@bigpango1 The word Guamanian was created by the USA as a way to identify a native Chamorro (from Guam). And for many years on Chamorros in Guam (not Saipan etc) would call themselves Guamanian. Today the word Guamanian refers to any resident of Guam no matter the ethnicity. A Filipino resident of Guam can say he is Guamanian. It is no longer an ethnic term. It is political and geographic now. Similar to the word Californian, Texan, Oregonian, Floridian, etc.

Another example would be a man with Spanish descent living who has lived his entire life in America.

Is he Spanish, or is he American?

Well, he's both.

I honestly think the term Guamanian just represents where a person was born or raised

and Chamorro is the ethnicity

Say a Chamorro and a filipino met; they'd probably say they're chamorro or filipino

if two chamorros met, they'd probably say they're Guamanian, Rotanese, Tinian, or Saipanese

Point is; if you are born, raised or reside on Guam- you are a Guamanian and most likely have great influence from the Chamorro culture

@SovereignSlave1 Hey, I am sorry for your experience, but some people in Guam aren't really mean, the locals are very hospitabal and friendly. I wasn't even born when it happened but Guam isn't a place that kills.

I was stationed in Guam for 2 years and honestly it was the best 2 years of my life. There is nothing wrong with the Island of Guam and I will most certainly go back. Chris you are hilarious keep doing what your doing brother.

[671PEACE]

@SovereignSlave1 what happen was very wrong and who ever is responsible should pay for what they have done. but pls dont judge all Chamorros because of what the evil few or individual has done. for the island as a whole did not take part.
