What is Filipino?

A Filipino is a nationality. A nationality consisting of the different ethnicities of Philippines. Many of these ethnicities (a strong 95%-97%)trace their roots to the Austronesian people who immigrated out of Southern China into Taiwan as the Northern Mandarin ethnicity became the dominant culture of China.

The Austronesian people travelled well through out the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea) and many who have settled through out began migrating back-and-forth within the region and also back to mainland Asia. The varied migrations between the Malay Archepelago and the mainland created very ethnically mixed cultures through out the region (And this is before the Europeans came) which is why Filipinos and other "Malays" don't have a consistant racial appearance as opposed to the Chinese and those who are Pacific Islanders(who are in fact of the same blood but not mixed)

The Defining point between Pacific Islanders and Filipinos comes to the fact that once the Austronesian people reached Polynesia they lost all ties to Mainland Asia, unlike the cultures of the Malay Archipelago who would eventually intermix with many of the people of Southern China and Indo-China. Both of these cultures technically are Asian, but the ethnicities are divided by cultural connections with the mainland.

When it comes to the hispanicization of the Philippines, one has to realize that only a small minority of Filipinos actually have Spanish Blood. A Stanford Study has shown only 3% of Filipinos are actually mixed with either Chinese and/or Spanish blood. Much like African Slaves in Colonial America, who received "Christian" Anglo-Saxon/Scots Irish/Irish Protestant names. Filipinos Recieved "Christian" Spanish names and prayed to a white Jesus much like every one else in the world who fell victim to colonialism.

The Colonial Mentality is very much apparent in the Filipino culture, where many will lie about the background claiming their Spanish roots when in fact they probably bleached their skin and got plastic surgery on their nose. The Filipino Media adds on to the stigma against being brown by inundating the T.V. Screen and billboards of the city with White Meztiso Images.

"They say we beat the European Imperialist and yet all you see are white faces on the T.V. Screen."
^something to think about for all my Filipino brothers and sisters.

Filipino - what does it mean?

A race of people hailing from the Southeast Asian islands known as the Philippines who, for lack of a properly funded military, intend to conquer the world by exporting all its nannies, maids, nurses, and other bottom-of-the-ladder laborers to indoctrinate and convert other inferior races into the glory and majesty that is the concept of a second serving of rice.

Lately, they are found all over the internet posting extremely butthurt comments and replies on blogs, videos, and articles that puts the Philippines and Filipinos - or any Filipino - in a negative context. More specifically, comedy sites like urbandictionary.com.

That sheikh's son's nanny is a Filipino. We can tell because of all the pork he says he doesn't eat.

This is a response to qiuwp's definition

1.SOME filipino's are lazy. (Assuming your american) The morbid obesity in your nation is worse than about 7% of filipino's being lazy

2. We don't think ALL foreigners are rich

3.If you think our language is annoying, listen to that "slang" crap and see what's more annoying

4.Filipino women marry old people because they actually have feelings for 'em. It's unlikely for there to be more divorces in the philippines than in the U.S.

5.It's not our fault we're poor, blame the government. We don't think we're better than other asian countries. You're just a stereotypical 12 year old whose mom is as stupid as Jar Jar Binks

6. There are more people dropping out of school in america than in the philippines. Sure, we have alot of fun, but we put it in the right place and the right time

7. If UP ain't the one of the best universities in the world, why do alot of koreans/chinese people come here to study?

8. Yeah, were short, so what?

Filipino - definition

(Regardless if this can be applied to other races, this is emphasizing Filipinos...or at least most of them, anyway. This is coming from a Filipino.)

A race that LOVES to shove their race in anything, to anybody, whenever, and where ever, because "lol pinoy pride :D !!111111!!" Their prideful arrogance is strong, but their defense is weak. Their intolerance is almost identical to black people when they get offended. You know how there are a lot users on YouTube that say, "If you don't have anything 'positive' to say, then don't say it.?" Their sensitivity makes them close-minded. They don't have any reasons to defend themselves other than saying, "wow ur so mean!!! u don't kno pilipinos. pilipino pride!!111 we strong! we're not the only ones who can be like this!"

They can take the time to acknowledge the good factors of their race, but they're too sensitive to ever realize what they can do to be more tolerable in a civilization. That's where me and many others come in to bitch about my race. They never act as individuals, they act as a body of people who may never realize that race or family may not mean a thing. When they do realize that so many people of their race is shit, they'll just be ranted at by another Filipino who may say, "wow then ur saying tht ur bad when u say bein pinoy is bad. be ashamed of urself. ur probably not even filipino...gaga"

A: "I hate being Filipino."
B: "wow ur hating urself then. im filipino too. ur probably a white troll. very funny..."
A: "I'm not hating myself if pride in race doesn't truly express who I am."
B: "no just shut up faggot"

Filipino - slang

A unisex term referring to a person or persons of ethnic descent originating from the Republic of the Philippines.

Pilipino refers to a person born in the Philippines. Filipino refers to a person not born in the Philippines, but of Philippine ethnicity.

This delineation is due to the fact that there is no phonetic equivalent of the letter 'F' in any of the Philippine Islands’ indigenous languages. Spaniards who named the Philippine Islands after King Phillip II (Las Islas Filipinas) had such a sound in their language. The closest phonetic sound inhabitants in the Philippines could use was β€˜P.’

Hence, people Philippine-born refer to themselves as Pilipino (they even write it as β€˜Pilipino’), while those born outside the Philippines (e.g. the United States) refer to themselves as Filipino (or Filipino-American in the above case).

Filipino

Example 1:
My dad was born in the Philippines; he’s Pilipino. I was born in Rampart, California; I’m Filipino-American.

Example 2:

Person 1: What’s your nationality?
Person 2: Full-Blooded American.
Person 1: No, where’re you from?
Person 2: West Covina, California.
Person 1: No, I mean, where’re your parents from?
Person 2: Oh – the Philippines.
Person 1: Oh so they’re Filipino.
Person 2: No, They’re Pilipino.
Person 1: That’s what I said: Filipino.
Person 2: No, my parents are Pilipino. And I’m Filipino-American.
Person 1: …?

Filipinos are amazing people. My girlfriend is Filipino. They have ridiculously delicious food, even though alot of it is really unhealthy. Their language (Tagalog) is one of the more interesting Asian languages, and I am currently trying to learn it. They are good people with good morals. If Filipinos like you, they like you like family. Unconditional love and very caring. English with a Filipino accent is so cool to listen to. Filipinos are beautiful people, generally having dark hair, large foreheads that symbolize great intelligence and personality, very angular and refined features with high cheek bones. I have a Filipina aunt who is smart, funny, and very nice (traits shared by most Filipinos)

Lumpia and Pancit bihon are amazing Filipino foods.

Filipinos are kind and accepting.

Tagalog is a language that rivals my own native language of Greek.

Greeks love Filipinos, because both races are hella awesome
