Warning: This is purely hearsay, the facts (if you can call them facts are not first hand)...

It's pitiful that Filipinos are being discriminated in their own country. If I'm a Filipino, they can hold something (like breads) that I'm entitled to to make me do a certain act. When in fact that thing belongs to me, and it's regular practice that I should have it in my hands by then. But I never complain, I'm a Filipino. If I'm otherwise, I can demand, and I can have it! no questions asked. Is it the color really? I don't know...

I also heard Chuck (not his real name) saying it's typical for Filipinos to be very... forgiving? or foregoing? (I can't exactly remember the words so don't trust me!) They were informed of having a decent meal but what did they get? (I don't know! You tell me!) And they didn't care! Nobody cares! Filipinos are being treated the way they are because they endure... Even if it's too much. They don't say YES! or NO! they just suffer in silence. Not a single word! That's why even their fellow Filipinos capitalize on this amoral trait. Dog eat dog!

Would you care? Would the Care Bears care? Or they will just stare?

Very observant you are! Yoda will be very happy if you master the force!  O0

Whos doing the discriminating? I think you'll find its those bright sparks in the office. If the native speakers ask and receive are they wrong for doing the asking?

yea, that sounds like the basics. if chuck (definately not his real name) called filipinos too forgiving, it was probably intended partially as a compliment and partially out of frustration for the many cases where filipinos and foreigners alike are INDISCRIMINATELY treated like crap by companies (and countries) for the mere reason that there has been no consequence in the past and so they will continue test how far they can go before someone forces them to behave themselves like responsible adults. anyway i hear the cattle call. time to herd us all back where we belong

This might go off-topic...

Whos doing the discriminating? Discrimination among Filipinos is a sad reality today. I was recently invited by a friend to join a fellowship at SM (yeah they do have fellowships there on Sundays). On one of their 'sharings', the speaker spoke of one elitist Filipino blogger in Makati blogging (in Taglish) about how stupid, 'pangit' and whatever the 'masa' and lower ranking workers are. Even more sad about this is that there are lots of comments from other Filipinos agreeing with the sorry bastard.

It's not a surprise why one foreigner (i forgot the name) said that Filipinos are the only race in the world who are unkind to each other. We should ask yourselves what we can do about it and put a stop to this colonial mentality, like thinking everything that's imported is good and everything that's local is lousy and normal at best.

Fellow Filipinos in the Philippines are doing it. Crazy but true.

Definitely there is nothing wrong with the asking. The wrong is not giving... I cannot see the logic why some can have it, while others can't. I can't really draw the line.

Is it because they can have unlimited replacements anyway if you complain? And others are rare?

We should try getting together and explaining that when the management treat us differently it causes problems for us all.

It boils down to respect....

i just wish people can learn how to treat people as people. if you have less money and you work under them, that doesn't make them a better person than you are. people just want what they deserve, i think its just fair we give it to them.

What's happening now is people are judge of what they have and what they have earned.. when you have nothing and just a siple you sometimes makes them think you are nothing and sometime even make you lose the right to be seen and considered as a human being like them..

Now Metallica really makes sense when they sing "Sad But True".

in hk alone, gosh! pilipino na filipina ang katulong? they really treat her the way the insects(ooopppsss) treat their kunyang....

Suprisingly, it's not only Filipinos. Other multi-cultural counties have this syndrome as well. In Mexico, the Amerindians and mestizos do not enjoy the prestige that that "whites" have. In Indonesia, people from the Aceh province and the Indonesian territory that shares half of the island of Papua New Guinea(I forgot the name) hate the Javanese.  In Malaysia, they have this NEP wherein one Chinese and Indians do not have access to the priviledges that the Malays have. In the US of A, many look down on non-whites despite being citizens of America.

ArchAugust, are you talking about cofibean?

So that's this poor sob's name. I've read some of his blog and it's full of s#!+. >

When they say you eat dinner, you eat dinner. We don't eat snacks when its dinner isn't it?

...if there's rilly a  discrimination among filipinos...i therefore conclude that filipino discrimination is applied in the wholewideworld...poor filipinos ;D

discrimination has alway been a part of filipino culture; I guess that's what my old professor termed as "crative crab mentality" -we dis off people from other provinces so as to uplift our own hometown's image

O0 O0 O0

there  was a wise man with long hair and beard who once said "cast the first stone  if thoust sinless....."
"discrimination " poeple fear what they do not understand or simply tooooooo stupid to understand
:tickedoff: :tickedoff: > :tickedoff: :tickedoff:
here are some of the fallacies of discrimination in pinoy culture:
1. we call the highlanders "nefut" or some other deregatory remarks- but we forget that we're from baguio just like them.

2. we call the people from pangasinan "dugyot", but in one point in our lives we've pissed and spit in public!

3. we call the ilocanos "Kuripot" and yet we try hard to avoid our income tax returns.

4. the muslims from mindanao have been called thieves; and yet the senate is filled up with catholics from luzon? ;D

5. the tagalogs have been term the brains of the philippines, but isn't erap tagalog? ^-^

6.the visayans and the bicolanos ladies are belived to be horny and indiscimate in taste- but wasn't the girl from last night half german and her mom's not from bicol or the visayas? :idiot: :crazy:

                                        ohh well....blame the spaniard:
                              divide and conquer ,baby, divide and conquer

whoever discriminates (be it local or foreign) clowns  and stereotyped them lamely ought to be castrated...

although discrimination is indeed a bite of reality, we cant really prevent it... we just have to shut those mouths and numb the brains of those idiots...
