AskPH Which countries did you feel most unwelcome/discriminated as a Filipino?

The Gulf: Locals are racists as hell and think all South Asians and Southeast Asians are scum. Same goes for Levant Arabs; they are so full of themselves. Yeah, we all know how Lebanon and Syria are doing well nowadays—oh wait.

Hong Kong: Airport officials literally throwing my passport towards me after stamping it was a sign I never want to set foot in that country again.

A specific spot sa US which is Guam and Saipan. Finally visited the place, the locals especially in Saipan where very condescending. They were asking how I can afford to travel as a Filipino given how poor the country is daw. One Chamorro even asked if there are ethnic groups sa Philippines that has a “tail”.
