meron po.Nagtatanong sila tungkol sa PInas,tinatanong kung mag kotse ba dun ,may kuryente at kung ano ano pa.Alam ata nila privitive pa rin ang lifestyle sa PInas.
Tapos nagugulat sila kung bakit ako marunong mag english.

sana walang ma-offend(i don't mean either) pero nangyari sa akin ito....studyante din ako ngayon dito sa Japan, unti unti may mga concern authorities sa school,　though friendly naman yung approach but if you shed it in another light there`s a tweak in their questions, might be because related ang hubby ko sa president sa school and they've seen my hubby always with me and working on my papers sa school.......kaya siguro they find it strange....well, well, well....I cut them off with their onward negative impression on Filipino women that majority of Filipino women "found" their spouses while working in the clubs/pubs

...isn't it we all got our memorable love storylines to tell:)

Well racism is common here, not only to students but also to all foreigners from different walks of life. This is probably because the Japanese society is still considered as homogenous. Anyway, the way I handle racism here in school is to overwhelm them with my assets. It may sound proud but I am really a proud Filipino student. for example the prof requires more than 1 journal for seminar, I will present 4 journals and all of them of high impact factor. Publications, as we all know publication is the "bread and buter" of our grad school and I see to it that I publish in a more prestigious journals than them. bowling.....kailanga n di ako kulelat kasi baka mapagkamalan nilang buko ang ginagamit na bola sa Pinas...hehehehe...T hen, at the end of the day they will even discriminate me kasi inggit sila....hahahaha.... :)

overall, i think this racism helps me to be more competitive....sorry na lang sila proud Pinoy ako.... :)

Racism is treating people of other races unfairly for no other reason but their having a different race, or in some cases I guess nationality (tama ba?). My experience with racism as a student is told in this old thread: Racism in Japan - any comments? (http://www.timog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=304 )

i dont know much about love (hehe)
but the thing i guess is there's no one plot that captures a nation's entire story-
every citizen plays a different role:
good or bad, forced or not and whatever the standard,
hindi dapat mag-generalize

hitler was not the epitome of all that's german
neither was pope john 2 of all that's polish

yeah, i remember this thread
thanks, Dax :)

was just thinking
there's reason to believe that since we're students
and are dealing with "the learned,"
then we should not really have racist encounters-
not from them, not in school.

plain disappointing.

racism ba. Inside ako ng train nakaupo maraming tao nakatayo pero ako walang katabi sa kanan at kaliwa. Its not my experience so I cant tell If this is racism.

Kamuntik ka nang mkatulog dito iho :D sagot lang ako ng konte ha...ewan ko lang kung
racism ang maitatawag diyan sa problema mo kapatid. Baka naman napapangawitan
(iyan na lang gamitin kong word para diyan) ang wag ng umupo sa katabi mo. kasi ako
rin pag me nakita naman akong caucasians.(tama ba spell) pero di lahat, ay napapangawitan ko na ring tumabi, mas gusto ko pang nakatayo, kaya no problem..pero kung heiki para sa iyo ang umupo sa katabi ng kahit na sinong lahi...siguro tama ka
racism na nga iyon....kanya-kanya lang naman tayo ng paniniwala at pagtingin po sa kapwa.:p...wait ka na lang muna tiyak me mga members pa rin na magbibigay ng
opinion sa katanungan mo.:D

well, nakakagulat din kung minsan kung gaano ka-ignorante ang mga tao. kahit pa nasa abanteng bansa sila :rolleyes: True...kahit mga kalahi din nila mismo
nagsasabi na marami paring ignoranteng mga Tao dito...kaya hindi mo rin minsan masisi yung mga ignorante nayun dahil yung mga napapanood lang nila sa TV ang alam nila kahit na mayaman na bansa sila...marami parin daw yung hindi pa nakakalabas ng bansa nila kaya hindi nila alam yung mga ibang bansa kung ano rin meron...pero yung mga nakakarating sa ibang bansa alam nila...kung ano yung meron ang iba na wala sila!:p :)
kaya meron minsan mga umiiwas sa gaijin..kasi akala nga nila ...kakausapin sila O mapag-
tatanungan sila...kaya wala daw malisya O masamang ibig sabihin yung pag-iwas nila...nahihiya lang sila siguro...
