Filipinos are people from the Philippines who are HELL AWESOME. maybe were not a super rich country but we love our country a LOT. and i LOVE the food in the philippines it taste AMAZING!!! :D and the places here like palawan, boracay are really nice, and very relaxing. Filipino are super "bait"(kind). They will always help you. I have Filipino friends and they tell jokes and try to make you smile when you couldn't. Sometimes we speak tanglish, and its fun. Its like reflex to speak tanglish. Filipinos are just normal people who are fucking awesome and are the best. Who the fuck cares if Filipinos are short? or brown. Filipinos are just as good as any of you people.

(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"

An awesome human being who shares a culture that is both similar to the Spaniards who colonized them and the east asians such as chinese, korean...etc with whom they share a continent. Filipinos are usually warm-hearted, talkative and family-oriented. Among other arts, they've developed a very cool martial art called eskrima.

American pinoys are one of the smaller minorities. Filipinos in america may adapt completely to the american lifestyle, but keep some traditions and continue to make dishes such as chicken adobo for their american-born kids.

It is not unusual for Filipinos to work in the medical field as doctors, nurses and pharmacists (probably because they are as intelligent as they are caring). It's also not unusual for filipinos to be skilled in boxing, street fighting and various east asian martial arts and easily whoop your @$$. This is why you do not often hear people insulting them (at least not to their face).

Similar to spanish people, they do enjoy large parties (often family mixed with friends) with delicious, meaty foods. They are loads of fun to be around and usually have tons of friends.

Filipinos are generally proud of their heritage and, as a minority group, have a strong sense of camaraderie with other pinoys.
