Hispanic and Filipino aren't mutually exclusive. Remember the history of the Philippines. The "Phillip" they were named after was Spanish. It used to be a Spanish colony.In the USA a "Hispanic" (it is an American term) is a South American from Spanish speaking countries (some were in the USA before any American settlers arrived) , they can be 100% Spanish ancestry, 100% African ancestry, 100% Indian ancestry, and everything in between all three. Catholic men in the Americas always married other Catholics with no regard to race, so there's a big mix.
That's why the Philippines is majority Catholic (albeit Novus Ordo) to this day.
Anyhow, as far as this man being Filipino, I'm just repeating what others have said. That could be incorrect, but not the main point: He's not white. He's not the poster boy for "the legions of middle class white Trump supporters out there" who, they allege, could commit a terrorist act at any time.
If having less than fully-brown skin makes one "white", then all Asians are white. And that, of course, would be crazy.
Is it just me or does this guy look very feminine? His skin is well cared for and I don't see a hint or shadow of whiskers. His eyebrows look "done".His expression quite prissy. This is just speculation but this looks like a face primed for make-up.Maybe a drag queen? Just a thought..
PS -ALL of those photos look like they were taken at the same time ( no age difference) with slightly different hair and penciled in eyebrows.

the media can tell that story to Americans because to them everybody who is not "blond haired and blue" is Filipino/African/Moslem/……

I concurred with your observation. I told my wife what you said, and she advised me that the man, Cesar Sayoc's occupation is a male stripper.

Not sure if you meant this as broadly as you stated it, but, up until very recently, no one - Catholic or otherwise - married anyone "with no regard to race." Miscegenation occurred more frequently in Latin America than in North America, and from earlier on, true (due to vast numbers of Spanish men stationed there, with no Spanish women to marry), but it was by no means done indifferently (I used Americas because the Spanish in what later became part of the USA did marry Indians. You are correct that for the most part they married outside of their race because there were too few Spanish women, the same as Americans out West married Indians. Also, they married Indians and blacks because they were promiscuous. In the Catholic countries of Latin America, people tend to marry in their class, which Americans never mention. You will find that in Latin America, people marry in their class, and that the race is secondary, and today religion is third if that. ) I meant. Where possible, whites still tended to marry whites, negroes tended to marry negroes, Indians married Indians, etc. Certainly in North America, where no such necessity existed for any extended period of time, Catholics did not enter into marriages "with no regard to race." Irish tended to marry Irish, Germans married Germans, etc. Eventually, marriage between Catholics of different European ethnic stocks became common, but a white Catholic marrying entirely outside his or her race (i.e. a Negro or an Oriental) was all but unheard of until relatively recently. A German father in early 20th Century New York, for example, would most certainly not have given his daughter over to, say, a Nigerian, Catholic or not, in marriage "with no regard to race."My comments in red.
Racial indifferentism / "colorblindness" is a recent social disease, endemic to Baby Boomers and later generations (but especially entrenched in Boomers). There's a reason the "racist grandparent" trope exists. We all had them, Catholics too. Only they weren't called "racist" then (that invented Marxist "sin" didn't enter the lexicon until the 1930s). They were simply realists. In all matters, race included.
Yeah, that darn pro-white media. (I meant it as a humorous remark, as Americans do not know how to differentiate between the different Latin Americans, which I can. It would be the same thing for me if we were talking about Orientals, and I was debating with an Oriental. They can distinguish the details. I would consult them.)
I do not watch the news media circus, I was just responding to Matthew's thread. I concurred with your observation. I told my wife what you said, and she advised me that the man, Cesar Sayoc's occupation is a male stripper.I agree with all points.
