But Bitcointalkers know jackjack.   Grin

Lol exactly. As soon as I saw this thread I thought of Honeypot  Grin.



The cure for racism is intermarriage. Resources are shared, an understanding of each others culture is learned.

The cure for racism is to stop being an angry and ignorant cunt. Racists are racists because of their own ignorance and missplaced hatred and need somebody else to blame for their failings in life. Only they're too ignorant to know they should be blaming themselves so they blame others and the world thinking it owes them something. Travelling the world is a great eye-opener, but lets face it most racists don't even manage to get out of their own country never mind continent.

The most racist people in the world are government people. Why? Because my race says racism is great. And their race says that racism is wrong and bad. Yet, I don't attempt to force my races racism on anyone. But they try to force their racism on me. Hypocritical government.

 Huh

Not government mandated sensitivity classes, inclusiveness doctrine, and affirmative action?

You mean if we just go for which girls or guys are hot everything works out?

Incredibly long article, but it was interesting in a twisted kind of way. Here are some random thoughts on it.

This punk rock girl is just flat crazy. She has totally internalized a bunch of US ghetto trash rap. With her vocabulary and attitudes, are you really sure that she is native filipina?

You are absolutely right on with this comment: White Privilege In The Philippines Means Getting Charged More For Everything. This decreases as you learn the language. If you are new and don't know any tagalog, expect to pay almost double for everything. If you can argue prices in tagalog (since they suddenly lose all ability to speak english), you can get that "white privilege tax" down to almost nothing.

I even had a cashier try to overcharge me in grocery store with fixed prices. I had picked up a string of 8 powdered milk for about 20 pesos each (not sure price anymore), which would be 160 pesos. She tried to charge me 160 pesos for each milk making the price 1280 pesos. I argued with her, then the manager. They each insisted that I was wrong on the price. Finally I walked to the counter, picked up a large powdered milk package for about a 100 pesos, told them to cancel the strip and I would buy the package instead. Suddenly, the manager spoke english and said "oh, never mind, I sell you those others for 20 pesos each". I could say I wasted half an hour arguing, but I will just think of it as a free tagalog lesson instead.

The easiest way to avoid all of this for most people is just to make sure you have a filipina girl with you. Let her do the negotiating. I guess that is where white privilege has it's benefits.

I like the girls calling me "joe". They usually smile and I take it as a term of endearment.

Everyone knows the Chinese are competitive - ask any southeast Asian country (except Singapore) what race they detest the most for their aggressive/deceitful business practices?

I have some Filipino friends and it's true that they are very religious and have different viewpoint of life than western people.
It's different culture and tradition completely but what is the most sad point for me, they are very poor, living in very bad conditions...

Quote from: AnonyMint
I'm an age 49 US citizen who has lived in the Philippines for the majority of the past 20 years.

You don't understand the filipina's very astute points, because you haven't sufficiently immersed yourself into the culture. Her point could perhaps be best summarized that you haven't endured their pain, thus you have no emotional basis from which to identify with their struggle. Until you've lived in a squalor area and suffer daily dysentery and amoebas, you are just an admired white guy.

You apparently are unaware that filipinos refuse pain medication even when dying of cancer. Filipinos desire struggle and pain as this is the way they display the sincerity of their emotions and their devotion to the Lord. For example, I mentioned to a pinay that the ebola virus might spread into a pandemic, and she said struggling in death was the decision of God and was her payment for passage to heaven.

Until you can endure the pain they endure, your armchair rants are embarrassing for me to read as a white male who has adopted and experienced their culture as in experiencing their pain.

Righteous young man, I hope this has been helpful to you. Matthew 7 applies in spades. God bless.
