To add: Almost 80% of the same Filipinos who called me "white washed" have no idea of the real history of the Philippines. They hear Jose Rizal and that we eventually got independence, but they don't know the real story of our Filipino ancestors vs. Spain and later the United States.
So, I really have no idea where to base their statement other than the guess that anything not "Asian" to them is "white".
