Whay are some European countries racist when it comes to Indians and Pakistanis?

randoh @randoh (62) • Philippines 13 Jan 10

The image of Indians and Pakistanis are not that good. Why do some people look down on them? Is it cultural in the part of the east asians or is it a European thing.

kingpong @kingpong (166) • Philippines 15 May 09

Hi guys. I just registered for the upcoming 2010 national election. Im ashamed to admit that Im 29 and I have not cast my vote yet. I guess i was too lazy to register before. That being the case, Im curious to know who you voted...

randoh I voted for Gloria. I didnt particularly like her then, but she was the only one who stood a chance of beating FPJ. If I had voted for Roco, my vote would have been wasted.

randoh In hindsight that was a regrettable thing to say, but the issues they faces when that statement was made was totally different. Its easier to wrest power from animals after all.

randoh Best for what? Best for you? Probably Cebu. The urban environment of many without the hassles. Best for me? Stay in Manila. Its getting crowded in here. I lived in Manila for 5 years, and I can say that the difference is huge. The commute time alone...

randoh I think your overreacting. The joke could be considered in bad taste, but it wasnt offensive to me. I think it just hit too close to home for some. It is true, after all. Were too thin-skinned sometimes.

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 21 May 09

randoh Hmm... legislative should be made public anyway. There are sites that take care of that. I think its the transactions of the government that should be posted on the internet. Contracts, bids, etc.

Were you insulted?

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 22 May 09

Heard about Alec Baldwin's joke about getting a Filipino mail-order bride and Senator Ramon Revilla reacting to that joke? I think it was an over reaction on the Senator's side. It was joke... It was actually a FUNNY joke and I...

randoh Nope, not insulted at all. Even if the statement was made in jest, the fact is, there are a lot of mail order brides here. The fact that Ramon Revilla claims to speak for out countrymen is the bigger insult. An insult to our intelligence. Why did this person...

randoh I dont think technology is the issue here. Sure our tech for special effects is lacking, but there are creative ways to go around some of them. Tagalog movies are just bad. Awful everything. Predictable and corny. There are roles that you see over and over...
