Some have 100% Chinese blood, while others are mestiza/os with 50% or 25% Chinese blood, or of Chinese descent but are several generations removed) $w (DLC)2022053942
670					$a The evolution of 'Chinoy' branding via Philippine Daily Inquirer, January 28, 2022, viewed December 13, 2022 $b (Chinoy is the Taglish spelling of our preferred Tsinoy to mean Tsinong Pinoy or Chinese Filipino: natatanging Pinoy na dugong Tsinoy, a Filipino in identity tracing racial origins and heritage to their Chinese ancestry; In the early '70s, Ateneo sociologist Bernard Go proposed that the ethnic Chinese born and bred in the Philippines should be considered a cultural minority of the Philippines and should be given a separate identity other than alien Chinese; Go coined the word Pinsino. In late '70s, it was changed to Sinpino to mean Sino-Pilipino; In the 1990s Kaisa Para Sa Kaunlaran popularized the use of Tsinoy, to mean Tsinong Pinoy or Chinese Filipino-one who is Filipino socially, economically and politically but of mixed Chinese and Filipino in cultural heritage. The identity is Pinoy and the modifier is Tsino or Chinese; Today, Tsinoy has been formally adopted to refer to Filipinos of Chinese origins, differentiating them from the Chinese who happen to be in the Philippines) $u https://business.inquirer.net/339675/the-evolution-of-chinoy-branding

Authorized terms and variants should all be in the plural form, and none of the proposed headings/variants follows this. The sources document the term "Tsinong Pinoy", but a variant wasn't made for it.  Also, an inverted form should be made from the first and fourth variants.  I believe the correct heading and variants would be:

150  Tsinoys
450  Chinese Filipinos
450  Chinoys
450  Filipinos, Chinese
450  Pilipinos, Sino-
450  Pinoys, Tsinong
450  Pinsinos
450  Sino-Pilipinos
450  Sinpinos
450  Tsinong Pinoys

Finally, if the feminine form is also permitted as a variant: 450  Tsinays

The issue of whether feminine variants are allowed is a question that needs resolving and documenting in the LCDGT manual.  We have proposed numerous headings that could have a feminine variant, but have been putting those in cataloger notes rather than in 450s because we don't know if they are allowed.  They were not included as variants in the initial phase of LCDGT authority creation, and the manual isn't clear about whether only the masculine plural in other languages is permitted.  For example:

French
UF	Français

There could also be another UF Françaises for the feminine plural.

Bolivians
UF	Bolivianos

The feminine plural form is Bolivianas.
