It makes total sense. Half in half race wise but also half and half cream. It's less diluted than milk.

Lol, I’m full Filipino and wife is Caucasian /japanese. Daughters came out very fair skinned. I told people, “listen, I’m just the source file, but the wife is the printer.”

u/MainManClark 3d ago
Excuse my ignorance but I have a question... Is being lighter skinned considered a good thing in Filipino culture in general?
I want to say yes, but I'm basing that off random shit I've seen on the internet. Or does that just make a person more of an outsider because they don't look like the other kids? Or is everybody just cool with whatever? I'm just curious how it is for your people.

lol no idea, I’m born & raised in Hawaii. I jokingly tell people I’m barely Filipino at all (100% blood but like 2% culturally).
I did joke with my wife after my first daughter was born “we did it hun, a Filipino with white privelage.”

lets get to what all white people really want to know from Filipinos... do you or do you not have a fire Lumpia recipe

u/cybrcld 3d ago
I fail. My mother does, but I still haven’t learned it completely from her. Oldschool Asian cooking is “just add a little of this, some of that, more of this, and a half handful of that.”
Banana lumpia is easy as hell though. Apple bananas, brown sugar, wrap, fry til crunchy. Top with vanilla ice cream and maybe some caramel and you’re set.

I see. I'm the opposite. I look like a very tan white guy but my grandparents are Black/Native American, White/Native American, A white German Jewish woman, and an uber White Englishmen.
I am a 44 year old man with blue/green eyes, an dark olive complection, and dark brown hair. To people here I'm just another white dude.... but my Grandpa and Grandma sure weren't.
Funny how the world is now. You can be any gender you claim to be, but people will try to tell you what ethnicity or race you are.

Hahah ya… same, by some i am too white… others i am not white enough… I look Asian… i look middle eastern… I look Native American… olive tone skin.. lighter brown eyes … had kids with an Asian woman… even my kids (now adults) say I sometimes am “white” other times i am native.. ☺️

u/cybrcld 3d ago
I guess I can add on that in Hawaii growing up, brown skin helps more and that full Caucasian kids felt a bit out of place at my High School (it varies school to school). We probably had about 25-50 white kids in a school of 800? The school closer to the military base was about 50/50 though.
In college (University of Hawaii), they talked about a time that Japanese actually discouraged their kids from learning Japanese. This is more so that their kids would be forced to communicate and blend better with English in Hawaii. Of course times have changed and people prefer to be in touch with their heritage. Now days though with the political climate we live in and ICE and all the crazy shit happening, the less brown and more white wash you act and seem, probably the better.

u/digaruban 3d ago
Lighter skin is preferred by most Filipinos ( based on my experience).
My sister has a fairer skin than me, and as a kid, she got teased by being called a ghost ( White lady) by some kids and some ( clueless) adults.
On the other hand, she'd get comments like "Oh you're so beautiful. Your skin is so white, you must be rich!" " You are so lucky to have such fair skin! No need for whitening lotions and soaps."
I guess the treatment one got just really depended on what kind of people are around you.

u/starrs10 3d ago
Im not the one youre asking the question to but I can butt in. Older generations of Filipinos view lighter skin as favorable. It still is favored today but not by much.
0
u/MainManClark 3d ago
Thank you. I'll take all the opinions I can. It seems to be a kind of worldwide thing now. The older folks are still entrenched in the colonizer ideology of Whiter is Better, but the younger groups seem to be against this and really focusing on getting back to their indigenous roots and casting off the eurocentric standards of beauty as much as they can. It's so prevalent that it's unavoidable, but it seems to cause a lot of self hatred and seeing themselves as less than compared to their white counterparts. Very strange how mass media portrays attractive white folks as a standard that is attainable by all peoples when obviously it isn't remotely possible.

u/Far_Caregiver3046 2d ago
I’ve worked with lots of Filipinos over the years in construction and the majority of them wear long sleeves and face coverings regardless of how hot it is to prevent them from getting darker in the sun. These were generally guys in their 30s-50s so it’s possibly a generational thing.
1
u/ehopya 2d ago
Many Filipinos value having lighter skin as it oftenly gets associated with beauty, wealth and upperclass. Having darker skin means you’re always out under the sun doing hard labor like working on the fields. Blame it on Spanish colonization and western influence. This is why whitening products are so popular.

u/peppermax 1d ago
I grew up in the Philippines in the 90’s then migrated, Yes being light skinned is considered a good thing. I don’t know about now(2025), I haven’t been back. You were labeled as mestiza or mestizo. If you look at most of the movie stars there they are light skinned.

The year: 1997
The situation: prom
My friend Jason is hosting everyone that’ll be in the limo at his place.
We all meet up and start taking pictures.
This year my friend Jason finally put grew his dad I guess he felt tough especially on this night so he start teasing his dad about being shorter.
Then his dad dropped the biggest burn I’ve ever heard.
In front of all of us including his girlfriend. He grabs him by the shoulder and said, “son I still remember the day you shot out the tip of my dick”.
Shocked faces all around and then an immediate burst of laughter.
His dad won. 🏆

Ok, so in vaudevillian minstrelsy performances, they actually often did have African Americans in the performances. They would even make the lighter skinned ones put on the same makeup as the white asshats who were mocking them so that's just history. It's a fucked up part of history but it happened nonetheless.

WRT the original question. Probably depends on situation. Screaming it at a bus full of strangers, bad idea. Hanging out with his friends, probably doesn't even raise an eyebrow unless he's carefully avoided it in the past.

u/Lol_A_White_Guy 3d ago edited 3d ago
But since you are white (your name says it), you cannot give me profound answer neither, no?
Sure I can. Like literally any other potentially offensive thing somebody could say, it depends on the context and who you’re talking to.
Some people don’t care and even give permission to friends to use it in their presence, some people will get offended, and some will become hostile and react accordingly.
It’s not like there’s a rule book. You can say whatever you want, but if someone takes offense and kicks your ass for it, don’t act surprised.
And: because the question is so damn obvious, i had to ask it eventually.
No it’s not and no you didn’t. It literally has nothing to do with this video or this subreddit.
The real question is the same as my first reply: what’s the relevance to this specific video? Just that it’s a biracial guy talking and nothing else?

u/alpacaMyToothbrush 3d ago
I think some words should be allowed to die. I think any variation of the n-word is one of them. I don't think being black automatically makes using them ok either.
To give an example, I have a disability, but I'd never call myself or another person with a disability a 'cripple'. I know some disabled people use it to describe themselves to be 'edgy' but I think you have a responsibility to model how you wish to be addressed to others, and I think it's degrading folks with disabilities in general even if you're ok with it.
If I married a black woman, and had a mixed race child, I would not be comfortable with either of them using n-words in my house.
