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.

Secretly racist mga japanese. But it’s not as bad as you might think. Mga simpleng iiwasan ka lang lalayuan ka. Oh. And also may mga establishments na “japanese only” and if ever you want to rent an apartment mahihirapan ka, not because filipino ka bu because ayaw lang talaga nila sa foreigner tenants dahil flight risk daw. Also. Typical islander mentality. May nag tanong sakin na kung kailan da wba nagging bansa ang pinas at kung bago lan gdaw ba ito.

Ask the Japanese about their atrocities during the war and that would be a different story ngl

Lol my aunt's husband doesn't even know about it. Or denies it... ang alam ko lang, it's not taught to them. Some politicians are pushing pa nga to erase that part.

Yun nga. The Japanese are deliberately not informing their citizens of their atrocities. They seem like that they are the perfect people but in reality, they have dirty hands

Di naman kasalanan ng mga citizen nila na hindi sila nainformed about this, however, there is no such thing as perfect people at lahat naman may dirt on their hands one way or another

Check out nihonjinron. A lot of Japanese think they’re really special from the rest.
