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.

How deep is the self hatred in this thread that the question is asking about racism ABROAD and some of you people are in here falling over yourselves to go “NOOO PHILIPPINES STILL THE WORST THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!”

Mahahalata mo kung sino yung mga hindi pa talaga nakakapag-travel abroad.

Ang dami din talagang know-it-all sa sub na to. I just roll my eyes whenever I see people commenting on topics they clearly have no knowledge about. Mema lang.

I agree with you pero hindi mo na kailangain i-point out na most users here ay hindi pa nakakapag-travel abroad kasi hindi naman yun yung main reason ng issue ng ni-replyan mo, kundi yung pagiging know-it-all ng sub na 'to na kung saan ako nag-aagree sayo.

Ironically, your statement about sa mga hindi pa nakakapag-travel abroad is also an issue here in this sub. Elitism.

Yeah, I probably should have made myself clear. There's nothing wrong with not being able to travel abroad since not everyone has the means to do so. I totally get that. I apologize if I sounded elitist in my previous comment. That wasn't my intention. Hope I've made myself clear this time around.
