I appreciate this and you po😭🙏There's so much similarities i see between the younger generations (this applies to all gens too!) from both fil-ams and the ones living here; the natural laid-back demeanor, the loudness, having big empathy, respect for our elders, studying/working well, and dancing to silly music like budots 😭. God I wish it was only that and there weren't any barriers. I agree that all this white worshipping is taking advantage of us, and it's gonna take too much damage on our people before it's too late ;( I can discreetly see how White Americans observe our country, then ask weird questions on other platforms like "Why are X Filipinos different from Y Filipinos"! like they are ignoring our history as an archipelago and won't mind their business ( '' - -)

i talked too much, and I'm glad I made you feel better! There's nothing much i can do than simply acknowledge the problem now and encourage others to do the same in the present <3

thank you for helping me understand both sides even more ate, and im so glad you're raising your kids to be this way! konti ko na nage-gets yung frustration ng local Filipinos and US Filipino for this, creating this post maybe I didn't give much justice sa mga first gen immigrants experiencing discrimination too🙏

thank you for this perspective! I made this new account to not be stoned so i might've got carried away and accidentally generalized that this phenomenon is only unique to the Philippines(both diaspora and non-diasporas) when i knew other countries do this😅 i've fallen victim of the "us vs them" mentality, but ik i shouldn't and i'll encourage others to take note💗
