    oh i happen to love art bell, he's one of the most awesome radio announcers of this and the last century .. and i agree with him on filipinos, because i certainly don't like being one myself, it's despicable because i also have a family that hates
    homosexuals, gay marriage, anything about gays, etc. .. too focused on religion, God, and that everything in life is about God and how you are "destined" to be something .. actions have nothing to do with life ..
    i'm ashamed of being the race that i am and the race i came from, i am so glad i was born here in America the Beautiful, honey!

    Hate Letter Against Filipinos

    Please take time to read this, most especially the bottom part,
    PATRICIA EVANGELISTA's (19 year old Filipina) speech that won in a
    WORLD competition in London .


    This is a hate letter coming from a radio talk show host Mr. Art Bell
    from Nevada . I dont 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 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).



    Check out his website listed at the end to get a glimpse at this fool who's spreading this hateful ignorance. And check his wife as well.
    This 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.

    Filipinos.....*make me garden* (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 how it's an " Asian thing". This term..."Asian thing" derived directly from African American slang "black thang".
    "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 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....



    ------------------------------------------


    I find this funny, he is right in some ways where we, as Filipinos
    don't 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 the 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 develop 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, includind Latin, Greek, German, French and Chinese.

    Or that a Filipino genius was responsible for the near hiatus in the PENTAGON and White House nearly infiltrationg 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 garden. 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( Huh?) 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 regard 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 silently 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 DON'T 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 DON'T 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 IGNORANT ONCE AGAIN?!

    Pinay wins it big in London

    By Alfred Yuson

    The Philippine Star 05/16/2004


    Patricia Evangelista, a 19-year- old, Mass Communications sophomore of University of the Philippines (UP)-Diliman, did the country proud
    Friday night by besting 59 other student contestants from 37 countries
    in the 2004 International Public Speaking competition conducted by the English Speaking Union (ESU) in London.


    She triumphed over a field of exactly 60 speakers from all over the English-speaking world, including the United States, United Kingdom
    and Australia, reported Maranan.


    The board of judges' decision was unanimous, according to contest
    chairman Brian Hanharan of the British broadcasting Corp. (BBC).



    PATRICIA'S SHORT SPEECH WORTH READING....

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    BLONDE AND BLUE EYES


    When I was little, I wanted what many Filipino children all over the country wanted. I wanted to be blond, blue-eyed, and white.

    I thought -- if I just wished hard enough and was good enough, I'd
    wake upon Christmas morning with snow outside my window and freckles across my nose!

    More than four centuries under western domination does that to you. I
    have sixteen cousins. In a couple of years, there will just be five of
    us left in the Philippines, the rest will have gone abroad in search
    of "greener pastures." It's not just an anomaly; it's a trend; the Filipino diaspora. Today, about eight million Filipinos are scattered around the world.

    There are those who disapprove of Filipinos who choose to leave. I
    used to. Maybe this is a natural reaction of someone who was left
    behind, smiling for family pictures that get emptier with each
    succeeding year. Desertion, I called it. My country is a land that has perpetually fought for the freedom to be itself. Our heroes offered
    their lives in the struggle against the Spanish, the Japanese, the Americans. To pack up and deny that identity is tantamount to spitting
    on that sacrifice.

    Or is it? I don't think so, not anymore. True, there is no denying
    this phenomenon, aided by the fact that what was once the other side
    of the world is now a twelve-hour plane ride away. But this is a borderless world, where no individual can claim to be purely from
    where he is now. My mother is of Chinese descent, my father is a
    quarter Spanish, and I call myself a pure Filipino-a hybrid of sorts resulting from a combination of cultures.

    Each square mile anywhere in the world is made up of people of
    different ethnicities, with national identities and individual personalities. because of this, each square mile is already a
    microcosm of the world. In as much as this blessed spot that is
    England is the world, so is my neighborhood back home.

    Seen this way! , the Filipino Diaspora, or any sort of dispersal of populations, is not as ominous as so many claim. It must be
    understood. I come from a Third World country, one that is still
    trying mightily to get back on its feet after many years of
    dictatorship. But we shall make it, given more time. Especially now,
    when we have thousands of eager young minds who graduate from college every year. They have skills. They need jobs. We cannot absorb them
    all.

    A borderless world presents a bigger opportunity, yet one that is not
    so much abandonment but an extension of identity . Even as we take, we give back. We are the 40,000 skilled nurses who support the UK's
    National Health Service. We are the quarter-of-a-million seafarers
    manning most of the world's commercial ships. We are your software engineers in Ireland, your construction workers in the Middle East,
    your doctors and caregivers in North America, and, your musical
    artists in London's West End.

    Nationalism isn't bound by time or place. People from other nations migrate to create new nations, yet still remain essentially who they
    are. British society is itself an example of a multi-cultural nation,
    a melting pot of races, religions, arts and cultures. We are, indeed,
    in a borderless world!

    Leaving sometimes isn't a matter of choice. It's coming back that is.
    The Hobbits of the shire travelled all over Middle-Earth, but they
    chose to come home, richer in every sense of the word. We call people
    like these balikbayans or the 'returnees' -- those who followed their dream, yet choose to return and share their mature talents and good fortune.

    In a few years, I may take advantage of whatever opportunities come my way. But I will come home. A borderless world doesn't preclude the
    idea of a home. I'm a Filipino, and I'll always be one. It isn't about just geography; it isn't about boundaries. It's about giving back to
    the country that shaped me.

    And that's going to be more important to me than seeing snow outside
    my windows on a bright Christmas morning.

    Mabuhay and Thank you.

    So, be proud, you are a Filipino,...and not like Mr. Art Bell. Please
    do send this to as many person as you can until it reaches him.
