She isn't latina!?!?!?


Wow .. I figured the name "Rodrigo" meant she is Latina

Her father is Filipino. Her mother is a white lady

I thought she was Mexican or something

Ah, but does she identify as Latina? We all know that's what counts!

Who gives a flying fuck other than racists?

So it's racist to comment about what ethnicity someone looks like now???

reply

😂 you seem racist to me. You could have said her mother is Caucasian like you said her father is Filipino. Instead you want to describe her as a white lady.

reply

Your whole post is racist.

You would know with a last name of burg.

What would I know?
That's you're an ignorant ass?
Yes. I know.

The Philippines were colonized by the same Spaniards who colonized Latin America, so presumably Filipinos are just as Latin as anyone from Latin America

reply

Nah - they are definitely Asian - but some are mixed with Hispanics. It is odd though - despite being and looking Asian, and I've been to PH on many occasions, most of them do have hispanic last names. I wonder if during colonization, all newborns were mandated to switch their first and last names to hispanic? Alternatively, Spaniards mixed in with a lot of locals - but because the colonization ended a long while ago, Asian genes re-emerged as the most dominant ones, thus while the last names remained, they still look Asian.
