As a fellow 808 resident, I have heard from a lot of Filipinos that they aren't Asian. But they have always been young Fililipino-Americans, never the older generation. Ask someone who's actually from the Philippines; they would probably be offended to be classified as anything other than Asian.
For some reason the younger generation doesn't want to be associated with East Asians, and think that being P.I. is cooler. However, these people don't understand their own ethnic heritage.
Also no, Fergie is 1/4 Mexican. Definitely not Filipino. The other guy in BEP is Filipino, though.
