Mixed-race ethnic group originating in Macau
The Macanese people (Portuguese: Macaense; Macanese: Maquista) are an East Asian ethnic group that originated in Macau in the 16th century, consisting of people of predominantly mixed Cantonese and Portuguese as well as Malay, Japanese, Sinhalese, and Indian ancestry. Macanese people are often regarded as multiracial, but this is not always the case. The term has also been used to describe Portuguese and other Europeans who settled in Macau, as well as Chinese converts to Catholicism who adopted Portuguese names. After World War II, many Macanese migrated out of Macau and dispersed all over the globe, causing their history and culture to become at risk of being lost.
