Okay. First off.... filipinos are asians! For those who dont consider flips as asians, then you're pretty stupid. because the philippines did come from asia! & just because its an island, doesnt mean its not from asia. look, japan is an island, & its considered as a part of asia?! sheesh.. okay well filipino's have dark skin.. but yeah most actually have light coloured skin. Most flips are found wearing BALLER clothing. Some are honger, nammer, & white washed. filipino's speak tribal languages such as tagalog, bisaya, ilocano, etc. you can get pretty mixed up between a flip, malaysian, cambodian, and laos. coz they all dark skinned. filipino's often work at fast food restaurants. Most flip parents are really strict and they push their kids to finish school and hope for them to get a great job, such as nursing, doctor, etc. they often strive to be the greatest in english. so most forget about their native language (which is not very good!) well yeah, thats all i can think of..

Uh, damn. It's pretty hard to like actually group filipinos in one race. They a little bit of everything. Ancestors come everywhere from China to Spain to Australia to wherever and gives the people there a cool multicultural feel. I myself am half pinoy, and lemme tell you, that particular side is so amazingly different than my white sided family, I friggin get culture shock after an annual trip to the filipinos in Cali.
White dude: ha, man you're like the token asian in our skool. Just look at ur slanted eyes.
Filipino Guy: Shove it, cracka. you damn ignorant. Filipinos ain't got no slanted eyes or whatever those mainland asians got.
White dude: whatever. (he definately lost this one)
OR
American dude: sup man, that one band yesterday was hella chill, huh?
His Filipino friend: Fo sho, I'm totally diggin their new album...
Ignorant preppy American kid interrupts: What the hell. your asian, shouldn't you be listening to some ching chang chong music right now????????
Filipino Guy: Fuck off asshole. you some kinda dee-dee-dee child?!?!
Ignorant kid: WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! mommy!!!...
