*Please pass/forward this to every Filipino you know.
*I read this from Philippine Daily Inquirer A27 Sunday, July 1, 2001
-Ella
The article is wrtitten by a certain Art Bell, a talk radio host who
broadcasts his show from his home in Nevada. The program is aired over
400 stations across US.
In the article,"Filipinos...make me puke," Bell lambastes Filipinos,
our culture and way of life.
This piece is so degrading "so it's important that after reading it,
no one attacks him(Bell) but responds to him in a civilized manner
because otherwise, his thoughts will be reaffirmed."
These are excerpts from Bell's article:
"The Philippines is a Third World country. Nothing respectable has
ever been created by Filipino during our entire human history. Nothing
good has ever come from Philippines and I don't beleive anything good ever
will.
"In Japan, Filipinosare heavily discriminated against. The only
Filipino that can live successfully in Japan are the Filipino prostitutes...
"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.
"To all Filipino people: Please recognize your roots! You come from
the Third World! Your 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...There is no way you
can connect yourselves 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!
"You have no concept of culture...no concept of Asian ideas or
philosophy!
"Can you demonstrate how you use Confucianism or Taoism in your daily
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..."
