you forgot to mention Filipino language compared to Indonesian or malay language

I'm really confused why a lot of Filipinos are experiencing identity crisis which is really weird. We're asians like Malaysians and Indonesians.

Most of the time is true, but not always. Some Latinos with indigenous heritage can easily be mistaken as Asian. I'm Filipino, sometimes I mistaken Latinos as Asians. Latinos always mistaken me as Latina. lol

omg, i would always say that too! hahaha

Ulul

Mgq tqngq

yes

True. Only in youtube I heard this info..haha

true, it sounds a footwear to me, Islander, who got it?

That term’s only used here in the states, specially in california

True

We came from the same race; the "Austronesian"

In our history class, we were taught that the Spanish colonizers would burn any relics they encountered, possibly to influence our ancestors to convert to Christianity and erase traces of their original way of life. Despite our desire to preserve our culture like our neighbors did, much of it has already been lost. The Spaniards even derogatorily referred to our ancestors as "mang-mang," which isn't true at all given the intricate designs of many artifacts recovered in far flung areas. Heck a writing system was even discovered, but it was already too late since most Filipinos got used to the foreign alphabets.

I'm dating an indonesian right now

We love our ASEAN siblings. Well, especially Indonesians and Malaysians.😅

You belong to the same continent but Asia is really large which in reality you are really different from each other since Filipinos and Indians have different genetics, looks and culture. Only the people of the world divide the land to continents and it happened that you were included in the same piece of large land but if the division tried to divide Asia into other two continents then you would probably accept that you would be different.

i feel ya. im meleanasian from the pacific. but iwas raised in England. people thought i was either african american or african.

@@andrearoces8597 A lot of Northeast Indians look similar to Filipinos. But their land was sort of added to India about 150 years ago and they still maintain a different culture than the rest of India (plus there's tons of racism that's thrown around between them and the "main" Indians)

Yes they like to sing and EAT. 6 am merianda. 7 am breakfast then later merianda and lunch. Must stop for lunch regardless of what job needs finishing then merianda and dinner and late merianda. Hehehe i was at pharmacy recently and there were customers and bell went and all staff stopped for 5 minutes bell rung and all back to customers. A few of the shops i buy lots from shut 12 to 1 pm for lunch. Eating is a big part of their life. The still laugh loudly and sing anywhere and smile and say please and thankyou and are courteous and generally pleasant to be with. Things many Australians have forgotten or dont do.

How much more confused she would’ve been if she really had direct Hispanic blood line. She would say, so is it Asian, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic? 😅

Is japan considered a pacific islander lol?

​@@geliram Honestly, nobody here considers themselves "Hispanic". Maybe some super rich families do, but there's only a handful of them, and they probably don't speak (nor feel) Spanish at all. Ethnicity is not a big thing here. In legal papers, you only have to state your nationality.

It's because some latinos have some indigenous American blood or pure indigenous. And there are theory that they came from some part of ASIA

@Cold HEARTED most of these interactions are the typical day to day activities, like when im at shop buying something and a latino/latina works there, they would just start speaking to me in Spanish. Or if a Latino is lost, i get approached asking for direction..and of course i would say "sorry i dont speak Spanish". Also, i have dated a Puerto Rican girl before and worked and hanged out with people from all over Latin America..Bolivians, Ecuadorians, Colombians, Cubans, Dominicans,..Im in the NYC tri state area.

@@HiItsMe-ip8cj hahaha

I grew up with Filipinos and they all classify themselves as Asian.

@Rock Roll technically Asian sila. The same way Indians and Pakistanis are

@Rock Roll Middle Eastern countries like Saudi or UAE are West Asian countries. So yes, they are Asians. As for Russia, large part of it is located in North Asia. In fact, the eastern portion of Russia, mostly encompassing Siberia, is part of Asia and makes up more than 75% of the territory. The people in that portion of Russia are considered as Asians.

@Rock Roll That's not what I said. I just said that the inhabitants of those areas that is still in Asia are called Asians. Asian is not a race but rather a group of peoples that is located in the Asian continent regardless of their race. Melanesian, Mongoloid, Malay, Semitic or whatsoever. Like Arab people in West Asia, people in the eastern part of Russia, Melanesian in Indonesia, Pakistanis and Indians. I honestly don't get why you said "so you think that race is based on the continent?" because I did not even mention any thing about race in my comment. Can you at least quote what I said to create such assumptions that I did say such a thing instead of just calling me a "fucking retarded?"

Yang mga FilAms ang may kasalanan

Not all FilAms. Most Filipinos here in the U.S. consider themselves Asian and are seen as such. It's usually the self-hating types who don't want to be considered "Asian", no matter how hard they try to fool themselves. Some FilAms however are really that ignorant of their culture, smh. There are some people (small percentage) who don't consider Filipinos Asian because they are darker, and the lighter Filipinos are often considered mixed, even if they're facial features look obviously Filipino. Those small percentage of people really can't see pass skin color, smh.

Filipinos are not Asians because Asians refer to east Asians, mainland Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. Philippines is ethnically Austronesians or what is commonly called Pacific islanders. Our DNA is different to Asians.

​​@@___Anakin.Skywalkeryour obviously wrong lol .....stop making assumptions get your facts right Austronesian came from mainland China (but not Han chines) to Taiwan and spread across the pacific region, not the other way around... Austronesian came from mainland Asia from the start so it's obviously Asian pilipinos are Asian, Southeast Asian with Austronesian blood Ancetry and language that came from mainland Asia...

@@jenjess64 no you super wrong and spewing ignorance. Austronesians aren't Chinese and have distinct DNA. LOL what an embarrassing smart azz

@@___Anakin.Skywalker lol colonial mentality did you learn Philippines history? or inshort your racist Calling Filipinos as Pacific islanders it's means you have colonial mentality. Philippines is a former U.S colony. Filipinos labelling as Pacific islanders is a product of colonialism in short American colonial legacy. American calling Filipinos as Pacific islanders it's based on colonial legacy and purely political nothing do with genetics, history and cultures. Our ancestors, the Austronesians, originated in Southern China and Taiwan, and they're the reason why Filipinos exist today. Austronesian people is originated in Southern East China migrating to taiwan then enter the Philippines bringing their cultures, languages, influence and traditions in our country they are the reason why we Filipinos exist today. U.S census classifying Austronesian is a languages family instead of genetics ancestry they already ruin the Austronesian race of Filipinos because U.S census labelling Austronesian is a language Family or linguistically related to Austronesian like for Example Austronesian speaking melanesian, Austronesian speaking Polynesian, Austronesian speaking micronesian and I can't deny we sharing some genetics but it's not accurate labelling Austronesian is language family. So why did the American colonial legacy government label Filipinos as Pacific Islanders? Frankly, it's a gross oversimplification and a disservice to our heritage. The truth is, Filipinos have strong connections with our neighbors in East and Southeast Asia, both culturally and geographically. The American colonial legacy government's attempt to categorize Filipinos as Pacific Islanders was misguided and damaging. It not only misrepresented our identity but also reinforced harmful stereotypes and misconceptions. By erasing our Southeast Asian roots and lumping us into a category that doesn't accurately reflect who we are, they undermined our sense of belonging and perpetuated a distorted image of the Philippines. But here's the thing: we won't let their colonial legacy define us. We know who we are-proud Southeast Asians with a rich and diverse heritage. It's time to reclaim our identity and celebrate our Austronesian roots. So to anyone still clinging to outdated labels, hear this loud and clear: Filipinos are not Pacific Islanders, and it's about time you recognize and respect that.

actually Indonesians are more influenced by Dutch food language culture but Indonesians don't admit that it's Dutch influence, meanwhile, Filipinos are less influenced by Spanish food language culture but Filipinos admit they are Hispanic 😁😁

@@dinosaur8724 yeah, it sounds like 3 languages since there's some spanish words mixed in😂

The accent has the heavy R sound that countries like Australia and England don't have, very American sounding and they use this sound when talking to foreigners. The R becomes more Spanish and they tend to roll it when speaking Espanol or Tagalog. Most Filipinos can pronounce the F sound like when they want to say Philippines, however usually substitute the F for a P because of their language. B and V are also indistinguishable

We use English, Filipino, and Spanish lol. May CAKE sa plato( spanish)

I can verify that statement. I love hearing Filipinos talk.

Good Answer ✔

Pacific islanders are known for being big.

Culturally Hispanic? What about the Mamanwa people of the Visayan islands, the Igorots of Banaue, the Kalingas and Apayaos of the Cordilleras, the Dumagat people, the Lumads and Kalagans of Mindanao, the Muslim brethren, the Badjaos, as well as others unmentioned? They were never conquered by the Spaniards. How would you classify them since they are not predominantly influenced by the empire of Spain nor the Viceroyalty of Mexico? Why do you think there is a movement in changing the name of the Philippines as a country? Because the current name does not represent the collective people as a whole. It only represent the culture of the majority of people who control the government. Philippines is a western concept: Derived from the name of the king of Spain during conquest with the spelling changed by the Americans during their regime to indicate what they desire-the hardwood trees for the expansion of the American naval power (trees = pines). Just so you know.

Physically Pacific Islander lol. They are NOT!

Yep, the Japanese are also Pacific Islanders by your definition.

PREACH! You speak the truth! The Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos started this myth of Spanish ancestry. Unlike the Americas where many of us have direct and legitimate ancestry.

@@alexisarrizon6083 Hhahahah, your statement is bold and factual. More Spaniards went to the New World due to trade and proximity of location. The populations of Spanish who settled in the Philippines was smaller, esp. given the distance. The mestizos in the Philippines today are not directly descended from Spanish as the Spanish back in the day married among their own kind and were tribal and conscious in who they married. In the US and Latin America, our ratio of Spanish ancestry is extremely higher and very well known and documented. Also, unlike the Americas, in 1849 the Philippine Gov't used a book, el Catalogo Alfabeitco de Appellidos, which has upended the myth the most Filipinos have Spanish ancestry but rather their surnames were selected or designated from this book and to families for tax purposes. I've met so many Filipino's who say they are Spanish and claim ancestry but every time I get to asking about their genealogies the stories seem to veer off like, "I gotta go, or I have a call". Very little proof except for a last name. Also, unlike other Asian nations, the Philippines is literally the only country that in order to get a job, whiteness is a value and or to be visibly culturally mixed is a benefit. Throughout the rest of Asia, it's something that is an embarrassment.

Tf? We don't consider ourselves latino lol filipinos are just hispanic not latino! Brazilian are latinos but not hispanic because they have different culture.

(I'm pretty sure there's still a lot but this would take a whole hour to type and I don't have the time nor will) It makes sense for most of us to be tan/brown as we're at the Equator. We're literally the ones who gets the most sun. That's just it with the skin color thing.

@Hakuna Matata No Worries (hakuna matata)

If you’ve forgotten your heritage, yes. We are Asian!

Confused and others are just in denial.

Filipino look asian, but the actress and media are mixed

In the US, their social security form has a tick box for race. That's why it's an issue to them. And some Filipinos in the past were made to claim that they were Pacific Islanders and not Asians in these tick boxes. It's not an issue of our identity. It's an issue which arose out of their obsession for racial profiling.

Because the American point of view is limited. They don’t see that Asia has a multitude of cultures and people. And simply calling everybody Asian is oversimplified. While just using Asians to refer to Chinese, Japanese and Koreans is misleading. Filipinos, racially are Malay. You can see the similarities with Indonesians and Malaysians both in looks and the language. We have nearly nothing in common with Polynesians which is what the term Pacific Islander seem to be referring to.

tru everything becomes trickier

King Jay it's not that hard really, just look in a mirror and you can tell what race you are. Majority of filipinos look like a mix of chinese, japanese and southeast asian countries. I'll give you 1m pesos if you can find someone looking like a Spanish and Hawaiian in metro manila.

Ahhhh, HELLOOO...EXCUSE ME...as your comment, as you may say, doesn’t make any fucking sense at all...”Many filipinos who are living in the Philippines...” are you fucking kidding me, brah...of course, filipinos are the PHILIPPINES...just like you’re saying, like...”Many Japanese who are living in Japan,” HOW STUPID COMMENT THAT IS, YAH...like, “Many Americans who are living in the U.S.,” 😂😂😂😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬

I'm not really sure of the facts but i think it's because of colonial mentality. A lot of people don't like being ya know asian and so they want to be more like countries from the west in terms of identity. It's kinda sad but i guess that's what happens when a country has been ruled over by people who tried to instill how glorious the west is for around three centuries

@@stevenliang3213 No, Pinoys aren't hispanic. The term Hispanic refers to a person of a spanish speaking country. So our names, the name of our country, the years we spent under the Spaniards and our religion doesn't mean anything.

@@stevenliang3213 "Influenced" is the right term, not "hispanic".

Glydel Alcantara : Hispanic is a culture, not a race. It’s any country that is relating to Spanish influence (doesn’t have to be Spanish speaking). FYI, Spanish was the official language of The Philippines for more than 3 centuries at one point. It’s possible to be Hispanic and Asian at the same time. Filipinos are just not conventional Hispanic nor conventional Asian. That’s all.

True. Mostly kids in the US think they are Pacific islanders.

It’s a category they made you choose on forms. But Filipinos are scattered from Hawaii to Guam. So yes they are of oriental origin. Depends on how white washed they get in the US. Some married a lot of Caucasian or Hispanic partners and some married Asians cuz they are modern that way and they loved their fellow Asian’s culture and food heritage.

I am a Pilipino, and I am laughing at you right now for confusing Filipino and Pilipino.

I was never laughed everytime I tell my classmates that I consider myself a Pacific Islander. It's brave enough to state that because I know my ancestry. Why do I consider myself a Pacific Islander? Our family is known for being Voyagers. We basically live and still practice the primitive way of living. We sail the seas to see different Ethnic tribes to help. We prefer to roam the waters and the mountains than the cities. My ethnicity are Aeta, Indonesian and Hispanic. When I was in New Zealand, I was even ask if I am a Maori. As a Filipino, considering yourself whether you are Asian, Hispanic or Pacific Islander depends on how your family let you see who you are. Most of Filipinos telling they are Asian and Hispanic are from the cities. Some Filipinos calling themselves Pacific Islanders are mostly from remote and rural areas.

Filipinos worldwide don't say they are Pacific Islanders. Only Filipino Americans claim to be Pacific Islanders. Fil-Ams have no logic to it either. The Fil-Ams will say, that they have the same ancestry as Pacific Islanders, so Filipinos are Pacific Islanders. Ask the Fil-Ams if Malagasy people (Madagascar located in the Indian Ocean) or Indigenous Taiwanese people are Pacific Islanders and Fil-Ams will say no. Yet, they all have the same Austronesian ancestry also. What is more insane, is Fil-Ams will claim Filipino languages are closely related to the Oceanic languages like Hawaiian or Maori, but won't admit Indonesian and Malay are closer when asked. Fil-Ams claim that their writing system uses the Latin alphabet, which is used by Pacific Islanders, thus they are Pacific Islanders. The Fil-Ams ignore the fact, the writing system is European to begin with and adopted by many non-European countries. Fil-Ams won't acknowledge the Baybayin script used before Europeans arrived. Baybayin just like Kulitan, Javanese, Sundanese and other scripts were derived from the Brahmic script from South ASIA. Being Asian is a great thing. The Fil-Ams attempt to hijack Pacific Islanders culture is disgusting.

They are AETAs

So fucking true. The Aetas are the most discriminated ethnic group in the Phils. and it's just sad...

similar to the black japanese, Ainu...

Ali Abu-Talib they aren’t technically black as in African black their ethnic origin is from South East Asia and they share more genetic similarities with eastern asians

Canada Top Goons no their black but black isn’t a one size fit all. Every other race comes from black that’s genetic facts not an opinion that’s why you can find blackish looking people almost anywhere in the world but you can’t do the same with the other races

Why, of course.

Yeah, it's a fil-am bullshit, just like what they propose to change Filipinos to "Filipinx"

That’s correct, Filipinos are ASIANS and not Pacific Islanders otherwise the Japanese will get mad and will commit second wave of KAMIKAZE attack ( hold my SAKE) since their country is located also on the west side of the Pacific Ocean!! (to be considered Pacific Islanders also if you may!!(so is Taiwan 🇹🇼) The exotic beauty of the Philippines 🇵🇭 is the main reason why so many different people around the world being attracted causing the destruction of her true identity, culture and heritage as well!!

Same happens to Mexican Americans and Mexico is next door In the US race MATTERS A LOT More than anywhere else in the world, so they try to profile everything based on “race

American system love to classify things

I am Filipino American, and I can explain some things about this identify crisis. When Filipinos immigrate to the US, they often end up in very diverse areas with whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc. 1) of those groups, Hispanics are most like Filipinos culturally. I went to a catholic school, and Hispanics were at school, at the church, there were no Koreans or Chinese there. Our names we’re the same as the Mexicans. We even liked boxing. The Chinese and Koreans often keepnto themselves and are quiet. Hispanic people and filipinos share way more in common in almost every aspect compared to Chinese or Koreans. Even by looks. Most Chinese and Koreans were light skinned and many Filipinos often look like indigenous Mexican Indians, and vice versa: many Mexicans could pass for Filipino if they wanted. 2) when filling out forms your race is often asked. Usually there is white, black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian and pacific islander. It’s actually kid of confusing as Filipinos because yes we are indeed on an island in the pacific! Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese obviously don’t come from islands but we do. You often fill out forms from a young age, and it never gets properly explained to you, so in my younger years I often checked Pacific Islander sometimes. Because in my mind, an asian was Chinese or Korean . If anything I looked more like a Hawaiian than a Korean and they were Pacific Islanders and I came from a pacific island, so wouldn’t I be a Pacific Islander?

Wavemaker The question comes not from living in the states, it comes from being occupied by Spain for 300 years

The Asian Theory, Spain indeed occupied the Philippines for 300 years but the identity of the Philippines and the Filipinos never changed. The Indians didn't have identity crisis just because the Brits occupied their country. So is Indonesia which was occupied by the Dutch. Anyway, I'm sharing a video with you about the history of the Philippines way before the Spaniards arrived. You can continue watching the other videos after that. The history of the Philippines is very rich! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5qohM-HtNO2m5s.html

Exactly. Just tired of people get confused to our ethnicity and then when we till you what we are then those people get butthurt and cries we are Asian. Yeah we are asian nobody's claimining were not..

Wavemaker Exactly. I once had a long discussion over this because the person was trying to change historical narrative by claiming ALL Filipinos spoke primarily Spanish until the US arrived. Even in their household. Stating, “ your great grandmother spoke Spanish, not Tagalog, Bisayan, etc.”. Pretty much trying to poison young minds with false information based on select and very eurocentric written books written by ( drumroll ) Europeans!

@It's my way or the Highway 1968 because spain enslaved us and forced us into their culture

Plain and simple. Dont know why theres so much confusion.

@@adrianr4095 Well the thing is, Spanish Colonized both Philippines and Mexico, so that’s why people always consider us the “Mexicans of Asia”

@@antoineking13116 the spanish colonized like 12 different countries. Not to mention the southwestern portion of the US. Plus mexico isnt even an island.

Wow I felt this comment, but even though I'm only half, I still consider that half to be Asian over pacific islander.

Yep, most likely...

Was raised in America from the age of 5 but I still consider myself as Asian (even though people are like “But they’re Pacific Islanders”)

hi that’s me

@@Tofuadoboprincess just consider yourself half-Pinoy. As simple as that 😁

Not even Negrito lol. Majority of them are just Austronesians, just like Malaysians and Indonesians. Filipinos are as South East Asian as you can get lmfao

There are more Ainu people in Japan than Negritos in the Philippines.

@@monotonespeaker8347 For the longest time, I believed Philippines as a diverse peoples. They are literally mostly just Austronesians.

They get confused bc they want to find out about who they truly are & where they come from. Filipino’s are Filipino’s, it doesn’t matter if they live in America or not. We are all Filipino’s we just live in different areas that make us think differently, no thinking is better than the other. From my experience in the U.S., my Filipino friends are all about decolonizing themselves from the colonization of Spaniards & educating themselves about indigenous Filipino’s. & I’m pretty sure Filipino’s in America know they’re Asian.

they're not wrong either tho. we were colonized by spaniards for a long time so it's just right for us to be hispanic. geographically speaking, we're asians. before we were asians, we were called as pacific islanders, infact our country's name was "the philippine islands of pacific".

YUP.

Are you sure the Filipina that you've met is not a "gold digger?"

Have you read what is the definition of hispanic? It's not about the race or ethnicity it is all about culture and previous colony of spain. But yeah i myself i don't consider myself hispanic coz we are ASIAN!! southeast Asian to be exact. Although Philippines share alot of similarities like culture and norms to the other spanish colony.and i hope that the "MINORITY" who say that they're Hispanic could also say that they are asian.

It's not about the language. It's about the culture. Filipinos share a very similar culture to Spanish people because of colonialism

Don't allowed anyone to take away our identity. Why don't invite your friend here and they can see for themselves that even we're small millions of people lived here. Phillipines is archipelago. Not an island but a group of islands. We are asian by blood by race although there are a mix of race. By culture and by our country like the Indo's and malays..

Thanks for the support guys!

The thing called archipelago exists😁 Btw Filipino girl here

I agree with you , partly

Filipinos have links with Pacific islanders "Polynesian & Micronesian " We are people in the Pacific Islander even to Haawai most of our DNA is Austronesian descent which is closely related to Filipinos population 23andme can be better received than others. category is usually seen from past history, ancestors and so on. I think the Filipinos is grouped with other Austronesian populations because there is a link in the population .we can see like Indonesian looks different grouped with the mainland se asian population because there is a link between Indonesian and the population in mainland asian . now let's look at a graphic example of people from philippines, thailand, guam, indonesia, madagascar and vietnam everything will definitely be genetically different but the philippines are certainly closer to the Austronesian population lets see chart below 23andme Filipinos ( Austronesian ) : i.redd.it/7gdq46knxlr31.png 23andme Thais : i.imgur.com/6duMBWq.png 23andme Indonesian : i.redd.it/hehys4pfcev21.jpg 23andme Guam people ( Austronesian ) : i.redd.it/kbul0deqic931.jpg 23andme Madagascar/Malagasy ( Austronesian ) : external-preview.redd.it/zDZ6EiUuZ7SpF-Z9OEdcmUJGr_E3nM9jDsdhdOPDcO4.jpg?auto=webp&s=cbab7c55c92f12440ad1399f1c6f8ee3613e80fd 23andme Vietnamese : i.redd.it/jsjocfr5oz731.jpg

uhmm mestizos only makes up maybe about 2% of the entire filipino population. we are more chinito than mestizo, many filipinos have Chinese ancestry. but the rest are pure filipino of malay origin. filipinos are in the same group as malaysians, indonesians, thailand : malay blood. the culture is hispanic but not our blood. the reason for the spanish last names is because we are forced to add it not because we are mixed. please stop spreading misinformation

People keep forgetting that there are only tendencies for a certain group of people (under a nationality) to identify as anything else but their Nationality, especially Filipinos! Us Filipinos tend to share the term "Filipino" because We are just that, Filipino. It doesn't depend at all on your ethnicity or ethnic group because the Filipino identity is quite versatile, going from Southern Chinese traders assimilating in, to Spanish people marrying the locals, to Americans marrying with the locals, etc... All that matters is they assimilate and will identify as Filipino, and that's how We are now. We are very much a mix of people from different ethnic groups, to many foreigners it may seem that We are mostly of malayo-polynesian stock or even Austronesian most of the time (Austronesian does not immediately mean coming from Australia or being an Australian Aborigine, which many people mistake it for.). Meaning, darker-skinned, shorter stature, etc... But then again, that's just one portion of the current ethnic groups that lie in The Philippines, sure you could observe that they (The Austronesians and Malayo-Polynesians or Melanesians) were the first to land, but they can't dismiss the fact that many other ethnicities assimilate very well into Filipino culture, specifically East Asians(Mostly-Chinese) ethnic groups are notable. We can't be labeled as "Hispanic" or even "Western" or "Pacific Islander.", The nation is situated in Southeast Asia, and arguably We are a weak example of a "Pacific Islander" nation, We are not in Oceania, We are in southeast asia, exactly. End of story indeed.

@Arroz Solo Many "Filipinos" can classify with any ethnicity, but! If they for example, born in The Philippines, born to Filipino parents who are most-likely not recent immigrants from europe, etc.. Just because they feel white doesn't mean they're white, yeah those people are quite delusional. Some Filipinos who are literally "White" (referring to the ethnic background) in blood can be white, but those who aren't that, would be delusional to try and call themselves white, just because the Philippines was heavily colonized by Spain or something, which isn't a valid argument to call yourself "White" just by that alone. I'd rather just leave that person alone and wait for them to get some sense. It's a stronger argument for that Filipino person to call themselves East Asian or even from Oceania in direct ethnic background rather than straight-up claiming they're White just because of a long history that doesn't directly correlate with that person being "White" or "Spanish".

Exactly

Lol mostly Filipinos have double eyelids and have that big eyes, don't say “We have small eyes” (speak for yourself) just say “i have small eyes”, and Vietnamese are mostly look Chinese especially in the north, same in Thailand (North Thailand), and also what do you mean about "Speak like Asian"? 😭 Lmao Asian is not a language is JUST A CONTINENT, Yes Filipinos are definitely ASIAN cause it's located in Asia, but we look different to those Asian peope that usually people think that the only Asian are those from East Asia (China, Japan, Korea)

@@neiltaculod especially when your family is government related for so long

It all started in cross breeding of Mexicans and natives during the Manila-Acapulco Galeon trade. Also the Spanish occupation where a lot of Spanish-Mexican soldiers were assigned to numerous towns in the whole country.

Totally they forgot about the southeast asian. They don't look like your typical asian.

@Latin American is there really a need for profanity? they didnt state that russians ARE asian. they said, "GEOGRAPHICALLY, so are russians." they were speaking in terms of where russia is located since it's next to china and other countries in midwest southwest, etc. asia.

You are asian but not native Filipino I may say, same as American but not native American you know what I mean? Because of all the mixed.

"why cant people these days embrace their culture or race?" are you kidding? That is all people do these days is try to find ways to label themselves.

Panic!500 as a born Costa Rican who was raised in the US since age 4 I consider myself an American, my life, wife, children are from here and I am also a US Marine, can’t get more American than that !!!!

Filipino isn’t actually a ethnicity, Philippines is pretty diverse too many mix raced. Our culture is like mix too (asian, hispanic, pacific islander, etc) and I think that is very filipino or at least what makes us filipino. I myself is born in the Philippines but, my dads family side looks very asian because of the eyes and they also look Polynesian at the same because of their nose and my mum has Spanish blood, she looks nothing like filipino in her teens.
