Incidentally, my oldest son is married to a woman who is half Filipino. She's fine. Another son is dating a Black woman, another son has a girlfriend who was born in Taiwan, so I guess we are a diverse family after all. :rofl
So MOD, what are you trying to do, single-handedly stamp out racism? That would leave some people without anything to feel guilty about, and others without anything to bi*ch about.:mrgreen:
So, Filipinos are smart? That's part of the Asian stereotype *gasp*
Honestly, I'm clueless regarding them. They are good workers, seem nice, appreciate being in the U.S., but some are insecure and don't mention about where they come from... Does that sum it up? :lol:
You just don't know what is going to put someone on edge, or what someone might have said to that person in the past about being filipino.

Heavens no, it's not racism. People really need to get a life so they can worry about something more meaningful than someone thinking their handwriting is crap. I work with a guy who has atrocious handwriting. I tell him he writes like a chicken. I guess I need to tell him he should be offended.
Telling a guy that he "writes like a chicken", is different than telling someone that they write "like a filipino" or write like a "black man" or write like "an Aisan"....and then insinuating that all filipinos, blacks, Asians, etc...have poor handwriting.
Again...I don't think that the comment is "racism" per se....but I think it points to evidence that the commentator probably harbors racist views.

He didn't tell him he "wrote like a filipino".
"you guys are even from the same country".
Are you saying that this doesn't imply that perhaps all filipinos have bad handwriting?
If you are...then what do you think the statement implies? Why make the statement about the country, rather than the individual if you are not making that implication?

LMFAO Not in the slightest."you guys are even from the same country".

I think the big issue is that his reaction was not commensurate with the comment.
Personally, I think all Philipino men are homos or eunuchs. Because their women are overbearing juggernauts of personality that will argue with the sky for being too blue. I would love to see Flipper's reaction to that comment.
Not Racist.Racist? Borderline. Its more like the guy sounds like a dweeb trying to make a really lame insensitive joke.
And in this case, neither was done.Telling a guy that he "writes like a chicken", is different than telling someone that they write "like a filipino" or write like a "black man" or write like "an Aisan"....and then insinuating that all filipinos, blacks, Asians, etc...have poor handwriting.

''That's not his problem, that is the Filipino's problem. ''
The only way to make a significant move towards ending racism, is if everybody takes responsibility. It is not just the problem of individuals.
Everybody knows, that making unfounded negative assessements about a group of people, is not politically correct.
