Tekken 7 is a thing...

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.

Ah now I hear you. Fairly said man.
 
Why would the Filipin goverment complain about a characters name in a game?

Do the goverment made an statement or what? and if it did it...why?
 
The reason why the government is pissed is because the character is named after one of their national heroes. I guess that's considered an insult to their culture and heritage.
