Nonito Donaire: Pinoy or American

You're just a pinoy hater. Nonito is pinoy because he has the pinoy power in his left hook. Worry about your mexican fighters not our pinoy fighters.

 

He went to San Lorenzo high school which is about 2 miles from where I'm posting now and about 6 miles from the Oakland Coliseum. He lists his nationality as Fillipino/American.

BTW: I'm still not sure if you use the "Ph" or "F" to spell fillipino? I've seen it spelled both ways many times :huh

Right now in the East Bay we got two great fighters were proud of the other being Andre Ward :bbb :good

 

like the PBA, he's a "Fil-Am"

 

Born in the Philippines, living in the states now. Only thing making him American is his place of residence.

 

Graduating from an American high school as well :good

 

:deal

 

can he not be both? smh

 

He's 100% Filipino, American Citizen.

 

ok that too:yep

 

oscar's parents were mexican, does that make him mexican 100% ?

oscar is mexican-american.

nonito is pinoy-american.

end thread.

 

Blood is thicker than water. Enough said. America has never been and will never be a homogeneous mixture. Donaire will cling onto his Filipino roots if he had to choose. The ONLY reason people come to this country is for economic opportunity. If you could be just as successful as you are in this country anywhere else in the world, everyone would just move back to their ethnic roots. End of story.

 

Ethnicity = Filipino

Nationality = American

Hence, he is Filipino-American (or Fil-Am for short)

 

THis is not true. I would stay in America.

 

Pinoy.

Real Americans are born here, Tyson, SRL, Mayweather etc.

 

If he's an American citizen, he's both. By the logic of some of you guys, nobody could ever be American because everyone's parents outside of Native Americans are 100% from somewhere else.
