We Filipinos eat with our hands, drive crazy on the road, point with our lips
I created an account today because I received an email from a Filipino organization at UCSD regarding the offensiveness of this article. I read the article to form my own opinion and I was sad to agree with the organization that sent the link to me. The language and presentation of Filipino stereotypes is very demeaning to other Filipinos and it is misleading for those uninformed about the culture. This article serves to uphold those negative stereotypes as true and undesirable features of a culture, rather than objectively describing the "Filipino Rules" that readers were expecting to read about. While I appreciate an attempt at describing a culture in detail, I do not believe that culture should be subject to such ridicule and embarrassment without any objective information. I would hope the San Diego Reader would show much more sensitivity about publicizing and promoting racial slurs in degrading articles.— March 15, 2010 10:46 p.m.
