I was looking at their Facebook profiles online, and it said so right there that they're both part Filipino. So I wasn't even the one who brought it up. <BR/><BR/>Yes, if you're going to ask ethnicity, it should always be in an appropriate situation/context. But in this case, I didn't even ask. And I didn't have to. They seem pretty open about it (but I still didn't know it until years after I met them).Cristobalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100460684403284240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31192772.post-11138464636111247842007-09-10T19:26:00.000-07:002007-09-10T19:26:00.000-07:00I'm a firm believer that asking ethnicty is none o...I'm a firm believer that asking ethnicty is none of your business. It's different if you're getting married and want to know the heritage of your own children. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise a person will tell you their ethnicty if they want to. Let them make the decision. Don't make it for them.<BR/><BR/>There are times when one could bring it up. If they start talking about the Philippines everyday, say words in Tagalog weekly, cook pancit for you, well yeah, go ahead and ask. But if the person is not giving you any "clues" why bother?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
