I heard that term &quot;Flip&quot; before, but I heard it was supposedly derogatory. Not sure why. I mean I've heard other filipinos use that term.

By the way, I'm filipino and I consider myself asian/pacific islander... and never considered myself oriental.

I've heard some say &quot;I'm not asian, I'm pacific islander...&quot; then which I reply, &quot;I'm not asian, I'm western pacific beacher&quot;

I'm Chinese (7/8) and Malaysian (1/8) so I have a nice skin tone (not too dark nor light).

haha agreed

asians are inclusive of indians and middle east to me, i prefer orientals as a chinaman

East Russians are Asians too, isn't orient the meaning of far east?

Russia east of the Ural mountains is part of Asia, west of it is Europe. If you look at some Russians, they are blond with chinky blue eyes
