“A lot of Hawaii is owned by the Japanese and the natives are Polynesian so that could make it a part of Asia!”

There’s a LOT of Phillipino’s in Kauai.

Never heard of a Phillipino, but I have many Filipino friends. Read the next paragraph for rthe reason.

If you are asking why Filipino instead of Philipino when the Philippines is spelled with a “ph”, the answer lies with the old name for Philippines. When the country was first colonized by Spain, they give the archipelago the name “Las Islas Filipinas” and its inhabitants “Filipinos”. When it was American’s turn to colonize the country, it was renamed “Philippines”. However, the term “Filipino” stuck.
