9 comments

1. That is fucking pathetic.

2. That’s wild if true

3. I no Filipino, I Spanish.

4. Not the first Spainiard to deny their Filipono roots

5. She got finger blasted?

6. She got bullied for being Filipina and started saying Spanish as a defense. This is one comment dropped in a conversation about spicy food in a reality TV segment. Not an in depth discussion about her heritage.

7. Spain colonized the Philippines, so she could be of spanish descent

8. I wonder what ethnicity people here think african americans are… your parents don’t have to be spanish for you to have spanish ancestry. Some places in the Philippines have a high degree of spanish ancestry. Also “filipino” isn’t a single race, there’s many different ethnicities that make up the country.

9. Awwwww that’s disappointing. Another one of delulu clowns who thinks they’re white.
