Asian dudes getting the short end of the stick

I don't want to offend you but most Pinoys have a poor understanding of history so when they write out their Spanish surnames they automatically assume mestizo ancestry, which to them is superior than native stock bloodline, not knowing the name adoption started for tax reasons. Pinoys are the original Malay people, and yes, very similar to other SE Asians and Austronesians. Those with mixed ancestry made up a very tiny minority, a fact Pinoys should celebrate at least twice a year. And that their culture is still intact after hundreds of years of colonization is a testament to the resilience of the native peoples. However, many Pinoys, esp. the overseas ones, tend to overlook this.

no offense there, since its a criticism I find unfortunately true, and since I am more like a self-hating chinese immigrant with my own problems dealing with my equally flawed ethnic brothers. and yes, I find a good portion of pinoys living in the united states unbearable to interact with.

I thought "Pinoys" or "Pineyes" was kind of a mild slur term. I learned it many years ago from a half-Filipino woman who used it dismissively of full-blooded Filipinos who wanted to date her. Am I mistaken about this usage?

I am full blooded Pinoy and don't know anything about my spanish heritage other than the fact I have a spanish name. I consider myself American (born) first and Asian (Filipino) by race, so no mention of spanish blood. In relation to OP...yeah it sucks. But I've had better luck in that dept. than most Filipino guys I know, but even then it's not like I am a ladies man. Wish I can say confidence, looks, etc. is the end-all be-all but there will be some who simply won't date Asian guys. Oh well.

As far as I know, it is slang for full blooded with no negative connotation.

its not a derogatory term, Jan. 'pinoy' or its female counterpart 'pinay' is very much used in everyday language here. the president, whose nickname is 'noy' even calls himself 'p.noy'. come to think of it, I don't know of any slur term for filipinos.

In South Africa, Asian males are in high demand by the local female population, same with Indian Muslims, both groups with limited chance in the states. Asian guys do very well among women in many countries in Latin America too. You have to move around a bit. Being white used to be pretty sweet but not anymore. If anything, it's a handicap. The fact that most Asian guys prefer Asian women in a multiracial society is to me a good thing. Women are weak, and historically were the first to find consorts among men of the "perceived" dominant class. This is as ingrained as the human urge to find shelter in the rain. I don't blame them. During the Mongolic rule in Eurasia, Caucasian women did the same to their men. I'm quite certain the 21st century will restore historical hierarchy among the races.
