“My brother is married to a Filipina and she has assimilated very well...”
I’m not an expert on that culture, but (to me) they seem to be a cross between the Japanese/Chinese and Hispanics (i.e., they get into revolutionary excitement a bit too quick, without thinking it through). Couple that with their use of Spanish, of which the Dems own at this point, and they’ll probably be the hardest Asian group for us to get to.

You got the 1st part right. However..
Filipinos do NOT speak Spanish. It just happens to be that they were occupied for 400 years by the Spaniards that they refused to completely inherit the Spanish language. SOME Spanish words got into their everyday language like “silya” (chair), “mesa” (table)..basic Spanish stuff but 90% of Tagalog language is a mix of Chinese, Indonesian. etc.
On their “victimhood mentality”. Cant blame them for it. They were occupied by Spaniards for 400 years, Americans for 40 years and the Japs for 4 years. They were everyone’s b*tch unfortunately.
