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.

IMO, when I watched that video I actually didn’t feel what most filipinos felt. Most Pinoys need to learn a thing or two about this “incident”. For one, if it hurts them so much to be labeled like that then why not take it as a constructive criticism? We all know the reason why we as Filipinos are being labeled like that by SOME in the first place. Why not do something ’bout it to change that perception of theirs instead of whining and asking for apologies. That is just total crap. Most pinoys are just too damn sensitive about these matters and we sometimes forget that we ourselves are doing it amongst our fellow countrymen. We make jokes about our presidents and other political leaders. THat in itself is saying a lot about its people.

A word of advice to all the pinoys who got affected by this: Stop being overly sensitive about the matter. Stop whining. Learn from it and try to change yourselves for the better.

If I had a dollar for every racist comment I’ve heard that came from a pinoy’s mouth, I’d be a millionaire now.
