I've always compared Asian cultures and Hispanic cultures similarly, with all the sub groups, but only against the black white stereotypes that dominate America. In Houston, white is a minority technically, and I experience a good deal of Hispanic culture. With the very few Filipino people I've met, out here they've been mistaken for Mexican often, so that's how I imagine their whole culture being taken to easily. The fact that differentiating between Cambodian Chinese Malaysian Vietnamese Taiwanese I get too confused, Guatemalan, Puertoriqueño, El Salvadoreño, it's the same issue. So, with America and general colonialization around the world, I can see how the Philippines would take easily to Hispanic culture, since Spain was a major player in spreading thems elves out.
I don't see the Hispanic specifically influence though through the three poems, especially since it's in English, and mentions an American actress. I can see this same poem as a Spanish woman writing in English with Portuguese strewn throughout and I wouldn't know the difference because I don't know malaysian, Portuguese, or Filipino.
I do love learning new things and am also interested in others opinions on this.
