Vanessa Hudgens Is ... Filipino

So the other day Denmark Vesey was broadcasting his usual ignorance by characterizing the Vanessa Hudgens nude picture scandal as the "White Chick Crucifixion Of The Week".

I'm like - Denmark - now mind you I'm not the TOP expert on ethnic identifications, but I have a very strong suspicion this young lady isn't White - at least not by conventional standards.

Turns out I was right.

Turns out Vanessa Anne Hudgens is Filipino.

Now, I was thinking maybe Italian or possibly even 1/2 European-American - 1/2 South Asian.

(Calm yourself, Crankshaft.)

But, nope, turns out Vanessa's somewhat exotic looks come from her mother, Gina Guangco, who is from the Phillipines.

Vanessa was quoted as saying, "I am so proud of my heritage. I love being a Filipina. There aren’t very many Filipino girls in the industry. So being able to stand up and be that girl makes me proud. My mother is so proud. She grew up in Manila."

Yeah ... I wonder if her mother is so proud of Vanessa taking buck-naked pictures of herself that somehow get "leaked" all over the Internet.

Well ... one mystery solved ...
