lawlz, my former classmate often mistaken me as an indian. Although I look Filipino... but there's "Indian" in it, probably the eyes. The fact is, my eyes came from Latin-race. lawlz! so meaning to say, not all Filipinos looks Malay. To me, there're 45% Malay and 30% Ami, the rest would be half mestizos/morena and filipino. At least inside my classroom.

enough about the race.

I think Malaysia's terracotta or red jars came from the Philippines, during pre-historic times.

Pink,

You should check it out at Philippines Chat where a few Filipinos (a few, I say!), directly or indirectly, really think they are sort of whites, Caucasians or light-skinned Amis. They even go so far to think that they are always whiter, lighter and more Caucasian-looking than Malaysians, Indonesians,etc, even more so than fellow Filipinos in Mindanao! Me, like you, really don't think Filipino looks are extraordinary..they are just ordinary-looking browns with Malay looks. But you can't convince them! Not all of them though have this attitude. Some really are proud of their brown, Malay complexion and looks. In fact, they are bantering against each other over this skin color issue there in Philippine Chat.

few, but u have to remember ejay makes a new account all the time so it looks like theres 20 ppl arguing in a thread, he has like 4 accounts in this thread alone lol

ejays point most of the time is that not all pinoys are dark, & many lighter ones exist too (but same applies to m'sians right?) but he exaggerates it sometimes/most of the time to convince ppl
