No. I'm quite sure everyone of us is going to assume she's east Asian before she is Latina.

According to CNN News:

CNN admits Latino isn't a Race - YouTube

According to Merriam Webster dictionary:


Definition of HISPANIC
1: of or relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain or of Spain and (Portugal?)

2: of, relating to, or being a person of Latin American descent living in the United States; especially: one of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin
Hispanic - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

- So if she practice the culture or the Speech or Language of Spain then she is Hispanic
& if she was born to any of those Latin American country and speak spanish or portuguese or any language derived in Latin then she is Latino.but original Latin are from Europe. Because Latino or Hispanic is not a race. Only in America misused both Latino/Hispanic definition. According to Hispanic/Latino people.

She cannot even pass as Filipino Lol ... She is a a Chinese or Viet... If you say she is a Filipina , then she is of Chinese ancestry because a typical Filipina DOESN'T look like her at all ! I assume you have a fascination for Chinese beauties

neither of the above....she is actually from my hometown in western visayas
of my ethnic group she is karay-a

The Karay-a number about 363,000. They were first believed to be the descendants of immigrants from Borneo, through the epic-myth of the "Ten Bornean Datus". Recent findings, however, revealed that the ancestors of the Karay-a are the Austronesian-speaking immigrants who came from South China during the Iron Age.

it seems that many western visayans have a better grip on what they are then tagalogs who would rather hold on to a hispanic identity then a seasian one

I am from Western Visayas too.. I hold on to my hispanic identity yes because after having lived in Europe for 10 years and frequenting Spain in those 10 years, I discovered so many practices that we Filipinos have were originally contributed by Spain and Mexico... Not to mention the many words Ilonggos got from the Spanish.. That's why I realized that there are really more Spanish words in Ilonggo and Tagalog is more Malay.
