No worries. You're technically Asian Filipino brah. I don't know why people think Filipinos are Hispanic when they don't speak Spanish at all

Filipinos used to speak Spanish... It was only in the 1960's where there was a social/political revolution that Spanish as an official language in the Philippines was abolished... Before that, especially before the Philippine/American War, Spanish was THE official language that was mandatory for every FILIPINO...

But as I said in my last post our fathers and grandfathers NEVER gave up or lost the ties that bonded our people through generations... We rebelled in every single sense so that Filipinos can retain our own identity... Unlike the Carribs or the Tianos that were engulfed by Spanish culture, we Filipinos remained and fought toothe and nail so that our own identity could be preserved... If we didnt then we truly be hispanic or latino, but thank our ancestors we are not...

there were african and caribbean countries that fought off colonization. but much of the world was colonized by europe, including asia. hitler invading france, poland, britian, etc. and leaving their economies in shambles started the end of colonization in some parts. i don't know about the philipine part of asia, but for indochina after wwII the growing nationalism and similar tactics that insurgents in iraq are doing shut the door on their colonization.

Well we Filipinos are not hispanif for sure. But little part in the Philippines speak chavacano.. Its in zamboanga city, mindanao. its a Creole Spanish spoken in the Philippines. Broken spanish in short. But we are not hispanic. We are proud to be Filipinos..

europe had began to colonize much of the world during the 1800's.

europe began colonizing much of the world hundreds of years earlier than that.

Hehe, you're talking to a History Major here brother. Spain ceded the Philippines to the U.S. in 1898 with the Treaty of Paris and then the U.S. governed it until its independence in 1948. Only 3.8% of all Filipinos have any European ancestry and Spanish was only mandatory for Government positions, but most government officials were from Spain anyway. Filipinos are not at all Hispanic. They are mostly descended from Taiwanese aborigines.

Hispanic countries like Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba have at least 50% or higher rate of Spanish descendant blood lines.

There are many families in the Philippines that not only speak Spanish but still have ties to Spain... They are mostly the aristoc**** like the Ayalas, Roxas, Zobels, etc... They marry their own kind and even marry their own family in order to keep wealth intact and keep their Spaniard appearance...

Does Jaime Ayala look "filipino" to you?
