Charlie’s angel’ Filipino ‘slur’ stirs cyber storm
LOS ANGELES—A random comment made by Hollywood actress Lucy Liu on “The Late Show with David Letterman” has sparked a debate in cyberspace.
Did the Chinese-American film and TV star (“Charlie’s Angels,” “Ally McBeal”) intend to insult an entire country when she said she was careful not to look a “little Filipino”?
Netizens weighed in on the Inquirer website (Test Page for the Apache HTTP Server & InterWorx-CP.
net) and Twitter account (*InqEnt).
One jested: “Maybe she meant she might look like Pokwang.” (Filipino comedienne Pokwang has claimed that she is Liu’s long-lost twin.)
Another pointed out: “I’m singkit (chinky-eyed) but kayumanggi (brown-skinned). I’m proud of it and I’m not offended.”
Understandably, there were a lot of angry comments. This one was harsher on those: “Pilipinas, ang OA mo (Philippines, you’re overacting)!”
Out of context
In the meantime, Liu has apologized.
“I am so sorry that my comment was taken out of context, as I would never insult another group or ethnicity,” the actress told the Inquirer when asked to comment about her controversial statement as Letterman’s guest on October 11.
When the TV host asked Liu, who is shooting her new TV series, “Elementary,” if she enjoyed running indoors or outdoors, she replied: “I run on a machine—it’s easier for me. Also, if I get really dark, I’ll start to look a little Filipino. It wouldn’t match if I start getting darker, you know what I mean? I can get really dark if I’m in the sun too much.”
Liu’s remark quickly elicited criticisms and complaints in online blog posts and social media sites, for being “racist.”
In a statement given to the Inquirer through her publicist, Carrie Gordon, Liu explained: “Just to clarify, I was explaining why I do not run or exercise outdoors, as my skin tans very easily. Because I am presently playing a character with New York during the autumn/winter season as backdrop, it is important that I keep my look consistent with this type of environment.”
At press time, Liu has not answered the Inquirer’s follow-up question: Why she used the phrase “a little Filipino” if she had been concerned only about the consistency of her character’s skin color. Liu plays Dr. Joan Watson to Jonny Lee Miller’s Sherlock Holmes in “Elementary,” a modern-day take on the popular detective fiction series.—With a report from Bayani San Diego Jr.

October 17th, 2012 12:15 PM #3Her comment was taken out of context. I watched the whole interview.....
She was being interviewed by Letterman and the topic was about her role in the new TV series "Elementary". Her role is a "Chinese American" doctor. She just stated that if she gets tanned/darker, it would not fit her role as she was supposed to be "chinese", not "filipino". she used to word "little" kasi she is literally short, 5'1" in height.....
Dapat inaalam muna ng Philippine media yan. Kagabi sa Bandila, hindi na -explain yun eh.... basta sinabi lang na ayaw niyang maging Filipino dahil daw kayumanggi

October 17th, 2012 12:47 PM #9tuwing dumadating ang US armed forces sa Pinas hahanapin ng ABSCBN mga pinoy na US servicemen at iinterbyuhin... sasabihin proud sila of being pinoy
nanalo sa whatever contest ang isang half-pinoy anywhere in the world ABSCBN will feature it
kahit di pa nakatuntong ng Pinas... basta may dugo pinoy... kahit 1/4 lang... kahit konting achievement lang...
pinoy pride!

October 17th, 2012 03:36 PM #18If you can't find news....manufacture it!
Seriously, the level of professionalism in the news and current affairs division of ABS-CBN has reached an all-time low after Maria Ressa left. Most of the news programs, i.e. TV Patrol, Bandila, etc. contain editorials by the newscasters themselves.

October 17th, 2012 04:06 PM #20big freakin' deal.
wala yan sa hyper sensitive reaction ng mga hapon lately. binigyan ng japanese embassy ng strongly worded diplomatic protest ang isang tv channel sa france dahil sa photoshopped photo parody ng isang japanese national na member ng japanese national football team aka blue samurais. tame iyan compared sa so-called online out roar dito.
talk about a warrior nation being onion skinned
true. straightforward news deliveredIf you want news as it is....check out Solar News on cable TV.Last edited by baludoy; October 17th, 2012 at 04:10 PM.
