[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] BTW, Pharell Williams Filipino background was found on the internet and later shown to be false. [QUOTE] One of my goals for FLPNO.com was to raise awareness for people in the news who people may not know come from Filipino descent. So, as part of my preparation for launching the site, I started researching celebrities who were at least part-Filipino. In my research, I came across – from multiple sources – information that possibly the most famous musician alive at this very moment, Pharrell Williams, was Filipino. First, I saw it on Wikipedia... It seems like we’re so eager to find something or someone to be proud of sometimes that we don’t do our due diligence anymore. The person that I felt the worst for in all of this was Pharrell’s real mom. Dr. Carolyn Williams is a retired educator with over 30 years of experience whom Pharrell credits so much of his success to. She also sits on the board of From One Hand to Another, a non-profit charitable organization founded by Pharrell Williams with the goal of helping children one kid at a time. But, as a Filipino people, we don’t need to claim Pharrell Williams as one of our own. We can claim his partner, Chad Hugo, or one of the countless other Filipinos who are doing amazing things. That’s why I hope to feature those people on this very site. And, for what it’s worth, personally, I still like Pharrell.[/QUOTE] http://www.flpno.com/2014/04/07/breaking-news-pharrell-williams-still-filipino/ That said, the underlying issue here is the strong resemblance between Pharell and some actual Filipino people past and present cannot be denied.... Hence this, which I posted on the original black Asian thread back when Pharrel was still sporting the hat: [IMG]http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/SEAiT/data/images/bruner/large/ph30038l.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5554/14711901182_0d902d8fab_b.jpg[/IMG] At that time I coudn't find any info on Pharrell's mom and no images. But now that she has a bit more of a public image, you can clearly see she wouldn't look out of place in many parts of Asia, which reinforces the point about "black" features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKtE-RIrIgg And here is Pharrell in the hat again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ7rZRFNF-o [/QB][/QUOTE]
