Jennifer Roberts :

Filipinos are just Asian Latinos, he still gets a pass. They are our colonial cousins.

Xicano :

We take Lou Diamond Phillip over Mario Lopez!

bunnies517 :

Nor is he Native American, he got a lot of work because casting directors back then didn’t care. Esai morales isn’t Mexican either

😒 :

Well they say Filipinos are the mexicans of Asia so in a way he is mexican

VteoL :

nobody was Mexican in the movie

Rachelle Ruge-Bernard :

His mother was Filipina, while his father was an American of Scots-Irish and Cherokee descent. Phillips has said, "I never claimed to be a Native actor, but I do have Native blood."

The Philippines used to be part of Mexico after independence in 1820

Mindset 🎀 :

Lonely soldier :

Mexican isn’t a race it’s a nationality. Like “American”

Rosegoldblkcat :

But he is Filipino. We can claim him o. this merit alone!🥰

NettyNet23 :

Better he played those characters than somebody getting painted down like the actors were subjected to do in the West Side Story 1961 movie. Lou Diamond Phillips's ethnicity is Filipino-American. His mother was Filipina, and his father was an American of Scots-Irish and Cherokee descent

Eliza Sleeper :

I met this man this year. My grandmother still to this day with her dying breath swears that should have been my grandfather. she cried when I showed her pictures of me and him standing next to each other.

Nostalgic Collector :

My family is Mexican and Filipino, grew up in San Fernando and Pacoima during the same time as Ritchie Valens. So it’s all good, because we were all in the same streets and experiencing the same prejudice by others.

Tina Lombard :
