You know what I never got? Both Japan and the Phillipines are disconnected from Asia and are islands but why is it that Filipinos are more considered Pacific Islanders and not asian when Japanese people are asian by default?
Hope I phrased all of that correctly. What are your thoughts? |

i can answer that.
because the are guided by assumption. it bugs me when filipinos say that they are pacific islander, when on the contrary they are really asians. since the philippines is not completely bounded by the pacific ocean, therefore it cannot qualify as a pacific island. because it has the south china sea to the west, and the sulu sea in the south. but to avoid the confusion, my school has added a "filipino" bubble to all forms. |
