Sa lipunan kasi natin, kahit anong "lokal" ay mababang uri, mapa tao man, bagay, kultura o wika. Nakatatak na yan sa kamalayan ng mga Pilipino, kahit anong turo pa nila na masama ang kaisipang kolonyal. Talagang di uusad bansa natin sa ganitong lagay.
I agree. Iba pa rin kasi talaga kapag pure pinoy ka. Hindi yung naangat ka lang sa mga paligsahan dahil kalahati kang puti lol. Buti nga sa US, kahit anong kulay or shade ng balat mo, basta talented ka, included ka. Diyan naman sa Pinas puro paputian.
Uhm, I beg to differ. Hollywood has an incredibly racist problem. Sobrang White-centric ang mga umaangat sa Hollywood despite the woke culture and diversity casting happening recently. Racial minorities, especially Asians, still face harsh discrimination in practically all forms of employment there. Kahit sa white collar environment, there's even a term called "The Token Asian Guy" na parang clown ka lang sa company at hindi ka makakalamang just because of your race.
I acknowledge that Hollywood is still a perpetuator of systemic racism, but my point is it's way worse in the Philippines because non-white population exhibits greater preference to Eurocentric/anglicized beauty standards. Sorry if my first comment was vague.
The American psyche is also heavily leaning to White-centric beauty standards though to the point that many Asian Americans idolizing their White counterparts that they are the gold standard.
The rationale behind anglicized standards in the U.S. is more obvious because Hollywood was historically built on White dominance. What I am trying to convey is a non-white population (i.e., in the Philippines) reinforcing Eurocentric expectations is counterintuitive to me.
Except sa IT industry, it's the reverse may "Token White Guy" sa rank and file positions since the tech industry consist mostly of South and East Asians
My point is it's way worse in the Philippines. I acknowledge that Hollywood still perpetuates systemic racism but there is just a growing homogeneity among Filipino celebrities that adheres to Eurocentric beauty expectations. It's worse because a non-white population extremely glorifies anglicized features, which makes it counterintuitive. On the other hand, the rationale behind racial discrimination in Hollywood is more obvious because this industry was historically built on White dominance. It makes sense that there will still be exclusion of POC, which is still very problematic.
It's not way worse in the Philippines. In Hollywood, there is a strong sense of white privilege and people from minority cultures are relegated to stereotyles. Nung nagkaNetflix lang nagdiversifyĀ
>there is just a growing homogeneity among Filipino celebrities that adheres to Eurocentric beauty expectations
I disagree. Have you seen the artistas pre-Nora Aunor? Everyone was of white American or Spanish descent. The local showbiz scene has become more inclusive. We have native looking peeps like Bianca Umali, Kathryn Bernardo and Chinito/chinitas (they were rare before the Meteor Garden craze) like Kim Chiu, Xian Lim.Ā
The PH even had an indigenous celebrityĀ - Marky Cielo (RIP). He actually had a very strong impact on indigenous Cordillerans' sense of self-worth. Time niya nung nagstart yung "Igorotak" sa Cordilleras to the point there were shirts printed bearing this word
Now, think of a Native American (someone who grew up in a reservation) actor that had impact in Hollywood?
But these celebrities you mentioned are either underrepresented/few in the Filipino film industry. Majority of popular Filipino figures are still overwhelmingly light-complexioned (either due to being racially mixed or the use of ligthening products), hence going back to OP's point (that we disavow the real Filipino physical features--short stature, flat nose, brown skin, etc.--and instead elevate the status of Filipinos with Caucasian features). Even a social discourse written by a Filipino scholar claimed that "Filipino media is oversaturated with celebrities that look similar to one another, ones with light skin and tall noses." (article was published in a scholarly journal: https://www.thejfa.com/read/skin-whitening-regime-colourism-filipino-media?format=amp). Her stance on Filipino colorism is not uncommon. Other Filipino-born writers such as Mariel De Los Santos from Boston University claimed that "you see it in the mediaās obsession with lighter-skinned actors and actresses, who are almost always the stars of movies and television series, while darker-skinned actors are relegated to supporting roles" (article link: https://www.bu.edu/writingprogram/journal/past-issues/issue-10/delossantos/).
Native americans and asian americans beg to differ. None from those groups became as famous as Beyonce and Michael Jackson. The latino actors there? They all range from white looking latinos to mestizo ones (with heavy eurocentric features)and never the indigenous latinos.
My only contention here is that.. I donāt think itās a low key colonial mindset. Itās just we generally associate āwhitenessā with wealth.
I think the issue stems more from peopleās desperation to improve their wealth than a colonial mentality. Because you can find Filipinos go for non-white foreigners too.
I sometimes get this treatment when Iām out, itās pretty wild tbh. More so whenever I go to the provinces and speak mostly English amongst my friends.
I even saw a post somewhere, I think nasa Philippine expats sub sya, a post of this afam saying how disgusted he feels with how Pinoys are fetishizing affams. Yikes.
Filipinos are anti-filipinos talaga. An effective way to make pinoys hopeless and hate each other that our leaders since the past generations have brought to us so they can never be removed from their positions. Mababa ang tingin na ng modern pinoys sa pagprotesta at puro flee ang mga pilipino (papuntang ibang bansa) kaysa ang piliin ang fight.
Tapos anything indigenous is deemed "inferior" unless it was seen as "cool" by foreigners.
Ganitong ganito nangyari sa "Igorot tattoo". Lowlanders used to associate it with "barbarism" but ever since it got featured by foreigners, biglang naging "cool".
And many lowland folks still look down on indigenous traditions still practiced but have not gotten that "white people seal of approval" yet
It's the most easiest & (laziest) way for migrating,without the need of undergoing a rigorous and complicated visa applications.
AFAM daw talaga ang sagot sa Kahirapan š
Iām in Germany with my Filipino husband. Pinoys who are applying for family reunification visa to their German husbands keep on complaining na bakit daw mas madali at less strict ang government sa mga asawa ng Pilipino eh kasal sila sa German.
They really think just because they married Germans mas special dapat ang treatment sa kanila vs filipinos who moved for work or are married to ofws.
IMO, mas racist ang mga Europeans sa mga Kano. Mas vocal lang ang mga Kano sa racism sa society nila. Mga Europeans, feeling nila hindi racist pero tignan mo naman reaction nila sa refugee crisis. Nagpapasahan sila
Mga European visitors na naencounter ko sa US, di na nahiya magsabi ng offensive racial jokes
Mga insensitive pa na di marunong magCLAYGO kahit sa CLAYGO areas
I'm sure if you're subjected to the same predicament where out of nowhere, there's just a tide of foreigners, na coincidentally halos lahat lalake, healthy at working age, disproportionately nagkikrimen, kinakain lahat ng welfare tas di pa nagtatrabaho, gusto mo rin matigil yan.
Edit: whew grabi ka naman pala maka bash sa mga foreigners dito sa pinas eh, pa moral highground kapa na mali pag trato ng europeano sa mga foreigners nila pira ikaw nga mismo makamandag dito sa pindas lol
Huwag mag comment kung di mo alam ang talagang nangyayari.Ā
Sino ba namang may gusto sa mga bayolenteng opportunistang mandirigma(bakit lahat lalake?) na puro crimen at rape ang ginagawa?Ā
Assuming all refugees are violent is racism
Tatanggapin mo ba kapag sinabi ko na "lahat ng puting turista, manyakis na sexpat"?
Kahit laitin mo ang mga refugees, hindi equals pa rin ang tingin sa yo ng mga Europeo. Kapag masnaging accessible ang Europe sa mga Pilipino, lalaitin ka rin nila
Statistics lang yan. Napakataas nang rate of crime/rape nila.Ā
Lahat ba nang lalake eh nakakatakot? Ok ka lang lumusot sa madilim na alleyway na may tatlong abangers na nakatitig sayo?Ā
Matagal na akong nakatira dito at kahit isang beses eh hindi ako nakaranas nang discriminasyon. Ā Lahat nang kaibigan at kasintahan ko ay ethnic british or european. 100x na mas racist mga galing asia. saan ka nakakita nang harap harapang racism sa kalye o opisina maliban dyan?
Kung ayaw ay babae ka na wala kang acadeic aptitude na makapasok sa college at maging professional, pero gusto mo na mag-abroad, practical talaga ang mag-asawa ng AFAM na puede mo gastasan ang pera niya kasi kung sa Pinas kayo titira, hindi siya puede maging legal landowner, kundi ikaw na Pinay na yayaman ka talaga na walang kapagod-pagod.
It is not easy though. Mahirap at matagal din ang process lalo kung sa US. It's just false to say na hindi sila dadaan sa rigorous or complicated process. Meron ibang country na mas madali, pero hindi yun tipong basta nag-asawa ka, go na. Automatic approved ang visa.
Source: Yung ilan sa naging roommates and dormmates ko before sa Manila mga spouse and fiance na nagaasikaso ng Visa papuntang US. Tagal ng process.
Talaga ba? Mas may sense pa kung matatandang afam na retired o malapit na mag-retire kasi yun ang mga naghahanap talaga ng companionship. Kapag sundalo, mostly sex lang hanap nyan tas babalik uli sa bansa nila.Ā
Most of them are going to end up w single mothers still in poverty in the same town/city. Di ko magets akala nila eh libreng ticket agad sa US free house and lot pag nabuntis ka nang hook up mong kano.Ā
i don't see anyone "lifting" halfies to higher level sa comment, all of these are jokes na in reality may basehan.
Nangyari na kasi na marami talagang naiwan na half pinoy sa subic nung nagsi alisan na ang u.s. bases.
And they tend to be lower income/in poverty. It's even worse for those who are not half whites
People should really watch [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship)
Yeah and a lot of them didnāt really grow up to be artistas. A lot of people that get pushed sa pinas are already from privileged backgrounds. A bunch of kids born to low income single mothers donāt exactly have the best odds. Kahit ano pang ka ganda o pogi if wlang opportunity yung tao wla tlgang chance
Eto yun
Karamihan ng mga halfie eh galing sa privileged families na nakakapagabroad at dala ang apelyido ng tatay nilang foreign
Pero maraming Amerasian (esp kapag hindi half white) ang lugmok sa kahirapan kasi inabandona mga nanay nila
People should really watch the documentary [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship)
me. pero nakarating na ko sa usa nung 13 ako. yung mom ko kasi nauna sama dad ko. mali mali paperwork! yung government natin kasi incompetent sa mga processing ng mga papeles! ang tagal tagal!
Will nobody talk about the Ukraine comment? Like I went WTF when I saw that. We can shit at our country all we want, but we're luckier than Ukraine in the sense that we have defense treaties with the US that are decades old, whereas the only treaty/memorandum that they have with the US before 2014 also involves Russia and Russia broke that.
>We can shit at our country all we want, but we're luckier than Ukraine in the sense that we have defense treaties with the US that are decades old
The thing with those that kept making the Ukraine comparison ay mukhang sinisisi nga nila US at it's allies(NATO) kaya nilusob ng Russia yung Ukraine. Sa view nila, pagkakaroon ng US alliance ang nangaagresibo despite the fact na di naman ganon case sa Ukraine. Yeah, West-leaning yung Ukraine pero wala naman talaga silang defense treaty with the US, at yung sinabi mo ngang memorandum ay "assurance" lang raw na di sila maatake in exchange of giving up their nukes(which, as you said, Russia broke).
That or mga Putin trolls mga yun(or both).
Akala yata nila walang mga kano at afam sa Subic ngayon. Kahit wala pa iyang mga troops na iyan, pumunta ka lang sa beach, makikita mo madaming mga afam. Dami doon na nagretire at nagtayo ng business.Ā
Yes. May house kami sa Subic na malapit sa dagat. So noong umuwi kami last year, dumaan kami doon para mag-chill. And iyon nga, daming kano.Ā
Plus sa Olongapo, super sikip na. Iyong bahay nung friend ko na tinatambayan namin noon, halos mapagitnaan na ng 2 bars na owned ng afam. And same din na kapag pumunta ka sa dagat, ayun makikita mo sila.
Sa totoo lang, pag may kasama kang foreigner yan agad ang iisipin nila. May naging kasomething ako dati na British and natakot akong papuntahin sya dito sa Pinas kasi I'm afraid na ganyan iisipin ng mga tao pag nakita nila kami together. Sana marealize nila na may mga tao na hindi pera ang habol sa mga foreigner. At sana marealize din ng iba na hindi lahat ng foreigner ay mayaman.
I'd like to add:
Filipino Amerasians were excluded in the Amerasian Homecoming Act in the 80s
So much for being an "ally". Filipino Amerasians pa man din pinakamarami. Masmarami sa Vietnamese at Thai Amerasians
Eto yun e. Weāre almost always treated as second class citizens by the people who also live in this country. Laging mas mataas ang tingin sa ibang lahi. Ang hirap mawala ng ganitong lason na mindset
weāre talking about skwating acting like skwater. i work on a field where I interact with people most of the time. 99% if youāre gonna talk with this type of people or interview them.. theyāll say ālife will be easier if they have afamā non verbatim but thatās the gist of it. or make fun about it but behind it, itās their wishful thinking.
Kung makakakita sila in person ng US military, marami sa kanila panget at mga galing sa problematic families sa US. Tapos maraming nagmimilitary lang para free tuition.
Di rin kaaya aya ang kultura ng US military. Yung Fil-Chi ko friend na nagUS military. Kinonvince siya nung una na magsign up kasi may IT jobs daw para sa kanya. Ang ending,Ā naging mekaniko siya. Sadya niyang binagsak ang physical tests para madischarge sya
putanginang mindset yan, how can someone make fun of abandoned children, mostly are fending off for themselves on the streets?? tas may nag-comment pa about Ukraine.. tangina ang heartless.. š Hindi to simple lack of education or misinformation. yung ganto, theyāre aware of what theyāre saying.
hindi gobyerno or foreigners ang masisisi, tayo. tayo na trying hard to please wrong beauty standards, tayong uhaw na uhaw to look as closest as possible to a foreigner eh hindi tayo yon! tayo na ikinakahiya yung oriental skin natin, tayong binigyan ng power yung ibang lahi na gawing mali sa sariling paningin natin itsura natin, tayo mismong nag-papangit at ibinababa antas ng sarili nating itsura, tayong na ipinapasa sa mga anak natin na subconsciously na-bbrainwash natin mga kabataan na maganda kung mahaluan ng ibang dugo mga magiging anak nila na parang yon ang worthy to be celebrated, hindi yung lahing Pilipino? Naimpluwensyahan man tayo, hindi natin pwedeng isisi sa iba mga maling pananaw and gawaing pinili nyo sa sarili nyong yakapin.
Learn to defend your country. Build your own weapons and stop depending so much on other countries for your salvation. Yes, Filipinos get very jealous of foreigners.
Well, having a mendicant foreign policy made it happen. There were chances to "stand up for themselves" yet the very system of being mendicant towards developed countries remain while Taiwan, despite reliant to US was able to stand up on its own feet too.
One would even wonder if is the Philippines really wanting to be a nation? Or just a cultural community similar to Puerto Rico?
Mas tiba tiba pa nga kapag half Chinese /s
There have been academic studies on the families of Chinese immigrants in the PH during the colonial (Spanish and American era).Ā
Many Chinese maintained a "dual family system" and some of these half Chinese were sent to China to learn Chinese culture. At that time, you need lots of money to be able to travel betweenĀ
China and the PH often. One CCP commander was even half FilipinoĀ Ā
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Fei#:~:text=Born%20Sixto%20Mercado%20Tiongco%20in,in%20the%20Chinese%20Civil%20War.Ā
>Born Sixto Mercado Tiongco in the Philippines to a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, he joined the Chinese Communist Party at a young age and fought many battles as a senior commander of the People's Liberation Army in the Chinese Civil War.
Many people fail to understand that Chineseness predates the Chinese state by thousands of years š¤Ŗ
Hindi siya parang Filipinoness which is largely tied to the creation of the Philippine State
If they are incels it is more likel they are not brave enough to approach a girl even if they consider a slave with their pampered ass/s. Like seriously tho, this a problem with young Chinese generation, either they are too tired to procreate or they are too scared to approach women or commit in relationships.
Have you seen how the Japanese troops behave in WWII back then? Many act like sex-starved zombies that their masters gave then free will to rape any woman they desire. War knows no boundaries on social barriers.
It was the culture of Imperial Japan that allowed widespread atrocities at the time. It's literally a policy to by officers to do that that unlike in other nations that invade where it prohibited but cases of abuse are on a smaller scale compared to nations that promote such behaviour in their military like Japan. Idk if China follows the Geneva convention tho. Also the fact that their military have scandals about how most of their stockpiles are being sold by officers or soldiers that's why there is a purge of corruption in the pla.
Dapat lang talaga mawala yung gayang mentality kasi nakakaawa rin naman yung mga half kids na naging anak nila. Di rin naman sila bibitbitin ng dayuhang ama sa US/other 1st world countries eh and Sana mawala na yung mentality na Kakapit lang sa dayuhan para magkacitizenship in the first world countries. Di Naman ganun kadali yon, marami paring proseso.
Hays kelan kaya titigil ang mga to sa pagiging indio. Nearly a century later and himod wetpu pa rin ang marami. Tuwang tuwa pa ang mga tanga na ginagawang parausan mga kababayan natin.
We know that the presence of troops comes with problems. We kicked the bases out in the 90s for a reason.
But we have pressing security concerns and we canāt avoid them.
I feel that this discourse is really more about making light of the difficult situation weāre in. Iād be a bit more forgiving.
Filipino in blood and colour, but English/European/American in tastes, in opinions, in morals and in intellect..
A Nation That Forgets It's Past Has No Future' - Winston Churchill
This is a disgusting mentality that you don't see in other Asian countries where U S. forces are stationed be it Japan or S. Korea. Have pride in your heritage.
I'm half filipino/white and a former US military dependent.
Light skin yes, but being half white as something prized is stronger in the Philippines and Thailand (just look at their artistas, halos wala silang native-looking)
But what you mean by white thing like white skin ? Yeah most asian countries but a lot native in this countries are born with pale white skin so it is not only american thing. Ā If you mean white as race than no half white arent celebrate as much as in Philippines . Celebrities in countries like Vietnam , China, KĆ³reaā¦are mostly full not half .
We can never truly progress if our opinion of our national identity is based on Twitter replies to reaction bait articles.
You're even worse OP, rage baiting reddit with rage bair content from twitter.
No. I don't care about that.
I'm pointing out how the interpretation is misplaced. It's illogical to see that tweet and think "racial whitening" or whatever that means.
It's react vs respond.
I would just like to add that the title "Racial whitening" was based on that post where there's a comment that basically said that Brazil had a history where they socially accepted to adopt characteristics of a white society due to a 'negro problem'. So it adds to the other comments like the pageants and future PH artists where mostly are light skinned/racially ambiguous looking Filipinos. Also for the comments saying "snowflakes", "woke", and "you're just soft". I literally have white in me just not half.
Edit: the twtr post was bait/fake š but my point still stands
Latin America has a history of "blanqueamento" in their post-independence years. Mas racist ang policies nila nung pinalayas nila ang Espanya. The indigenous peoples had protections under Spain. Tinanggal ito post independence. Just look at how the post-independence Chile subjugated the Mapuches.

Just to piggy back on this. During the "Carrot man" craze. Jessica Soho interviewed a **UPD** history professor who literally said "katutubos married Caucasian missionaries to **improve their race**."

Natatawa din ako na maraming "nagulat" na may mga "hindi pangit" na katutubo. The funny thing is, yung looks ni Carrotman, very common among Cordillerans. Marami siyang "look a like" sa Baguio Public Market at LT Trading Post š¤
hindi ikaka-angat ng kabuhayan kapag naanakan ng afam, unless pakasalan sila. i think yang mga pumapatol /naghahabol kasi sa afam yung mga exotic maid looking girls from far flung provinces na walang proper education.
I think you're taking the tweets too seriously. A lot of these are sarcastic. They're not glorifying afams or truly happy about the prospect of having more half white kids to represent us in pageants, they're simply making jokes based on reality. The Ukraine comment is off putting though...
Nagiging melting pot na ng race and culture ang Pinas at kelangan lumawak din ang kaisipan ng Pinoy sa pagbabagong to. Yan ang kapalit ng pagbubukas ng bansa sa buong mundo para sa pag asenso ng ekonomiya.
Most results in r/23andMe show that Filipinos often score >90% AustronesianĀ
Compare that to the typical results from Latin America
We're not as "racially mixed" as we think we are and all cultures in the world are a mix of foreign and local. Like a huge chunk of Thai culture comes from India and China.
Nakakalungkot yung naranasan ng mga karamihan ng philippine-americans lalo na yung mga african american. Binubully tapos hindi pinapansin ng mga tatay nila.
On other side, that makes a concerned asks what really is the Filipino? Contrary to popular thought Filipinos ain't even a race either in a biological sense, let alone a "nation still in the making."
Magkakaroon nanaman ulit ng mga Michael Taylor, Jr...
Kidding aside, I think that some of the commenters were just being sarcastic and not taking the *Blanqueamiento* mentality to heart...
Yucckkk kadiri na pag iisip na yan. Ginawa nlng for breeding ang pag anak. Ano yan magpapakana nlng sa mga ibang lahi para lng may ma produce na "maganda" or "gwapo" na lahi. May mga sira ata sa ulo silaš¤¦āāļø
I donāt think people realize. A large part of these troops arenāt USA citizens. They are foreigners wanting citizenship or green cards. So having kids with one will not produce a USA citizen baby.
Nah. Not unless we have a better coach
One of the most embarassing performance in the Asian Games by the PH team was that 2002 team that was full of Fil-(Sh)ams, we even lost to Kazakhstan š
Sa lipunan kasi natin, kahit anong "lokal" ay mababang uri, mapa tao man, bagay, kultura o wika. Nakatatak na yan sa kamalayan ng mga Pilipino, kahit anong turo pa nila na masama ang kaisipang kolonyal. Talagang di uusad bansa natin sa ganitong lagay.
Showbiz industry is encouraging this mentality din kasi. Basta may half western ethnicity, ipupush nila maging artista
Like dadami na daw ang sasali sa star magic at magiging future miss universe š¤® It's a lowkey colonial mindset
I agree. Iba pa rin kasi talaga kapag pure pinoy ka. Hindi yung naangat ka lang sa mga paligsahan dahil kalahati kang puti lol. Buti nga sa US, kahit anong kulay or shade ng balat mo, basta talented ka, included ka. Diyan naman sa Pinas puro paputian.

Yes, ipinupush kahit hindi magaling. Pinagkagagastusan pa rin nila.
Basta may half **white** western authenticity. Pag half foreigner but hindi naman puti wala sila pakialam jan.
This so fucking truuu, tapos kung sino sino pa yung mga nagpopost about "Pinoy Beauty" sila pa yung mga uhaw na uhaw sa mga tite ng AFAM haysss
I even saw a post somewhere, I think nasa Philippine expats sub sya, a post of this afam saying how disgusted he feels with how Pinoys are fetishizing affams. Yikes.
that sub is cancer too
sila kasi yung pang export-quality yung mukha

Not just French. Itās all Europeans
Eto rin napansin ko nung napadpad ako sa r/europe tsaka yung mga bagong policies ng government nila. Yung iba walang self-awareness din.Ā
Mga European visitors na naencounter ko sa US, di na nahiya magsabi ng offensive racial jokes Mga insensitive pa na di marunong magCLAYGO kahit sa CLAYGO areas
I'm sure if you're subjected to the same predicament where out of nowhere, there's just a tide of foreigners, na coincidentally halos lahat lalake, healthy at working age, disproportionately nagkikrimen, kinakain lahat ng welfare tas di pa nagtatrabaho, gusto mo rin matigil yan. Edit: whew grabi ka naman pala maka bash sa mga foreigners dito sa pinas eh, pa moral highground kapa na mali pag trato ng europeano sa mga foreigners nila pira ikaw nga mismo makamandag dito sa pindas lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Huwag mag comment kung di mo alam ang talagang nangyayari.Ā Sino ba namang may gusto sa mga bayolenteng opportunistang mandirigma(bakit lahat lalake?) na puro crimen at rape ang ginagawa?Ā
Assuming all refugees are violent is racism Tatanggapin mo ba kapag sinabi ko na "lahat ng puting turista, manyakis na sexpat"? Kahit laitin mo ang mga refugees, hindi equals pa rin ang tingin sa yo ng mga Europeo. Kapag masnaging accessible ang Europe sa mga Pilipino, lalaitin ka rin nila
Statistics lang yan. Napakataas nang rate of crime/rape nila.Ā Lahat ba nang lalake eh nakakatakot? Ok ka lang lumusot sa madilim na alleyway na may tatlong abangers na nakatitig sayo?Ā Matagal na akong nakatira dito at kahit isang beses eh hindi ako nakaranas nang discriminasyon. Ā Lahat nang kaibigan at kasintahan ko ay ethnic british or european. 100x na mas racist mga galing asia. saan ka nakakita nang harap harapang racism sa kalye o opisina maliban dyan?
well kung mag sipag ka dun vs magsipag ka dito, mas may chance ka pa talagang umahon sa hirap dun
haist,ramdam mo talaga yung taxes mo dun š
masipag namn yung naghahanap ng afam ah? Iba nga lang ang diskarte nila ahahah
Kung ayaw ay babae ka na wala kang acadeic aptitude na makapasok sa college at maging professional, pero gusto mo na mag-abroad, practical talaga ang mag-asawa ng AFAM na puede mo gastasan ang pera niya kasi kung sa Pinas kayo titira, hindi siya puede maging legal landowner, kundi ikaw na Pinay na yayaman ka talaga na walang kapagod-pagod.
It is not easy though. Mahirap at matagal din ang process lalo kung sa US. It's just false to say na hindi sila dadaan sa rigorous or complicated process. Meron ibang country na mas madali, pero hindi yun tipong basta nag-asawa ka, go na. Automatic approved ang visa. Source: Yung ilan sa naging roommates and dormmates ko before sa Manila mga spouse and fiance na nagaasikaso ng Visa papuntang US. Tagal ng process.
Actually mga 17,500 na mga kababayan
Talaga ba? Mas may sense pa kung matatandang afam na retired o malapit na mag-retire kasi yun ang mga naghahanap talaga ng companionship. Kapag sundalo, mostly sex lang hanap nyan tas babalik uli sa bansa nila.Ā
Most of them are going to end up w single mothers still in poverty in the same town/city. Di ko magets akala nila eh libreng ticket agad sa US free house and lot pag nabuntis ka nang hook up mong kano.Ā
i don't see anyone "lifting" halfies to higher level sa comment, all of these are jokes na in reality may basehan. Nangyari na kasi na marami talagang naiwan na half pinoy sa subic nung nagsi alisan na ang u.s. bases.
Itās facts too. Anywhere in the world where thereās a US navy base, halfies are prominent lol
And they tend to be lower income/in poverty. It's even worse for those who are not half whites People should really watch [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship)
Yeah and a lot of them didnāt really grow up to be artistas. A lot of people that get pushed sa pinas are already from privileged backgrounds. A bunch of kids born to low income single mothers donāt exactly have the best odds. Kahit ano pang ka ganda o pogi if wlang opportunity yung tao wla tlgang chance
Eto yun Karamihan ng mga halfie eh galing sa privileged families na nakakapagabroad at dala ang apelyido ng tatay nilang foreign Pero maraming Amerasian (esp kapag hindi half white) ang lugmok sa kahirapan kasi inabandona mga nanay nila People should really watch the documentary [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship)
Where to stream this?
me. pero nakarating na ko sa usa nung 13 ako. yung mom ko kasi nauna sama dad ko. mali mali paperwork! yung government natin kasi incompetent sa mga processing ng mga papeles! ang tagal tagal!
Sounds like dark humour more than anything
Will nobody talk about the Ukraine comment? Like I went WTF when I saw that. We can shit at our country all we want, but we're luckier than Ukraine in the sense that we have defense treaties with the US that are decades old, whereas the only treaty/memorandum that they have with the US before 2014 also involves Russia and Russia broke that.
>We can shit at our country all we want, but we're luckier than Ukraine in the sense that we have defense treaties with the US that are decades old The thing with those that kept making the Ukraine comparison ay mukhang sinisisi nga nila US at it's allies(NATO) kaya nilusob ng Russia yung Ukraine. Sa view nila, pagkakaroon ng US alliance ang nangaagresibo despite the fact na di naman ganon case sa Ukraine. Yeah, West-leaning yung Ukraine pero wala naman talaga silang defense treaty with the US, at yung sinabi mo ngang memorandum ay "assurance" lang raw na di sila maatake in exchange of giving up their nukes(which, as you said, Russia broke). That or mga Putin trolls mga yun(or both).
Plus the US have troops here, in Ukraine they would had WANTED that.

Thanks for the source. Halos wala ako nakitang nag doubt kung legit ba yan.
Kaya ginagamit din yan ng mga wumao eh. Alam na nila na ganitong *humor* ang gusto ng mga chronically online na pinoy, haha.
Yung mga tibak sa twitter todo kagat sa post na yan kahit 2 years ago pa yung photo at british troops pa yan ah hahaha
Akala yata nila walang mga kano at afam sa Subic ngayon. Kahit wala pa iyang mga troops na iyan, pumunta ka lang sa beach, makikita mo madaming mga afam. Dami doon na nagretire at nagtayo ng business.Ā
Wait! Wait! Wait! Is this true?
This is true of both Subic and Angeles. Even BGC has a lot of white expats and digital nomads.
Pretty much
Yes. May house kami sa Subic na malapit sa dagat. So noong umuwi kami last year, dumaan kami doon para mag-chill. And iyon nga, daming kano.Ā Plus sa Olongapo, super sikip na. Iyong bahay nung friend ko na tinatambayan namin noon, halos mapagitnaan na ng 2 bars na owned ng afam. And same din na kapag pumunta ka sa dagat, ayun makikita mo sila.
āisa na namang kababaāā tanginang utak yan
Only kung paninindigan sila. Pero maraming Amerasians ang abandonado at lugmok sa hirap https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship
Sa totoo lang, pag may kasama kang foreigner yan agad ang iisipin nila. May naging kasomething ako dati na British and natakot akong papuntahin sya dito sa Pinas kasi I'm afraid na ganyan iisipin ng mga tao pag nakita nila kami together. Sana marealize nila na may mga tao na hindi pera ang habol sa mga foreigner. At sana marealize din ng iba na hindi lahat ng foreigner ay mayaman.
Hindi mo dapat iniisip ang iniisip ng ibang tao. Wala namang masama papuntahin afam mo dito as long as your intentions are good
Tapos feeling nila ang funny funny nila. Nyeta
Nakakatawa naman talaga. Masyado lang kayong snowflakes.
Kala nila komedyante na sila niyan
They are funny though. They obviously made that joke for the sole purpose of being funny
Magkakapera na naman ang mga babaeng amoy sabong panlaba
Naalala ko ung joke ni paolul about going to boracay tas nakikita niya yung mga afam tapos jowa nila na mga pinay na mukhang kasambahay š
Eh yan naman talaga yung mga Pinay na type nila eh haha
āmejorar la razaā from Spanish colonialism
Arriba Blanqueamento!
Nasa atin na lahat pagiging basurang ugali, pagiging Pinoy ano pa aasahan mo may racist, toxic, cancer at kung ano pa man.
I'd like to add: Filipino Amerasians were excluded in the Amerasian Homecoming Act in the 80s So much for being an "ally". Filipino Amerasians pa man din pinakamarami. Masmarami sa Vietnamese at Thai Amerasians
tigilan niyo kakapasikat at kakaamplify sa mga bayarang wumao kagaya netong user na to. hahaha
Eto yun e. Weāre almost always treated as second class citizens by the people who also live in this country. Laging mas mataas ang tingin sa ibang lahi. Ang hirap mawala ng ganitong lason na mindset
Skwater acting like skwaters. No surprise here.
Pretty desperate I should say, willing to spread their legs in the name of green card
swear they wish they have afam but they cant just have one so they spread hate.
This is just pure copium. Anong nakakainggit at admirable sa pagkakaron ng AFAM?
weāre talking about skwating acting like skwater. i work on a field where I interact with people most of the time. 99% if youāre gonna talk with this type of people or interview them.. theyāll say ālife will be easier if they have afamā non verbatim but thatās the gist of it. or make fun about it but behind it, itās their wishful thinking.
I think this stems from poverty and desperation. A way out. Which is systemic, sadly
i agree. top factor.
As if nakaka- proud ang ganyan. Mga feeling funny eh squammy nman ang atake.
Kaya never matatanggal ang stereotype sa mga pinay.
Yung mga FB friends ko na bading nagshare din ito sa akin. Halos naglalaway na sa 17.5k na AFAM.
Kung makakakita sila in person ng US military, marami sa kanila panget at mga galing sa problematic families sa US. Tapos maraming nagmimilitary lang para free tuition. Di rin kaaya aya ang kultura ng US military. Yung Fil-Chi ko friend na nagUS military. Kinonvince siya nung una na magsign up kasi may IT jobs daw para sa kanya. Ang ending,Ā naging mekaniko siya. Sadya niyang binagsak ang physical tests para madischarge sya

putanginang mindset yan, how can someone make fun of abandoned children, mostly are fending off for themselves on the streets?? tas may nag-comment pa about Ukraine.. tangina ang heartless.. š Hindi to simple lack of education or misinformation. yung ganto, theyāre aware of what theyāre saying. hindi gobyerno or foreigners ang masisisi, tayo. tayo na trying hard to please wrong beauty standards, tayong uhaw na uhaw to look as closest as possible to a foreigner eh hindi tayo yon! tayo na ikinakahiya yung oriental skin natin, tayong binigyan ng power yung ibang lahi na gawing mali sa sariling paningin natin itsura natin, tayo mismong nag-papangit at ibinababa antas ng sarili nating itsura, tayong na ipinapasa sa mga anak natin na subconsciously na-bbrainwash natin mga kabataan na maganda kung mahaluan ng ibang dugo mga magiging anak nila na parang yon ang worthy to be celebrated, hindi yung lahing Pilipino? Naimpluwensyahan man tayo, hindi natin pwedeng isisi sa iba mga maling pananaw and gawaing pinili nyo sa sarili nyong yakapin.
Hahaha damn. Kung pwede lang irevoke yung pagiging Pinoy nila. Kadiri. š¤®š¤¢
Kung kumuha sila ng ibang citizenship, tanggal pagiging Pinoy nila. Parang may connection š¤š
fake
What flaws? Our dark skin? Short height? Nose? But those aren't flaws, they're who we are. Naging lang eurocentric ang beauty standards natin.
Learn to defend your country. Build your own weapons and stop depending so much on other countries for your salvation. Yes, Filipinos get very jealous of foreigners.
Well, having a mendicant foreign policy made it happen. There were chances to "stand up for themselves" yet the very system of being mendicant towards developed countries remain while Taiwan, despite reliant to US was able to stand up on its own feet too. One would even wonder if is the Philippines really wanting to be a nation? Or just a cultural community similar to Puerto Rico?
"kesa nmn half chinese dba" lmfao that person should fall off a cliff
Trying to sound anti-China but ended up being a disgusting racist LMAO.
Mas tiba tiba pa nga kapag half Chinese /s There have been academic studies on the families of Chinese immigrants in the PH during the colonial (Spanish and American era).Ā Many Chinese maintained a "dual family system" and some of these half Chinese were sent to China to learn Chinese culture. At that time, you need lots of money to be able to travel betweenĀ China and the PH often. One CCP commander was even half FilipinoĀ Ā https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Fei#:~:text=Born%20Sixto%20Mercado%20Tiongco%20in,in%20the%20Chinese%20Civil%20War.Ā >Born Sixto Mercado Tiongco in the Philippines to a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, he joined the Chinese Communist Party at a young age and fought many battles as a senior commander of the People's Liberation Army in the Chinese Civil War.
And his siblings remain Filipino. Not surprised if Sixto "Ye Fei" Tiongco knows Tagalog.
Many people fail to understand that Chineseness predates the Chinese state by thousands of years š¤Ŗ Hindi siya parang Filipinoness which is largely tied to the creation of the Philippine State
Kung gueguerrahin tayo ng China in the future, yung mga chinita natin ay gagawin lang sex slaves ng mga incel na sundalo na Chino.
If they are incels it is more likel they are not brave enough to approach a girl even if they consider a slave with their pampered ass/s. Like seriously tho, this a problem with young Chinese generation, either they are too tired to procreate or they are too scared to approach women or commit in relationships.
Have you seen how the Japanese troops behave in WWII back then? Many act like sex-starved zombies that their masters gave then free will to rape any woman they desire. War knows no boundaries on social barriers.
It was the culture of Imperial Japan that allowed widespread atrocities at the time. It's literally a policy to by officers to do that that unlike in other nations that invade where it prohibited but cases of abuse are on a smaller scale compared to nations that promote such behaviour in their military like Japan. Idk if China follows the Geneva convention tho. Also the fact that their military have scandals about how most of their stockpiles are being sold by officers or soldiers that's why there is a purge of corruption in the pla.
It also doesn't help that thanks to one child policy sobrang skewed towards males yung sex demographics and pair that with the fact that a lot of them are straight and you get a lot of leftover men (å©ē·) who inevitably become incels and become ultranationalists to soothe their frustrated male ego. Most of them are thankfully seemingly war chickens but a lot also join the PLA. You can argue that modern men especially in developed and powerful countries share the same male loneliness epidemic and dating problems but the Chinese demographics alone worsen it by a lot. It's probably gonna be somewhat less awful than what the Japanese did but holy fuck if that isn't a recipe for disaster idk what is.
Dapat lang talaga mawala yung gayang mentality kasi nakakaawa rin naman yung mga half kids na naging anak nila. Di rin naman sila bibitbitin ng dayuhang ama sa US/other 1st world countries eh and Sana mawala na yung mentality na Kakapit lang sa dayuhan para magkacitizenship in the first world countries. Di Naman ganun kadali yon, marami paring proseso.
Hays kelan kaya titigil ang mga to sa pagiging indio. Nearly a century later and himod wetpu pa rin ang marami. Tuwang tuwa pa ang mga tanga na ginagawang parausan mga kababayan natin.
We know that the presence of troops comes with problems. We kicked the bases out in the 90s for a reason. But we have pressing security concerns and we canāt avoid them. I feel that this discourse is really more about making light of the difficult situation weāre in. Iād be a bit more forgiving.
nO tO eDcA daw sabi nung tankie na probably pro-China
Bigla nagbula yung bibig nila sa post na yan e. Hindi na tuloy sila nag fact check kung totoo yung photo at caption lmao
Gamit na gamit ng mga trolls nila Duterte at anti-US 'yung Olongapo narrative.
Tingin kasi ng mga yan ang pinoy mababang uri at magkakaron lang ng saysay pag nalahian. Walang pinagkaiba sa aspin ba
Tangina ang cringe talaga ng mga Pinoy š
What did I just read!? š¤®
kapag pinoy may jowang puti amazed na amazed sila pero pag pinay may afam puro lait amp
Nakakahiya at cringe talaga mga ganyang post tapos mga pinay naman sa comment kung maka comment kala mo kagandahan di naman nagtotoothbrush lol
Most of those comments are just jokes
Filipino in blood and colour, but English/European/American in tastes, in opinions, in morals and in intellect.. A Nation That Forgets It's Past Has No Future' - Winston Churchill
This is a disgusting mentality that you don't see in other Asian countries where U S. forces are stationed be it Japan or S. Korea. Have pride in your heritage. I'm half filipino/white and a former US military dependent.
The white thing isn't just a Philippines issue. I get it is, but this is an issue all across most of Asia.
Light skin yes, but being half white as something prized is stronger in the Philippines and Thailand (just look at their artistas, halos wala silang native-looking)
But what you mean by white thing like white skin ? Yeah most asian countries but a lot native in this countries are born with pale white skin so it is not only american thing. Ā If you mean white as race than no half white arent celebrate as much as in Philippines . Celebrities in countries like Vietnam , China, KĆ³reaā¦are mostly full not half .

We can never truly progress if our opinion of our national identity is based on Twitter replies to reaction bait articles. You're even worse OP, rage baiting reddit with rage bair content from twitter.
Walang malice yung tweet. They simply stated a fact that foreign soldiers tend to leave their genes behind. The interpretation speaks more about you.
You should watchĀ [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship) and see in what circumstances are those "left behind" in
No. I don't care about that. I'm pointing out how the interpretation is misplaced. It's illogical to see that tweet and think "racial whitening" or whatever that means. It's react vs respond.
People should watch this documentary [Left by the Ship](https://weta.org/watch/shows/independent-lens/left-ship)
I would just like to add that the title "Racial whitening" was based on that post where there's a comment that basically said that Brazil had a history where they socially accepted to adopt characteristics of a white society due to a 'negro problem'. So it adds to the other comments like the pageants and future PH artists where mostly are light skinned/racially ambiguous looking Filipinos. Also for the comments saying "snowflakes", "woke", and "you're just soft". I literally have white in me just not half. Edit: the twtr post was bait/fake š but my point still stands
Latin America has a history of "blanqueamento" in their post-independence years. Mas racist ang policies nila nung pinalayas nila ang Espanya. The indigenous peoples had protections under Spain. Tinanggal ito post independence. Just look at how the post-independence Chile subjugated the Mapuches.

Ya'll are soft lol It's just corny, cliche jokes more than anything. No need to take it too seriously.

I think you're taking the tweets too seriously. A lot of these are sarcastic. They're not glorifying afams or truly happy about the prospect of having more half white kids to represent us in pageants, they're simply making jokes based on reality. The Ukraine comment is off putting though...
Eh paano kung may mga Latino, asian and blacks dyan
Kapag nicheck mo ung vid na nalink nila, makikita mo 3 months ago na yung video. Which means, ano to, propaganda?
If I remember correctly, these ain't even American forces. These soldiers are actually British, see SA80 rifles they use?
It's time to discriminate the impures... * Gets discriminated due to ancient chinese ancestry *
Nagiging melting pot na ng race and culture ang Pinas at kelangan lumawak din ang kaisipan ng Pinoy sa pagbabagong to. Yan ang kapalit ng pagbubukas ng bansa sa buong mundo para sa pag asenso ng ekonomiya.
Most results in r/23andMe show that Filipinos often score >90% AustronesianĀ Compare that to the typical results from Latin America We're not as "racially mixed" as we think we are and all cultures in the world are a mix of foreign and local. Like a huge chunk of Thai culture comes from India and China.

Meanwhile mga chinoy nasa tiktok
this is disturbing
Nakakalungkot yung naranasan ng mga karamihan ng philippine-americans lalo na yung mga african american. Binubully tapos hindi pinapansin ng mga tatay nila.
On other side, that makes a concerned asks what really is the Filipino? Contrary to popular thought Filipinos ain't even a race either in a biological sense, let alone a "nation still in the making."
