Hate mails tagging Filipinos as idiots proliferating after failed hostage-taking

Full story: www.manilatimes.net

THE Commission on Human Rights is considering issuing a message appealing for the citizens of other countries to stop discriminating and making derogatory comments on Filipinos as a result of the bloody August 23 hostage taking in Manila that left eight Hong Kong tourists and Filipino hostage taker Rolando Mendoza dead.

Director Ana Elzy Ofreneo of the commission’s Human Rights Education and Research Office disclosed that she considered such move in light of the circulating electronic hate mail tagging Filipinos as idiots.

FROM THE STORY:

The hate e-mail, according to Director Ana Elzy Ofreneo of the commission’s Human Rights Education and Research Office, enumerates 11 idiotic acts of Filipinos and was sent to her by someone who is claiming to be a Dutchman who is married to a Filipino woman.

The Dutchman also claimed that his Filipino wife and his wife’s relatives and neighbors are practicing such Filipino “idiotic” acts.

Ofreneo added that the said “idiotic” acts also included items about the sloppy police rescue operation involving the Philippines
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team who used hammers and ropes to enter the bus and pursue the hostage taker. <<<<

We call this transference. From the SWAT acts to the wife's acts to the Filipinos in general.

Poor Dutchman! He might have married an ignoramus. Perhaps an unschooled domestic helper with a culture alien to the Dutchman's. Not the fault of all Filipinos.

Could be one of the regular pinoy haters in Topix...posing as "Dutchman" hehehe!

Ms. Ofreno should visit the Philippine Forum in Topix...expose the hate mail she received to the public then maybe we in here can compare and give her a clue.

There's only one here who talks about his wife's relatives and I happen to know his name. I'm sure there's only one with that foreign name in the Philippines. Should be fun to connect the dots he he he...

Let them be racists. It is free speech. I am a Filipino too but I don't mind these. The more they do it, the more I pity them. So stop being onion-skinned.

Oh Really,

Where was Ana Elzy Ofreneo when all the reporters and radio personalities were systematically being murdered for speaking against the government. Where was she during the Magunindao massacre. Where was she when Jonas Burgos was kidnapped and made to disappear, even when they proved the Army did it.

What thats not offensive? E-mail is?

Director Ofreneo has too much time in her hands that she keeps herself fired up with junk email. I hope she still have time to get the job done in her office. Hate email? Another political correctness syndrome. She can qualify for a
thought police." Hay naku...kailan kaya maiintindihan ng tao na kahit sino ay maaring maghayag ng kanyang nararamdaman kahit puno ito ng katangahan. Mare, magbanyos ka muna para mahimasmasan ka at gumawa ka ng tunoy na trabaho.

You people are the ones who are idiotic. You judge an entire race for the acts of the few people you actually see and hear about. Why, don't bad things happen in other countries too? In the US, even kids kill fellow kids. Do we blame the entire nation and call everyone living in the US lawless? Bad things happen everywhere, and of course, the usual things you see on TV and in the news are the bad things that happen. Rarely do good things get covered because for some reason, the media don't seem to find them newsworthy. Wake up. There's more happening than what you see on TV. You haven't seen the entire Philippines and you haven't even come close to getting to know 1/10 of the entire population of the Philippines.

And poverty does not spell idiocy. Poverty is caused by so many other factors. Plus, you think the poor only exists in the Philippines? Go look around wherever you live. You must be so sheltered or just plain blind to not notice them around you.

ah yeah. very succinct. when you can't find anything else to say, just turn it around on the other races. like a person's race or color determines who he/she is. racists are the ones who make the world a sad place to be in.

There are bigots and racists in all cultures. Let them spout off and don't reply. It is usually an attention ploy, and if you ignore them they get mad and look for a more receptive audience.
As for the main topic, there really are idiots everywhere in the world. So before attacking a whole population of a country and call them all such things, look around your own area and count.
Here in the USA I only need to look to our government to find plenty of idiots :D .

There's a definite chance you could get carried away and tell a whopper of a story that has little resemblance to what really happened. What on earth has got into you?
