well it's like "are indian people asian?" if they reside in an area that is considered asia, then they are technically asian even though some people might not consider them to be.

I only say that filipinos aren't asian to piss off this guy in the chatroom, because he's overly obsessed with asians, and he's filipino. =x
But, yeah, I guess they're considered asians. =]

QUOTE(Sumiaki @ Dec 27 2004, 1:34 AM)
Last time I checked, "Pacific Islander" isn't considered a continent. Filipinos are asians. I think people are getting two words confused, Oriental and Asian. Many people say that Indians are not Asian, although they are a part of Asia. They are asian, they are just not oriental. I really think this "catergorizing" is completely Bullsh*t. It's completely not necessary, it just adds confusion and promotes stereotyping.

you explained that very nicely thank you lol thats what i tried to say.

idk if this has been said on this topic (you expect me to read 5 pages??!! </sarcasm>), but are Iraqi's considered Asian, since it's part of Asia. i mean.. would you find it odd if an Iraqi said something like "blah blah, yah, i'm Asian. blah blah".

Welll.... if the Philippines is considered to be a part of Asia... then those who are of filipino heritage ARE Asian.

The End.

*two pages later*

... how is this debatible? how does this matter. did you seriously have a conversation like "i'm from the Philippines. i'm asian" "NO YOU'RE NOT! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"? cause if you did, you're a goofball.

ahhh yes I consider Flips to be asian... mainly because most look asian! But most Flips are Catholic right? And for some reason I've always thought they had very interesting/cool names... sounds like hispanic names many times. Especially the last names. I always thought that Fillipino culture seemed more like Hispanic. The language, food, religion, names...

While it is a Middle Eastern country, the Middle East isn't a continent.
QUOTE(Wikipedia.org)
The term Middle East defines a general area, so does not have precise borders. It is generally taken to include: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and the Palestinian Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

All of those countries (except for Egypt) are on the continent of Asia. So if an Iraqi wanted to call himself Asian, he could.

Filipinas are South East Asian. They definitely look more Oriental like those of Thailand, cambodia and Burma than pacific islanders such as Polynesians and moari peoples
I always believed they emigrated from Asia
I would say Asian

I believe we are Asian... Geographically I mean...the Southeast ASIAN Treaty Organization was based in the Philippines, it is a member of the Association of Southeast ASIAN Nations, Manila will be playing host for this year's Southeast ASIAN Games, etc., etc.
