Filipinos, along with Indians are Asians. Contrary to popular belief, Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese aren't the only Asians around. Anyone whose ancestors hail from the continent known as Asia is Asian. If we want to get nit-picky about it all, Filipinos are SouthEast Asians.

some idiots think filipinos aren't 'asians' and that they are 'pacific islanders' because the philippines is an island in the pacific. so i guess that means japanese people are pacific islanders????

When I'm confused as to whether someone is Asian, Spanish or Polynesian - by default, I guess: Fillipino! ;)
