did any of u see that guy in the front who was laughing at the dance.??

[psaluda]

@ge2298 - I think you mean the guy in a blue cap, the one trying to imitate the Jota arms in the air. It's common anytime you attend a performance in any public school of Latin America, the common of the people try to imitate *real* dancers performing, and then their friends make fun of them because they are not dancers. We also think of "Spain", so we imitate them all in good fun, nothing special.

I'm Hispanic i think that Filipinos are Asian

[psaluda]

That is where they are, of course, 'off' the coast of Asia. But Australian and South African mainstream cultures are predominantly Caucasian/AngloSaxon, yet they are far from the mother country that gave that culture to them. USA is far away from the prehispanic cultures inhabitting its soil.

why do filipinos like to be considered latinos by the way? Philippines is a part of Asia people! so consider yourselves as asians jeez!

[psaluda]

Hi, shakeit etc etc. 'Latinos' is an artificial invention in the USA (they are good at that) for PuertoRicans, Cubans, and if we push it 'Mexicans'. Nobody else is really latino unless he can do salsa and reggaeton like a master. Philippines is Hispanic because it shares 300 years of same history with a continent across the Pacific; it was this 'Hispanic' order which made it Philippines. Its brothers now speak the language which Philippines was MEANT to be speaking by now.

We don't like to be latinos,we just have a hispanic background.jeez!we are asians and for those Filipinos who consider their self as latinos,maybe they have a spanish family.God sake.

@impinai79 We can't say that we are simply Filipinos. It's like saying Venezuelan, Mexican, etc. are just simply how they are called. For "Filipino" is just a nationality while Latino is an ethnicity. Filipinos are basically Hispanic, not just as a background culture but a culture which is our own, that makes us Filipino. Besides we are the Latinos of Asia :)

[impinai79]

yes, we do have a very strong hispanic culture and tradition that until now we still have it. we don't consider ourselves as latino. We are simply FILIPINOS and we are proud of that =) we love our culture and tradition.

FILIPINAS FORMO PARTE DE ESPANA HASTA EL 1898, POR ESO LOS NOMBRES SON EN ESPANOL Y LA INFLUENCIA HISPANA, SE LIBERARON EN EL 1946.

[freezingsense]
