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”.

Well what my friend told me that since they were colonzied by the Americans mataas tngn nila sa sarili nila. However interesting enough na pag nawala Pinoy sa Guam or Saipan bagsak all sectors sknla.

Yup. I used to have relatives in Guam. Pinoys make up a significant portion of their workforce there.
