Heeeey...what'ya-know.....they let us Pinoys join the Asian club. Being tagged Asian......I don't really know how to feel about it when people make it a point of debate. But when I'm asked of my ethnicity I do just say Asian out of convenience. Should I clarify and say Southeast Asian? Or how about those times when the only other available option is Pacific Islander?.....which I do select when that's the case....maybe that's more accurate, since we're as brown as the Hawaiians (generally, I mean, I myself am not that dark skinned). I can't blame the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese for complaining....I mean our skin generally isn't as light as theirs and our ancestry really goes back to the tribal Negritos (really dark-skinned folks). But with so many years of colonization by the Spanish, Japanese, French, and American people, we're basically mutts, mixed, or whatever.Why am I even having this discussion? ....hmmmm....I guess I just had time to spare :).
Have a good one.....and if you're Asian, have a good one, buddy :)
