we can't fix other people, we have to start with ourselves. and being a Filipino, our greatest hurdle is Colonial Mentality. it is fed to us first from our home, in our school and then our society.
Correct colonial mentality to bow down to somebody not filipino. #cancelkorean
Jett Logan You are so very right. In my Country it started in the school, not teaching history honestly and accurately.
@@jeromebaker2925 history is written by the victor. So no matter how you put it history is always going to be subjective
Yes!! Specially the obsession of being mix
Blaming colonial mentality for your attitude, prejudice, racism and whatever is a sign of insecurity and intellectual as well as moral cowardice. The greatest hurdle is you.
Isn't it upsetting Filipinos keep watching these Pinoy baiting youtubers and it gets around 500k views and this one only gets 20k. I wish more Filipinos watch these.
thank you :/
Same here. Put "indonesia" word in the tittle, and BOOM,,
Some people are gullible, they just watch meaningless videos.

Racism here is kinda the opposite, We degreade our own race and think superior of other races besides us.
😭😭
Damn, you're right bruh. It's pretty common, specially younger generations.
@Ray Ramirez 💯 true!
thank you colonialism.
@Ray Ramirez so you haven't been to Africa yet? Lol
i am an African, my advice is don't over think things, don't go out looking for racism except you're a journalist or something, learn to grow a tough skin and keep living life
Good advice! 👍🏼
Ugh! feel the positive energy here.
exactly. i have stopped worrying about bias. and have accepted the fact that its human nature. it is ingrained in our genetics. i have felt it myself many times.
yea
true!
" i want to be a racist" thats what i said when my elementary teacher asked me what do i want to become when i grow up cos i didnt know it should be a racer.
wait what
😂
😂
Lmao. That's hilarious.
Imagine what went down at the parent teacher conference afterwards 😂
Prof. Xiao Chua's students are lucky. He's the kind of person I want to have an inuman session with.
That's exactly what I thought when I listened to him. He is a very smart guy and probably one hell of a good teacher.
Yes!
my prof told a story in class that he was a student of xiao chua, tho, they never had a chance to meet again, my prof always told us that he was a very nice person and a good teacher
He's a nice man. Very personable and helpful.
You got me laughing out here hahahaha😂
Well its not just in the country, actually its everywhere. Lets be honest there everywhere
Well, you aren't wrong
Yeah period it's not a country problem it's a human problem
@Angela Pabillore I wouldn't say all
@d•¤•bFacts,im a filipina and i know the people in my country, they we're some good and bads,not all pilipino are good.There are some,you know.
@d•¤•b Okay,thanks.
racism is everywhere not only in Philipines but the whole world, we need to removed RACISM and respect people no matter what they looks, respect cultures
And that starts from your own race. Huwag na isisi sa ibang race, dahil contributor ka rin dapat magsimula sayo mismo
There’s a lot of racism that exsists in the US towards California migrants moving to other states.
Matindi dito sa tin kpag bumbay ka sbhan ka amoy putok pag chibese ka sbhan ka covid o tsekwa
Personal thought: Filipinos are not racist to foreigners, but we are racist to own kind😥😔 which is very sad. I guess having a crab mentally had rooted deeply than we thought 😑
samsor haij mohammad I don’t know what experience you had with Filipinos but don’t put filipino under a shell like that... there are good and bad people in every country.
@samsor haij mohammad sure hate a whole country, what a dumbass.
@samsor haij mohammad well I can't stand Arabs too. So...
That isn't called racism since we have the same race.
It's actually bullying, Discrimanation, etc.
Filipinos discriminate non-white foreigners
The fact that Sir Xiao is well-knowledgeable about our history makes him a filipino, and yet najudge pa din sya. Power sayo Sir Xiao Chua!
His statements are very on point.
Have a problem saying it in English? Like everywhere you go you speak your fucking annoying Tagalog! Do you even comprehend how annoying and rude you are in public places? Actually I think you are very aware of how rude you are.
@@bearknuckles100 um who are u talking to?

Philippines is so westernized that they praise you if you speak English, lighter skin, mix race..etc the mindset is so different.
Yes, the Philippines is racist.
@@wallacegentry4085 more on colonial mentality. That is what you get when you are being colonized more than once.
"Ang pinakamatinding kalaban sa lahat ay sarili natin". - Heneral Luna
true
I'm Filipino by blood but born and raised American. Something I've noticed, especially about the older generations of my family, is that there's a lot of passive racism ingrained in their mentality. They don't actually hate any race or ethnic group--in fact, they're quite generous to anyone they encounter--but they are very forthcoming about which skin colors and facial features they consider attractive and unattractive. They will literally welcome dark-skinned people into their homes and give them food and hospitality while also commenting that lighter skin looks better. It's so jarring to witness.
It means your folks are weak minded.
It means that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so please mind your own sight business pls not to b racist we are molded in the image of god bible say thks
@@wallacegentry4085 it means that millennials are ignorant about culture, history and traditional context
So if I feed and help darker skinned people and welcome them into my home but then I prefer to be obsessed with white skin, I'm racist?
The problem with millennials and young generation is they can't differentiate preferences from racism. For example this one find it jarring that the elders welcomes and are nice to black people, but they find white attractive. That doesn't mean your elders are racist. That's their preference. If you like US cars more than Japanese car, and you buy a Ford instead of a Toyota, that's your preference. You're not being racist or discriminating Japan. As simple as that.
I think that education is key in getting rid of racism. There’s not much we can do for the older ones but we can do so much with the younger ones.
well said !
Agree ako s sinabi mo two thumbs up
I also think that media is a vital key on educating our younger once, because we have to admit children idolize what is on tv or media than what is on books or school.
That's hard bro.... a lot of teachers nowadays teaches to earn money, rather than teaching because it's their passion. And Ive encountered a lot of them since my elementary to college days.
The Germans after WW I were well educated and yet many participated in the Holocaust. The Red Guards were educated but they killed a lot of their fellow Chinese during the Cultural Revolution. Many of the Soviets who participated in the Ukrainian Holodorm were educated and yet their policies killed somewhere between 1-2 million Ukrainians. The Khmer Rouge killed how many in the Killing Fields and many who participated were well educated. Education without moral and spiritual guidance won’t get rid of racism. Being Woke, Progressive and SJW only make things worse.
Ive been living in the Philippines my whole life and I have met too many racist people to the point that i become rasist myself, some Filipino tells me to go back to America. Im not even American, i was born here, im from here, my father is Arab but he's living here for more than 30 yrs. Im trying to fix myself now and try not to be affected by those people, there are still kind Filipinos that helps me in my life.
Immigarnts must stay together
Xiao Chua is the reason why I admire and indulge in Historical and Cultural topics. I first saw him in Lourd de Veyra's skits bacl then. I have experienced racism even here in the Ph because my mom is Igorot, and my dad is from Negros Oriental, I got ridiculed to oblivion back in grade school and highschool even I'm proud of my Mom having a Tribal History (Has their own known Clan in Ifugao) and my dad being a descendant of a Known General in Visayas (Pantaleon Villegas)
This should be seen by all filipinos.. Racism is present in the philippines.. Sad but true, locals from ethnic groups and provinces were being looked down by fellow filipinos also.. They are being bullied by the way they dress, the way they speak with their regional accent, and doing their accustomed way of living.. Not thinking that it may hurt or insult them..
hope this changes!
Sad to say but racism isn't going anywhere.
Only metro manila discriminate them
more like classism
Yeah but your donald duck is racist too
especially when you are from the visayas and mindanao, you'll be easily looked down mostly from tagalog speaking people of Metro Manila.
not only in visayas and mindanao.. we also the native tribe here in luzon were being look down.. specially us igorots
@@jehopay-oen2397 I remember candy pangilinan's joke...

@@jehopay-oen2397 I adore the natives! please teach your language to the new generation. yan language pa din ang ginagamit sa oceania. ang tagalog kasi modern language na
@@danich5472 that is one of the problems of our country. our society and educational system is geared towards westernization.
Do not look down upon anyone, including oneself. Heed the Golden rule.
My mom said: "Do unto others before they do unto you." God bless you... 😁
I just wish everybody not only from the Phillippines would understand this. God bless
Maam i think thats not the golden rule
i think its "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
They all answered so well in accordance to their perspective. I think it's genius to actually ask this from different point of views. The professor was truly intelligent with his answers, I loved his answers
That skin whitening and skin bleaching is the saddest thing ever. Be proud of your natural look and don't judge others until you meet them in person.
They could have advertised that as a fashion product just like tanning products because each one of us has different fashions.
Its called asian fashion.
Just like americans have thier own fashion
@@EnigmazGuide be proud of your skin ..Bleaching is harmful
@@hopesignal240 Some fashions can be risky, such as tongue piercing, Tattoos and hair coloring products, but it's their call to take a risk.
@@hopesignal240 that also goes to tanning as well. sun uv rays is deadly and cancerous.
Every country has its own standards and poeple will always want what they dont have.
Some of the people I know who are racist to other races seem to turn out that way because they experienced discrimination themselves. Like, an uncle who worked in Japan have been refused entry in some shops with signs that said "No Filipinos Allowed" so he's formed a prejudice against the Japanese. And some friends who are deeply angered with China's adamant claim of Philippine territorial waters and islands that they formed prejudice against the Chinese. It's sad that prejudice against a whole race can stem from isolated experiences or events, failing to look at the much greater good that often goes overlooked.
Whoa thats the opposite of what Ive experiences. Lots of Pinoys and even an aunt and uncle of mine I saw in Japan felt superior to mainland Filipinos for some reason. Like they believed they were Japanese lol. Their daughter ended up with a white over there at some point which is funny.
@@e.g.9809 What kind of fucking argument is that!!??
I didn't know that you can judge a person's etiquette and mannerism by nationality/looks. That is called stereotypical bias or racism. It's despicable that people like you commend such disgusting practices.
Please educate yourself on the topic you're trying to present before commenting such vulgar remarks, good sir!
@@tsarnicholasii419 i agree. I shouldn’t have said that.
Filipino racism is a lot less intense as compared to our East Asian counterparts, but it still important to note that Filipino ignorance contribute to racism, intentional or not. Filipinos are also linguist, thus you can see the prevalence of Visayan-Tagalog online fist fights often in social media.
Much respect to you, man, for digging into this kind of dilemna that is so subtle to the filipino society. Please do a documentary about the discrimination of people who are living in the rural areas in the philippines too. Gotta admit, nice content you got here. You have my thumbs up for this 🔥💯
thank you bro. when I come back to the philippines, hopefully I can do something like that!
When I was young I used to think how ugly I am because I'm dark brown. I even told to myself I'm going to inject glutha so I can be socially accepted but when I worked abroad and appreciate my skin color and how beautiful I am, how sexy my skin tone is... I'm so proud to be Morena 🥰🥰🥰
beautiful story :)
Who’s dark brown?

@@Tofi_ijs yea...
Its called western fasion. Try working in asia again and u want to be white again
Hello, greetings from the USA! I’m Filipina-American! I was born in the Philippines but grew up in California fifty plus years ago. In my opinion, racism exists everywhere (intentionally or not)! My mom’s family has a Chinese and Indian background, and my dad’s side is full-blown Spaniards. I’m married to a Caucasian, and I’ve experienced racism when my husband and I moved to Colorado after living in California all my life. I've traveled within the US, including in the Southern part, that racism does exist. I’ve also experienced discrimination when I go to China, Korean, or Vietnamese town here in the US! I think everyone is racist in their ways! There are many forms of racism, and I think most are not intentional, but through ignorance! The way you handle it is to ignore, move on, and try not to take it personally! Instead, through education like what you're doing now! One day, everyone will realize that we are all equal, especially in God’s eyes (young, old, poor, rich, white, black, brown, and so on)! GOD made us unique in every way! May God bless us all❣️🙏
well said! thank you po for watching :]
Well, you have the best opinion ever. Racism today is more of a form of "Bullying" rather just a plain racial differences. Racism or Bullying are both cause by poor parenting (50%) and the rest, the environment where a person spend his/her time outside their home. "I think everyone is racist in their ways" ... this one is absolutely true, I may have to plagiarize this and make it my own quote. LOL
But when "racism" is applied in housing it becomes oppressive. Being rejected housing because of skin color is horrible. Being turned down for pilot training in the military because they think your kind will never learn how to fly much less fight in a million years is despicable. Getting killed for being in the wrong skin in the wrong neighborhood is what I call racism. That is what is being stoked in this country today... All the other forms of discrimination are human traits that can be removed or lessened by education as Nelson Mandela says... Getting even and revenge are also human traits, how do you lessen or remove it from the oppressed?
@@colorklimax keep making excuses, so embarrassing

Dang! About time to talk about this!
New to this channel and I would like to say that this is simply amazing.
In the topic of racism I think that yes we as a nation have a long way to go. We aren't perfect and we will never will be and that's ok because people make mistakes though yet, I think that we should start evaluating this topic and find ways to solve this problem that has been deeply rooted in our culture as a whole. Small steps as the professor said and we can only hope that we can lessen it as much as possible. Anyway keep it up and I'm excited to see more topics about the Philippine and thank you for the perspective that you have given us.
Dude im white-
Not brown-
Not even black-
Every Filipinos has Diffirent skins.

Yeah to me Filipino doesn't really have a specific color because Filipino are mixed. My friend always call filipinos Asian Mexicans 😂😂😂
True I'm Filipino
@@maryann4957 Leave Chinese alone.
@@wangwang2048 ha?
It's not just racism, age discrimination, sexism, and class statuses. ...
True, its also embeded in our culture to expect or generalize older people as kinder and wiser and children as more immature yet when the issue about teenage pregnancy comes, the adults are expecting teenagers to be wiser.
Yeah, It reminds me of a quote "Older doesn't mean wiser, you just doing the same thing over & over again - right, wrong & different". That's toxic seniority. :'(
You forgot homophobia. I'm part of the LGBTQ Community here in the U.S.. There's a lot of people here majority of them are Trump Supporters that are really distasteful for their derogatory against the LGBTQ. Its really sad. 😥😥😥
@@kevzsabz8253 Oh, I agree with that one.
@@JoshuaAlto I know homophobia and racism still exists to this day. I mean look at the attack of the U.S. Capitol. A mother even disowned her daughter because she attended the Black Lives Matter rally but when the mother attended at the Trump rally and shouts derogatory things to a black woman, her daughter outed her as well becuase it was wrong. She said "Mom remember when you said you don't want me to attend the BLM movement because it might get violent? Is this you?".
Subscribed just for this amazing vid! I learned a lot, and all the people being interviewed are very nice and eloquent that before I knew it, I already finished watching the video.
thanks so much !
This video was uploaded exactly on my birthday last year as per date stamped. Anyway, this is really a good eye-opener for every one. Proper education and information about race is the key to understand each other's ethnic background.
Negros isn't racists it's just Spanish for black. Meaning black island.
it is racist thats why they called it negros island refers to the people who live thier......
Its was named because the natives were Negritos
@@tonrev8106 It's not racist. Negro just means the color black. Would you say saying black in English is derogatory? In spanish you say una camisa negra, which means a black shirt.
@@euphrasiepolly5575 ya i know what negro means...black thats why they called it negro coz of the color of the skin of the peolple who lived thier...itom ang maga tao doon kaya nga sila tinawag na negro....did you hear the cooments of the guests????ginnoo ko ka dugay maka sabot ning bataa!!!!!!!!!!
@@tonrev8106 Lithuanian name for Belarus is "Baltarusija" it means white Russia. Is that racist?
Growing up, I witnessed light-skinned Filipinos bully and make fun of dark-skinned Filipinos in private schools. It’s weird because Filipinos are depicted as Asians with naturally brown skin. Today, sadly, many Filipinos are becoming more racist, especially toward Filipino-Chinese men and women with more prevalent Chinese features. The thing is, most Filipinos don’t even know that they’re racist. Racism is a serious topic and we need to educate ourselves further.
Yeah because now more immigrants are gling into the Philippines
I have witnessed a few of my fellow foreign students studying at Philippine universities experiencing racism not just from students but from faculty unfortunately. It was a topic that was often discussed in our foreign student meetings. I think also colorism is a huge factor. Several of my pure Filipino friends get down on themselves about their darker skin color and they get teased for it even by adults. I remember when one teacher told me to wear more sunscreen "kasi parang hindi Americana ka na" as if getting darker was somehow a bad thing. I even said that the states is multiethnic. Daming ibang kulay...hindi puti ang kulay ng tao taga U.S.. Even my mother who is full Pinay gets on me about making sure I don't stay under the sun too long or I might tan too much. Salamat po for this discussion. I remember that origin story being mentioned in my anthropology class and my prof asked kung racist ba yun and I said oo po and she asked why I thought so which I said that the story makes it sound like the darker skin was a mistake.
Tama ka diyan ang mga totoong mga taga USA ay mga Native Americans dahil sila ang mga katutubo ng North America yung mga puti, itim etc. na nakikita natin naku mga may immigrant at foreign backgrounds na yan mula sa iba't ibang mga kontinente .?!"
I didn't know that there's racism in the Philippines. I haven't met foreigners ever in my life and I'm not into watching news about racism so I never knew.
It's worse than you thought they even discriminate their own people
The correct word is Colorism
@@metaspur6525 you're backward😑
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”
-Nelson Mandela
People learn to hate easily but its hard for them to learn love
Some California migrants create problems of racism when they move to other states because some of them can’t keep their liberal politics to themselves.
I was on walkie talkie the other day and when a Filipino guy asked me where I am from and I said that I'm from China and I'm Chinese-Filipino, he told me that I should take responsibility for the virus that is spreading in OUR country and I should go to hell for inventing COVID-19. As a Chinese-Filipino, I am disgusted with him and his attitude.
Am African i live here and have never experienced racism In My 4 years of living here but I struggled with colorism which is the same thing back home cause people feel light skin is better and would want to switch.
Xiao chua is a philippine's treasure I am more proud of being a filipino because of him.
Most pinoys who look down or racist are the proud Tagalogs from imperial manila. They mostly discriminate the people from visayas and Mindanao.
Yep,thats what im about to say..and most are.entitled sorry to say😬..
Totoo ito pero meron din ibang Bisaya at iba pa na minamaliit ang mga Tagalog. Nakalulungkot na may mga ganitong tao.
Lol. Mag comment search ka sa youtube. Bilangin mo ang anti visayan/mindanao comments na galing sa taga luzon. Then search ka nang anti manila/luzin comments from visayas and mindanao. Baka magulat ka.
@@mutiyangpilingbabae9207 Kung me ganon man, I'm sure hindi sila ang nag uumpisa. Kasi madaming Tagalog na mayabang at mahilig manlait ng mga taga visayas at Mindanao. Although hindi ko nilalahat.
I'm a Tagalog from Nueva Ecija ....
Idk why I'm telling this to y'all I just wanted to say it 😅😂
Bro just saw this in my feed. Man this video needs to be viral. +1 sub for you brother
This reminded me of the time my Filipino friend told his girlfriend that he specifically dates Japanese girls because he doesn’t want his kids to be dark like him. He was saying that jokingly, but.....yikes. I’m not commenting on that. Btw it’s pronounced neigros not neeegros.
I grow up suffering racism from Filipinos, well, I'm a half Filipino Half Nigerian but I was born and raised here so I am definitely a Filipino by language, actions, etc. And I'm telling you Filipinos racism to black people is totally severe, I grow for thinking my skin is really ugly. People here always calling me "Uling-ling, Nognog, kulot salot, Ita, negrita etc." even kids telling me that I am ugly because I am Ita or Negra! (This thing shouldn't be an insult and should stop making it as an insult) And the worst part of it is their own parents hearing this in their own child's mouth and they will just laugh about it so the kids thinking that what they doing was right, And even my friends calling me in these kind of nicknames made my self esteem low. I even afraid to go to other places because people will look at me weird like I'm not even a human. If you're a black especially when you're living in the province, expect the racism you will get there. Maybe Filipinos are hospitable, but they're racist as to all people even in their own race especially to our kabisayaan siblings and many more, to tell you the truth, I was also racist with them before because of what my surroundings think of them and then I thought it was just fine and it was a joke, but not realizing those kind of jokes is extremely offensive. Now I'm studying international school also here in the Philippines and for the first time in my life I felt that I am not different, I am Human! I'm not strange or weird, ppl calling me beautiful, now I appreciate my skin color and also I'm being educated about racism. Schools should also teach about racism because many people are so ignorant about this stuff like it's normal. Stop Stereotyping, Stop Racism!!! Racism shouldn't be a joke!!! Stop thinking you're cool for doing it.
thank you for sharing your story, it will be eye opening to a lot of people!
@@BaniLogrono thank u also for making this video.❤ mabuhay❣
It's just ignorance cos they know nothing but themselves at Ito ang nakakahiya minsan tungkol sa mga kapwa nating Pinoy.Kung sino pa iyong pangit,iyon pa ang mahilig manghusga.
Were you denied admittance to your school? Were you ever denied renting or buying a house because of this perceived "Filipino" racism? Do you think you may never be able to find work in the Philippines because "they" are ignorantly racists? Do you think you will ever find a wife, go to a restaurant, go to a concert, go to a new place without getting assaulted here?
If you really think we are a very racist country, then you should try living in Nigeria or South Africa for some time...then come back and tell me (us) you are never coming back here...

Colorism is a more prevalent problem in the Philippines than racism. Most of the time people tease each other because of the color of their skin not of their race. It is a widespread belief that fairer skin is more beautiful, propagated by the beauty industry.
in my opinion, filipino have this 'tone' or 'accent' that gives no intent to offend a certain person thats why when we say something racist we don't consider it racist, if we talk rude but still have that tone or accent we can't tell that if they are serious or not, For example: Bisaya/Ilonggo/cebuano accent talking in tagalog or any usage of words. like filipino don't really take it that seriously unless if we really need to... to be honest I live in Negros-Bacolod, people from negros are called Negrosanon, i tried to explain it to my friends here in UK and now they called me racist.. never thought that they would really make it a big deal
For me racism is also saying like... judging the books by each cover.
Yes, lovely outside but rotten inside.
Not exactly, that's just prejudice. Racism simply means thinking that his/her own race is superior than the other guy/gal's race.

Xiao's statement at 11:30 made me emotional. I feel for him.
Bani, I am so proud of you. This is an absolutely intriguing topic you have covered and this has definitely challenged my views on what it is like to perceive racism in the Philippines. It is so amazing that you brought this challenging topic to light and I wish you well in all of your endeavors.
long time no talk Antoni! glad you appreciated this video. hope all is well with you :] God bless
Good work, I just wish this was longer and included an average Filipino that doesn't have a specialized job, and different age ranges too. I'm curious to know what the older generation thinks.
Prof. Xiao dropped some golden wisdom 🔑much respect!🙌🏽
Ayy yes na yes, racist tayo, kahit sa kapwa natin. I think it's from centuries of tribalism and being colonized for so many years. Kahit ngayon, racist ang mga tagalog sa mga bisaya, and vice versa, not all but very easy to see.
Great piece direk! You and Prof Chua are an awesome duo, podcast na yan oyyyyy
At least were equal racist even our own. Hahaha.
I think not that much anymore between tagalog and bisaya. Mas maganda nga values ng mga bisaya kesa dito sa mga lowland tagalog
Its only tagalogs who are racist against bisayas.
Taga manila ako pero parents ko taga Leyte, never naman ako naka experience ng prejudice sa Manila dahil may bisaya accent nakuha ko sa parents ko, hindi rin ako nakapag experience ng prejudice sa Visayas.
Pag sinabing racist yan yung mahilig manlait o prejudice ng ibang lahi dahil sa looks o kulay ng balat mo, bihira lang sa accent.
OMG! Thank you so much for make a video in this level quality. I'm Brazilian, here in Brazil racism it's something very visible too, I was think in visited Philippines but first I needed to understand how it the interaction with black foreigners, and this video help me to understand!! Thank you
I also believe that Filipinos are more culturally accepting compared to the East Asian countries, and to Thailand in the SEA since I know Thai people put the light skin toned in the pedestal.

Education is the best way to "fix" racism and by being a good example of showing love and respect for all peoples.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! This was beautifully done and thought-provoking in the best possible way. It gave me hope. So much healing needs to happen to repair the inherited trauma of colonialism and capitalism. Bless.
Oh my god! Your vlog is so real i love it💕
Hindi pa ka bulgar ang racism sa atin, except sa mga itim. Pero ang regional stereotyping ang mas nangingibabaw ngayun. Ang tingin ng mga tagalog sa mga mindawon at bisaya ay illeterate. At ang tingin ng mga bisaya at Mindanaon sa mga tagalog ay mga hambug at mayayabang. Pagnasa manila ka, ang tingin nila sa mga taga Mindanao ay gyera at terrorista. Yung mga taga manila nman walang disiplina. Religionalism tingin ko ang malaking problema sa atin.
Ano solution dyn?

Tagalog ako pero di nman gnyan ang tingin ko sa kapwa ko. Depende yan sa tao. Kaya mas tamang word na gamitin ay "MAY ILANG TAGALOG OR MAY ILANG BISAYA". Wag lahatin.
Being racist is bad. And we have to eradicate that kind of attitude, ideas, that may result to being prejudice to a certain race. This is a good video for all Filipino to watch and internalize whether or not we are racist..... Salamat po.
Great video, needed to be made and seen by all Filipinos.
I love the conversation, very smart and eye opening subject matter. More power!
This is really helpful. We are all equal.
thanks for watching
I think most of the things that are discussed in the video is not racist except for xiao chua's experiences. If you are living in the Philippines you should know that people always use stereotyping and that's not racism. Racial discrimination as what happened to the black community in the west is not present in the country neither racial supremacy.
I know that there are discrimination in all fields in the Philippines but that is not racism as a philosophy or as a system. It is ingrained in the culture and we should change but to call it racism is wrong.
I do believe that racism is wrong because we have only one race called human race.
And don't say that we have equality because there is no such thing as equality. The only equality we have in this world are the unalienable rights given by the government and inherent rights bestowed by God, all other aspects of life are not equal.
If we are all equal. Everyone woud be like Professor Xiao.
great content! ugh, I just hate it when people I know would rationalize that, "it's not racism, it's just more of societal norms. it's not racism or bullying them, we are just telling them in order to inspire them to make better version of themselves. it's the accepted culture, it's always been like that." Afterwards, I would answer that, "I guess we have a society that accepts racism." Then they would answer that I am insulting most Filipinos and I have crab mentality. ugh. SMH.
I am going through the same argument with someone in the comments section right now 🤣 thanks for watching frank, hope these mentalities change soon !
@@BaniLogrono i am really quite cynical when it comes to the chances of most Filipinos changing their mentalities or attitudes. Lately, if you aren't a popular white skinned korean or a very influential and popular national artist then your advices or opinions won't reach them. its harsh, but its true
@@zomgwtfrank you are just sensitive about your shortcomings. Your inferiority reflects lack of cultural adaptation. Read the world history and you'll see that cultural shift is not new and it is not racist to like what makes you better and feel beautiful.

thanks kay! hope this quarantine is over soon so we can hang out again !
@@BaniLogrono I agree, hopefully it will finish soon, thanks for inviting Jay.
Oh finally found your vlogs. I really like your communication skills, the way you speak and explaining it very well.
Thank you for doing this story. 👊🏾
Well..when I walk down the streets of Zamboanga City, everyone waves at me. I feel like the queen of England. It is a great experience. I didn't see many white guys or any other foreigners so I will say I was very welcome. I was a minority of one and I could not have been treated any better. What was amazing was everyone pulled out their best English to me. They did not expect me to speak Chavacano or anything else. They spoke to me on my terms. That was so welcoming especially when you are in a new place.
Depends if youre white.
am a Filipino. its really hard to admit that racism exist in our culture. however its the truth and we cant do anything about the past. what we can actually do now is to correct and move forward.
YOU ARE TO BE COMMENDED AND YOU ARE CORRECT AS AN AMERICAN I SEE EACH GENERATION HERE IMPROVES AND ITS HEART WARMING TO SEE,,I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE, WISH I COULD DO MORE,,I GIVE TO ALL I ENCOUNTER AS MUCH AS I CAN,,BUT EVEN MY WIFE HATES IT IF I STOP TO GIVE TO A HOMELESS PERSON OR SOMEONE IN NEED,,,I PASS A HOMELESS MAN EACH TIME I GO TO WESTERN UNION TO PICK UP MONEY I SEND TO MYSELF HERE AND I ALWAYS STICK 50 OR 100 INTO HIS HAND EVEN IF HES SLEEPING,,,I FEEL BADLY FOR PEOPLE IN THAT SITUATION SAME WITH A MAN I SEE WITH NO HANDS BEGGING...I WANT TO GIVE HIM 500 BUT MY WIFE JUST GIVES A FEW COINS! THE MAN HAS NO HANDS!! AND IM HEALTHY AND HAVE ALL I NEED,,,I WEPT
I was hearing how the Philippines is like Alabama and Mississippi of Asia
I think it should be the word "prejudice" that is used rather than racism, although some people find both interchangeable. No doubt, racism is universal.
Very interesting glad to see my boy jay in the discussion
he's the mannn
Very interesting. I look forward to other subject matter !
This is what content look like, I mean you won’t regret wasting your time watching YT with an informative and inspiring content. 👍
Thanks ! :)
I have high regards to you xiao chua always! You bring true meaning to Filipino not as human but a culture itself. You're a walking reference to our history from the past. GB!
Growing up I was proud to be filipino... but I would also get clowned on cause I had curly hair and dark brown skin growing up...like wtf... now that Im older I realize that the biggest enemy we have is ourselves because if colonial mentality. The sooner we accept the fact that Filipino is just a nationality that could be adopted by anyone from any colour or ethnicity, the stronger we can be. Being Filipino to me is embracing all the cultures that make us up. The sooner we embrace our diversity the sooner our Nation can rise higher than before.
I do believe we have that possibility and a first step is to actually teach it. I never knew something like racism existed until I experienced it first hand in the US, and after some education and reflection that I realised it's racist. Tbh school here sucks, stay in Philippines 👍 then go to other country.
I remember reading that during elementary school on How God made Filipinos in our Religion subject in a Catholic school. OMG I was thought from this?!
Wow, your video really opened my eyes. I just finished talking to a friend on Facebook about the BLM movement. I was trying to understand why there’s so much silence and resistance coming from the Filipino community. It didn’t end well and the points I made went right over his head. I walked away feeling crushed and defeated, and ashamed even. How could there be so much racism engrained in our culture? I needed answers and that’s how I came across your video. Thank you for bringing to light this very serious issue that’s overlooked in our culture. We need more content like this. 🙌🏼❤️👏🏼🙏🏼
glad this helps. thank you for watching this!
Black Lives ‘Matter’?
#BLACK LIVES MATTER. Was the enough to say that we filipinos are not racist. The creator of this video is plain stupid. Know the filipino culture. If you don't know we do not take lightly racism here. You must be worried of your health if yo do. This is plain misinformation
This is not worth your time watching. Know filipino history and culture before posting thrash. This is one of social media fake information. Get your information from mainstream and trusted sources. We need to revive those reliable and credible media. Fake news are all over. We need the real experts. Journalist.
@@joemarkagupaloso1849 you sound so attacked hahaha
Even original filipino experience racism..when i was in highschool i experience a lot up to college and even when i am going apply and in my work place racist are everywhere in the philippines. I am Aeta who known to be original filipino, but those we called "onat" and low landers ..some of them ..i don't know. Thank for this video. I hope it will give way to understand and wipe or change the mentality of filipino people throughout the Philippines
Discrimination sir ang naranasan mo. Hindi racism
The Spaniards put so much scar on us Filipinos that is why we consciously and unconsciously became a racist person. I can't blame the other individuals to think it that way.
Racism is unending cycle towards my countrymen from Spanish occupation up until today. A huge wound still exist inside the flesh of us Filipino that we got from Spain. It is consciously and unconsciously happening. I think it is better to read Noli me tangere to understand why we have this skin colour complexity. Hahaha I can explain it well but hopefully this comment can be helpful just a little bit. Lol
If you have pinoy blood running through your veins, even just a slight 0.1%, you are a Filipino. Skin tones don't matter. What you look like doesn't matter. Where you are from doesn't matter. You have the blood of a Filipino, the heart of a Filipino, you ARE a Filipino.
~from a fellow Filipino
Having Xiao Chua in here adds so much flavor to the video
This one a good example for all who watching this. Remember it " WE ALL ARE HUMAN BEING" IT'S NO DIFFERENT ON IT point on this 👍 nice video. Hope all knows this. Bless you brother 🙂👍 from the Philippines
thank you! keep spreading positivity
As a Filipino, I agree. Not all Filipino are racist. To be honest my filipino friends are racist because I speak English. Filipino don't even think they are racist and more importantly some don't even know what racist is. Filipino will judge you base on what you do. For example if you are fat and wearing a bikini? They will judge you for wearing it. Thats what my aunt did when we went to the beach last summer.
I really feel this a lot in America where I get the same sort of things said to me but a backwards where other Filipinos will see me as less because I am mixed.
Growing up here, my mom coming from the PI a lot of what they said is reflected in the things my mom brought me up with.
She would say, “if I take you to the Philippines, you cam be a model because your skin is light.
Here, I think a lot of younger Filipinos are really trying to connect with their heritage but somehow it becomes about ethnic purity like the Prof was saying and I really feel like many Filipinos in America don’t really understand that we don’t all look alike and that we come from many different ethnic backgrounds.
And just like them in the PI, it becomes somewhat of an identity crisis because I also know who I am and I am Filipino. I have never identified as anything else.
What’s more frustrating is the idea that others are always trying to tell me what I am with the newest one being hispanic or latin when I know that I am not. I am Illocono.
Even with my mom being indigenous to the PI, here in a America, I can’t even get a traditional tattoo depicting her journey which is also my journey because it doesn’t fit the “purity” mentality.
Anyway. I really appreciate this so much because it’s an issue that I have felt and dealt with my whole life and it’s not just here that it happens.
Salamet.
The Philippines is one of those chosen countries to entertain, give some different kinds of vibe and to add some colors in this world. Scripted, staged and planned 🌍🌎🌏
“Pure Filipino” there’s no such thing. Those islands have been conquered by so many different countries the people there are mixed and don’t want o believe it.
4 countries (5 if you include China today). Actually most Filipinos love showing off their mixes
Your average Filipino is genetically Austronesian.
We have been Mixed by culture but not its race
@@somebodythatyouveusedtokno9604 i keep telling this to people but i guess theyre too busy flexing how mIX they are XD
@@somebodythatyouveusedtokno9604 of course you are mixed by race. No group on earth is “pure”, we are all heavily mixed
This deserves more views ❤️❤️❤️ in my family, I have the darker skin tone and most have lighter ones, I always feel out of place during picture takings and gatherings because of that, I did everything I could to achieve that lighter tone but to no avail, because of this video Im starting to love the color I have
this was powerful and very informative. thank you for this!
thank you for watching ! :)
@@BaniLogrono im definitely telling my dad one of the lasallian professors showed up here and youre welcome!
Some Americans are so woke that they think everything is racist
That is true. They forgot to laugh and let it pass because they feel so attacked all the time. Not just Americans though, almost everyone take humour out of context and blows everything out of proportion.
@Sample Text That's the problem with this video, it somewhat trying look into racism in a woke American way..
@@johnkrieg9368my thoughts exactly!.. It reminds me of those Snowflakes SJW....
@Captain Hairline pizza gate, the cabal
@Sample Text so can't tell what that cult is? Lol 😂
Hi Bani! great video.. Btw. As far as I know, the story about the "baked" people is not taught in school. It's just a joke or story we see in tabloids or magazines. It's not serious, but we see it now as extremely racist, but as Sir Xiao stated, Filipinos invented that story because we are the ones being looked down upon. It's for our ego I guess???
its for ego
agree
Hello! Some comments seem to suggest that it was invented and taught either during the commonwealth period or Marcos time to increase nationalism, and it was taught back then in some (maybe not all) schools. So you may be right on the part that it’s for an ego boost after centuries of being looked down upon by others. Thanks for watching!
Love this !
The answer is NOT EVERYONE OF THEM.
This is what we called "Quality" 👌🙌
thanks for watching sir benj! hope you’re still ok over there!
I Love what profesdor Chua said, it all boils down to class distinction. Over 400 years of being colonized by the Spaniards, most of our ancestors did everything in their lifetime to survive socially. And so that social instinct carried on until today.
The girl doesn't look so exotic, she's very pretty, but she doesn't look mixed, especially since she's from cebu where there would be hundreds of thousands of beautiful locals. For a cebuano, she would just be an everyday woman.
Like I said, very pretty, but the claim was quite preposterous, if I may say.
Maybe kase maganda sya, taga cebu ako at kapag pogi/maganda ka nag-aask sila sayo kung ano mix mo
@@volume_02 depende sad sa hitsura, kani klaro man kaayo nga dili sya mixed. Usa pa sad kung taga cebu jud ka kahibaw ka nga daghan cebuana nga guapa bisan dili mixed.
I remember when I was in Grade 7, my Teacher told us that his friend went abroad (I can’t remember what country it was) and then his friend went to a store with a lot of dolls , each doll wore a national costume representing every country in the world, they were all beautiful and exciting to see, my teacher's friend was excited about what the Filipino would look like but he couldn't find it, and then he asked the seller about it, but when the seller showed the doll to the one who represents our country---the Philippines, she was wearing a maid dress, and it really broke her heart.
See how other people in other country sees us.
So we must work hard for the good of our Country.😞❤️
Anyway, I was Grade 7 that time right, and now I'm already in Grade 12 and still can't forget that story. It also became my inspiration to study harder, I know I am just one of millions of Filipinos, but if we are united, we can make our country better.
I'M REALLY SUPER DUPER SO MUCH PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO!!!!🇵🇭😭💘
