What do you think is the correct term for my friend's ethnicity?

Question

My friend currently lives in the Philippines. Her maternal grandfather's mom is a pure Spaniard & her paternal grandmother is also a half-Spaniard while their other halves are pure Filipinos. Can she still be considered as Hispanic or Eurasian?

Answer 1

She's quarter whatever Spanish ethnic group and quarter whatever Filipino ethnic group.

Eurasian = Descended from someone from Europe and someone from Asia

Hispanic = Descended from someone from a Castilian (Spanish)-speaking country

So yes.

Answer 2

okay first of all, how do you say her great whatevers are spanish then ask if she can be claimed as hispanic? i think your actaully the filipno one, who is claiming that your grandmother and whatever is spanish when they are not. because obviously you dont know that being spanish is something different to hispanic. first, go google what spanish is and then go google what hispanic is. then you will find your answer jeez.  

Answer 3

For the first answerer: You are incorrect. People from SPAIN do look white. Have you watched the Olympics? All the athletes from SPAIN look white. Have you watched movies that are from SPAIN? The actors look white.

--------------------------------------...

People from SPAIN are white because they are from EUROPE. Since you are Asian and part European, you are considered Eurasian.

Answer 4

Its bored me these questions, I always hear it so many many time from filipino people like to say they got spaniard ancestors awhile indeed, they don't?  in fact its only 4 percent of the population in Filipino whom have got the spaniard ancestors. the least are pure filipino. I really don't under why would you wanted to be caucasian that much? why don't you feel proud of being the ins dependent Filipino instead being the population under controlling of european people???

also, I don't find spanish to be white thought, they don't look white at all. and many of asian part spanish tend to look like oridinary south east asian.

Answer 5

err... you have white in you but you are mixed.

you're eurasian.

be proud!!!
