Hi Everyone,
This one is really sad, frustrating opinion, from
someone who seemed to know everything about the
Filipinos but who failed to look at himself closely.
If you received this already, please send to more
Filipinos specially in America, until it reaches Mr.
Art Bell, as has been the hope of the writer at the
end of the email, who responded to him.
Thanks and May God bless us all including Art Bell.

Subject: An insult to Filipinos
This is a hate letter coming from a radio talk show host Mr. Art Bell from
Nevada. I don't consider myself as patriotic but please read my reply below in
BOLD LETTERS and send this to as many of your
friends as possible until it reaches him.
Subject: HATE LETTER
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 million 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 priv ilege 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).
Check out his website listed at the end to get a who's spreading this hateful
ignorance. And letter is so degrading, I think it's really important that
everybody read this and not attack him, but respond to him in a civilized
manner because otherwise his thoughts will be reaffirmed. Understand that not
everyone has a viewpoint like we do, and that this is an opinion of someone
who hopefully can be changed only by civil actions. - May Munoz

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 associ ate 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 how it's an 'Asian thing'. This term...'Asian
thing' derived directly from African American slang 'blackthang'. '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 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 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, butthese 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....
Sincerely,
Art
------------------------------------------
I find this funny, he is right in some ways where we, as Filipinos dont
actually have an 'Identity'. I think this is due to the confusion of our mixed
races from Hispanic, Chinese, American and Malay origins. I see it in malls,
imagine young generations wearing ski caps and ski goggles in a tropical
country, baggy low rise pants like that of African Americans living in th e
Bronx of New York, not to mention endless whitening products being sold at
department stores and drug stores. But his ignorance also blinds him from the
other truth. That while we may glorify Anime shows and Japanese Internet
gaming, he is not aware that a nameless Filipino may be responsible for some
technical aspects of some Japanese software. He is not aware of our
contribution to the the society in general .Technological advancements that
may have aided post war navigations and landing on the moon. That the
antibiotic Erythromycin was discovered by Dr. Abelardo
Aguilar from Iloilo creating the brand 'Ilosone'. Thomas Edison may have
discovered the electric light bulb and the fluorescent lighting was thought up
by Nikola Tesla. But the fluorescent lamp we use today was invented by Agapito
Flores (a Cebuano named Benigno Flores of Bantayan Island, according to the
Philippine Daily inquirer), a Filipino scientist. Americans helped
then-Philippine leader Ramon Magsaysay to develo p it for worldwide commerce.
That the personal physician of former U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton is Eleanor
'Connie' Concepcion Mariano, a Filipina doctor who was the youngest captain
in the US Navy. A Filipino writer Jose Rizal could read and write at age 2,
and grew up to speak more than 20 languages, including Latin,Greek, German,
French and Chinese. Or that a Filipino genius was responsible for the near
hiatus in the PENTAGON and White HOuse nearly infiltrating their closely
guarded secrets with the 'ILOVEYOU' bug. Nuisance maybe, but still one heck of
a 'beautiful mind'...not to be underestimated.The list goes on and on, but who
cares right? Certainly not Mr. Art Bell...Boy, I'm not surprised. Perhaps Art
Bell does not know that although we consider ourselves ASIAN because we are
strategically located in the Southeast asian region of which our nearest
neighbors are Malays, ASIA does not mean only Chinese and Japanese race of
people. Then maybe it is his connotation
that 'Asia' meant only our economically successful, paler brothers and he
considers Malays such as Thais, Malaysians, Indonesians, and ourselves as a
'Third World' race. Then it is 'his' ignonimity that would make a civilized
person of whatever race puke. Imagine literally connecting Chinese, Koreans
and Japanese to the Philippine Islands which is archipelagos away from the
countries he has mentioned. I also wonder where he got the impression that we
aspire to be Japanese(???) Hispanics maybe but not the Japanese. But even
Hispanics today do not mind sharing their 'surnames' to their Asian brothers
who they have colonized for 3 centuries.
Another sad reality that although most Filipinos working overseas are domestic
helpers and prostitutes, who does he think educates the toddlers of Hong
Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Tokyo? Parents of these countries rarely have time
spent with their children, leaving them to their Filipino nannies. And with
regards to prostitution. Filipinos are not the only ones working as one. I
HARDLY SEE FILIPINOS STARRING IN PORN MOVIES. THERE MIGHT BE A FEW FILIPINOS
WE HAVEN'T SEEN , BUT MOST ARE FROM MR. ART BELL'S RACE.
He also mentioned that we have no concept of culture..no concept of asian
ideas or asian philosophy. How can we demonstrate Confucianism or Taoism in a
Christian nation? IS HE INFORMED THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS THE ONLY
PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC NATION IN ASIA?! YOU HAVE TO USE COMMON
SENSE IN A LOT OF THINGS SOMETIMES...
We do not need to create an identity for ourselves. We are who we are. Our
identity stems from the anonymity we live in this world. How we contribute
silent ly towards the progress of the world and not just one country. Although
the Filipino blood may be tainted with malice, corruption, poverty and
prostitution, it is not a perfect race... But so are the others. Maybe Mr. Art
Bell needs to think about this. WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT MR. BELL BUT AT LEAST WE
STILL HAVE VALUES. FOR ONE THING WE DONT PUT OUR AGING PARENTS IN NURSING
HOMES BECAUSE 'THEY'RE SIMPLY OLD AND WORTHLESS'. WE DONT HAVE AS MUCH NUMBERS
OF SINGLE MOTHERS WHO GET PREGNANT IN THEIR VERY EARLY TEENS AND EVENTUALLY
BECOME PARASITES OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS. YES...WE CAME TO YOUR
COUNTRY TO WORK, TO EARN DECENT MONEY (HALF OF WHICH BY THE WAY GOES TO TAXES
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SOCIAL PARASITES FROM YOUR RACE).AND BY THE WAY, MOST
EDUCATED PEOPLE THAT I WORK
WITH DONT COME FROM YOUR RACE... THEY'RE ACTUALLY IMMIGRANTS TOO. AND THOSE
EDUCATED ONES DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU DO, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY'VE REALLY BEEN WELL
EDUCATED..AFTER ALL THAT'S SAID... WHO IS THE IGN ORANT ONCE AGAIN?! -
