filipinos (specifically filams) who claim they're PI without actually having any other PI heritage need to fucking touch grass you don't see indonesian or malay or taiwanese ppl pull this shit what fucking brain rot infested u guys. every time i see one of u cunts say "i dont feel asian enough to be considered asian 😔😔😔" you always list cultural and aesthetic traits that are present in south asia and asean but not east asia like tattoos, seafaring, having clothes more suited to a tropical climate, and brown features like bigger eyes, dark skin, body hair. the amount of times i've seen ppl say "but we look closer to PI ppl than Actual Asians(tm)". you're just fucking racist, to both asians and PI!

#i opened instagram. got blasted with a reel glorifying the aesthetics of visaya ppl and likening them to PI and polynesian ppls #die one thousand deaths #every time im like hey maybe i should try other socmed platforms and then i get blasted with this shit #(ik what the brain rot is and its usamerican propaganda pero pota ignorante pa kayo)#but like this mentality can only be excused for so much. you have a phone. call your homeland relatives and ask what they id as #you have the internet. ask a random homeland filipino OR a diaspora filipino what they id as.#filams try to excuse it as 'i grew up in hawaii/place with lots of PI so i identify closely with them because of similar culture/food'#i grew up in australia im not fucking white #i grew up in a suburb where BOTH filipinos and PI are significant populations and regularly mingle #if a filipino called themselves PI in front of us both filipinos and PI will laugh at u #delete later bc ive written this rant up a million times ugh
