Pinoy
''Pinoy'' is an informal demonym referring to the Filipino people in the Philippines and overseas Filipinos around the world. The term, though in popular usage, is still considered by most Filipinos as a racial slur and derogatory. It dates to the early 20th century when American soldiers in the Philippines mockingly called Filipinos as "''Pee-Noys''". An unspecified number of Filipinos refer to themselves as ''Pinoy'' or sometimes the feminine ''Pinay''.〔 The word is formed by taking the last four letters of ''Filipino'' and adding the diminutive suffix -y in the Tagalog language (the suffix is commonly used in Filipino nicknames: "Ninoy" or "Noynoy" for Benigno (Jr. and III respectively), "Totoy" for Augusto, etc.). ''Pinoy'' was used for self-identification by the first wave of Filipinos going to the continental United States before World War II and has been used both in a pejorative sense as well as a term of endearment similar to ''Chicano''. Although ''Pinoy'' and ''Pinay'' are still regarded as derogatory by some Filipinos, the terms are widely used and gaining mainstream usage.
''Pinoy'' was created to differentiate the experiences of those immigrating to the United States but is now a slang term used to refer to all people of Filipino descent.〔 Mainstream usages tend to center on entertainment (''Pinoy Big Brother'') and music (''Pinoy Idol'') which has played a significant role in developing national and cultural identity. Pinoy music impacted the socio-political climate of the 1970s and was employed by both Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and the People Power Revolution that overthrew his regime. It is more positive than the slang term "flip".
==Origins==
According to Filipino American historian Dawn Mabalon, the earliest appearance of the terms Pinoy and Pinay was in a 1926 issue of the Filipino Student Bulletin. The article that featured the terms is titled "Filipino Women in U.S. Excel in Their Courses: Invade Business, Politics."〔Dawn Mabalon, Little Manila is in the Heart (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2013), 20, 37.〕
