The reversion of the edit is in error. Ryan Kurosaki was not the first Asian-American in the majors. That was Bobby Balcena in 1956. The article cited from the NY Times is incorrect. Also, Kurosaki couldn't have been recalled" to the majors when it was his first time being called up. Rory1262 (talk) 19:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bad edits[edit]

Let’s please avoid reintroducing errors on this page. As it stands, the facts are now correct about who the first full-blooded Asian in the majors was: Bobby Balcena, not Kurosaki. Rory1262 (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Filipino isn't asian, it's Pacific Islander and hispanic mix.

As for whether Filipinos are Asian or Pacific Islanders, there are two schools of thought. It's not definitive that they are Pacific Islanders, and there is plenty to support that they are Asian. Your statement is a matter of opinion rather than fact. May I suggest that you read some of the various articles that have been posted on this topic?

To avoid the back and forth, and acknowledging that my view is also more opinion than definable fact, I offer a compromise. Rory1262 (talk) 21:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
