August 25th, 2007 06:27 AM #11imho, i've encountered quite a few "poor" people who are quite mataprobre as well. maybe i'm just being too sensitive, pero madalas akong makakita ng tao sa food court na tatawag pa talaga ng helper na ayusin ung kalat sa table(kahit ilang plastic cups and plates lang ang nakalagay)...i've also seen a few people who treat waiters quite shabbily, parang sobrang ineemphasize ung pagiging customer nila, at ng pagka waiter ng mga waiter(makes sense ba?)

I can't really speak for too many people because they're not here to defend themselves. But, my mom is one such person. She fits in perfectly with Malu Fernandez' crowd. She seemed charitable enough whenever a beggar dropped by the house asking for food and she seems like a good woman who goes to Church regularly. But, she does have flashes of bigotry (same goes for the crowd she's with). The biggest one I've seen thus far is her hate for "Bisaya" and she will resort to drastic action just to show her hate.
To me, it's a big problem because my wife is from Leyte. My wife, daughter, and mother-in-law have not seen my mom face to face up to now. My dad and sister are fine with my wife. But, they're afraid of my mom.
So while I'm happy with my life right now, there's also sadness because a whole half of my life is missing.
My mom is also xenophobic. She looks down on African-Americans and calls them names behind their backs.
Am I proud of her being that way? Of course not. But, she's my mom. We're the same blood. She's as stubborn with her hate as I am in trying to get it out of her system. We're not likely to budge from our positions. That's why I carry the burden of self-exile from the family flock hoping someday she'll come to her senses and accept my wife and her family.
This is also why I'm not likely to resort to name-calling borne out of hate. I mean I do name-call. But, that's among friends and in jest. I do my best not to cross the line where name-calling becomes insulting.
Add: Even in this forum, I know there are such people. A slip of the tongue here and there can be very revealing.Last edited by Jun aka Pekto; August 25th, 2007 at 07:54 AM.

Ako mababa ang tingin ko talaga sa mga taong gagawin lahat umasenso lang. Ung maninira pa, magnanakaw, mag-squat tapos sila pa ung may ganang mag-ask for a relocation site -- these people deserves to be looked down in my opinion.

Napansin ko lang yung mga taong minana lang sa magulang o kaya sinusuportahan ng magulang na mayaman kadalasan sila ang mayabang at matapobre. Pero yung galing sa hirap at yumaman kadalasan sila yung simple lang at rumerespeto sa mahihirap.

OT, pero pag kumakain ba kayo sa McDo or Jollibee nililigpit ba nyo ang tray at tinatapon sa basurahan ang pinagkainan nyo?
