what do you think about the filipinos reacting negatively to terry hatcher?

I am sure that you will be handle negatively because of your origin in America. Either you accept it or not. It is not only about the Desperate Housewives. On the other hand people who are working in the media must not encourage the racism.

I think its no different from years of Sanford and Son making fun of the whites and mexicans, or All in the Family making fun of black people or the Jeffersons making every racial slur against white people they can think of. Not familiar with these shows? Well they were and still are on tv and no one has bee asked to go back and remove any racial remark that was made. Everyone has a stereotype, all of us!! What makes the Filippinos think they are so much better than anyone else who deserves an apology from a racial remark from a telivision actor? Get over it! If you dont want to work in the states as a nurse then dont. If you think your so great then stay where you are and work as a nurse in your own country. Now your making me worried about wether or not I will run into you in a medical facility and you will do a half a**'d job because of a remark by an actress??? Will that be a valid excuse to say that medical personell from the Philippines are unreliable?? Sine you said that you wouldnt care as much by saying we are not worth serving. Then stay in the Philippines and serve there. Dont bother coming to America with that kind of attitude about nursing!!

I wish you and other flipino's would understand a few things but I guess unless your mind is open, it won't learn a darned thing. Terry Hatcher was only doing her JOB. She did NOT write the script, someone else did and she was just following it word for word. Besides that, every race has something to laugh about. It doesn't matter who you are or what you are or where you're from, everybody has some kind of quirk that other people laugh at. For instance, such as the arabs, they were those sheets on their heads. Those who laugh at them for that, are they going to get slammed for that too? Come on! Lighten up!

I know that you are personaly afected by the comment but every nationality is generalised and we see comments about everyone every day: Italians, Greeks, Mexican, Chainese, Serbs and everyone hears comments about them all the time. We know that all Italians are not in the "family" buisness, all African Americans are not criminals so dont let it get to you.

Filipinos are proud of their nationality and it wasn't a surprise for me that the whole Filipino community reacted that way. After this incident was brought to my attention, I felt sorry for the Filipinos who were misrepresented by the writers of Desperate Housewives. Instead of blaming it all on Teri Hatcher, we must divert this anger to the writers and producers instead. In my own opinion, they are most responsible for this. They are the ones who has discretion on every detail of the show. Since the damage has been done and certain actions had been made, I think everyone should now move on...
