Afro-Asian refers to a person of mixed Black and Asian (specifically East or Southeast Asian) ancestry. The term also can refer to modern descendants of aboriginal mostly uncontacted Asian ethnic groups with direct genetic ties to ancient first-wave migrants coming out of continental Africa. Historically Afro-Asian populations have been marginalized as a result of human migration and social conflict. Much has not changed for many within the global present-day Afro-Asian population.
