filipino/black

Since the Philippines were colonized by the Spanish, it's possible that many Filipinos have Spanish bloodlines. Maybe those genetics surface/become stronger when there's a bi/multiracial child. I mean, say you have a Filipino/Filipina with some dormant Spanish (Caucasian) genetics, has a child with a Caucasian, that might mean there are more white genes than Asian. Or even a Filipino/Filipina with an African American, who would likely have white (or non-african/black) genes in the bloodline as well.

All in all, genetics in multiracial individuals is a funny thing (like a box of chocolates?). You never can be sure what the children will look like.

That said, I think a lot of mixed people get tossed into the "look latino" group probably because their features are not easy to categorize. Many have dark hair, olive/brown/caramel skin. They don't look quite white and they don't look quite black(which is how society, unfortunately, likes to peg people either black or white). So they get lumped in with "the third ethnicity," the one that is also, not quite white, not quite black. Or at least the stereotypical "third ethnicity" look. I mean there's a stereotypical "Latino look," but Latinos can run a gamut of what they look like too, from completely white to completely black.

Filipinos may also have African/black blood.

And white people are not pure. They also have can have Indian or African/black blood also.
