I have never heard that term. I was a navy brat for 16 years and had many Filipino neighbors and friends, not once did I hear that term though

I've never called a filipino a coconut.
in fact this is the first time I've seen some call someone a coconut.
my money is that this came from some kind of racist views of someshort

A lot of people that are brown and Americanized might be called a cocnut because they are brown on the outside and white on the inside.
