If you monitor the comments on this site, you may have noticed a long and passionate message from Bi-manila. It deserves to be a post. Here it is….
religion brought by the spaniards.. besides social classes, majority of
us obliviously grew up with a “caste system” based on gender and
sexuality. str8 men rank the highest, followed by str8 women, then
lesbians and last are gays. Therefore, in majority of our countrymen,
being labeled as GAY is negative and to a few, an insult.. because to
some narrow-minded folks, they believe that a gay man wont be able to
satisfy a woman sexualy or they won’t be able to be a good father to
their children. So what does all these have to do with Piolo?… A
hansome, famous and successful man like piolo is considered extremely
attractive to most filipinos.. Thus, he brings out the green-eyed
monster out of some str8 men and gaymen. Proving that he’s gay would
make him imperfect and less attractive to others, thus, it would make
Here’s the so-called anti-Christian movie. Give me a fuckin’ break. If your “faith” can be shattered by some talking polar bears, you have no faith at all. Doesn’t Nicole Kidman look hot?
Filipino heavyweight UFC contender, Brandon Vere drops a 3 round decision to Tim Silvia. Does this mean he will drop to light-weight? It looks like Brandon broke his hand.
Here are some types of reactions I’ve seen regarding the Desperate Housewives issue:
1) Don’t care
2) Violently angry due to blind pride
3) Slighly annoyed but don’t see the big deal
4) Rational thoughts that look at the real issues
Some idiots cannot even separate Terri Hatcher from a character she plays. Is it because they think the actor and thier work are the same? They probably think Fernando Poe Jr. went around beating up bad guys in his real life. It was a fictional character, not Terri Hatcher. Should actors appoligize for playing a KKK member? Should an actor apologize for fictionally shooting someone? Shit heads.
Here are some rational thoughts from the web:
It’s insulting yeah… but come on…. aren’t we all a little bit racist? Think about it… meron ba sa inyong gustong tumira sa Africa? Malamang when one says Africa we think wild animals & famine. To the general Filipino conciousness… being dark is called Negro & is panget… Chineese are Intsiks or Beho who are kuripot and Indians are Bumbays who are mabaho & are greedy loan sharks.
Nalulungkot at naiinis akong isipin na ang daming galit na pinoy about the comment. Napaka sensitibo natin sa mga salita ng mga puti ngunit tayo mismo ay ganun din magsalita… ang isteytsayd ay superior sa ating isipan by default… “uy nag aral yan sa isteyts! Magaling yan!”… so inversely, by that silly logic…laos nag mag aral sa Pilipinas.
Yeah it’s just right to ask for an apology but the bigger thing is to asses our own words toward other cultures & races that we are not familiar with…. if you find it funny to say “ayoko sa India…mabaho” then that’s just fine… don’t feel bad when caucasians think the Philippines is some backwards country.
I find some of the e-mail I’m getting to be laced with hypocritical ethnic entitlement. Some Filipinos have seen fit to dismiss my ethnic heritage entirely and consider me “white” because of my politics and past criticism of the Philippines’ reckless decision to pay ransom for hostages taken by jihadis.
Now, after a stupid TV show insults Filipinos, they expect me to jump on the protest bandwagon with them automatically in ethnic solidarity.
Question: Where were you when far worse Filipino insults were being leveled? Just wondering.
I find the violent reaction by our public officials in particular even more hilarious—and embarrassing—than the original offense.
Here are more American TV shows making fun of Filipinos. It’s probably worst than the Desperate Housewives line but why don’t these delusional oversensitive “Filipinos” go after Family Guy? Oh yeah, they would look foolish going after cartoons.
Here’s what bugs me. We will jump all over a non-Pinoy show for a mildly “offensive” comment done in a comedic context but will not look at ourselves 1st. How many Filipino shows make fun of other races? How about how gays are portrayed? What about the exploitation of poor people for profit? I don’t see an email or dumb petition campain against ABS-CBN or GMA. Ever watch Bubble Gang? Imagine if that show was in the states and had all white actors.
Looks like the Daily Show got it wrong when labeling Cory Aquino a “SLUT”. Duh, isn’t it Kris????
If the racial slur made in a scene in ABC TV’s ”Desperate Housewives” against Philippine medical schools had outraged the nation, Filipinos here and abroad could be in for more.
This time, it may be the turn of the Emmy-award winning American satirical television program “The Daily Show” to spark controversy for apparently making a bad joke on former President Corazon Aquino.
1st of all GMA, the Desperate Housewives issue wasn’t a racial slur. A racial slur is nigger, honky, hook nose Jew, Pollack…..dumb fucks.
“Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines” said Susan (Teri Hatcher) on the September 30 episode of ABC’s Desperate Housewives.
I revived about a dozen emails from relatives, spam and a real gem from NaFFAA.
The National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA) is demanding an apology from the producers of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives” over an episode that aired on September 30 disparaging medical practitioners who were trained in the Philippines.
In condemning the racially-biased and culturally insensitive remarks, NaFFAA National Chair Alma Kern also points out the need for cultural awareness training among Hollywood writers, producers and actors. “It is outrageous that in this day and age, popular media continue to demean and insult Filipinos in America,” Kern says. “For more than one hundred years, we have made valuable contributions to this country, not only as health professionals but as child care providers and home care givers. These dedicated, diligent and competent workers do not deserve to be slandered and stereotyped in such a prejudicial manner if only to evoke laughter.”
Who cares? Some show with lots of fine ass MILFS say something bad about your country and you get pissed and want to protest? What about protesting the lame show? The show is about bored fine housewives that fuck a lot and we get mad about a disparaging dumb line about how a TV whore distrusts Filipino doctors? It’s not like the president said it. What do you expect? We can LOL at the Arabs but when the chickens come home to roost, it’s a different ball game. Hit too close to home?
I’m not pissed because I know the context. If you don’t like what was said, fine, but protect their right to say it. Plus, Teri Hatcher is fine.
Petitions don’t work. Boycotts don’t work. Focus your hypocritical anger elsewhere.
We received a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) complaint from the lovely Olivia Mojica from American Idol that the scandal picts we posted back in April 2007. I honestly forgot who the hell she was and had to look her up in google again to refresh my memory. I think most folks forgot about her already. Perhaps she’s ready to release an album? Perhaps she just needs some attention by getting sites to remove videos and her pictures? Who cares.
