FWIW. My supervisor's parents are Filipino. They became citizens of the US before he was born (in Guam), and both joined the US military. When he was younger, he found a box of cassettes of his father speaking, reciting individual words. When he asked what it was, his father told him he was recording his speech patterns, working to get rid of his accent.

And though he is of Filipino heritage, he is 100% American. He served proudly in the US Marines (where he rose through the ranks), and he loves this country with all his heart. He despises people who come to America and refuse to assimilate (especially illegals). His hero is James Mattis.
