Note: List of TV series and movies referring to Filipinos.
A recent episode of popular TV series Desperate Housewives (season 4) made a joke about medical schools in the Philippines that has been the cause for outrage by a lot of Filipinos.
See the short YouTube clip here:
The line goes “Okay. Before going further, can I check these diplomas cause I would just like to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines?–.
Frankly, I found it funny, knowing a lot of people especially students go to Recto to fix their academic problems. Still, a lot of people have found this bit of humor offensive and racist.
Learned about this from Michelle Malkin (via a trackback) who shares her own take on the matter.

howdy blogger, first of all thanks for putting up a nice blog like %BLOGINTITLE%. i definitely hate the fact that bloggers these days focus a lot more on making money and fill their blogs with irritating adverts.. i liked the way you’ve arranged all of the content here. are you on facebook or any social networking web-site. i would really like to connect with you and know you well. cheers
Your analysis (10) of the remark is by far the most objective comment that I have encountered regarding this issue. Honestly, I feel like some people are just unnecessarily magnifying the whole situation.
Frankly, i agree with everything you said to be true in the philippines. I AM BISAYA bisaya and frankly, it’s like a bang against the wall if you fight back because if we react and say something, they will say WE ARE SO SENSITIVE… and on the news one time, this bisaya guy really hurt a person for mocking him right and you know what NOLI DE CASTRO DID on his tv program? mocked the poor bisayan community more for being sensitive. and he even said he can’t vote a bisayan candidate because we might change the national language to bisayan.. isn’t that gross? to hear fellow filipinos say that.well, glad this is becoming a talk and we have internet because we can express the sentiments 24/7 if we want too.
i’m based now in the US and happy to be here.feel respected and free at last..
Yes, I think I have to agree with what this guy says on his blog:

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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYB4H0Po0A0
everyone immediately cries racism and discrimination?
FILIPINO GOVERNMENT, TAGA MANILA AS IN THE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK THE TAGALOG LANGUAGE AS MAIN DIALECT ARE THE CULPRIT OF THIS BIG PROBLEM OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. YES THEY ARE.. I NEVER PATRONIZE THAT LANGUAGE HERE IN THE US FOR THAT REASON.
Can we all please stick to the main issue of this forum? Its precisely why we click on it and join this because of specific concerns.
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.
So next time if a filipino racist says something like “ano ka ba naman hindi ka na mabiro” after saying demeaning remarks towards bisaya or whoeversay, it’s not funny and if you find it funny go find someone else to tell the joke okey?
a start to end racism in that poor country.poor country,poor attitude and poor discipline.
Like what Jeffrey said, it such a sad thing that Filipinos fight against racism against Filipino which is not a bad idea(a good step in fact) but the very sad part here? Many of our kababayans practice racism against each other and is accepted AS NORMAL and when our object of racism react, rathe than saying their apologies, sasabihin “ano ka ba, hindi ka na mabiro” “Ang pikon mo naman”. And then after uttering those words they continue with their insulting jokes even though they are aware that the other party is being deeply offended.
Don’t you also know that there is a institutionalized discrimination in the Philippines?
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…
It wouldn’t catch my attention if she said “|kasi hindi magandang pakingganâ€. But no, she said “parang Bisayaâ€.
Let me correct that statement.
