What is Taiwanese?
1.
I race Of people born in taiwan... NOT people who are Chinese. The People from taiwan have been forced under old terms to side with chinas "One country two governments" system. Which personally is total BS just because Hong Kong went along with it doens't mean Taiwan Should. Taiwan should and will be a free country soon enough.

The majority population living on the island of Taiwan. They are not only culturally different from the Han Chinese, but genetically different as well.
When the Mainland Chinese sailors, bandits, and businessmen came to the island of Taiwan 500-600 years ago, they were for the most part exclusively male.
The ones that remained on the island married the local women with genetic stock closer to the pacific islanders than the Han Chinese.
As a result, the Chinese genetic lineage began to weaken as the mixed children of these relationships had more children. The reason that Taiwanese have Chinese last names is due to the Patriarchy and Racism of Chinese colonialism. Genetically speaking, however,Taiwanese and Chinese are significantly different.
Taiwanese are sexy mofos who are genetically different from the Chinese.

The Taiwanese people are NOT Han Chinese, although outsiders may make the common mistake of labeling them "Chinese", as with most of the other Asian races.
In Taiwan, the population is 84% Taiwanese (including the Hakka people), 14% mainland Han Chinese and 2% aborigine.
Also: Although Mandarin Chinese is the official language in Taiwan, there are also local dialects of Taiwanese and Hakka. The written language is in Traditional Chinese (NOT simplified Chinese), and the romanizations often do not follow Chinese pin yin, but are more suited for Westerners to read.
