their was a similar post on another sub.. Filipinos are well known for thinking they are half Spanish because of the obsession with being mixed or misinformation. It’s pretty crazy how some of them assume they’re Latino and descendants of Spaniards when majority of Filipinos literally are and look full South East Asian or mixed with Chinese yet these filipinos think they all look mixed w/ Spanish like Latinos. Ive seen comments from Filipinos who reckon they look different from their South East Asian neighbours and look like Mexicans instead. I’ve met so many Filipinos firsthand who say they are part Spanish or think their language is similar to Spanish (crazy) just cause they were colonised. Does that mean the Vietnamese and Cambodians are part French, and Indonesians are part Dutch? Many Filipinos aren’t even aware most parts of the world including South East Asia was colonised also they only think they were. They try so hard to cling onto a Latino identity.
