Me and my Filipina friend were arguing at the mall because she says Filipino people are Hispanic, but i said theyre Asian!!! they just have a influential Hispanic culture due to the colonization for 333 years!! she's really smarter than that and i wouldnt suspect that she would say she's Hispanic!!! she's Asian! am i right?
 
Being hispanic is a matter of self-identification. It means someone of native or a descent from Spain or in Spanish Speaking countries, speak Spanish & practice Spanish culture. Maybe that girl is of Spanish descent so that's why she claim Hispanic & thought that Filipinos are like that. But there are only less than 4% of Filipinos have part-Caucasian ancestry.
