Why no Michelle Malkin on the list?

Michelle MalkinThere are so many top list in the cropping up Philippine blogosphere nowadays and it’s a good thing because it allows us to discover the yet un-discovered. It also gives us a different perspective, depending on who’s creating the list and what that list represents.

However, if you regularly visited all these lists, you will see almost the same trend — the same names keep making it on the top, except for several bloggers who wanted to keep their identity a secret (nobody even knows what’s Bryanboy’s real name or if he’s really just 17).

There’s also one other very distinct similarity — not one of these top lists includes Filipina blogger and columnist Michelle Malkin. I just read her on Business Week just now being listed as one of the 14 top earners in the blogosphere.

So, I went over and checked her Wikipedia entry:

Michelle Malkin (née Maglalang) (born October 20, 1970) is an American columnist, blogger, author and political commentator. She is a social and political conservative who makes frequent guest appearances on national syndicated radio programs and on television networks such as MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and C-SPAN. As well as her written blog, she posts regular video blogs. Her syndicated column “appears in nearly 200 newspapers nationwide.”

Malkin was born in Philadelphia to Filipino parents, Dr. Apolo and Rafaela Maglalang. Her maternal grandfather fought under General Douglas MacArthur.[2] She grew up in Absecon, New Jersey, and graduated from Oberlin College. In 1993, she married Jesse Malkin, a Rhodes Scholar and RAND Corporation economist. They have two children.

Clearly, she’s Filipina of Filipino descent. She also blogs about the Philippines and links to other Filipino bloggers. She’s also in Technorati’s Popular 100 list, number 11 to be exact, so I’m pretty sure a lot of people know her.

But why isn’t she on our list?

    Because she’s an embarrassment, not just to Filipino-Americans, but to all Asian-Americans. I prefer to believe she doesn’t actually believe all the sh** she says. Like most of the Fox News babies, they’re just using the notoriety to make money. A lot of money. But then again, what did you expect from neocons, really?

    I SENT A HER A MESSAGE re: ASIAN RACISM and her BITCHINESS. (Sorry for the typo. katamad ayusin eh.)

    I just found out yesterday that you are indeed part Filipino. What I don’t understand about you is that you are placing us Filipinos in a very unlikely position as far as racism is concerned. As a matter of fact, my young nephews and nieces have been telling me that they are being harassed and picked on re:”Are you related to that RACIST Malkin girl on the tv? Mom mother told me she said that Asians unable to speak English are dumb are you her sister? You guys have the same flat nose and ugly eyes.”

    Now, if it isn’t clear for you. I hope this message makes it clear enough: STOP BEING A STEREOTYPICAL AND UNETHICAL WOMAN, FILIPINOS WOULD’VE ROOOTED FOR YOU BUT INSTEAD YOU’RE JUST ANOTHER GIRL ON TV MAKING FILIPINOS LOOK HILARIOUS, OR DEEMED STUPENDOUS BECAUSE OF YOUR RIDICULOUSLY IMMORAL CHARACTER.

    You might think you have what it takes to be called “MISS SMARTY-PANTS” for being able to speak English very well, but guess what. YOU ARE NOT EVEN A NOTCH HIGHER THAN POOR FARMERS IN “OUR” COUNTRY. Just because you were born or raised in the US doesn’t mean that you got what it takes to be on par with other people on the HIGH SOCIETY or whatever A SMARTY PANTS like you want to call it.

    If I were you, I’d go to BREMBO right now and consult my mouth for needing A brake installation SO YOU CAN control what pops out of your ridiculous mouth. Just so you know, so many Filipinos hate you right now and are not proud of you, I MEAN WHO WOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR “FEL-LOW” KABABAYAN WHO THINKS THAT PROBABLY HER RELATIVES WHO CANNPT SPEAK ENGLISH WON’T UNDERSTAND HER OR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE A GOODLIFE FOR BEING ACADEMICALLY INCOMPETENT? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF YOU RACIST PRICK!

    That’s all for now.

    P.S. DON’T YOU SASS ME WITH YOU ENGLISH BECAUSE ‘M PRETTY SURE I CAN HANDLE YOURS. I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SET EVEN A SINGLE FOOT IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT ATLEAST WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DO SO, I’M STILL WELL EDUCATED AND I CAN VERY MUCH SPEAK ENGLISH AND PROBABLY HAVE “A GOOD FUTURE FOR BEING ABLE TO SPEAK AND READ ENGLISH VERY WELL.”

    Oh, and one more thing. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. You should’ve put your brain to good use. YOU WAR FREAK.
