Recently in the Philippines there are issues regarding racism. That is because one Korean actress Ms. Lee Da Hae commented and seems like making fun on the accents of Filipino teachers. Most of us Pinoys reacted too much on that issue, lets ask Mr. Webster whats the meaning of RACISM. :D
rac·ism noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\Definition of RACISM
1
: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2
: racial prejudice or discrimination
— rac·ist \-sist also -shist\ noun or adjective
Before we react violently on what Ms. Lee Da Hae said on that television show, lets look ourselves in the mirror first. Most Asian people are racist including Filipinos, and thats the sad truth.
FACTS :
Remember our parents told us when we are young that we will sold to the Bumbays if we become naughty?
Most of us Tagalog speaking people laughed when we heard a Visayan speaks our dialect. And that is because of the accent.
Why is it we are so stereotype regarding Visayans are mostly katulong, that Ilocanos are kuripot or maitim, Pampangos are mayayabang?
Sad to say that most of us calling our brothers in central Luzon "Ita" the ones who has dark skinned and curly hair.
Many of us Filipinos calling Black people "Egoy" when the politically correct term is African American.
