can't believe this thread is till going around.
Aren't Filipinos And Mexicans The Same ****ing Thing?

existed long before Cortés went on a miltary ass-raping around some lakeside real estate. Quiroga's social-engineering attempts to relocate entire peoples
aside, much of your ancestors' other indigenous (read: Pre Spanish) linguistic
legacy survives to this day.
Mexico got Hernan Cortés, who was a bloodthirsty mother****er, and by God,
what Spain did to native Mexicans over the first 250 years was ghastly ****.
Present-day Peru, etc. got Pizarro, and he was an even worse-tempered *****.
The Philippines? We got Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, who was the gentlest
conquistador Spain ever produced. In fact, it was the past brutality of Cortés
and Pizarro that mostly led Felipe II to write instructions to Legazpi, to treat
Filipinos with respect --maybe it tickled his vanity that our archipelago had
been named after him. That royal policy of kid-gloves restrained our
colonizers for a fair bit of time, and is a huge reason why Filipinos today
still speak Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilokano, and other indigenous languages.
We got off relatively easy because Mexicans and Peruvians suffered so badly,
that it shamed the Spanish crown.
Guess where Legazpi (originally a Basque) lived, when he got the call to
colonize the Philippines? That cat was a Mexican. I mean, sure, it was then
the Virreinato de Nueva España, but same place and mostly the same blood
and culture today.
There is no Philippines without a Mexico. Period.
There is no pureblooded "indigenous" people either,
because we all can trace ancestry back to a genetic Adam and Eve.
I laugh at all this "our women are hotter" bull****, and I suspect most of the
dumb ****s starting such smack have never gotten anywhere seriously near
a hot woman, Filipina, Mexicana or otherwise.
