Getting all defensive just goes to show what I’ve said probably rings true. But as I’ve previous stated, who you are as an individual is influenced mostly by where you’ve spent most of your life. I would venture to say that most of you would be more accurately described as: American of Filipino (Asian) decent, just as many “white” folks like my self would be more accurately described as American of Irish / German (European) decent.

If you must know, I was born and lived in the Phillippines. I amire your talent for judging people using only a few post out of context and Wikipedia entries.

Seriously, speaking for the majority, no one here cares what you have to say. If you want to go on a rant on racial definitions, feel free to start your own thread. There is really no need for you to keep posting here.

Just because it's not sold at a Nissan dealer, doesn't mean it can't be imported by a private dealer. nissan 370z Philippines

Yes, one can chose to be “proud” of whatever he /she wants but choosing to represent a nation you know al most nothing is beyond lame. I say if you’re so proud to be “Filipino” learn the national language, culture and actually live there for a few years at the very least. If you feel the same way after that then by all means flaunt your “Filipino Pride”! Otherwise you just look kinda silly.

I'm what they would call a "twinkie". Made in the Philippines but raised in the USA for about 90% of my life. My parents always cooked Filipino food and made friends with other Filipino families. Of course I would call them "Tito" and "Tita" even though they weren't really.

It's been decades since I could actually speak tagalog but my parents still talk (and yell) at me in tagalog but I always talk back in English, ha!

I've gone back to the Philppines a few times for vacations - I usually pick up some barrelmen and balisong knives as souvenirs.

I still consider myself Filipino, a twinkie but still Filipino. Filipino-American?

For one, I wasn’t asking if "you" were born / lived in the Philippines for a couple weeks, etc. Second, if you think I'm "Judging" people and using "Wikipedia entries" as a base for my knowledge you're dumber than I originally thought, congratulations! I've probably spent more time in the Philippines and know more about the culture than you and I'm a white guy, you mad?. Oh and who is going on a "rant" about racial definitions? Have you lost your mind or what?

And did I say it’s impossible for a 370z to be imported to the Philippines? No, there you go assuming things again. The bottom line is that based on your responses you're extremely insecure with your identity. And if anyone needs to "GTFO" it's you seeing you're the ONLY one getting his panties in a bunch.

I went to one in DC a few years ago. My sister lived in Baltimore before she moved to NC. There is a pretty large group of Filipino's on Long Island and Queens. Some really good Filipino restaurants too including a Jolly Bee. I'm not sure about festivals, but we do have Filipino community parties about twice a year.

My dad cooks lechon in the backyard. Freaks people out the first time they see it, but parties wouldn't be complete without it.

Wow I bet that member is probably one of about a hand full at best. I hope they live outside of the major cities... The traffic in Manila for example is flat out horrendous. The last time I was in the Philippines I didn't see too many sport cars like the 370z.

last time i was there was 2005, somewhere downtown I saw 3 evo's: iirc it was a 4, 5, and a 6. I was drooling only because they're not available in the US.

Almost $80k including taxes. A GTR is abot $150k including taxes. You'll have more luck seeing an F430 on the street instead of a Z or GTR.
