And we cry foul then, making such a big fuss about it and threatening to blacklist the offending parties. Yet we do it all the time "in the spirit of fun and creativity." It's almost ingrained in Filipino pop culture even.<br /><br />I have a good friend who's of Indian descent and who actually spent a couple of years in the Philippines - I still don't know how to explain to her these Filipino jabs about "Boombay" - like if a kid misbehaves, he is told to straighten up lest he be taken by "Boombay."

The first four paragraphs you tried to set-up the readers were utterly disgusting and irritating that I knew the whole article would be irrelevant. Yes we filipinos are racists but it's simply because we don't know what it means to be one. You didn't make an argument to support your title less so you tried to make a point that is totally misleading. Racism is political and it's pointless to talk about it here inside our country. But Filipinos living outside the country totally get it. I even once joked to my Malaysian friend that in Singapore for example, you could classify people by their ethnicity: Chinese, Malay, Indian, etc. But in Manila, you just classify them into two: jaywalkers and non-jaywalkers. All you talked about is body-odor which is not even a racist behavior at all. They chose to have that kind of lifestyle. Ethnicity you cannot. So, I guess you'd be deleting this comment for sure but I suggest you delete this whole article along with it because it's you that is disgusting, trying to make money off of other people's misfortunes.

I am not against to what Iranians have to do with their smell or height but I was quite upset seeing some of their players intentionally causing foul acts (or if that wasn't intentional please forgive me for my not-so-broad mind LOL :D). Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for posting this. I am truly impressed. I hope every single Filipino would read and contemplate on this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208483870515384898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552563595912989062.post-63361758901678422512013-08-12T22:47:43.242+08:002013-08-12T22:47:43.242+08:00I think the Gilas boys has every right to say that...I think the Gilas boys has every right to say that they are proud to be Filipinos... but for us fans... we should NOT take credits for their achievements... instead of saying "I'm proud to be Pinoy"... we should say I'm proud of the Gilas Pilipinas for their gallant efforts in the Asian Championship... we should be proud of them not of ourselves... this too applies to Azkals, Manny Pacquiao, and even Erik Spoelstra... those guys achieved something in their respective fields and we should be proud of them...Donmakleshttp://theunknowngazette.blogspot.co.nz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552563595912989062.post-81978148654655467772013-08-12T10:01:18.646+08:002013-08-12T10:01:18.646+08:00I so agree with this.
