Question about my ethnicties...?

Question

Both of my parents are Filipino.

My dad's grandfather is spanish & a quarter white.

My grandma told me her grandma was spanish & so was her mom.

So what does that make me , in all?

Btw :

My dads last name is Maneja

My grandma's last name is Silva

My moms last name is Manalastas.

Oh and one question, is spanish the same thing as :

White

Hispanic

Or Mexican?

Answer 1

a spanaird is a white european hispanic and add the percentages of your dad is 25% white and your mom is sounds 25% white although you didnt explain it correctly. your mom is prob less than 25% so you are any where from 15-25% white spanaird. mexicans are mayan natives and spanaird mix not filipino.

Answer 2

Spanish in Europe is considered white and so are Italians. Mexicans are mixed Indians and that's why they look somewhat asian. You just sound like a filipono because don't all of them have Spanish in them?

Answer 3

if both of your parents are filipino you are filipino if your grandparents are spanish you are part spanish. overall you are more filipino than you are spanish. and spanish is hispanic.

Answer 4

ok im bad at math but i tried so cut me some slack.

if your mom is 3/4 Filipino 1/4 Spanish and your dad is 3/4 Filipino 3/16 Spanish and 1/16 white than you are  = 3/4 Filipino 7/32 Spanish and 1/32 white. so you are really confused lol and no i cant explain how i got that its probably wrong but hey i tried a little more info could have helped.

Answer 5

ONE  SPANISH IS A LANGUAGE . Spaniards    it dependa who you talk to some do not consider themselves white others do .  From  what you are telling me  your  great grandparents are of  spanish and white descent . Meaning you have more Filipino blood in you down  than Spanish  . to me your Filipino , but if you want to feel special   you can say you have  white and Spaniard  blood in you.

I MEAN MY GRANDMOTHER IS PACIFIC ISLANDER, GRANDFATHER  IS BLACK   AND HIS  GRANDFATHER WAS NATIVE AMERICAN.  ON MY MOTHERS SIDE . My dad is black . Anyways   I consider my self black .However , you can see the Pacific Islander features in my siblings and myself . So when someone ask if I had something else in my I would say Pacific Islander .  Since my mother is half black and half Guamanian .  

Answer 6

What portions are Filipino? Do you say your folks are Filipino because the were born on Philippines soil?

You also need to list the heritage of both your mom & dad not just one grandma and one grandpa to find out your percentages of each heritage/background/ethnicity.

Answer 7

I don't believe that you are Spanish. Most Filipinos say that and it is unfounded. I do believe that you are Filipino and you should call yourself that.  

Answer 8

You are white, of Hispanic descent, lol.  

Answer 9

If your parents are Filipino, I'd say you were Filipino.  And Spanish is technically white, but it can also be considered Hispanic.

P.S.

You're only Mexican if you're from Mexico.

Answer 10

OK. You are Filipino. Dress nice, be well groomed, speak in the std American vernacular, and enjoy being an American. When they ask keep it simple. You are now American, I hope.

Answer 11

It makes you white/Filipino human if you're using the proper definition of Spanish.

A native of Spain is Spanish, so is the language they speak.  Spanish is not a race (contrary to popular belief).
