Tekken 7 is a thing...

I'll think of her as Tekken's Talim.

Filipinos believe it or not did originate from Spaniards which is why they're a bit tanned for Asians. The language Tagalog has similar words that are Spanish-like. Thus, Filipino friends of mine can sometimes get mistaken as Mexican or whatever.

This is a common misconception. In reality only a little under 5% of all Filipinos have any Spanish blood, and only 3% of the population claims some degree of Spanish heritage. The thing is that Filipinos of European ancestry are very wealthy and influential, and thus are over represented (just like white Mexicans). Their influence and wealth also explains why the native Tagalog and Visayan languages and cultures have Spanish influences.

As you said though, she's probably mixed. Or, you know, anime. Like Jin, who doesn't really look either Japanese or white.

Wait. Huh? Mixing in Mexico is far more widespread, partly owing to the nature of the colonization effort in both areas and partly owing to influxes of immigrants from not just spain, but also germany, poland, ireland and other places. Speaking as somebody who hails form dirt poor light skinned mexicans I think you have a few misconceptions here.

I am latin american myself, and I know what you're saying but that's not what I mean. My comment about Mexico is that even though White Mexicans (not the mestizo majority, but the full blooded ethnic European minority) account for less than 10% of the population, they completely dominate the media and culture.

The average novela cast looks like this:

Which is clearly not representative of how most people from our countries look. But ever since colonial times this has been considered the ideal look because it implies European ancestry, which almost unequivocally means money. The same goes for any former European colony, be it Bolivia, South Africa, or the Philippines.
