[align=center][b]:idea: [color=red]REMEMBER TO READ CAREFULLY[/color][/b] Do not make assumptions, yet (this is for those who're not aware of this letter)[/align] [spoiler]If this must be closed for whatever reason needed be, im sorry please do terminate this & thank you[/spoiler] [quote]This is a very disturbing open E-mail letter to all Filipinos around the world; specially here in North America from a man who has the power to reach millions of people. (he's a radio talk host) Please read on.......... This is an open letter email by Art Bell, a radio talk show host in Nevada (more info in the email itself). Here is yet another person who has taken; advantage of his power and privilege to use hateful words and racial stereotypes that breed further ignorance and intolerance in our society. Art Bell is a talk radio host who has two shows that he broadcasts from his home in Nevada , that is rebroadcast by 400 stations across the country. He's written 2 books. He lived in Okinawa , Japan for some years and had a radio program on the English station here. And, though it's hard to believe after reading the following letter from him, he actually has been to the Philippines (he's traveled fairly extensively around the world). ............ ......... ......... .. ............ ...... THE LETTER: 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 pr oof 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 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....[/quote] [b]******************PLEASE READ THIS ASWELL******************[/b] [quote=bles_212000]ART BELL DID NOT WRITE THIS EMAIL [i]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![/i][/quote] [color=red] The letter above was a chain mail long ago (& probably still); I realized since we don't have much discussion threads in philippine section, i thought i'd share something we can all learn from. It might have confused you because It also has statements from a filipino who've received this mail, from that response, I've noticed that plenty more of them who've forwarded this letter were, i guess, subliminally persuaded to this person's oblivious acts & then of course those who received it now formed a whole bias upon the person mocked, Art Bell. I believe, we should often think twice in believing what we read in our email. Not everything you see online is true. You would think, what the hell is she talking about? how can i overpass this issue? Thing is, Art Bell is a victim. This man's reputation have been ruined because of someone's negligence. I can't stress this enough but [/color][color=black][u][b]the hate mail is a hoax meaning its FAKE[/b][/u][/color][color=red], if you don't believe me, the proof is to just...do a quick search! Most of us assume things and it's worthwhile not to be a part of a careless bandwagon that many others had turn to. underneath are a couple of true explanation about this hate mail, and plenty of them that have not been passed. So please, read this and pass it on to everyone. put patience on reading this, like you did when you've read this cruel mockery of Art Bell. How would you feel if you were in his shoes? [/color] Couple of links I'd like to share: [url=http://bargainprofessor.wordpress.com/2006/10/19/art-bells-alleged-hate-letter-to-the-filipino-people/][b]Art Bell 1[/b][/url] , [url=http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page1661.html?theme=light][b]Art Bell 2[/b][/url] *** [b]I've posted this here because probably countless of Filipinos still receives this hate mail & never think twice about what they read. Here's to justify the truth & make it clear to everyone.[/b]
