Oh no, TV insulted me!

So there is a big hubbub at iSTORYA about a recent Desperate Housewives show which had a scene that many consider … racist. Wow. Just wow. First of all, it was a joke. Lighten up! You aren’t as offended as you think. It is not cool to be offended. You are not patriotic if you are offended. You are a shallow, shallow person if you are offended by such little things. Filipino Americans aren’t as pissed off as the media says. Hey I’m not and a lot of people feel the same. I laughed watching the clip on Youtube. You know what is embarrassing? … the clip doesn’t embarrass me, Filipinos hooting and tooting about the grave injustice done unto them embarrasses me. The fact that people even give this a second look embarrasses the Filipino in me. “oh look at me, I deserve better”. Why can’t people just let their actions and achievements speak for themselves? We make fun of Mexicans, we make fun of Canadians, we make fun of the French, the Chinese, the Europeans. We have the right to make fun of everyone in the world because we as Americans are made of people from around the world. I love the Philippines, but all this fucking whining is recrunkulus … it never ends.

I can’t remember how many times I stood around with other Pinoys in Cebu and made fun of anything that wasn’t Pinoy. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.
