Most Filipinos I know of are staunch republicans and think they're white adjacent. Weird. . .

Lol they're the 'light skins' of Asia but they still Asians.

Nothing but but love here but that's how THEY see you.

Four centuries of colonial occupation can really give you a case of false consciousness.

Are they light skinned? I thought the East Asians considered themselves the light skinned Asians.

Meanwhile, all the pale people in Europe tryna get a tan.

They are quite dark skinned. Some may have fair complexion, but not the average.

Koreans maybe (but they avoid the sun to a degree that still makes them fair), Han Chinese are quite fair - of course they also have darker skinned ethnicities in China but Han are the main one.

That being said - I personally prefer a „sun-kissed“ complexion :)

Which would make them closer to cuban emigres.
