But if dude never lived in the Philippines or wasn't VERY deeply immersed in Filipino culture, I'd be highly resistant to going along with his identification.
You can resist all you want. You can't stop other people from choosing how they identify themselves. If she's not hurting anyone, who cares.

There are white people who are Filipino, as in genetically Filipino. Unless your brain automatically considers being white and being Filipino to be mutually exclusive.
