White-born man claims he's 'transracial,' identifies as Filipino

I wonder where I'll sit in society if I was in Brazil? I mean, I don't look Nordic or anything, but I am racially Caucasoid with light pigmentation. I'm not European either. It's really weird if you think about it.

You'd probably be seen as White more easily in Brazil than in the US. Lebanese in Brazil are pretty much White, they aren't as different from the Iberians as they are from the Nordics/Anglos who were the traditional Whites in the US.

You would be fine in most of Brazil, though. You'd only be discriminated in small White communities in the South (where there are some German and E. European communities). In my case, I am only treated well (before they know I am from Sweden, anyway) in the state of Bahia and a few other places in the Northeast/North and Rio de Janeiro.

Malaysians and Indonesians are not culturally East Asian at all. Vietnamese are the only SE Asians that are truly Confucian culturally. The reason why they hate China is because historically they were dominated by China, so they have a deep paranoia of China trying to colonize them again, which, I guess is logical. Vietnam was a Chinese province in the past and was in the process of becoming a "Han Chinese" territory but they rebelled and succeeded, unlike many of the other regions that are now considered "Chinese".

i never said malaysians/indonesians are east asian.. they are muslims ofcourse.

But do they admire Blacks or African Americans (thanks to American cultural dominance)?

non-black americans ( no Michael jordan, no denzel washington, no will smith etc)

judge yourself from the testimony of africans & carribeans

Jamaicans
<-- type blakdyank in google and see for yourself.. and look at his testimony.

You nailed it. It's the same shit in Latin America. A lot of Latinos believe their countries are the most welcoming on the planet, when the reality is Latin America is one of the most White-worshiping and racially segregated continents on the planet. Haitians aren't getting all that "Latino love" in Brazil or Chile from my personal experience. Neither are the native-born Amerindians and Blacks.

Would I fit in? lol

Look at Heathers FFS. LOL

If I was Afram, I definitely wouldn't trade places with an Afro Brazilian for sure.

I wouldn't either. Sometimes, I am thankful I wasn't born fully Brazilian just so I don't have to deal with all that bullshit, but I feel like I have to do something to at least help to change that culture in the future, even if by a little bit.

Brazilians are self-haters who worship Nordics?! That's not the reality I saw in movies like Cidade de Deus and Tropa de Elite...

That's exactly what I saw in those movies and through all the years I spent there, lol.

I heard latinas love MENA men, is that true?

I haven't seen one of your pics so far, but the question is not whether one fits or not. Almost anyone fits in Brazil. The thing is, White privilege might be a somewhat overused term in North America, but it is a very real and palpable concept in Latin America.

Not as much as Nordic men. But if they aren't too dark-skinned, I think most women in Brazil will like MENA men.

In these movies, Brazil comes across as a country filled with socio-economic problems (crime, police corruption, poverty, street gangs), not as the land of White worshipers, lol.
