I don't know if you have watched David Letterman's Show when he used Filipino-American for his top ten reasons, but this certainly show we are an emerging group in this diversed society to be featured in Dave's famous TV show..
This is not humiliate Filipinos(i myself is Filipina!)
but it really made me laugh!

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn't Be a Filipino-American US President,
By David Letterman

10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.

9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics, 2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW and an MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.

7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House - where will they put the picture of the Last Supper?

6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden spoon and fork

5. Secret Service staff won't respond to "psst... psst" or 'hoy?.hoy?hoy?'

4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.

2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".

AND THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY THERE COULDN'T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS...

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

I've seen that episode. The top ten list is funny and I'm pretty certain a Pinoy wrote that - I think a couple of Letterman's staffwriters are Fil-Ams. It's funny yet true though, especially that thing about giant wooden spoon and fork. You know what else they forgot - our habit of bringing brooms when we go to the States. ^^

Oh, Ilocanos have that habit. Especially if it's a broom from Baguio City. ^^
