While I'm not the OP, I am an American that is currently living in South America. So I can at least comment on that part.

There is a long history of asian immigration to South America. The country with the largest Japanese population after Japan is Brazil. Have you ever wondered why Jiu-Jitsu, something that is obviously asian in origin, has a Brazilian version?

There are also large asian population in other countries. For example, an estimated 3-5% of all Peruvians are of asian descent. Peru also elected a Japanese Peruvian, Alberto Fujimori, as president.

In Argentina, where I currently live, there are a lot of Chinese people that come over and start grocery stores. In fact mid sized neighborhood grocery stores are called "chinos" in Buenos Aires.
