For the last two weeks I've
been playing DotA been resting and watching television. I am now posting the such so wonderful world of the net. And with the internet is the freedom of speech. With the freedom of speech, there are different things that can hurt to a person and also in a country.
As we all know now, there is a columnist in Hong Kong(Chip Tsao) who wrote an article about the Spratly conflict between China and Philippines.
Click it for you to see!
This is what you called Racial Discrimination. He called us nation of slaves! He said that we don't flex our muscles for it! As far as I know slaves flex their muscles so much that they wan their rest! This is just the basics of racial discrimination. He also said that he hung up a map and lecture Louisa about Spratlys. Let's find a map with Spratly in it.
Oh! Here it is!
Can't he see that Spratly is near Philippines. One other thing is that Philippines and Vietnam has the most islands owned. The most right fact that China can own it is that it is in a South China Sea. As I see to it, Spratlys is far from China. That's one fact.
He also says that the article is a Satire which means:
Satirical works often contain "straight" (non-satirical) humour - usually to give some relief from what might otherwise be relentless "preaching". This has always been the case, although it is probably more marked in modern satire. On the other hand some satire has little or no humour at all. It is not "funny" - nor is it meant to be.

I would like to emphasize in the part where satire has little or no humor at all. The said words made Filipinos enraged against that person. They said(the persons in that site/magazine) that Filipinos don't understand the satire in it. And let us be back to the said meaning. It is said that satire has a little or no humor at all. Which the Filipinos found that there is no humor in it. The said words by the columnist were pretty straight. That's what we Filipinos see to it.
Bringing this to a point that Racial Discrimination is not fun at all. Especially to us Filipinos, as much as you think that our works in other places are not that good jobs. They do that for the survivability of their own family in their homes hoping to see their family member working their butts off. For many years that Philippines was colonized by foreign countries, we know how to protect ourselves against people who can destruct our dignity. This is why there is a great rage of Filipinos.
I know this sounds lame but I am just saying my expression about it and some truths and understanding of what a normal Filipino do.
This is not a normal job for a teenage Filipino to say what's on his mind but it is his will to say what's on his mind.
