I will end my commentary on the whole issue by simply asking why we think it is perfectly alright for us to do this:

and this:

and even for one of our most respected politicans to say this:

but when anyone dares to poke fun at a segment of our population like
this:

everyone immediately cries racism and discrimination?

There are other forums addressing other issues of concern in Topix or just log on Philippine Forums and we can address these other issues independently.

Like reading a book, we go chapter by chapter. If we are face to face in a debate, a moderator would say:…excuse me, you are OUT OF ORDER!

If we were all seated in a cafe, discussing this issue…wala na…LABO-LABO na ang usapan!!sabay, sabay pa magsalita….labas na ang karamihan.

Anyway, for purposes of ease and clarity, this forum happens to be just one of about 20 forums related to the infamous slur.

a start to end racism in that poor country.poor country,poor attitude and poor discipline.

The PRC will not grant you your licence if you have foreign sounding surname even if your birth certificate and baptismal certificate states that you are Filipino and so are both of your parents? My cousin who was a quarter Chinese and has Chinese surname had to get additional documents just to prove that she is Filipino? Isn’t that institutionalized discrimination?

What’s funny here is that they forgot to define what is a foreign sounding surname! if they are referring to non-native surnames, they should ask Filipinos with Spanish surname addition documents too! But no, people who have Chinese and Anglo surnames(and other surnames but Spanish) are being compelled to submit additional documents to prove their citizenship kahit ilang generations na silang Filipino citizens and nationals! Imagine the burden that our Filipino-Chinese kins go through just because of their Chinese surname na sobrang common din sa Pilipinas. As if naman sa Pilipinas lang matatagpuan ang mga apelyidong Garcia, Cruz, Lopez, Arroyo, de la Cruz, etc…

Let me correct that statement.

An example how such mentality has permeated the Filipino mind

A recent episode in game ka na ba:

One of the contestant was asked abnout the name of her daughter. She said they chaged the supposed THIA to THEA because THIA sounds “Bisaya”. That was in national television and right in front of Edu, who’s part Ilonggo(an ethnic group in the Visayas, just in case you don’t know). It would catch my attention if she said “|kasi hindi magandang pakinggan”. But no, she said “parang Bisaya”.

Does it have to be worldwide that it should only be declared as offensive??

Why is it hasrd for Filipinos to accept their own mistakes? PRIDE? Wrong sense of nationalism

How many times have our media made fun of the Visayans? Of the Igorots? RIGHT IN FRONT OF FELLOW FILIPINOS. Now that kind of discrimination is being practiced by many Filipinos. Many non-Visayans think that all Visayans have a funny accent. Many non-Ilocanos think that the Ilocanos are really ass-stingy and too dark. Now, tell me if it needs to be worldwide to be offensive and discriminatory.

We blow out Desperate Housewives issue out of proportion but we hardly care kung dito sa Pilipinas, Pilipino mismo ang naglalaitan?

What about that racism statement by Miriam Santiago right in front of the Chinese officials and Filipino-Chinese community despite all their contributions to our economy, culture and country! Imagine how the Filipino-Chinese feel that their own kababayans(non-Chinese) are the ones who discriminate on them. Imagine how the Visayans feel that it is their own countrymen who mock them? Many non-Igorots think the Igorots are dirty and barbaric. Many non-Muslims think the Muslims are outrageous.

WHAT ABOUT OUR OWN LOCAL MEDIA APOLOGIZING TO THE PEOPLE THEY’VE MADE FUN OF? WHY ISN’T THERE A PUBLIC APOLOGY?

Double standard it is. Fortunately for Teri hatcher, she’s predominantly Caucasian. If she was black, it is not far from possible that many Filipinos will use that degrading “N” word against her.

Think of the Filipino minorities and indigenous people that our local media and a lot of our countrymen are mocking EVERYDAY?

Double standard, indeed.

I’m not saying that the Filipinos in the medical profession do not have the right to complain. But heck, in the Philippines, the discrimination toward our own people and hardly many Filipinos care at all. Why, is it beacuse it’s okay to make fun of them because hindi naman kayong mga hindi bisaya, hindi Igorot, hindi batangueno, hindi Chinese ang na-ooffend?

How can you say that Filipinos are double standard in THIS particular issue????
The ABC apology was only WRITTEN and BROADCAST in the Philippines…who needs the apology in the Phils?? Not even our President Gloria Arroyo needs it!!!! No one needs to hear the apology here in the Phils.!!
The slur was committed on U.S. television,seen globally by cable television… so, the least ABC can do is apologize ON TV in the UNITED STATES where they hurt most the medical professionals themselves and that would be enough for everybody.
In that way, a broaodcast TV apology in the US will be picked up globally by cable and the ABC error would be rectified properly.

There is no double standard here, sis!!!

Miriam did not go to China to apologize but apologized in the same media forum.

Double standard ang Pinoy.

Some food for thought to digest, certainly.

=D

The ABC apology over the Desperate Housewives slur agst. us(Filipinos)was JUST a written apology transmitted to the Philippines BUT was not aired in the U.S. where the damage was done.!! THAT’S NOT FAIR, is it?

I demand that the apology be said on U.S. national television and also to include deleting the infamous quote from the series.

The apology was carried and broadcast only in the Philippines. Is ABC trying to save face by issuing a selective apology???

NAKAKAAWA TALAGA TAYO. Para tayong LAGAM na kumakagat sa HIGANTE….

@newyorker

you dont have to post that here… I think alam na yan ng mga pinoy since it’s all over the net… and this is a “comment” section.

anyway, just to add, instead na ayusin nila yung pagawaan ng fake diplomas sa Recto (dahil mukhang yun naman talaga ang ugat nyang joke na yan) gagawa na lang sila ng sandamakmak na letter and petition asking for apology since mas madali daw yun at mas makikilala sila ng public or mas maganda tignan sa public pag ganun. LOOOOL

To Chino Aray, este yray:

First, I believe, if you trace your genealogy, your not too far-off only a couple generations from your forefathers who have fled China because of poverty and other forms of injustices that rip the latter of their human dignity. And now, you suck; suckin’ like a LEECH this Phil. economy until it runs dry!

With your pseudonym, I won’t blame you to have such a MYOPIC view of the issue. You ARE CONDEMNED to manifest the GENETIC ABERRATIONS of your FOREFATHERS because of their systemic INVOLUNTARY STARVATION that have deprived them of the necessary nutrients to support LIFE itself.

Well, as a consolacion, some of them have had survived traversing the openseas, as SMUGGLED HUMANS and a palm-full of rice good for a rice-pudding meal of ONE WEEK!

So my two cents to everyone else who have the same view “assed” Mr. Chino here:

1. Don’t to so sensitive – Wait ’till YOUR OWN MOTHER GETS FUCK; or YOUR SISTERS GET GANG BANGED; or YOUR KID BRO GETS MOLESTED!

2. Look at the WORLD within the CONFINES of your PERIMETER FENCE; which you probably have in your house; coz your kind is so DARN PARANOID who have SUCKED everything in the LAND and secure those resources within the closed-confine of your VERY HOUSE; or is it FACTORY? Ahhh, it ALWAYS SEEMED INDISTINGUISHABLE, anyway; so it dosn’t MATTER; Your kind is worth the PIG PEN accommodation. bwhahaha. Please don’t be an AZZ-HOLE!

3. Don’t Particularize things!

Well, ABC writers and producers, are so darn “brilliant” to have the word “some” and people have particularized it to the Recto “thingie.”

Of course, in the U.S., they don’t have a Recto-thingie, beacuse that place is called “ghetto!”

4. Lastly, This is a FREEDOM BOARD, for which someone could freely express their sentiments on certain issues. No matter how simplistic the thoughts of the individual.

The person like Chino yray EVEN GOT the chance TO HAVE HIS VERY VERY MYOPIC VIEW OF THE ISSUE; OWING MUCH FROM HIS DIMINUTIVE MIND; WHICH IN TURN WAS LARGELY DEPENDENT from the SIZE of his BRAIN; WHICH WAS FURTHER contributed by the STUNTED EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS of his FOREFATHERS.

5. So… Bato-bato sa langit, kun matamaan wag mabukol! Heheheheh

discipline you say? Yea you sure know how to wait in lines but what about the other filipinos? remember ultra stampede? What about road discipline? Friggin jeepneys and busses cutting each others ass off

and if jaywalking had a death sentence then there would be 0 pinoys left in this country

discipline?

What about our election scams and cheating in medical exams?

ORLY?

oh and about the “tuta ng kano” thing i wouldnt really want to argue with something as obvious as this.. just go to the US embassy and you will see how much of a pup we are to the americans
