just wondering, did a Korean king of the state of Karak ever marry a princess from India? Was she fine looking? I wouldn't be surprised because Korean and Dravidian languages share some common features and the practice of eating raw fish (sashimi) is also eaten in parts of southern India.

So, why the hell would Japanese or Indians give a damn if there are angels or not if they don't believe in them?

About being called "Chinito." I don't consider it to be negative. However, the "ito" part can be be derogatory. It means small. I guess it's equivalent to calling someone kid or something.

I'm Chinese, and I knew lots of Mexicans, and they called me "El Chino Loco." It was a cool nickname. Nowadays, I work in real estate, and most of the construction workers are Mexicans. If they don't know my name, they all call me "Chino," which is fine by me.

"About the mestizas, it's true, not just for Pinays, but for all Asian stars. Check it out. Madison Michele: 1/2 Pinay, 1/2 white; Kristin Kreuk: 1/2 Chinese, 1/2 Dutch; Heidi Lucas: 1/2 Chinese, 1/2 Eastern European; Nicole Scherzinger: I'm not exactly sure, but I know she's hapa haole."

You are totally confusing the issues here. You are talking about Asian stars in the West (ie, USA) being mostly mixed Asian-White, but what “Truth and Understanding” was talking about was the fact that basically all the showbiz pinoys in the Philippines are mestizos/as.
Imagine going to China or Japan, or Cambodia and turning on the telivision and you saw 90% of the people on movies, news reporters, show hosts were all people of mixed european/chinese or european/japanese, etc. Would that make sense to you? Of course not! But that is exactly what happens in the Philippines, all the TV personalities are mixed, in a country where they make up 1% of the population.

Name me another Asian country where this happens?
Answer: Nowhere.

So the exaple you are giving is totally baseless, it has nothing to do with the majority of showbiz asians in Asia being mixed european-asian.

Whatever, mwahahahaha!!! Filipino-bashers are jealous and irritated at us. I speak the truth and the fact. Even the term "Dominatrix" is a negative term with a negative meaning and almost all her posts are filled with negativity. We Filipinos are definitely the best and that's the final word.
Even when the end of time comes, we Filipinos will be in existence forever! Friday, January 18, 2002 at 10:16:58 (PST)

TSJ:

“Jesus was a European man. What are you saying? That we should have a picture of a Jesus with Asian features? That would be blasphemy. It would be like creating your own religion. In that case, should a white Buddhist put a likeness of a white Buddha up in his house?”
That you never see pictures of Asian or Black or Indian or Hispanic angels? Are there no Pilipino, Japanese, Indonesian or African, etc people in heaven?"
Once again, Christianity is a EUROPEAN religion. Everyone else was converted. Indians, Japanese, and Indonesian? Most Indians are either Hindu or Sikh. Japanese mostly are Shinto. Indonesia is the world's largest Muslin country.

Jesus was not a European by birth or descent. He was not born on the European continent. He was a Jew, born in South West Asia (Middle East) in the city of Bethlehem to Jewish parent. He was most likely to have had semi-kinky black hair, an dark olive complexion, deep brown eyes and the physical traits of Semites. Jews and Arabs at that time were of the same stock, but then Jews moved into Europe and mixed with the European populations and thus now come in all different shades of European colors, blonde, brown, blue, green, hazel, and brown eyes).

Christianity is not a European religion, like most all other world religions such as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Bhuddism, Shinto, etc, it is an Asian religion.

As for the angels, their religion is neither the issue nor the point. Yes, Indians are mostly Hindu or Sikh, Japanese are mostly Shinto, etc, but the statement didn’t address their religion, it addressed weather or not those nationalities could be angels.
Do you mean to say that Christians of the world (Middle-Eastern Christians, Asian, European, Hispanic, Black, Indian Christians, etc) should only depict original Christians (White Europeans, since according to you, Europeans invented the Christian religion) as angels in heaven? The Spanish did erroneously depict Jesus as a blonde-blue eyed man, they themselves changed the face of Jesus to fit in with their people and culture. So why shouldn’t Asians be able to see the face of an Asian featured Jesus hanging on the walls. It wouldn’t be like creating a different religion. If so, the Spanish are just as guilty.

Filipina Girl79:

“Obviously, Filipino bashers are just jealous. We Filipinos are loved by everyone because we are warm, we smile a lot and we are friendly. We aren't *bitches* like other nationalities, such as where Asian Dominatrix true heritage is.”

And you as a Filipina are going to tell me that saying things like “we aren't *bitches* like other nationalities” is because “we Filipinos are…warm, we smile a lot and we are friendly”. You contradicted your own perception of Filipinos’ warmth and friendliness by calling other Asian nationalities *bitches*. Has it ever crossed you mind that we may actually be disliked because of our personalities (such as yours), which are the result of our cultural upbringing instead of because of the perceived “jealousy of us” you say they have?
