Filipino’s Make me Puke by Art Bell

I read one of the forwarded email that alarms me and really bothers me everyday. Here is the email that I receive:

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 to 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 h
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 most 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 its 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 somehow 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 no! t 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….

When I read this email, I was so angry and so mad. It is so mean and Bell is so prejudice. But, I told myself, this is a challenge to all Filipinos. So, before making judgement about this email, I research over the internet about this and I found out that this is just a "hoax" and that Mr. Bell is innocent about this, and actually, Mr. Bell’s wife is half Filipino. And after this alleged email, he received death threats. I dont know if its true. Base on my study about Mr. Bell’s reputation here in USA, I found out that he is an intellegent man, and so I doubt that he will make this kind of email without studying further his judgement about Filipinos history. I try to print out that email and study the structure of it, and base on what I notice, this is not the kind of email that Mr. Bell would write, I notice that the person who wrote this dont know the roots of Filipinos, the Philippine history.

So, just an advice to all Filipinos, dont be so critical about this issue, and we will take this in a constructive way and we will take this as a challenge to all of us.

For the person who wrote this hoax, I will tell you, I can tell what kind of person you are based on the words and judgement you wrote. I know, you are an Asian. I dont know what is the reason behind why you wrote this kind of email, you are so mean, honestly. And please, just an advice to you, please, please, study first our history before you judge Filipinos, try to be an intellegent person and dont base your judgement on one specific person coz that is biased. I know you are an intellegent person, so dont act like you are dumb just because of one person who ruin your ego, ruin your pride. Its not good for you. You are ruining not the Filipinos, but your dignity. dont you think that after this, Filipinos and other culture will be proud of you? Absolutely "NOT", maybe some of them, but majority of them will hate you and will look down on you. So, just an advice, stop what you are doing, coz you are not helping yourself, but ruining yourself. 

May the Lord God Bless you and guide you in everything that you will do!May you will be in peace at all time after what you have done.

Conflicts within

Ourself is our bestfriend and at the same time our best enemy. Its quite complicated. We will deal with a lot of obstacles, like problems in ourselves, problems that surrounds us and the problem in our nation and even the problem of the world is on our shoulder.

I could say for myself that I had been into a lot of problems, not from other people but me, myself. I thought that whatever that comes to our minds are right, that whatever we think is the best thing to do, but it isnt as simple as that. To being honest, I am a kind of a very pessimistic and very sensitive person. I thought that being pessimistic is okay and its alright, but am wrong. Its like a rust that gently makes me weak and my dispositions went to a wrong direction and clouded my thinking and my feelings.

Until now, am still dealing with it inside me, its like that I am trying to conquer the evil inside me and am still fighting with this evil within myself. I dont wanna ruin my dispositions in life, my goals, with this kind of behavior.

Its hard, really hard, coz am fighting it alone deep inside me, no other person who can help me but myself. I believe in myself, my capacity to deal with this. I thank God that I have such a wonderful man in the world, my husband, who really understands me amidst of this behavior that I have, for my shortcomings and flaws in our relationship.

I do hope that one day, I will just realize to myself that its all gone, and that what is being left in me is the traits that will help me becoming a better person, a true person who can help in good ways, a person that is open-minded, understanding and a person that will really make good decisions in life and a person who are grateful enough to what she have. This are the qualities that I want to have.

May God help me!
