Talk:Lou Diamond Phillips

message: I'm certainly glad that LDP has finally been recognized for who he is.  The blinders are off ... let the revolution begin!
As one of very few humans to have visited Io (home of those-who-shall-remain-nameless), I rejoice that I no longer have to live life clandestinely and can now await the rising of our indignation like a philosophical tsunami of biblical proportions.
Reptilian subverters, consider yourselves warned.  As the Japanese recognized at the start of WWII (in which LDP fought so brilliantly), you have awakened a sleeping giant.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.54.84.211 (talk) 22:24, 2 February 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed Hawaiian since it is misleading, making people believe that Lou Diamond Phillips is of 'Oiwi ancestry.
In the past, someone mistook his ties to the Hawaiian islands as being of Hawaiian ancestry.  Since most people do not recognize our nationality, we'll keep it simple and just omit "Hawaiian".

replies: text: Seems that an anonymous user 24.130.117.205 added in "Hawaiian" again.  Unless you can prove by stating how he get his Hawaiian ancestry of which we know he has no Hawaiian ancestor, I'd stop adding it in.  Keep in mind that unless we're talking about Hawaiian Nationality, then I'd understand but Lou Diamond was not born in Hawaii.  Many people today use "Hawaiian" as an ethnicity which was imposed by the U.S.  That means any descendant of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778.  We refer to that as 'Oiwi.

replies: text: Now I was able to verify through Lou Diamond's uncle, his father's half brother Arthur Bowden Upchurch how Gerald was born in Henry County, Georgia & that family have been in Georgia going back to their Great-great-grandfather Claburn Upchurch, and that they do have Scottish, Irish & Cherokee ancestry.  Not Hawaiian. Mamoahina (talk) 00:29, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
