Yes. Why would I troll? What would I gain from that?
I just don't get this logical fallacy in thinking that its fine for some Amerindians to look like SE Asian or Filipino but its a big issue if some Amerindians to look like NE Asians or Siberians.
East Asian looks are very too foreign for us, I think he just misinterpret your post.

I actually wish you guys saw more Filipinos, other Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders in Latin America and Caribbean Islands because that would make it feel more like USA. Funny, I'm only kidding. There are a lot of Filipinos who work at Caribbean Cruises and they are allowed to visit the islands and spend some time with the local Caribbean people. Filipinos make up nearly 16% of Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship.
Plus there are several Filipinos who are seamen around the world including Caribbean Islands and they represent 25% of the total population.
And Caribbean people that resides near the ports where Cruise Ships dock at would have seen a bunch of Filipino cruise ship workers by now however they probably weren't aware that they were actually seeing Filipinos. Also several tourist that visit the Caribbean Islands are also Filipinos. As mentioned by you before, it's quite rare to see Filipinos in Latin America.
Chinese in Latin America are buying things left and right. A lot of them are sex tourists too like Europeans. We have a negative view of them. I wish they would leave LATAM along with their fishing boats.
For Filipinos, generally, we don't have anything against the Philippinos. Mi Casa Es Tu Casa

Southeast Asians especially Filipinos and Pacific Islanders have similar cultural and physical characteristics to Latinos. Also some Filipinos and Pacific Islanders grew up with Latinos also which may explain why they prefer to be compared with us than other Asians.
Only Latinos in the USA Papi, most of us in LATAM & the Caribbean never seen a Philippino in real life. There are more Chinese in the LATAM & Caribbean than Southeast Asians. most of us see Philippinos as brown Chinos generally. But overall Philippinos are easy to like because they are not weird and nerdy like the Chinese.
Actually there are Filipinos in Mexico, Some of the Filipinos can be mistaken as a Mexican instead of a chino.
Only some, A big chunk of them look Chinese to me.

Some pure Filipinos could pass up easier as Mexican Indian than East Asian without a doubt. Several Filipino Mestizos could pass up as Mexican Mestizos.
Pure Filipinos
Filipino Mestizos
I think the majority of the Filipino is a mix of this
and between this
