things i learned about filipinos this weekend:

1. "ariel, who is that guy?"

"which one?"

"the one you just waved to."

"i dunno."

"then why did you wave?"

"he's filipino."


2. "it's like this - between all of the different types of asians, filipinos are . . . black. yeah, filipinos are, like, the black people of asians." - rich rama

3. "all of the other asians want to be filipinos." - ariel

4. every single filipino has better rhythm and can dance better than every other race. combined.

5. they claim to have good taste in music, but i don't think andrew peterson counts.

6. "yeah, you should send out separate invitations for your wedding: one half to the white people and the other half to the filipinos. what time is your wedding? 1:30? okay, on the invites to the filipinos, tell them it's at 11:00." - chris lum

7. "so they got you too, huh? yeah, this time they even got me all barong-ed." - white guy married to a filipino woman.
