‘The Philippines must be half empty — you’re all here running the NHS.’

But it’s true, and about that, anyhow:

We’re supposed to feel all guilty because we import Filipinos to be nurses and so forth.

And you just know all these Filipinos sit around with each other after work, tsking about how the horrible white people pawn off their kids and old people to strangers.

And I agree that people should raise their own damn kids, mow their own damn lawns, etc. as much as possible.

But the Duke accidentally raises a point that’s bugged me for years:

If we’re so evil because we’ve dragged you over here to do our “dirty work…”

How evil are you Filipinos for leaving YOUR old people and kids alone in a Third World jungle?

Who’s looking after YOUR kids, you smug Filipinos?

Martians? Hamsters?

No wonder your country can’t get its act together.

But because he’s from the Philippines and because he’s prayin’ to chicken bones and stuff like that, everyone’s kinda like, ‘Well you gotta respect him for his belief system.’ No you don’t. He’s a f****n’ idiot.” (…)

“They got this and sex tours, that’s all they have over there. Get your s**t together Philippines. Jesus Christ. I mean, again, it’s fine to be proud of your countrymen. But that’s it? [A famous boxer is] all you got?”

Any great Filipino authors or composers I should know about? Cures for cancer? No?

Also, have you ever noticed that Filipinos don’t even merit a world famous derogatory nickname, like “dago” or “kraut.”

THAT’S kind of insulting, no?

PS: Actually, Duke, they may be staffing the NHS, but I doubt they’re running it. Most of the administrators are the white ladies who hire Filipino nannies, no?

And only the same type of white ladies who run the newspapers these days think all this is a “controversy.”

Idiots all ’round.
