I appreciate this so much! As a morena Filipina, growing up with my aunts and mom urging me to lighten my skin took such a huge toll on my self image and the way I feel about my own skin colour. Colourism, anti-blackness, and anti-indigeneity are definitely such crucial topics that needs to be discussed more among the Filipino community and the Filipino diaspora
It’s thanks to the Spanish brain washing our people to hate our skin, race, and other people that is in different shades of color, precolonial Philippines was one of the most accepting societies in the world along with other Southeast Asian societies until Europeans came and brainwashed and destroyed many of the societies in Southeast Asia
CHECK THE BOXER CODEX. This isn't about hating on black or African people. Lighter skin means that you don't work in the fields and that means you are richer than most, that's why it's glorified in the Philippines and in Asia. It's mainly about financial status. If you don't know, AFRICAN WOMEN are BURING THEIR SKIN by using WHITENING PRODUCTS. Go check the videos and articles about it online. Stop making it look like this mentality only exist in the Philippines or Asia.
African women WHITENS their skin via WHITENING PRODUCTS after they got colonized by the Europeans. Filipinos today can get lighter skin just like how our Filipino ancestors got lighter skin in the BOXER CODEX by simply AVOIDING THE SUN.
THANK YOU for correcting the misconception that colorism in the Philippines is only about classism, when the truth is it's always been tied to colonialism and racism.
The first thing you should do is to change your country's name. Are you still subjects of King (the colonizer) Phillips? You should show the world who you truly are instead of being some dead European kings subjects. Think about it, your sense of self worth should be tied with your national identity. Your name is tied to some weak failed ancient superpower, that is not even a world player anymore. Why would you want to be associated with your past oppressors. Look at other countries for examples.
Putin showed that Jesus and the disciples were Black. The European scam is now about to collapse. The lies that they propagated to fool nations is almost at an end. Time corrects all mistakes (the mistake was to believe the lies of the devil). Their time and their evil influences is almost to an end.
Love your beauty it shows that you are closely associated to God's first humans beings in Africa. We once ruled this planet and we will retake our rightful place once again.
I 100% agree! I also live in the Bay Area and I think the celebration and the acknowledgment of the diverse communities, cultures, and ethnic heritage that the Bay was once infamous for, is now being used as a tool for non BIPOC to camouflage as a racially ambiguous person or to use reclaimed words and vocabulary to add to a false persona.
Why do you always target Asians when you talk about colorism when that same mentality exist in Africa? watch the videos about African women burning their skin by using WHITENING PRODUCTS. There's a lot of those online.
Light skin Filipinos already existed way before Spanish colonization. It's not about hating on Black or African people. That culture existed for thousands of years in Asia way before Europeans came here.
I'm Brazilian, raised in USA. I can totally relate with people not knowing what I am like you. I did my DNA and I'm ~20% Black and the rest is mixed European. I'm 6'0 and nice frame (people think i play ball but I'm just a nerd), with lighter skin (but still darker than white) and curly black hair. Here In the USA, I've been confused for Pacific Islander, in fact in college this girl was just literally after me (she was very beautiful) and I noticed she was big on Hawaii, wore Hawaiian stuff all the time. So talking to her, she says she was Hawaiian (probably Filipino born there now that I know more about that history) and I guess she thought I was Polynesian and was just enamored. She literally dropped me the moment she learned I was not that. Anyway, depending on where in the country I was, I have been confused for Mexican, Puerto Rican and black people think I'm a 'light skinned brotha' which I have been called several times (they aren't totally wrong). But I have to say, my lighter skin is attractive to the darker skinned crowd, so even the darker skinned folk have this anti-blackness as you say. BTW I married a dark skinned Filipina and we have a beautiful daughter. Everyone should be proud of who they are, and it shouldn't reflect badly on anyone else.
Interstingly,the original people of the Phillipines were the Negritos or Aeta tribe who are related to the Black people of the island of New Guinea,Timor,Maluku,Fiji,and Australia in the Pacific!
I suddenly remembered about the Mestizos from Spanish Colonial Rule in our PH history class. They were referred to as children of Spaniards and Filipinos; and are placed in the middle of the social heirarchy because the "Indios" (referred to Filipinos) were seen to have undesirable uncivilized bloods as we engaged in polytheism compared to them (Christianity).
Most of the mestizos in the Philippines are Chinese-Filipinos. It's very rare to see mestizos like those from the Zobel de Ayala clan who look more "European".
@@QWERTYUIOP-wu6ht I forgot if there exists another term for Fil-Chi individuals created by the Spaniards for the Sangleys were seen as inferior beings too. But I guess, the use of the term evolved during the Spanish Rule. As I remembered José Rizal is commonly described as a mestizo. Its interesting though how the language continually evolves along with history.
Asia Jackson on that Assimilation bit about being mistaken for a Pacific Islander, not surprised because that's partly the origins of Pacific Islanders
Growing up in America, you fine it's tuff when you don't have to right skin color. When you're a black man you have try twice as hard to be successful. I've been in the Philippines and It's interesting how different people react to me. This just lets me know a little bit more about the culture. Interesting this is very interesting.
You guys are acting like getting hated for having darker skin doesn't exist in Africa. Watch the videos about it here on TH-cam because there's a lot of them. Especially African women obsessing on WHITENING PRODUCTS.
Filipinos gets kidnapped and murdered in Africa just because of their ethnicity. Africa in general is more dangerous than the Philippines and Asia. Get your facts right.
It's not anti-black people. This mentality has existed prior to Spanish colonization. Go check the Boxer Codex. Light skinned Filipinos already existed back then. Lighter skin means that you don't work in the fields so you're richer than most. That's why it's glorified in the Philippines and in Asia. It has nothing to do with hating Africans or Black people. Get your facts right.
I appreciate this, and I realized that I have a privilege there being a good looking light, skinned Black, but my dark skinned buddy didn't get treated poorly, but people flocked to me and were very attentive to me, but not so much to him, in restaurants or anything in the service industry or guards. I can't say it's race/skin color mainly, you can't concretely prove it, but after I heard that certain historical heroes (European ones), who were not native to Philippines gets more love than the indigenous ones, that said all I needed to know. Not everyone thinks backwards, especially not younger people, but I know many who love to brag of their Spaniard lineage of their grand mothers, they have this mentality and white is right is how they live.
I found the comnent 3:52 ' as black people, we have our rights, we should care' interesting....i know many black people who feel Asian struggles are a brush off....Filipino struggles ( for those that know who/what a Filipino is ) are a brush off. Filipinos and in general, Asians, if not sharing celebrated subjects with the rest of the world....or aren't light skinned in most......... situations..... aren't having their identity rights recognized. I'm apparently a pure Filipino, identify as Filipino....yet have been approached by many as something......to bypass.
it's the same vibes when a certain country monopolizes kimchi at it's peak of popularity by producing inauthentic ones instead of sourcing it from korea just for the sake of revenues. Just capitalist things~✨ but aside from opportunistic monopolists, we should also blame the local corrupt officials for endangering the local agriculture by decreasing it's worth through making the masses rely so much on imports and less on our own resources just so they could exploit those agricultural lands once the demands for local goods have lessen.

Black Brown beauty is the most beautiful 🖤🤎 I've traveled the world and let me tell you the most beautiful people are NOT South East Asians or Filipinos. Filipinos think they're pretty that makes me laugh
Wow so racist of you to say that. So many people like you make so much racist, hateful comments towards Filipinos. I never know why. Filipinos are ever loving, smiling, caring, talented, beautiful people. For you to say such a thing about us ignorant. You must hate us for what reason? That is your unpopular opinion.
How dare you come on this video's comment section and spread more hate, when we're trying to spread awareness in colorism and racism in Asian nations. Also btw, it's not just in the Philippines. Your comment was just so unwarranted and it's immature honestly.
I thought it was all originally from auatronesian groups that diversified a bit due to the persistence of different languages and cultures of the various ethnolonguistic groups
Asia Jackson knows it too because I follow her twitter and saw that she posted the link about it. The DNA study is called "Multiple migrations to the Philippines during the last 50,000 years". The researchers found out that Cordillera is the only region that didn't mix with Negritos.
But Negritos are not Africans though. Sure, they may look the same. But Negritos has a whole different history and origin and DNA than Africans. Filipinos on average have Negrito genes but that doesn't make us Africans or Black.
@@ken_kaneki7939 nope. Read the PNAS study. It literally says all 117 ethnic groups they tested were mixed with Negrito except some Central Cordilleran tribes
If your black, don’t travel to no Asian culture or European culture. Will we be treated very bad do to your skin color and you will mostly be over charged for items and food.
All foreigners African, European, and East Asians you will be overpriced because in most Southeast Asian countries people live in poverty and if they think you came from a rich country which automatically equals to a rich person in their mind which is why they overprice the price for tourists

No man you are wrong. In the Philippines We love foreigners it don't matter if you are from Africa. Maybe you hear the "negro" word sometimes but that's how we say black like any Spanish speaking country. You won't be discriminated or in danger base on the color of your skin. YOU ARE SAFER IN THE PHILIPPINES IF YOU ARE BLACK THAN IN THE USA OR ANY WESTERN COUNTRIES. racism don't exist in the Philippines. They will joke around about being dark because most filipinos were dark and works in yhe field. Most light skin were the bosses and rich back in the day that's why.

I don't think the desire to have sharp nose and brighter skin says anything about racial discrimination against black people but Filipino jealousy because we all want to look good. Stop exaggerating that Filipinos are discriminating Africans and stop comparing Filipinos to Africans Filipinos aren't Africans. We're south East Asians. Now Filipinos are being attacked for that thought but cruelty doesn't discriminate anyone.

It is an east asian thing. Light skin people from precolonial past are an outlier. It is almost impossible to have a light skin in the tropics unless you spend your time inside the house. Also, we had noble people with darker skin back then.
