	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Imscf syndrome
		IMSCF Syndrome is a controversial non-academic term that relates to a widely observed but scarcely formally documented phenomenon of identity crisis first observed amongst some overseas Filipino with no Spanish or Chinese ancestry; but also prevalent in their ancestral homeland of the Philippine, resulting in a unique form of institutionalized ethnic or ancestral forgery.
		The continuing prevalence of the syndrome is attributed to the negative mentalities of some peoples of the Philippines and to the lack, or invisibility, of native Filipino role models in the United States or abroad for expatriate Filipino communities.
		The continuing prevalence of the syndrome is attributed to the negative international image of the Philippines and to the lack, or invisibility, of Filipino role models in America or abroad for expatriate Filipino communities.

		IMSCF Syndrome specifically refers to the tendency of many Filipinos, when questioned about their ancestry and national origin, to recite the phrase "I'm Spanish, Chinese, Filipino".
		The origins of the syndrome, however, can be traced further back in history to the already existing colonial mentality phenomenon of the Philippines, and can be viewed as a manifestation of this mentality taken on a new form in their new places of residence.
		Because of IMSCF Syndrome, there is unfortunately a not too uncommon view held of Filipinos as lacking pride in their Filipino origins.#redirect [[Template:Fact]] They may sometimes be seen as being all to readily anxious in classifying themselves as anything other than Filipino, or at the very least not as a pure Filipino.

		I was reading online about Filipinos (I'm half pinoy) and filipino culture and stuff and I came across this article about a syndrome called IMSCF syndrome.
		Apparently what it means is "I'm Mixed Spanish, Chinese, Filipino" Syndrome and it's a syndrome whereby Filipinos claimed to be mixed with Spanish and Chinese.
		And they actually conducted a survey to see how many Filipinos actually have Spanish or Chinese blood and they concluded that it was only about 2% of Filipinos that had any mixed blood.
