they have spanish names and they look like mexicans and they're the same height as mexicans and then they move here and they start acting like mexicans and how the fuck am I supposed to know they're not mexican

Probably should be called Pacific Islanders desu. They're next to Palau!

they're hispanic, which in my mind means they're western, even if some oriental-occidental fusion

um

>hispanic
>western

Linguistically and genetically they are Southeast Asian.

But culturally they are Spanish. It would be an insult to the Pacific Islanders to group them with them

>spain
>not western
btw muslims and other easterners consider Latin America western

How are Hispanic not Western.

Hispanic= relating to Spain and Spanish culture

>how the fuck am I supposed to know they're not mexican
mexicans came here via spanish traders so.. we're probably part mexican.

We're Asian, just not the ones you wish we would be.

Oceanic people.

Now you know what it's like living next to Mexico, Japan

>next
americunt education

Genetically they are asians. And also speak an asian language

mexicans are 50% euro on avarege and speak spanish
flips are 0.001% at best spanish and dont speak spanish

Genetically they are a little closer to East Asians than to other South-east Asians (I'm being serious here)
Religiously they are 80% catholic; 90% christian
Linguistically they're basically Malayo-Polynesian (which is part of the bigger Austronesian family), the official languages at the national level are English (which is spoken by half of the population more or less) and Filipino, Spanish also has kind of like a special status but is not really spoken anymore, especially after Philippines became an American colony in 1898-1902, it cannot even be used in education in primary schools which is a position that quite a few Filipino languages have, it was estimated that in the 1950's around 6% of the population could speak Spanish but nowadays the number is closer to 3%

While the Philippines were Spanish (over 300 years) the International Date Line was to their west

This is why I never call people "Asian".
I call them "East Asian" or "Jungle Asian". Vietnam straddles the fence between the two.

>narrow eyes
>flat noses
>yellow
Ye seems 'bout right to call them asian

I find it hard to believe that Flips are genetically closer to East Asians than Viets.

>education in primary schools which is a position that quite a few Filipino languages have
currently 19 languages (besides from Filipino and English) are used as medium of instruction from Kinder up to Grade 3

>Linguistically and genetically they are Southeast Asian.
Not Indochinese. Thais and Vietnamese are completely separate categories from Javanese and Flips.

We are most definitely Asian.

Thais still have poojeet culture though.

>india isn't asia
sasuga amerifarce

>English (which is spoken by half of the population more or less
I'm sorry it's actually two thirds more or less

This thread is clearly talking about whether a cunt gets to be grouped with the slants or not.

>narrow eyes
>yellow
this meme, most people here are brown and not many are slant-eyed.

yes

No. Thais are completely separate from poo culture.

>pooptugal

Many of them unironically wish they have yellow skin and slant eyes.

Philipines is the Mexico of Asia.

Mexico is the Philippines of North America
*wink*

Kys

What makes us not Asian then?

I'd prefer friendly and laid-back Filipinos over sadistic, xenophobic and genocidal Japs any day.

Bump, waiting for an intelligent answer from the 120+ IQ Asian masterrace.

The Philippines are honestly just something unique.
They're pretty much hispanic on the surface, but the core culture is distinctively asian (conservative, hierarchical, collectivist) and they pretend to be western.

You're Spanish turd.
