  1. actually funny thing about the Chinese Exclusion Act is that it did have a loophole and yes, it was in the philippines where the loophole was and no, it wasn't about native filipinos, it was about chinese filipinos in the philippines lol. since the philippines already had chinese filipinos long residing for centuries in the philippines and then the philippines became ruled by the United States that had the chinese exclusion act in effect, chinese migration into the philippines was conditionally allowed for family of chinese filipino merchant families so what many chinese migrants did from fujian province where most chinese filipinos come from was that their relatives in the philippines would legally adopt them lol and use their local chinese filipino family surnames when in fact their real surnames are of a different character lol, so if you go to the manila chinese cemetery for many elderly people born during american colonial era in the philippines, you will see that for many people, their latin letter surname does not match their family name character in their chinese name. also, some families bribed government officials in the philippines to basically buy local hispanic surnames so many ethnic chinese filipino families in the philippines also use common hispanic surnames in the philippines despite technically being pure or majority ethnic chinese lol
