Help. I'm having an existential crisis and I'm breaking down.
I'm a half-Filipino who hates my Filipino side.
Help me find something that makes me feel pride in being Filipino. Simply being Filipino is not something to be proud about, but my stupid Filipino relatives don't seem to understand that.
I will admit that it was pretty cozy back when Pacquiao was on top of the world, but... shit shit shit shit SHIT FUCK FUCK why the hell doesn't the Philippines have anything to actually be proud about??? What the fuck were our ancestors doing for hundreds of years???
I don't know... Pacquiao? Just watch their basketball national team, they are /puso/ as fuck, eventhough they lose in the end, at least they provide enjoyment.
Tyler White
Surely there is some history of the Philippines that is cool. or a current politician who is cool
The Germans have Hitler and Merkel The French have Napolean and Hollande The English have Harry Potter
Jonathan Ramirez
Filipino Kari is stronk martial art. Jason Bourne uses it.
Lincoln Sanchez

Michael Sanchez
No memes. I'm being serious. I just came from a Sup Forums thread about Filipinos. I just want to lie down and close my eyes...
That thread is what made me make this one.
You call that something to take pride in?
>Lapu-Lapu Ganged up on Magellan and beat him to death. Big deal. >José Rizal I don't understand why my relatives keep bringing him up. I don't give a fuck about him. Is he really the best we have to offer???
>Kari Stop pretending to be Japanese. You're probably the white guy who married a Filipino from Sup Forums.
Leo King
Come on, get real. The Philippines have had civilization for thousands of years. Surely they had at least a dozen good composers, doctors, explorers, writers, scientists, architects, engineers, philosophers, musicians, artists, inventors something
fuck you lazy half flip american
go to college and take a Philippine history class or something
Xavier Bennett
Name them, fuck face.
Grayson Smith
>That thread is what made me make this one. kek beliebe me you're not alone. i often ask the gods >fuck that (((God,Jesus,Allah,Yahweh))) why i was born to be an above-average intellectual flip in a very bizzare nation the only thing that keeps me going is the happenings and the chaos magick which i am still learning
we literally have no recorded history before 1521 >when Magellan landed in these islands
Carson Watson
I'm not Filipino, how should I know. You're the one who is buttmad about your ancestry
You're the one who can't name a single significant Filipino person despite spending your whole life as a Filipino Go to the library you lazy fuck
Mason Ortiz
You are like 0.3% spanish.
Bentley Davis
>Help me find something that makes me feel pride in being Filipino Duterte.
Tyler Wood
sorry Kano but currently we are Big Cucks to your nation
of course this will change once those >filthy fucking chinks assblast fliplandia thoroughly
Be prepared I have to warn you. China(mainland) is even a bigger bully than US. (Perhaps the same but US being so far away decreases the magnitude
Joseph Bailey
>I'm a half-Filipino There's your problem If you were full filipino you would be fine with your ancestry, you wouldn't even bother thinking about trivial shit like this
Nicholas Peterson
i ain't proud the fliplandia kano
all of these heroes and their wonderful works were DESTROYED
since the 80's until today all of the things which will boost the Philippines into greatness were DENIED to us
no need for heroes now. only cleansing will be enough
Isaac Anderson
What's the other half?
Landon Baker
It's white, of course. What else could it be
Luke Young
What ethnicity.
Adam Turner
we know these fucking commies were in Benham Rise for some time
duterte has been soft for awhile cuz these Red shits will do something autistically retarded in this region
also the NPA are maoists, and maybe are going hyper due to fresh yuan hot money
Nicholas Butler
I've thought about this before. One path to redemption and glory for the Philippines is to be on the winning side of WW3 and play a pivotal role in it... but with the current state of the country... wew........
I'm just going to lie down in bed, close my eyes, and hum. I'm going to hum whatever comes out of my throat, doesn't matter. Hmmmmm.
Jace Long
Is this bothering you that much?
Austin Carter
Realise that you are more than just your race. I take pride in my ching chong ding dong heritage, but acknowledge that pride in one's race is based off the arbitrary. You don't need a good reason to be proud of your lineage.
At the end of the day, it's what you do with your life, rather than what you were born as that really matters. So go and do something you can truthfully say you were proud that you did.
If your only source of self-esteem is what someone only tangentially related to you did 500 years ago, I'd call that misplaced pride.
Heck - you're only half-Flip. What about the other half of your genes? Are you unable to be proud of that either?
Don't worry too much about it; just go to the /asean/ thread and shitpost about how Tagalogs are superior to Visayans or vice versa.
Also don't blindly listen to Sup Forums; I didn't read from that thread but I know from experience that they're prone to generalisations and autism.
Isaac Harris
come to 8/ch.net/suicide for tips and tricks! but first visit 8/ch.net/ebola. she needs some love....
>Also don't blindly listen to Sup Forums; I didn't read from that thread but I know from experience that they're prone to generalisations and autism. seconded this
Dominic Morris
Nice dubs. Pretty much this. Stop listening to Sup Forums and the /asean/ general exists for a reason anyway haha. Pretty sure there's a half flip brit on here anyway.
Evan Brown
Just so you know being hardcore allies with China like Cambodia or Laos or even Pakistan didn't really help their country improving in a satisfactory pace. The best strategy is always standing in the middle ground. Hope you guys won't actually give those part of South Sea out. Btw : ROCs claim of South Sea is a joke and nothing else. Nobody takes it seriously in Taiwan.
Thomas Hill
>Pretty sure there's a half flip brit on here anyway.
he's disgusting, mocking her own mother
Ryan Young
>I take pride in my ching chong ding dong heritage Question: I don't hate being a Chinese but which part do you take pride in being a Chinese ? Culture wise?
Bentley Stewart
his*
Benjamin Hill
What does he say about his mother?
Evan Edwards
"how can I feel proud about my father when he married a brown monkey"
something like that
Easton Baker
Link?
Austin Jackson
one day you're going to be annexed by China, and Hillary won't be able to help you
Jayden Moore
Nah, it was a while ago.
Jose Wood
Not if we annex them first.
Cooper Williams
Alright. I'll take your word on it haha.
Mason Murphy
Glolious histoly FIVE THOUSAND YEAR! Chinese peepur is DESCEND from DRAGON! Yerrow skin and brack eye is sign of HEAVEN-FAVOUR!
As I said earlier, I take pride in my race despite realising how retarded it all is.
That said I love the Chinese language and its dialects. I love the calligraphy. I love the folk music. I love the old paintings and architecture. I love the retarded-ass mythology recorded in the 山海經 that people seriously thought were true. I love the cuisine (before you ask, I've eaten dog, and it was so-so).
This is probably the result of being brought up by Chinese nationalists.
I also hate the PRC and the Commies. Taiwan is a better place. Hopefully it won't be jeopardised by retarded Commies.
Zachary Brooks
As if we wouldn't willingly join PRC when US showing the sign of betraying the treaty.
Kevin Cooper
Good for you I guess. I appreciate ancient Chinese culture as well but won't go so far to say I'm proud of it. After all it wasn't something I take part in building it.
Austin Sullivan
I feel you, bud. My country doesn't have a strong sense of identity either.
There are many ways to define yourself as an individual. Some use nationalism for it. eg. : I AM AN AMERICAN ! I live for freedom of speech and constitutional rights
or
I AM A CONSERVATIVE! I fight for a nuclear family unit and capitalism. (not sure if my examples are politically exact but that's not the point)
And here in Sup Forums (pol and int), heritage and race are big things. Specially on boards with flags, people take pride/shame on being from where they are.
But, as I said, nationalism or politics are just examples of ways to define yourself. You have "your head up your own ass" right now.
There are many other ways to find purpose in life.
I, for an example, believe that he who holds (the right kind of) wisdom and knowledge is very important, perhaps even superior. I also value the practice of keeping one's mind and body healthy. THIS is me. I put "brazilian" in a second plan, when it comes to who I am.
Colton Rivera
Be happy we colonized you and showed you the ways of civilization. You can be grateful about that. Filipo.
Camden Ward
Be proud of this, your people have made it.
It's the Nutshack. It's the Nutshack. It's the Nutshack. It's the Nutshack...
Joshua Murphy
Dickman BABY!
Luis Turner
Isnt this the same thing all mixed race go through tho? You are torn up over who you are, truly, globalism is a cancer. Stop caring so much about needless things and focus on what you want in life instead.
Dominic Gonzalez
this is the part where you start WE WUZZING
Isaiah Torres
Don't feel bad. You have the most beautiful ladyboys in the World. That really takes some well-refined ethnic evolution.
