Saying there is a such thing as an "XYZ culture" isn't about being a monolithic group.
No matter how much you and your brother love black people (), you still acknowledge that you are Filipino and that there is a "Filipino and/or Filipino-American culture." This doesn't require that Filipinos think, say, and do the exact same things to recreate the culture.
