On Racial purity




In order to improve the race in Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Dominican Republic,  "racial whitening" has been promulgated by the government to invite Europeans to settle in these countries. It is a deliberate effort to maintain the dominance of white race. However, this propaganda is to eliminate the Black race.

Miscegenation is defined as the interbreeding of people considered to be of different racial types.

Unlike the case in South America, miscegenation in the Philippines is a product of cohabitation or marriage with other nationality. Ten percent of the Philippine population is outside the Philippines which translate approximately to 10 million. Out of that 10 million living in more than 80 countries in the world, cohabitation cannot be contained.

In beauty pageant, every time a "Eurasian" Filipina is being crowned, there is always a clamor among fan that "she is not pure" as in the case of Pia Wurtzbach. In 2011 to 2014, Miss World Philippines has always sent in a delegate of mixed race. Other Filipinos would argue that there is no such thing as "pure Filipino" because the basis was from the fact that the "pure Filipinos" are the Negritos or the Aetas. But it’s as if to say also that the "pure Americans" are the American Indians or the Mohicans and "pure Australians" are the "Australian aborigines" if that is the case.

Again, unlike the case of South America were Europeans are invited for miscegenation purposes, the result of mixture of race in the Philippines is a result of exodus of millions of Filipinos in search of greener pasture abroad. It is of no wonder that for this year, three candidates has Filipino blood in them:
  


Cloie Syquia is the daughter of Jenny Syquia (Filipino-American) and Filipino actor Gabby Concepcion. That makes her 75% Filipino by virtue of genetics (same case as that of Alden Richards). The Swedish citizenship she has was from his Swedish stepfather thus to say that she is Swedish-American-Filipino is a misnomer.

Pauline Dawson by virtue of her last name, I guess that his father was of White race and it is her mother who is of Philippine descent which makes her 50% Filipino by virtue of genetics. This is the same case as Solenn Heusaff.

Audra Dianne Marie claimed that his grandfather was from the Philippines as evident on her pictures. That makes her a third generation of Filipino lineage where the percentage of Filipino genes is reduced to just 25% (the same case as Enrique Iglesias and Nicole Scherzinger). Audra was first runner up at Miss USA 2014. Although, she was crowned in a separate pageant for Miss World USA, this is the first time since 1991 that a first runner up from Miss USA pageant will be sent to Miss World.
  
Usually, it is the female who has the propensity to marry other nationality but there are Filipino males also who are marrying White females as in the case of James Yap and John Soberano.

With the advent of internet, it is expected that more inter-marriages is set to come and hopefully, it is a product of love and not of racial discrimination.
