Just received this forwarded message in the mail. Don't know if its true or how long this was ago. Maybe you can give this A-Hole a piece of your mind. Heard that a Filipina gave him hers which made her win in the most recent Public Speaking Competition in London.

Filipinos.....*make me puke* (Art Bell)

As we've all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun to infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of qualities all filipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis. You can see this clearly by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino Americans.

Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:

Are they really asian? Well we've come to accept the fact the filipinos come from a part of the world known as South East Asia. But the term "Asia" is used in the wrong way. You may notice that contemporary Filipino Americans try very hard to associate themselves with groups that we know as Asian. I cannot count the number of times I have seen a 'Third World' Filipino try t o connect themselves to the chinese or Japanese people. There is no connection and here's why. The Philippines is a Third World country. Nothing respectable has EVER been created by Filipino people during our entire human history. Young filipino men in America have become obsessed with "import racing". They have an enormously perverted affection for Japanese cars. It's a common phenomenon. In their minds, these Filipinos somehow believe that they are asian and that it somehow connects them to Japanese people and japanese cars. They often take credit for the ingenuity of Japanese people and say how it's an "Asian thing". This term..."Asian thing" derived directly from African American slang "black thang". "It's a black thang." "It's an asian thang."

You can see the connection. It's even funnier that, in Japan, Filipinos are heavily discriminated against. The only filipinos that can live successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes. But that's the case for m ost Filipino people no matter where they live in the world. Now we've come down to this fact...and it is a fact.

Nothing in Filipino Culture can be seen as Asian.

They have no architectural, artistic, or cultural influence which is in ANY way, asian. Thinking of the great countries in Asia such as Japan, Korea, and China there is no way you can possibly connect the Philippine Islands. This assault by filipino americans to connect themselves with the great peoples of North East Asia is foul and disgusting. Try visiting a young filipino's web site too.

You'll see something called the "Asian IRC Ring". It has to do with the chatrooms. The most horrible thing about this is that these TRASHY people are trying to associate themselves with Asia again!! People in Asia don't act like, this at all. What we are seeing here is the natural Filipino in it's element with full access to technology and this is how they act!  You will consistently see this behavior over and over again.

Another interesting thing is that these "thirdworld" people also frequent RC chatrooms such as #chinese #japan and #asian. They must believe that they are some how related racially or culturally to North Asians. But it's completely WRONG! There might have been some distant contact With China and even less with Japan during World War II, but these people are actually more closely related to african americans and Mexican americans.

Do the parents of these young filipinos know what's going on? Would they accept this? I believe that they would and do. This is the natural "Trash" element in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever come from Philippines and I don't believe anything good ever will.

Recognizing your Roots (A Message to Filipinos). To all filipino people:

Please recognize your ROOTS! You come from the Third World! You country is a disgusting and filthy place. Most people there live in poverty! Your culture has MUCH MORE SPANISH influence than chinese, and absolutely no JAPANESE influence whatsoever. People in Japan and China, do not act like you. They do not constantly talk about sex and they have a MUCH HIGHER level of RESPECT for each other. There is NO WAY that you can connect yourself to Asia other than location.

Your culture and technological advancement does not even come CLOSE to What Chinese, people have done in the past and what Japanese and Korean people are doing now! Everything you do is distinctly filipino. You cannot take credit for Japanese cars, video games, or Hentai! It's not an "asian thing" it's, an "American thing". You have no concept of culture...no concept of asian ideas or asian philosophy! Can you demonstrate how you use Confucianism or Taoism in you everyday life?? You can't. And you will NEVER be able to.

I understand that you are trying to create an identity for yourselves as young people... but it is NOT related to Asia. Your Identity is Filipino.

That's all you are. Just Filipino. Think about what that means....

I read the write-up and was so incensed that I googled Art Bell to find out who the hell he is. I found this:

FILIPINOS ARE VICTIMS OF AN EMAIL HOAX --

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP IT

Over the last three years someone has been posting a malicious letter about Filipino's with the subject: "Filipinos Make Me Puke". In an attempt to smear Art Bell, someone took this Hate Message from a web site (now defunct),  anonymously posted it to the Internet and signed Art Bell's name and address to it. Every few months it gets posted again and again on newsgroups and e-mail lists, with additional hateful language to incite Filipino Internet users to respond to Art Bell.

ART BELL DID NOT WRITE THIS EMAIL

Art Bell is as much a victim of this hoax as you are. In fact, he is married to a Filipina and has the highest regard for the Philippine people. He is as offended by the contents of this email as you are. He has posted these facts on his website and has responded to every single email from any of you with the truth and the facts. Still, the vicious anti-Filipino email keeps circulating and angry Filipinos keep emailing Art!

ART BELL DID NOT WRITE THE HATEFUL ANTI-FILIPINO EMAIL

Most recently, on July 1, 2001 the email attributed to Art Bell surfaced in a show business column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, without the writer bothering to check the validity of the story. Two days later, July 3, the same column was taken up by a retraction and an apology, which the paper will run every day of the week, through July 8th. Please go to http://www.artbell.com/filipino.html to see this retraction, as well as the statement from Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates Art Bell's radio program, Coast to Coast, and Art's statement about the most recent developments in this outrageous fraud.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer has now become a victim of this same hoax. They are doing the right thing by printing a retraction. Now, we need you to do the RIGHT THING.

Set the record straight. PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE to all your friends.

Post this far and wide in your Filipino communities. Stop spreading Filipino hate. The bogus email is like a virus, causing mayhem and havoc in your community
and in the life of ART BELL, WHO IS INNOCENT. We need your help to fight the spread of this HOAX. Please spread this warning wherever you see any version of the hate letter about Filipinos with Art Bell's name attached.

Delete the hateful email and FORWARD THIS EMAIL AS YOUR RESPONSE. Direct your friends to http://www.artbell.com/filipino.html for the facts.

You are doing your fellow Filipinos a disservice  by not warning them; by allowing them to be DUPPED and ABUSED by the hateful language and the fraud that is being perpetrated on Art Bell.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.


So someone out there hates Filipinos but it's not Art Bell.

yup.. the girl was patricia chanco evangelista (the girl who gave a speech in London last May) with her topic "a borderless world."

read her article today entitled FILIPINO IDOL in YS - philippine star. (page E-1)
date: october 22, 2004.

very very inspiring story.

just to help her cause, im also congratulating FAYE. indeed, you did the country proud (despite the news that the Philippines is the 11th most corrupt country) smile.gif

Medyo I kidda have the same feeling on what she wrote in "A borderless world", but it does make one believe less of a filipino... huh.gif

At the risk of sounding anti-Filipino, there are some things that we should also recognize as being on the not-so-good side of being Pinoy. This forwarded e-mail is harsh, unjust and totally crap, but we must also learn to look at ourselves with a critical eye, otherwise we may not see the bad in us and wind up simply always on the defensive everytime someone takes potshots at Pinoys.

For instance, there is indeed some truth to the statement that we do not have much of an Asian or Oriental culture, but more of an occidental or Westernized (as opposed to Western) culture. This by and of itself is neither good nor bad, but it does have a ring of truth to it. If other people see this as bad, as a sign that we are not truly an Asian people at least in terms of common cultural traits, then we should address this query head-on.

This is just one instance, perhaps we could, through this Forum, discuss other such non-Asian, non-Oriental traits we have imbibed as a people and as a nation, and see if such traits have made us better or not as a race. In this way we give more substantial meaning to the this topic and at the same time, we might stimulate others to express their own views.

I think that Filipinos are unique in Asia being under colonial Spain for so long. While we are geographically in Asia, our culture is more akin to colonial Spanish (latin America). This is almost in parallel with Australia. Geographically closer to Asia (in fact shares borders with Indonesia and the dispited East Timor oil fields) but culturally and physically caucasian.
fray torquemada
The e-mail was indeed harsh and sounded like it was written by an Asian dude (of a more slit-eyed persuasion) who lost his girlfirend to a cool Pinoy who races with his suped-up civic . To a point I agree we are Asians. I bet every other pinoy has a drop or two of middle kingdom blood due to the ceaseless commerce between our islands and the mainland which has spanned almost a thousand years. Yet, a drop or two doesn't still make us sufficiently Asian. I agree with Radonc--we are geographically Asian because we are indeed close to the Orient Mainland and the powers-that-be (western powers) have designated us as such. Every time I put in for a new government position I still designate myself as "Asian" in the application form with serious reservations because I'd rather check the box that says "Pacific Islander." Heck, physically we look more akin to the polynesians of the South Pacific. Culturally as Radonc pointed out, we are more like the Vatos and chicos of Latin America.
The bottomline is we are mutts of hopeless dilution. And if those Nips, Chinks, and other fellow gooks don't view us as Asians I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It must be the truth...But it ain't (sic) that painful. We just have to find our way as a people and look to out better side. Unfortunately, it's a long way to go for the bad spanish/colonial habits (i have yet to see a first world hispanic nation) are so well-entrenched to the point of genetics. But to paraphrase the song we just need to accentuate the positive.

he he. right on ,HK!

though i hate to admit it, our identity as a people is getting blurry by the second. we cannot blame our people for this because our culture is dying because of pop culture. and yeah, there is a ring of truth to the fact that we do not have thousands of years of lineage of pure blooded pygmies.

but that is not really an issue. if it is, then just shove it up their @$$#S. the issue here if we, as a people, could really unite and prove them wrong. prove that even if we are just mongels(no... i only used that to mean we are not pure breeds.), we are better than them...

though it pains me to see that most of us are still in the deep end of society, i am happy that little by little, we are waking up at the cold harsh reality that we should do something about it. maybe we'll be better in another hundred years... he he.

i am proud to be a filipino, not like i don't have any other choice but that is part of me.

and please(for those who were affected) , stop being so overly sensitive about these things. we have our faults, too. just prove them wrong... if you retaliate, you're just stooping down to the $hithole they're in.

La Marcha Nacional Filipina

Tierra adorada
Hija del Sol de Oriente,
Su fuego ardiente
En ti latiéndo está.
Tierra de Amores,
del heroísmo cuna,
Los invasores
No te hollarán jamás.

En tu azul cielo, en tus auras,
En tus montes y en tu mar
Esplende y late el poema
De tu amada libertad.
Tu pabellón, que en las lides
La Victoria iluminó,
No verá nunca apagadas
Sus estrellas ni su sol.

Tierra de dichas, de sol y amores,
En tu regazo dulce es vivir.
Es una gloria para tus hijos,
Cuando te ofenden, por ti morir

Ngayon ko lang nahalata na Taoism was part of his critique and I checked my signature!!! lang hiya!...anywayz i just found that we have a spanish version of the national antheme...and i asked my dad if we have an english version and he said yes...then he sang it to me for no reason... blink.gif

because some people are that narrow.

ATTN: MODERATOR => the thread title is misleading, as it is established fact that Art Bell never wrote that shameful article. perhaps it could be edited?

the centuries-old notion of the 'far east' consists of east asia. southeast asia is a late-20th century definition.
