Subject: Re: IMSCF Syndrome ("I'm Spanish-Chinese-Filipino" Syndrome) in America Author: isadora [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/ 2/02 10:30am PST In reply to: Chris 's message, "IMSCF Syndrome ("I'm Spanish-Chinese-Filipino" Syndrome) in America" on 01/16/02 8:55pm PST I am half Filipino and half Spanish but I am very proud of who I am. Everywhere I go I am proud to tell others that I am a true blood Filipino although I am already an American citizen. I am a true Filipino by heart, mind, soul, and body. People are amazed on how I made friends so easily. It's because I always approach them and talk to them and said, "Are you a Filipino?" Then they reply that they are Filipino too. Afterward we talked about where we are from and exchange our info and became good friends. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF INTEGRATION AND SOCIALIZATION, IF ONE DECIDES TO DESCRIBE THEIR BACKGROUND AS FILIPINO, WHITE, AND SPANISH, IT'S UP TO THAT PERSON; HE/SHE IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS THEIR FAMILY LINEAGE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL NO ONE CAN REALLY SAY THEY'RE REALLY FULL BLOODED; EVERYONE IS MIXED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. BEING "FILIPINO" IS WITHIN ONE'S DAILY RITUALS, HABITS, AND/OR CULTURAL BELIEFS.
