      No, she’s not Mexican. But I’ve noticed that a lot of people who are half-Asian and half-white look Hispanic so that’s probably where that comes from. For example, I always thought Vanessa Hudgens was Mexican (she even plays a Hispanic character in HSM) but she’s half Filipino and half Caucasian, like Nicole Anderson.

      Thought she was Mexican too. Some Eurasians look hella Mexican.

    Filipino is a nationality. Filipinos in the Philippines have separate ethnicities like Tagalog,Cebuano,Ilocano,Bicolano and a lot more. They pretty have separate ethnic identities.
