Got this from a friend in the us...
Hate Letter Against Filipinos
This is a hate letter coming from a radio talk show
host Mr. Art Bell from Nevada.
Subject: HATE LETTER
This is a very disturbing open E-mail letter to all
Filipinos around the world; specially here in North
America!, from a man who has the power to reach
millions of people. (he's a radio talk host)
Filipinos.....*make me puke* (Art Bell)
As we've all come to notice, in the past few
decades, Filipinos have begun to infest the United
States like some sort of disease. Their extensive
involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of
the trashy kind of qualities all filipinos tend to
exhibit on a regular basis. You can see this clearly
by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of
most Filipino Americans. Origins of
Pinoys/Pinays:
Are they really asian? Well we've come to accept
the fact the filipinos come from a part of the world
known as South ! East Asia. But the term "Asia"
is used in the wrong way. You may notice that
contemporary Filipino Americans try very hard to
associate themselves with groups that we know as
Asian. I cannot count the number of times I have
seen a 'Third World' Filipino try to connect
themselves to the Chinese or Japanese people.
There is no connection and here's why. The
Philippines is a Third World country. Nothing
respectable has EVER been created by Filipino
people during our entire human history. Young
filipino men in America have become obsessed
with "import racing". They have an enormously
perverted affection for Japanese cars. It's a
common phenomenon. In their minds, these
filipinos somehow believe that they are asian and
that it somehow connects them to Japanese
people and japanese cars. They often take credit
for the ingenuity of Japanese people and say how
it's an "Asian thing". This term..."Asian thing"
derived directly from African American slang "black
thang". "It's a black thang.! " "It's an asian thang."
You can see the connection. It's even funnier that,
in Japan, Filipinos are heavily discriminated
against. The only filipinos that can live
successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes.
But that's the case for most Filipino people no
matter where they live in the world. Now we've
come down to this fact...and it is a fact. Nothing in
Filipino Culture can be seen as Asian. They have
no architectural, artistic, or cultural influence which
is in ANY way, asian. Thinking of the great
countries in Asia such as Japan, Korea, and China
there is no way you can possibly connect the
Philippine Islands. This assault by filipino
americans to connect themselves with the great
peoples of North East Asia is foul and disgusting.
Try visiting a young filipino's web site too. You'll
see something called the "Asian IRC Ring". It has
to do with the chatrooms. The most horrible thing
about this is that these TRASHY people are trying
to associate themselves with ! Asia again!!
People in Asia don't act like, this at all. What we
are seeing here is the natural Filipino in it's
element with full access to technology and this is
how they act! You will consistently see this
behavior over and over again. Another interesting
thing is that these "thirdworld" people also frequent
IRC chatrooms such as ...chinese ..japan
and ..asian. They must believe that they are some
how related racially or culturally to North Asians.
But it's completely WRONG! There might have
been some distant contact With China and even
less with Japan during World War II, but these
people are actually more closely related to african
americans and Mexican americans. Do the
parents of these young filipinos know what's going
on? Would they accept this? I believe that they
would and do. This is the natural "Trash" element
in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever
come from Philippines and I don't believe anything
good ever will.
Recognizing your Roots (! A Message to Filipinos).
To all filipino people:
Please recognize your ROOTS! You come from
the Third World! You country is a disgusting and
filthy place. Most people there live in poverty! Your
culture has MUCH MORE SPANISH influence than
chinese, and absolutely no JAPANESE influence
whatsoever. People in Japan and China, do not act
like you. They do not constantly talk about ***
and they have a MUCH HIGHER level of RESPECT
for each other. There is NO WAY that you can
connect yourself to Asia other than location. Your
culture and technological advancement does not
even come CLOSE to What Chinese, people have
done in the past and what Japanese and Korean
people are doing now! Everything you do is
distinctly filipino. You cannot take credit for
Japanese cars, video games, or Hentai! It's not
an "asian thing" it's, an "American thing". You
have no concept of culture..no concept of asian
ideas or asian philosophy! Can you demonstrate
how you use Confucianism or Taoism in y! ou
everyday life?? You can't. And you will NEVER be
able to. I understand that you are trying to create
an identity for yourselves as young people... but it
is NOT related to Asia. Your Identity is Filipino.
That's all you are. Just Filipino. Think about what
that means....
Sincerely,
Art

In reply to this email a filipina wrote her own
thoughts about it..you gOo gurl..=)
I find this funny, he is right in some ways where
we, as Filipinos don't actually have an "Identity". I
think this is due to the confusion of our mixed
races from Hispanic, Chinese, American and
Malay origins. I see it in malls, imagine young
generations wearing ski caps and ski goggles in a
tropical country, baggy low rise pants like that of
African Americans living in the Bronx of New York,
not to mention endless whitening products being
sold at department stores and drug stores. But his
ignorance also blinds him from the other truth. That
while we may glorify Anime shows and Japa! nese
Internet gaming, he is not aware that a nameless
Filipino may be responsible for some technical
aspects of some Japanese software. He is not
aware of our contribution to the the society in
general .Technological advancements that may
have aided post war navigations and landing on the
moon. That the antibiotic Erythromycin was
discovered by Dr. Abelardo Aguilar from Iloilo
creating the brand "Ilosone". Thomas Edison may
have discovered the electric light bulb and the
fluorescent lighting was thought up by Nikola
Tesla. But the fluorescent lamp we use today was
invented by Agapito Flores (a Cebuano named
Benigno Flores of Bantayan Island, according to
the Philippine Daily inquirer), a Filipino
scientist.Americans helped then-Philippine leader
Ramon Magsaysay to develop it for worldwide
commerce. That the personal physician of former
U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton is Eleanor "Connie"
Concepcion Mariano, a Filipina doctor who was the
youngest captain in the US Navy. A Filipino writer !
Jose Rizal could read and write at age 2, and grew
up to speak more than 20 languages, including
Latin, Greek, German, French and Chinese. Or
that a Filipino genius was responsible for the near
hiatus in the PENTAGON and White HOuse nearly
infiltrationg their closely guarded secrets with
the "ILOVEYOU" bug. Nuisance maybe, but still
one heck of a 'beautiful mind'...not to be
underestimated.
The list goes on and on, but who cares right?
Certainly not Mr. Art Bell...
Boy, I'm not surprised. Perhaps Art Bell does not
know that although we consider ourselves ASIAN
because we are strategically located in the
Southeast asian region of which our nearest
neighbors are Malays, ASIA does not mean only
Chinese and Japanese race of people. Then
maybe it is his connotation that "Asia" meant only
our economically successful, paler brothers and he
considers Malays such as Thais, Malaysians,
Indonesians, and ourselves as a "Third World"
race. Then it is "his" ignonimity tha! t would make
a civilized person of whatever race puke. Imagine
literally connecting Chinese, Koreans and
Japanese to the Philippine Islands which is
archipelagos away from the countries he has
mentioned. I also wonder where he got the
impression that we aspire to be Japanese(???)
Hispanics maybe but not the Japanese. But even
Hispanics today do not mind sharing
their "surnames" to their Asian brothers who they
have colonized for 3 centuries. Another sad reality
that although most Filipinos working overseas are
domestic helpers and prostitutes, who does he
think educates the toddlers of Hong Kong,
Singapore, Taiwan and Tokyo? Parents of these
countries rarely have time spent with their children,
leaving them to their Filipino nannies. And with
regards to prostitution. Filipinos are not the only
ones working as one. I HARDLY SEE FILIPINOS
STARRING IN **** MOVIES. THERE MIGHT BE
A FEW FILIPINOS WE HAVEN'T SEEN , BUT
MOST ARE FROM MR. ART BELL'S RACE.
He also mentioned that we h! ave no concept of
culture..no concept of asian ideas or asian
philosophy. How can we demonstrate
Confucianism or Taoism in a Christian nation?
IS HE INFORMED THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS
THE ONLY PREDOMINANTLY
CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC NATION IN ASIA?!
YOU HAVE TO USE COMMON SENSE IN A LOT
OF THINGS SOMETIMES...
We do not need to create an identity for ourselves.
We are who we are. Our identity stems from the
anonymity we live in this world. How we contribute
silently towards the progress of the world and not
just one country. Although the Filipino blood may
be tainted with malice, corruption, poverty and
prostitution, it is not a perfect race... But so are
the others. Maybe Mr. Art Bell needs to think
about this.
WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT MR. BELL BUT AT
LEAST WE STILL HAVE VALUES. FOR ONE
THING WE DONT PUT OUR AGING PARENTS IN
NURSING HOMES BECAUSE "THEY'RE SIMPLY
OLD AND WORTHLESS". WE DONT HAVE AS
MUCH NUMBERS OF SINGLE MOTHERS WHO
GET PREGNANT IN THEIR VERY EARLY TEEN!
S AND EVENTUALLY BECOME PARASITES OF
THE GOVERNMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
YES...WE CAME TO YOUR COUNTRY TO
WORK, TO EARN DECENT MONEY (HALF OF
WHICH BY THE WAY GOES TO TAXES
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SOCIAL
PARASITES FROM YOUR RACE). AND BY THE
WAY, MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE THAT I
WORK WITH DONT COME FROM YOUR RACE...
THEY'RE ACTUALLY IMMIGRANTS TOO. AND
THOSE EDUCATED ONES DO NOT ACT LIKE
YOU DO, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY'VE
REALLY BEEN WELL EDUCATED. AFTER ALL
THAT'S SAID...WHO IS THE IGNORANT ONE
AGAIN?!

not to mention i'm sick and tired of all this "agapito flores invented the fluorescent bulb" thing. and erythromycin was not "discovered" by a filipino. according to the only documentation i could find, he SENT FUNGI SAMPLES TO ELI LILLY. but darnit, almost ALL fungi produce antibiotics. bzzzt!
filipinos react to the discrimination against them by self-aggrandizement. and it annoys the heck out of me. there are enough smart pinoys out there without stupid pinoys coughing up these outrageous claims.
