There's no such continent known as Pacific Islands. It's a region. The Pacific Islands is a region in ASIA. You work out the Venetian mapping.

Some of you are so ignorant.
 I mean, ok, so we've got that the Philippines is part of the Pacific Island region which is a part of Asia... what are you guys not getting here? Being Asian is NOT BASED ON OPINION. It is fact, either true or false. WTF. What if I told you, I know you're born in China, you were raised in China, you know Chinese culture and language, but in my opinion, you're NOT Chinese. Does that make any sense? Or would you think I'm an idiot too. Is it because some of us don't have "chinky" eyes, are darker skinned, because we don't look "asian"? I mean, people from India are Asian. What, do you not think they're Asian either cuz they don't look like you? Go to school, read a book. Educate yourselves. And I wouldn't suggest you talk about this with educated people because they'll laugh at you. QUOTE Asian
adj. - Of or relating to Asia or its peoples, languages, or cultures. n. - 1) A native or inhabitant of Asia. 2) A person of Asian descent. Source: Dictionary.com |

i guess it would be both, i was first thinking of far southeast asians, but pacific islanders makes sense too.
QUOTE filipinos are aznn. they got black hair naturally. just because filipinos have black hair doens't mean they're asian. i don't know about you, but everyone else who has black hair doesn't seem to be asian. |

"Filipinos are properly termed Asian, since their island groups are considered part of the Asian continent."

I guess it's kind of like debating on whether or not Hawaiians are American or not...The Philippines is in the general area. It's not like the Oriental people are definetly classified as the "Asians". Basically it's a stereotype that just got widened a bit too much. Heck, even some Middle Eastern friends I know say that they would consider themselves Asian, but that it would just be weird.
For some reason, people like to separate others into small little groups. I say people are people. If you're Filipino and you want to be pacific islander, you can call yourself that. If you want to say you're an Asian, then that's okay too. It just depends on your point of view. I say that Filipinos are Asian too. No point in excluding other countries. We're all one huge family.
