As a Filipino, I can confirm, my oldest sister looks Indian

[@rahathasan819]

Is she hot?

[@user-tt8pj8cb5k]

It means you're indian. British bought indians in the philippines during the 7 years war, and they runaway from british and lived up in the mountain. Still now there's a huge community of indian in rizal province.

[@panjabipandit]

I mean the Philippines was part of the Chola Empire and still evident in some of the names and words being Sanskrit. Wouldn't doubt there's a bit of Indian up in there lol.

[@panjabipandit]

@@user-tt8pj8cb5k That and the Philippines was historically once part of the Indosphere ie. The Chola Empire, amongst others. People forget Indians have been trading by land and sea for a VERY long time and it's evidenced by the Sanskrit influence on many languages found in The Philippines. It's something like 25% of Tagalog is Sanskrit and Tamil derived which is wild.

[@effu9375]

I guess it depends what part of the Philippines you're from.. Filipinos from one province don't look like other Filipino's from another province. I'm from Ilocos Sur and I look Mexican.... I even have random Mexicans speaking to me en español and my damn neighbors thought I was just a landscaper of my own damn house. They see me everyday planting bushes and building a fence and cutting my grass and putting up window shutters. One thing is for sure... all Pinays from Pampanga are BEAUTIFUL...they have a distinct look.

I used to look up to him until now 😂😂😂!

[@MyawMyaw01]

It's true there are more Chinese looking Filipinos than whites, we're Asians not Latinos. I have a cousin who's mostly mistaken to be Indian or a mix of Arab & Indonesian. He has dark skin and a full beard. And his full biological brother looks like Chinese descent. Their parents are full Filipinos. As for me, I look kinda Chinese, I get mistaken as Chinese whenever I'm in Singapore or Malaysia. I guess we did have some Chinese ancestors more than 4 generations before as there's usually 1 or 2 among siblings who can pass off as a Southern Chinese.
