Both my parents are filo, but i was born in Australia. (pic of me: https://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs467.ash1/25652_1395668613364_1281678514_31136191_1316514_n.jpg I’m not very filo looking >_<). Lately i feel ‘in superior’ to other Asians, because some often categorize us as pacific islanders. We are pretty Asian.
But i don’t feel that proud of being a filo. My boyfriend and his friends are Chinese and Taiwanese. They often mistaken me as their own and start talking mandarin to me, then i have to clear things up by telling them my actual nationality.
Basically i feel somewhat left out, and nothing to proud of my country. I feel that we’re looked down upon by other Asians as poor, selfish, gold diggers.
I think i just want some words of wisdom to cheer me up and enlighten me. Because i actually want to embrace my nationality >_<!
