Didn’t I tell you that “ABC actually Filipinos/Minorities” and they’re probably one of the most diverse and targets minority audience than any other network in the U.S. as compared to NBC, CBS, FOX.

So what makes stuff offensive to one group of people and not another? Would a creeping action to introduce a certain group/nation as “enemies” the key to normalcy and thus we are not able to see it until it’s too late?
The Philippines second largest religion is Islam and there are many shows around the world that portray them in offensive manner, yet no one was kind enough to speak out for our Muslim brother and sisters.
In a global world, where there will be an interaction from one cultural with another each of one of us will carry our own bias, and prejudice. And there’s a very fine line between offending someone and acknowledging it as if it was nothing.
Several have started to boycott the show, but let’s be honest the show’s audience is actually intended for the American audience, 30–45 something housewives and not the Filipino audience. ABC could care less Filipinos boycotting the show but…
They Have All Been Taken out of Context If taken out of context anything said by one party to other party could be offensive. So I decided to show the whole clip on how they were interacting. This is not the same clip on youtube or this other youtube but this is the whole interaction between the two in the room. And a separate clip much later in the show.
Feel free to spend sometime looking around and check out some of the posts. I would love to hear feedback from you and enjoy your stay. If you would like to contact me or contribute you may do so here. This blog is running on the new WordPress 2.3 if there's any bugs/problems let me know.
