    Okay this is gonna sound dumb but I’m bad at history. Is the reason there are so many German Asians because of the Axis during WWII?

    Edit: Ah, it’s because of the Vietnam war. This is mildly embarrassing but it’s better than staying ignorant.

      No.

      A lot of people with (East) Asian roots in Germany are Vietnamese. West Germany had refugees during the American War in Vietnam and Eastern Germany had people coming over because of the socialist brotherhood thing (cheap workers for unpopular work).
