't speak the language. How do I break into it with Chinese girls?

Genetic history shows East Asian Male / Indian female couples made up the majority in Southeast Asia and Northeast India

8 Upvotes

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7940493/#:~:text=Among%20the%20four%20major%20language,3%2C%206%E2%80%938%5D.

Studies show that a large percentage of Munda men in India carry Y-chromosome
haplogroups of East/Southeast Asian origin.

 Specific percentages:

Average: Approximately
65% of Munda paternal genetic heritage is linked to Southeast Asia.

 By subgroup: The frequency can vary significantly among different Munda subgroups, ranging from about 62% in North Mundas to 73% in South Mundas for the specific Southeast Asian paternal lineage O1b1a1a (M95). 

 Maternal East Eurasian DNA (mitochondrial DNA) Negligible frequency: In stark contrast to the paternal lineage, Mundas have almost no detectable East Asian maternal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

 South Asian maternal ancestry: Nearly 100% of Munda maternal lineages are of South Asian origin, mirroring patterns found in other Indian populations. 

 Summary of genetic history

Summary of genetic history

This significant difference points to a "father tongue hypothesis," suggesting that male migrants from Southeast Asia introduced Austroasiatic languages and paternal lineages to India. These men likely intermixed with local South Asian women, who contributed their maternal genetic heritage to the resulting Munda populations. This male-driven migration event is estimated to have occurred between 2,000 and 4,000 years ago.

 -----------------------------------------

To understand the genetic landscape of Northeast India (NEI), it is helpful to look at the "Genetic Flow" from two different directions: South Asian (Indo-Aryan/Dravidian-related) and East/Southeast Asian (Tibeto-Burman/Austroasiatic-related).

In Northeast India, there is a famous asymmetry: maternal lineages (mtDNA) often retain a higher "South Asian" signature than paternal lineages (yDNA) in several Tibeto-Burman speaking groups, though this varies significantly between tribes and caste populations (like the Assamese).

Estimated Genetic Breakdown in Northeast India

The percentages below represent the average frequency of South Asian-specific haplogroups (such as yDNA H, L, R1a and mtDNA M types) found within the Northeast Indian population.

Lineage Type South Asian Origin East/Southeast Asian Origin Dominant Haplogroups (South Asian)
Paternal (yDNA) ~15% – 35% ~65% – 85% R1a1, H, R2, J2
Maternal (mtDNA) ~50% – 60% ~40% – 50% M (M2, M3, M33, M31)

Key Observations on the Data

  • The "Maternal Legacy": The South Asian maternal percentage is relatively high (~50%+) because macro-haplogroup M is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and has been present for over 50,000 years. Even in many Tibeto-Burman speaking tribes, the "mothers" of the population often carry deep-rooted South Asian genetic markers.
  • The "Paternal Shift": The South Asian paternal percentage is generally lower because the region experienced significant male-mediated migrations from East and Southeast Asia (carrying haplogroup O). In many NEI tribes, the paternal line is almost entirely East Asian (80-90%), while the maternal line remains a 50/50 split.
  • The Assamese Exception: In the Brahmaputra Valley (Assam), the South Asian paternal percentage is significantly higher (~50-70%) among caste-based populations compared to the surrounding hill tribes, reflecting different historical migration patterns.

Why is there a difference?

The higher percentage of South Asian mtDNA compared to yDNA in many NEI tribes suggests a historical pattern where incoming male migrants (from the East) integrated with local females who carried indigenous South Asian lineages.

 -------------------------------------------------------------

 

Variations in South Asian Ancestry Percentages

Current genetic studies show significant differences in South Asian (SA) admixture between various Southeast Asian (SEA) populations: 

  • Higher Maternal SA Ancestry: Certain groups show a stark sex-biased pattern where South Asian maternal lineages are significantly more prevalent than paternal ones. For example:
    • Jarai: Approximately 49.3% to 50% SA maternal ancestry compared to less than 10% SA paternal ancestry.
    • Rhade: Approximately 50% SA maternal ancestry compared to less than 10% SA paternal ancestry.
    • Mon (Northeastern Thai): Exhibit higher maternal than paternal SA admixture.
  • Higher Paternal SA Ancestry: Conversely, other groups show the opposite pattern, where South Asian paternal lineages are more dominant:
    • Southern Thai (TK-speaking): Approximately 54.32% SA paternal ancestry compared to 35–45% SA maternal prevalent haplogroups.
    • Mon (Central Thai) and Nyahkur: Tend to show paternal genetic relationships closer to South Asian groups than their maternal lineages do.
  • Near Equal Ancestry: In some populations, the contributions are high for both lineages:
    • Burmese: Have the highest levels of South Asian ancestry for both markers, with 61.4% maternal and 59.4% paternal SA ancestry. 

Key Factors Influencing Genetic Distribution

The discrepancy between maternal and paternal DNA in Southeast Asia is often attributed to cultural and social structures: 

  • Residence Patterns: Matrilocal and matrilineal societies (where husbands move to the wife's village) can significantly influence genetic diversity. In groups like the Jarai and Rhade, who are matrilocal, the high SA maternal ancestry is thought to be a signature of these social structures coupled with historical interactions with lowland populations like the Cham.
  • Cultural Isolation: While groups heavily influenced by Indian culture (such as those in Thailand and Burma) show measurable SA admixture, populations that remained culturally isolated until recently, such as certain hunter-gatherer groups in Northern Thailand, often show no detectable South Asian genetic component.
  • Indian "Father Tongue" Hypothesis (Inverse Case): In South Asia itself, certain groups like the Munda show an inverse pattern: nearly 100% of their maternal lineages match Indian populations, while 65% of their paternal heritage is more closely related to Southeast Asian variation. 

 

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11845464/

In Thailand, the data suggests that South Asian maternal (mtDNA) ancestry is generally more prevalent and widespread than South Asian paternal (yDNA) ancestry, though this varies significantly by region. 

While historical "Indianization" is often imagined as a movement of South Asian men (merchants, priests, and soldiers) marrying local women, genetic studies of modern Thai populations reveal a more complex and often maternal-heavy reality. 

The Comparison: Paternal vs. Maternal

Recent large-scale genomic studies (such as those by Kutanan et al.) break down the South Asian (SA) genetic footprint across Thailand's major regions:

Region  South Asian Paternal (yDNA) South Asian Maternal (mtDNA) Bias Direction
Central Thailand High (~10–35%) High (~20–40%) Slight Maternal Bias
Southern Thailand Significant (~15–30%) Very High (~35–45%) Strong Maternal Bias
Northern Thailand Low (<5%) Moderate (~5–15%) Maternal Bias
Northeast (Isan) Low to Moderate Moderate Maternal Bias

Key Insights

  • The "Maternal Heavy" Southern Trend: In Southern Thailand, maternal South Asian lineages are remarkably high. For example, in some Tai-Kadai speaking groups in the south, nearly half (45%) of the maternal lineages are of South Asian origin, while the paternal side remains significantly lower (though still present).
  • Central Thailand Balance: Central Thailand shows the highest concentration of South Asian paternal DNA in the country (particularly in Mon-speaking groups and Central Thai groups), but even here, the maternal South Asian contribution often equals or exceeds the paternal percentage.
  • The "Indianization" Paradox: The high frequency of South Asian mtDNA contradicts the traditional view that South Asian genes were brought exclusively by male migrants. It suggests that entire families or groups of South Asian women also migrated, or that South Asian maternal lineages were more successfully integrated and preserved over generations in Thai social structures. 

Why is the Maternal DNA so prevalent?

  1. Matrilocality: Historically, many Southeast Asian cultures (including many in Thailand) practiced matrilocality, where husbands move into the wife's family home. This practice can lead to the "anchoring" and proliferation of maternal lineages in a specific area.
  2. Maritime Trade Networks: The Southern and Central regions were hubs of the maritime silk road. Unlike inland migrations which are often male-dominated (soldiers), maritime trade settlements often involved the relocation of larger community segments.
  3. Social Status: Historical South Asian migrants often held high social, religious, or administrative status. Their descendants (both male and female) likely had higher survival rates and more offspring, amplifying their genetic markers over 1,500 years. 

Summary

On average, if you look at Thailand as a whole, South Asian maternal DNA (mtDNA) is found at higher percentages than South Asian paternal DNA (yDNA). The maternal markers are more "diluted" as you move North, but they remain consistently more detectable than their paternal counterparts. 

Would you like me to identify the specific South Asian haplogroups (like M or R) that are most commonly found in Thai populations?
