"About Korean Hate of Pinoys Videos: You find what you seek."

Lately there have been several videos being posted on social media about Koreans making fun of filipinos. One was an episode of Dear Counselor where a Korean who had darker skin was nicknamed Philippines growing up.

Another video is about an actress who was making English pronounciations using several nationalities like American and British until one of the hosts asked her to do an impression of A Philippine English teacher. They all laughed at the accent. 

So now you have all this hate and how these things are seemingly representative of how the Koreans view the Filipinos as a race. To be honest even among pinoys we exhibit high levels of bigotry. We say things like Probinsiyano or Yumaman lang. And yes we do make fun of other peoples accents. We make fun of Koreans themselves when they try to speak english when some of our country men struggle with the language as well. Even in the higher echelons of power where you assume that they had more time to practice.

All I am saying is that if you look for hate then you will find it. People need to grow up and not espouse hatred towards another race mainly because some of them said this and that against another race. There are still some Americans who think pinoys climb uptrees but we don't hate them right? Those we identify we boycott but heck we don't boycott their entire race.That seems simply insane.

It bothers me that people who are leaving videos like these on their feeds and saying things like "Ito ang tingin talaga sa iyo ng mga Koreans na gustong gusto mo" seem a bit misinformed or need to understand that every race might find something odd or disparage you in some way. The Koreans for example look down on dark skinned individuals because in their culture these are the peasants who grow darker working in the fields. Di high class kumbaga. Even pinoys have this impression of other dark skinned people. What do we often say about the Bumbays on their motorcycles? Mabaho yang mga yan. 

Let us not be hypocrites and say that we are above all of this judgemental crap. Do not go looking for hate because you will always find it.
