Are Filipinos/Filipinas asian? below is an open letter email by Art Bell, a radio talk show host in Nevada?

shake_chill26 asked:


As we’ve all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun to infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of qualities all Filipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis. You can see this clearly by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino Americans.
Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:
Are they really Asian? Well we’ve come to accept the fact the Filipinos come from a part of the world known as South East Asia . But the term ” Asia ” is used in the wrong way……

    I have read and I found it not really offending. Tackle the problem logically and he doesn’t make sense especially in the first sentence.

    We are asian because we are born in asia…. simple as that. He is ignorant to think that we don’t have asian traditions. Obviously because it was oblitirated by US, Japan, and Spain when they conquered us. And yes, we find connection to Japan because….. they lived here during the last century…

    Also, it is funny that we did not contribute anything major to history. Yes, not in his history but in 3rd world country history, we are one of the first people who fought back..

    If he doesn’t want filipinos in his country, he should do something about it, if he can’t, then let him yell out his voice.

    I have dated across the spectrum of women,including many Filipino women. I am not Filipino.They are NOT any more trashy than any other woman regardless of ethinicity.

    Primarily of Asian heritage.The aboriginal people of the Philippines, the Negritos(Asian-no genetic links to true Blacks(N*egroid)), are an Australo-Melanesian people, which arrived in the Philippines at least 30,000 years ago.

    The Philippines had trade relations with China and Japan, and strong cultural ties with India through neighboring present-day Malaysia and Indonesia as early as the ninth to twelfth centuries.

    Bottom line-the Filipinos are a mix of Asian(Japanese, Chinese),White(European(Spanish) and Semitic(Arab-Islam)), Hispanic(American Indian/White(above)) , and Indian(from India), but the greatest portion is the Asian heritage, thus, the Asian look.

    Bottom line, Art Bell is uninformed and racist if he really wrote that letter.

    My goodness!

    That letter was a hoax and it’s 7 years old! Do you know that Art Bell’s first wife, Ramona, was Filipina (RIP) and he is now married to a Filipina?
