Negritos in Asia are not Black Africans genetically. They are just dark Asians. So that's a mistake in this article.
However slaves would be black Africans and some were shipped to Asians.
But I actually remember this Chinese scientist quote and from what I remember, he was talking about how the Chinese originated from Africa, like everyone else. He didn't say the Chinese were once black. I want to see the original source.
da hell were they then? Are you seriously going to argue that the first people to leave Africa and populate the rest of the world were NOT black?
the first people in China had black skin, nappy hair, etc. all features commonly associated with black people. Hence no matter what they're genetics were, if you saw them in the street you would say these are black people. that is what is meant by black. stop with this genetics talk. race is about phenotype NOT genotype.
if it were about genotype, the Aborigines of Australia wouldn't have been called n*ggers as well
