They call Filipinos "monkeys"???!!

..And here I am,thinking that today, a lot of nations and races are already open-minded.Let them call us whatever names they like,let's just work on proving to those nationals that we are a strong,smart, and brave race.

jealousy. i've never heard anyone call a phil a monkey before, but if a phil is a monkey, then the rest of us are snakes. phils are very respectful people. my fav.

Unfortunately, there are many of your countrymen in my country that doesn't behave themselves well and has been giving your country's bad image. But I know they are from the southern part or from the islands of your country. For your info, I am from Sabah, Malaysia. Their presence as illegals has become a big political issue and a political gimmick each time when there is an election.

That's one risk of being in another land aside from your country. Although not all foreigners are like that, it's not really fair to call people names. Anyway, it's really not a fair world we have. And we Filipinos but not all also call foreigners' names as bad as them calling us monkeys. I heard someone while strolling down the boulevard she called a foreigner gorrilla and giggled with all of her friends. Anyways, just do your work with a clean heart and conscience and evrything will be alright.

Hi ms. kharen. Relax, keep your cool. I guess not all foreigners are the same. Some are even good to filipinos. Don't get angry because they call us monkeys and some names. Why? First, well, it's not really true. Second, most foreigners prefer marrying a Filipina rather than their own race. They find true caring and love with filipians. Thirdly, we also call them names and worse monickers that I will not mention. Just be happy that we are not like them. We are filipino, we are of kind heart and spirit. cheers!

yes this is true,i was called a monkey too.... i was really hurt... and i'm not yet over it.. when i see my image in the mirror.. i keep on wondering.. am i so ugly?

i have not personally here some foreigners calls filipino as such. But i have heard alot of discrimination about Filipinos in different cases though.. it is not right, but we are living on another land, so we can do anything much about it, and let's face, we are sometimes bias on our own culture, and tend to say somethings about them too. we just need to respect other culture, so that they respect ours back.. All we can do is excel in the different skills or areas that we are best for as Filipinos, and be the best in everything we do so that our family and country would be proud of us. We must show those foreigners that we are the best...

kharen, dont get so much affected by all these things. Even religions are also being discriminated. We cannot do anything about it. Imagine, some people would call muslims as terrorist. Things like that. For me, I don't care if you are American, Filipino, Asian, Indian whatsoever, we are all the same. They eat, they release their dirt, they work, they go to sleep, there is not difference. God will punish those people who are very discriminative though. So don't worry, everybody is responsible for his or her own actions, God will make sure of it.. Or if they don't believe in God, well I guess they have conscience too that they will think what if they are to be treated that way. So relax and live with it... why did something happen to you? Do you have bad experiences? I'm a Filipino too.. Well to be fair for those who call us monkeys sometimes you can't blame them, maybe they have met some bad filipinos so that's the result of their behavior. -thanks by "batman"
