His reasons for identification are spiritual bullshit, saying he feels his soul connects with Filipino culture on a subconscious level.
I don't think there's anything controversial about the story though, it's just a crazy guy who seems to be unhappy in his own skin, so he's trying to be this other human who is happy, his mothers Filipina friend.
Yeah I was going to say the same. I feel really bad for him. Seems like he really just wants to be someone else bc he isn't happy with himself/his life.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
