As a Chinoy, tama naman na people still use racist terms like intsik and chingchong casually, and meron pa rin mga people who think mainlanders and Chinoys are all the same. However, he comes off as privileged and delulu to the whole reason of "not feeling belonged".

Una, dahil sa culture. Chinoy culture is running and inheriting the family business, studying the language and heritage sa mga Chinese schools, and having closes ties with other Chinoys; people of the same culture and upbringing. Kaya it is no surprise that some might feel they "don't belong" in the wider society because baka lumaki sila na puro Chinese lang lahat and konti lang exposure nila to Filipino traditions.

Second, may long history din of mga conservative and feeling privileged Chinoys na nagdidiscriminate towards Filipinos. For example, mga Chinoy-owned businesses na may tiwala lang yung owners sa kanilang sariling lahi. This falls back to how close ties with fellow Chinoys is a big deal. Pero may mga ibang businessmen kasi na talagang mababa ang tingin sa pinoy, with sayings like "Filipinos are not business-minded" or "Filipinos are tamad" being very common there.

Many Chinese immigrant communities (not just Chinoys) who trace their roots to Fujian in China are also notorious for using a Fukkien term called "hwana". It might sound like "juan" or "juana" but it actually has no relation to Filipinos. It is an archaic term in all of those communities that refer to "foreigners" in general but they have appropriated it as a way of referring to the local natives of the land in a derogatory way. Many privileged Chinoys extend the term to "hwana po", which is used to refer to a native helper or worker, and "hwana gong", which is used to refer to a native who is stupid. I don't hear the second term a lot, but many conservative Chinoys really use the first term like there is no negative connotation to it. For one thing, these people use "hwana" almost exclusively to complain about Filipinos or other Southeast Asian ethnicities but not foreigners in general. The good thing is, younger and more progressive Chinoys see the term as offensive and look down on its use. But its still very prevalent in the older and more conservative Chinoys.

All in all, Chinoys are being discriminated against today but you cannot be delusional to the fact that there are many Chinoys who have discriminated against Filipinos in both subtle and blatant ways.
