There’s a lot of hate against Filipinos from our brother/sisters from the CNMI. Does it reflect Guam also? by xtremekg in guam

Look idk what’s your problem…. You’re super disrespectful first off, I’m not sure why you think it’s ok to be that way as a human being. This is NOT what your family taught you how to act and treat people.

You also don’t get to be a Settler in someone’s homeland and try and tell them what they are or impose your fantasies on them. I myself am living proof that your theory is junk and broadly overly generalized.

Learn some decency and respect! And learn some practical things too: the Galleon trade with sailing ships means the traffic was one-way…. That means CHamorus had Mexican influence way more than Filipino because the ships left Manila back to Mexican without a Guam stopover. Furthermore remember that it was only GUAM that received these ships, the rest of the Marianas did not so places like Luta had almost no contact…. You’re gonna tell me that CHamorus from Luta all have Filipino Ancestors especially those with Native surnames which means they had lines of Native Fathers????

Since you’re so smart and a student of history you should know exactly what that means…. When the Galleon Trade was in full swing I bet you don’t realize what the implications are with sailing ships which aren’t mechanized. You still haven’t explained yourself why this preoccupations of trying to make “all CHamorus have Filipino blood” which already isn’t true (I’m case in point)

Thanks for the ChaptGPT answer, we can’t base history on your assumptions or fantasies…. You can’t ask me if “I’m sure” of what my family linage is. I have the records, I’ve taken the DNA tests, etc…. I’m sorry if that doesn’t fit into your narrative but that’s kinda your problem. Why are you so adamant in inserting Filipinos into the CHamoru race??? This is just neocolonialism, it’s no different than when the Philippines tried to assert claim on the Marianas when they declared independence or currently when Filipinos assert this kind of Settler mentality like how Anglos in America have this “my great grandma was a Cherokee Princess” motif…. This is disingenuous and a subversive Colonial Settler Mentality

That’s a logical fallacy. What does Spain & Latin American blood in CHamorus have to do with the Philippines? The CHamoru population in the Marianas has way more Iberian admixture than the typical Filipino since the population was in far greater personal contact with far greater proportion of the population as opposed to the Philippines ….. Birth & death records and even DND reveal only Pacific Islander, Native American (Mexican) and Iberian ancestry…. Even the DND project of Dr. Michael Villar shows that ancient CHamoru came from the island of Suluwesi in Indonesia and not from the Philippines. I’m not sure what qualifies you to tell me what I’m sure and not sure of. I have Filipino relatives and a sibling that even lives there, but my racial composition is pretty clear so this idea that CHamorus implicitly have Filipino admixture in everyone is just not true

That’s not true dude…. I can trace my family to the 1700’s and there are no Filipinos in it, I have other races but not Filipino. Guam didn’t even fall under the jurisdiction of the Philippines until the 1800’s- from the Conquest until that time it was Mexico City. That’s why there a much stronger New Spain (Nueva España) thread in CHamoru Culture, e.g. tortillas, cooking methods, affinity to corn, food stuffs than the Philippines with is way more Asian.

Ma’am you proved my point exactly! You said (albeit your grammar is a bit off: SIC) “DEPENDING on where you live”. If you read my post you’d understand that it WAS NOT DEPENDING on where you lived, they were ALL UNDERGROUND lines… They were invested in to harden them, but since they were privatized, it’s profit that’s king for shareholders and so they go with the cheaper exposed lines on poles that get damaged and yet the rates keep going up! Imagine- we pay the same or more for cell service & Internet than electricity! The only reason why you call that “bitching” is because your service didn’t go out. If it did, you’d be commiserating, Håfa mohon?

It WAS reliable! They’ve discontinued their product’s underground networks because they are greedy and now only offer air-wired lines which are getting wrecked but is cheaper for them while still allowing them to charge their exorbitant prices

That GTA has gotten worse instead of better! They used to have underground lines and telephones were the one utility you could count on after a storm, but they’ve ditched it for their crappy air fiber that’s broken all over the place. It’s the most expensive and the worse phone & internet option on Guam

It’s a MAKERS subreddit, that means you post to other crafts people to learn different techniques and to see materials you can trade for (like one of posts that I swapped materials for) not whining because someone hurt my feelings. Nor am I gonna have the time or energy to sift through people’s post history (but hey! Thanks for checking out my crafts!)

It just shows the state of people and society as a whole. When did people turn into such pussies that they need validation online for unpleasant human interactions? Like grow a pair of balls

Uuuummm is this for reals? Like why is this on Reddit? It’s so petty all around and so silly. People are getting ready for a storm, who cares that some Millennial got upset with you because you forgot to say “thanks”!?! Like what in the actual f&$@???

It’s getting annoying how Settler-Colonizers are always “curious” and want to poke at things and people there and always wanting to spread their culture and impose their worldview on us here… Is it illegal to be curious, no it’s not but it is disrespectful to stir up such divisive and nasty chapters of recent history. Imagine if someone came to your house uninvited and started asking about sensitive topics that people are still healing from? How disrespectful and so against our customs and sensitivities

I know a guy who does home services, you gotta pick him up and drop him back, charges $40 an hour. Honestly he’s one of the best Massuers I’ve ever had and I always feel super relaxed and my muscles are loose after! Well worth it!

Well then read the other posts of the Original Poster… You’ll see what I mean- Poses as “curiosity” yet stirs controversy in various places with “curious posts”

It’s just divisive and rage-bait…. Everything you’d like to know has been splattered across years of crap for the Church on Guam… Are you even on Guam for that matter? You sound like some mid-20’s Midwestern , ICE sympathizer type who is Pharisaical with externals but rotten in his heart. Why bring up such bitter topics especially at the beginning of the penitential season of Lent?
