I kind of suspect it because of my Pacific Islander scores on several gedmatch calculators. It's typically about 1.5%. Pacific Islander scores aren't correlated with Amerindian ancestry. Pure Amerindians are about 0% Pacific Islander. I also have some Peruvian ancestry. Don't know exactly how much, but it's confirmed. Peru is full of Asians. Maybe this explains my Asian appearance.

You've likely had a negrito slave ancestry, from what i know the Spainards had rights to bring Negrito slaves to Mexico/Latin America.

Other option is that you've Malagasy ancestry which likely came from your "African" side.

Mainly talking about gedmatch.

That's pretty interesting. I kind of doubt it's from my African side. My African side is about 1.5% on average as well.

Could be from pre-Columbian contacts with Polynesians.

There is ample evidence that such contacts did take place.

Nope.
