I felt so very vindicated after finding this topic. I've been saying this same thing for years. I'm full Chinese, but I have a lot of pinoy friends. I don't know what it is, but I always have Filipinos come up to me and say,"Are you Chinese?" I say, "Yes." and they say, "I'm 1/4 Chinese 1/4 Spanish and 1/2 Filipino." or "My Grandmother is Chinese too."
Why do Filipinos always have to say they are part Chinese???
I doesn't make any difference to me...I still like them...I don't get it.

The AncestryByDNA.com genetic test should provide a more definitive answer regarding the genetic racial makeup of an individual. Recent advances in genetic testing have put the answer to questions/claims like those made on this website (e.g., I'm Filipino, Chinese, and Spanish, etc.). Whether your goal is to assist in validating your true racial makeup or just to satisfy your curiosity, Ancestry DNA testing is the only scientifically rigorous method available for this purpose in existence today.
