nowadays, "filipino" has become its own category under background. ive seen it....

im 3/4, but i would rather disassociate myself. i find that i more relate to my minute caucasian side. not that im racist or anything. i think filipinos are cool, but i HATE how they are so cliquey. so much in fact, thats one of the reasons why i seperate myself. in school, i couldn't hang with the flips because they would all talk tagalog as if it were cool. i cant speak a word of it and hated how that segregated me. why should i have to learn how to speak it just to fit in.

number 2 reason is that they are all gossipy. half of the time i felt like saying "mind your own gd business" or "i really dont care what happened to so and so"

the fact that every flip family thinks of every other filipino as "family" is cool but to an extent. especially when they start looking for you to do favors for them. you cant do one or two good things without them walking all over you, starting to expect that is the "norm". then you can't really back down, because they will make it sound like you're the bad person.
