This is enough information for me to determine that you're only half White. The Jewish half you have is more non-White than it is White. If you were 25% or more Ashkenazi, I think that'd be enough to push you over to full White status.

Yeah but not really though. Traditional definition of Pacific Islander goes only as far west as Papua. We're both probably Austronesians, though, so maybe that might be a better category, but even that category would exclude most of mainland Southeast Asia (with the exception of Malaysia, of course). Racial classification is weird.

Native Southeast Asians (Malay, Thai, Pinoy, Javanese, Vietnamese, etc) have similar genetics with Mongoloid race (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc). My history teacher said "proto-Malays came from Dongson, Vietnam and Yunan, China. Meanwhile Eastern Indonesians (such as Papuan, etc) came from Australia." So, they look like Australian Aborigines and Africans. Mixed marriages, wars, trades, religion missions, and migrations from various empires and nations bring foreign influence in Indonesia and South East Asia. We, native Southeast Asians, also expand our influence to the world as what Srivijaya Empire and Majapahit Empire did.

There is a distinct genetic divide between northeastern and southeastern Asian groups however (the terms Northern Mongoloid and Southern Mongoloid are outdated btw) and an indication that the Northern populations derive from a Southern origin point. You're generally right about the Yunnan hypothesis although which originates SE Asian populations there but the distinctions of Austroasiatic being indigenous while Tai and Austronesian are later migrations might be debated if credence is given to Sundaland - the sunken continent that was the true origin point from which the SE Asian and Papua/Aboriginal/Orang Asli populations migrated.
Papuans probably don't originate in Australia, rather they are an earlier Asian population who migrated to Australia millennia before the other Asian groups existed, but are nonetheless as distinct from modern African populations as any other Asian group.
Now Pacific Islander is a loaded term of course and its boundaries are ambiguous. There was a time before politics split the islands that the Oceanic populations of the Pacific Islands were also referred to as part of the 'Malay Race' since they share the same genetics and speak variants of the same Austronesian language group and there is still some who, for instance, argue that the Alifuru of Maluku are Pacific Islanders despite being part of Indonesia (which then raises the question about other parts of Indonesia) and then of course you get the whole issue with Phillipines-Micronesia connection.
Suffice to say though that Pacific Islanders have the same genetic profile as South East Asians

I'm not really sure where my ancestors came from. In wikipedia, it's said that ancestors of native Indonesians were Homo Erectus from Asia (mostly from Taiwan?). It makes me more confused. But, you may be right that Australian Aborigines came from Southeast Asia. That's still debatable. In fact, all races and ethicities are mixed. Nothing is pure. We, human beings interact each other, so we create new culture more and more. Playing Nationstates is our culture now. LOL.
