I am a fan of the TV series Desperate Housewives, and since I can't watch it regularly I bought a DVD which I never really finished watching. And maybe I will not finish watching, due to this:
We are writing to express concern and hurt about a racially-discriminatory comment made in an episode of Desperate Housewives on 9/30/07. In a scene in which Susan was told by her gynecologist that she might be hitting menopause, she replied, "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines."Read more here.

i blogged the same but not identical topic.. ;)
i'm sad about that, too. but anyway, it's good that we now know how those thugs view our Filipino docs.
***i guess they are referring to the poor medical services afforded to Filipinos by the gov't. i respect Filipino doctors.
@ KINGDADDYRICH: At nabasa ko na. ;P Salamat sa pag-comment. Sakto 'yung post mo, 'yung previous entry tungkol sa mga Pilipino din. Hay, buhay nga naman.
@ AYEL: Uy, Sir. Good evening! ;P First time mo yata bumisita dito?
I signed the petition. Did you?
I did, yes.
Medyo insensitive nga yung script na iyon, pero common naman iyon sa American T.V. Hindi lang mga Pinoy tintitira nila.
Ang hindi ko lang talaga alam sa atin, kung bakit marami sa atin ang may "double standards." Ayaw natin magpaasar sa mga tagaibang bansa, pero sa atin, yung mga Indian at Chinese, Bumbay at Intsik ang tawag natin sa kanila. Para sa kanila degrading iyon, pero nakita nyo na ba sila magreklamo? Masyadong sensitive ang mga Pinoy pagdating sa mga ganyan, pero, kahit tayo, one way or another, gumagawa rin ng racial slurs sa ibang lahi.
Masyado nating sineseryoso yung mga bagay na ganyan. Mas marami pang problema ang Pilipinas.
Hindi ko linya ang medicine at yung iba pang industries na may koneksyon dito, pero I understand why would our medical professionals react this way. Instead of countering this remark with another bashing, why not prove them wrong by doing their profession the best way possible.
Kung papatulan pa iyan, wala rin tayong pinagkaiba sa mga Amerikanong mababa ang I.Q. na pati pagsesend lang ng SMS ay kailangan pang itanong sa mga call center agents.
Hehe peace.
@ DUROY: Ngayon ko lang napansin na nag-comment ka pala dito. Sorry.
You've proven your point, I agree.
Galit ka ba sakin? Hehehe. Peace! :P
Mainitin yata ulo mo lately? Hmm. Menopausal stage ka na? Hehehe.
