Just because someone was not born in mexico doesn't mean that their not mexican. How you going to forget what you are just because you were not born there. trying to erase their roots, c'mon man.
yeah, true, but in reality, i know for a fact Mexicans in Mexico dislike Chicanos (kids born in the US of mexican parents for those who dont't know) and will say they're not Mexicans. Same with central Americans, South Americans, Puerto Ricans and even Africans too! They talk mad about how "African Americans" aren't even Africans. Discussions like this can go on, but in reality where ever you were born you're what you are. Be proud of who you are and of your roots.

Isn't the term "Orient" just referring to East as in Asia in general. So would 't calling someone Oriental just mean someone from Asia?
Ignorant on the subject... Asking a serious question.

ALL of the Latinos (equally a misnomer) that I know in real life CALL THEMSELVES and "their people" Spanish.

You two are ignorant.
Anywho, because of the issues that were brought out in this thread, I politely ask a person what ethnicity they are instead of just making an assumption. And then, if I am wrong after, they will know it's just an honest mistake or a blantant joke....Issue avoided.

mexicans dont like american born people who think they are better or flaunt their money. i go out there and treat everyone with respect and love and it gets returned.
i can understand if they dont like you because youre americanized or popis. i was raised hella mexican so they see me as their own. sorry if they treat you like a gabacho
okay. i don't know. all the talk my friends uncles and others i've heard is just all talk and they're playing. i've met plenty of people with different views. i was just stating them as facts since i've heard from more than just 1 person. the hate is deep from what i've seen and heard.
If i go to my parents country, the girls would be all over me, but for sure the guys out there would try to kill me because i was born in America. I have no reason to visit there. I'm good here in the US.

how am i ignorant. i was basically stating what i was told by a fellow polynesian. i've talked about this subject to my fellow filipino friends and my brother in law who is also filipino. most don't know the answer.
it can go back and forth. i don't know your history, but it's obvious filipinos are pacific islanders since the pillipines is an island.
them chinese cats say filipinos aren't asian.
then why filipinos always seem to be pacific islanders more than asian? just my observation.
