I have started to only kind of learn about "Latinx" and "Pilipinx", and I was wondering how you know if you are one??? Because it's a little confusing for me to wrap my head around. I am Filipino, (and young, which probably is what makes this harder for me to understand im sorry) and trying to understand. Sorry to cause any trouble, I didn't see anything that says "you are (this) if you're (this)." Anyways, thank you, sorry again to cause you trouble!

Much like Latinx, being Pilipinx is a term to define ethnicity--not race. There is no such thing as a “Filipino race”. Race =/= ethnicity like for example, Filipino people and Vietnamese people are Asian but Filipinos are not Vietnamese--these are ethnical differences.

Being Latinx works pretty much the same way. Adding in languages, regional differences and cultures, both definitions function the same way for both regions of the world.

I think being Pilipinx really comes down to how you identify. There are a million and one ways to be Pilipinx. Something I talked about recently was the concept of the Philippines not being a monolith so some Pilipinxs many not want to reclaim speaking Tagalog or learning it because it is not their parents’ languages. Tagalog Filipinos and Ilocano Filipinos are both Filipino but speak different languages, have different cultures, ways of cooking food, ways of living life despite their common title. Pilipinx-Americans are different from Pilipinxs in Canada, from European Pilipinxs, and all are different from Pilipinxs growing up and raised in the Philippines. National Filipinxs are different from ethnic Filipinxs- meaning those who were born or rasied in the Philippines but not having Filipinx parents. 

Again, there’s really so many ways one can be Filipinx. Half Filipinx, grandparents were Filipinx, both your parents are Filipinx, you are 1st generation to the States, you are 4th-5th generation in Canada, you could be a navy kid and moved around your whole life, you could never have learned your parents’ language, you could have never visited the Philippines, you don’t eat Filipino food--the possibilities of what it means to be Pilipinx are endless. 

I guess the best advice is to see how others identify themselves? How they embrace (or sometimes, how they reject) their Filipinx identity and then try to figure out how it works with you. There is no sure way of it- just a lot of self-reflection and meeting others who share similar stories to yours. 

Hope this advice helps!
