The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's > character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist that > she might be hitting menopause. Susan 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." If you go to abc.com, you watch the > full episode and witness the scene at about 18:50 minutes into the > episode. > > This type of derogatory remark is not only unnecessary and hurtful, > but is also unfounded, considering the presence of Filipinos and > Filipino Americans in the health care industry. Filipinos are the > second largest immigrant population in the United States, with many > entering the U.S. and passing their U.S. licensing boards as doctors, > nurses, and medical technicians. In fact, the Philippines produces > more U.S. nurses than any other country in the world. So, to belittle > the education, experience, or value of Filipino Americans in health > care is disrespectful and plain and simply ignorant. > > As Filipino Americans, we need to band together to ensure that this > type of hateful message is not allowed to continue on our television > and radio airwaves. Given the recent amounts of media attention that > has been given to Michael Richards (against African Americans), Isaiah > Washington (against gays), and Rosie O'Donnell (against Asian/ Chinese > Americans), it is ridiculous that this type of hateful speech made it > through various screenwriters, the show's producers, the show's > actors, and ABC itself. Yet, this isn't the first time that negative > remarks have been made about the Philippines or Filipinos in the past. > In recent years, we've heard one too many "dogeater" comments by > "comedian" Joan Rivers on the red carpet or in her standup act, and I > believe that it is about time that we stand up for ourselves, so that > this type of hateful speech never happens again. > > Please join me in expressing your concern, disappointment, and/or > disgust to the producers of ABC.com.
