Pero huwana din tawag sa Filipino diba? Chinese din nagsabi sakin, kilala mo siya, same business kayo, you mentioned his name to me. Yun explanation niya sakin.

oo nga huwana (without the "po") is pinoy

kaya nga pag huwana-po --- that's a pinay

ung "po" means woman

huwanapo can mean maid coz pinoy na babaeng kasambahay

pero it can also mean pinoy na babae in general (not necessarily kasambahay)

Yun talaga kina aasar ko na maid is called huwanapo

Parang slave nga e, like white people owning nig-3rs.

i guess ang origin niyan long ago when intsiks came to PH and saw people eating with their hands and other things they observed they called the people barbaric and it stuck

Cathy when Spaniards ruled PH they also had their own terminology for the natives diba?

diba there was this controversy dati a dictionary (Oxford?) included the word "filipina" to mean maid?

They called the natives as indios, as derogatory as calling the Filipino Chinese as Intsik or Chekwa. The rich Filipinos during the Spanish era beg to differ and called themselves as illustrado (educated).

Originally, "Filipino" refers to those born in the Philippines but of Spanish parentage. "Peninsulares", considered the highest class, refers to people of Spanish Parentage and born in Spain. "Indios", considered the lowest class, are those natives inhabiting the Philippines and (presumably) born in the Philipines too. There was also the "mestizo" -- born of Spanish and native blood. Lastly, there was also the "moro" muslims and the "aetas" -- considered as outcasts. It was really only much later that "Filipinos" came to refer to anyone who hails from the Philippines.

People have their own racist ways. The practice has been there ever since and we have learned to live with it.

The Spaniards look down on the Chinese, the same way as the American or Europeans do. This is the reason why the Chinese built their own towns and cemeteries outside of the walls/communities built by the Spaniards or Americans.

In Rizal's Noli, it was written that the remains of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra's dad was transferred to a Chinese cemetery to segregate him from the non-heretical Catholics. It clearly shows the disdain of the Spaniards against the Chinese.

True. Up until now elders of spanish origin look down on the Chinese (kahit anong yaman pa ng Chinese, mababa tingin nila) but it's not as garapal as the Chinese looking down on Filipinos

To be fair, sir, in every race, racism exists. I don't think anyone's angry with you.
