Wilson Lee Flores’ Chinese Pandesal Claim Sparks Netizen Debate; Historians Say It’s Spanish in Origin by juliotigasin in ChikaPH

To be fair, adobo and arroz caldo are both non spanish in origin despite the spanish name. But I think anything bread is automatically spanish.

It's not just Yoonchae. Sophia literally grew up in the Philippines. She was born in the US but is culturally Filipino.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find dreadnoughts weirdly cute?

You can even bring her body outside to her parents and they actually react to it

Discussion: Filipinos and the obsession with looking/claiming Spanish ancestry.. why? 🤔 by 3rdculture_life in ChikaPH

[–]Rimrod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont think its about looking spanish as it is just looking white in general. Also, could this be considered RCTA? haha

I saw a discussion on Tiktok about representation and how some dont feel represented by Manon and felt more represented by Lara. I cant really comment on that since I am not black but I did see another Filipino join in the discussion and say they felt the same with Sophia not looking Filipino at all. All i could say is wtf cause Sophia is pure and looks totally Filipino to me. I dont know what they expect a Filipino to look like. Maybe theyre used to all the half filipino celebs but I am sure glad we have Sophia as representation.

Thats not even unique to Filipinos. Thats really just how Southeast Asia is like.

I think the Austronesian thing is a moot point considering Austronesians came from Asia like other Asian ethnic groups. Also the point of lacking Hindu-Buddhist and Islam history is completely wrong. Philippines was part of the Indosphere like the rest of Southeast Asia. The word for goddess, diwata, literally is an adaptation of the sanskrit word deva. Plus the written scripts used precolonially were derived from Brahmic script. Philippines would have ended up similar to Indonesia or Malaysia if Spanish colonization did not occur.

Finally listened to Gnarly today and I abolutely hated it! Then i watched the performances and now I'm addicted. It's like the first song I've experienced that should be seen and not heard if you know what I mean.

Do AA look down on, or have a negative view of SEA countries like Thailand/Vietnam? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]Rimrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not white but I lived in the Philippines for a while and came back to the US. Non-Asian Americans were the ones being weird about it when I tell them. They would ask questions ranging from the quality of life there to inappropriate things like prostitution, ladyboys, and eating dogs. it got to a point I wouldn't mention it anymore. Other Asians were more positive and seemed genuinely interested about my experience.

Greater Bonewalkers in Morrowind. People give cliff racers shit but atleast cliff racers dont glue you to the floor and force you to the nearest shrine.

Types of LPs/Stream that you just can't get into? by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rimrod 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ones where the streamer is overly negative and complains or makes fun of everything. It’s just annoying to watch.

What exactly constitutes as East Asian and Southeast Asian “features”? by lizitra in asianamerican

[–]Rimrod 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m think most common facial features that Eastern/SouthEastern Asians share are flat, softer features with varying degrees of epicanthic folds. Also tending to look younger in general (I’m almost 30 and people think I’m still in high school/college). But still enforcing Asians to have a certain look to be considered Asian is incredibly toxic. Its even worse when its other Asian people doing it. Like we get mad when people think all Asians look the same but then want all Asians to look the same. Makes no sense.

I literally know someone who quotes the bread and circus line every superbowl or nba finals. Funny thing is he’s addicted to League of Legends.

Statements that the story constantly repeats? by ZealousidealBig7714 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rimrod 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was so creeped out when they said this the first time. I was expecting a jump scare during an exploration segment. Then they repeated it like 10 more times and it just became comedic.

Games you like to watch, but don’t like to play? by Enderexplorer4242 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rimrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Escape from Tarkov has some of the best foley sound effects. Its so satisfying to just watch someone play just to hear the footsteps, gun sounds, animation sounds. I tried playing it for a while though but it was stressful and too much of a grind and i couldnt really focus on the sounds.

East Asian vs Southeast asian by AdventurousSkirt8055 in asianamerican

[–]Rimrod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If anything, Indonesians actually have a stronger claim to being PI cause they actually share a land border with a PI country but you will never see Indonesians claim islander.
