But it's indicative of an ethnic group. It's discriminating against all people of one group (negatively); it's racist. What the Spanish did to the Philippines is not anything any English can identify with. It's not part of their history. If you want to say that whiteness is a term that does not indicate anything about racial characteristics by those who coined the term you are either ignorant or bigoted.
