Is the stereotype slanted eyes? Cuz I don't have slanted eyes and neither do many other Filipinos nor do Indians (from India).

Is the stereotype light skin (like chinese and japanese0? Cuz I sure damn well am tanned and there are plenty of dark Filipinos and dark Indians.

Is the stereotype the religion? Well the majority of Filipinos are not Buddhist and it was never really part of our culture.

Is the stereotype our blood? Because Filipinos are not MONGOLOID stock. MONGOLOIDS are your modern Chinese/Japanese/Native American Indian.

If it's the blood, then you are saying Mexicans are Asian because Native Americans came from China.

Please don't even start on stereotypes. Yes, the Philippines is in Asia, but that is a Geographical term. And since you bring up Russians...they do have Mongoloid blood mixed with European...so are Russians Chinese?

My point again is make sure you know what you're talking about before you make IGNORANT comments.
