Local discrmination?

[Galactus]

It's not confined naman to Pinoys, it's a universal trait.

Americans residing in the East Coast usually make fun of Southerners, or those with Southern accents. Same thing in Germany, wherein pronunciation of certain words can reflect your economic background, and thus subject the speaker to condescension.

I've been to the east coast. The northerners may get amused by the southern accent. But, they don't look down on the guy like he's trash the way many Tagalogs do on Bisaya folks.

Count my mom as one. That's why we haven't been on speaking terms for years now. She always say I'm welcome to come home anytime. But, my "Bisaya" wife will have to stay outside. Very frustrating......

Yup. It's very frustrating. It's sad to know my daughters may grow up never having met their other grandma....

I am an ilonggo, and I frequently fly to manila on business trips. Funny thing is that Manila folks tend to still believe that napakarural pa ng lugar namin. As in meron nga nagsabi na magsawa na raw akong manood ng sine kasi baka wala raw sa amin ng mga sinehan. And they make fun of the way we speak, but one thing i noticed was that, we rural folks still practice proper grammar. Sa kanila nga e bunging english (meron pang mga pasakalyeng "kasi you know, basta its like ". I have no quarrels with urbanites but medyo irritating na rin kung minsan. peace

Ang pakiramdam ko mas maganda quality ng education sa probinsya.

Kahit nga ako nahahawa na sa tinu tukoy mo. Parang nakakapag practice lang ako ng tamang grammar pag me mga bisita kami na taga province.
I use to travel a lot and i am always very carefull in speaking tagalog, because out of the centers if you speak tagalog you are either a tourist or
The Philippine Army.

My family is Tagalog, Ibanag and Bikol mix, i have noticed this kinds of discrimination growing up. My Tagalog folks discriminate against Pilipino (manila type of tagalog) speakers, the my Ibanag side only speaks English, Ibanag and Ilokano if there are guests. My Bikol side would speak in bikol, make sarcastic remarks in tagalog argue in Spanish, and consider everyone that speaks slow stupid.

As for me I speak Pilipino,Bikol and English.And can follow conversations in ilongo,spanish. Never learned Ibanag.

It sure is. I love my mom for giving me life and raising me. But, I can't abide by that behavior of hers. Her hatred is venomous in the utmost way even after all these years.

I'm resigned at this point. But, I have a family of my own to mind and can't dwell on the situation. Life goes on.....

Local and International discrimination are everywhere,you can't blame them for that... some because of life status/standings, others due to security/safety reasons, colors/features/smells...you have to be careful nowadays who you are dealing with...

are you telling us that it is ok to practice discrimination?

[theveed]

"you can't blame them for that"????

maybe you mean "can't do anything about that"?
