  • There is a ...

    There is a difference between Fil-Ams and fobs. Fil-ams can go to the Philippines with just a highschool diploma and become a politician. While a FOB no matter what college they graduate will always end up at jolibee.

  • Also, the people ...

    Also, the people talking in the video are rich people, they don't suffer poverty. Let the poor people speak.Majority of the population is poor. Do you think they care? Do you think they still have pride for their nationality? You think they care about learning english? What they care about is to earn money to feed their families.

  • well, parents ...

    well, parents should not be blamed about the attitude of their children. Their guidance have a little effect on them due to the environment they are in, trust me.Those high and mighty boastful PhilAms are just humans. You dont expect them to be the same as the rest of the Filipinos. Just leave them be.We judge people individually, not in general.

  • There are japanese ...

    There are japanese & russian scientists who dont speak a word of english so just because a flip native is not fluent in english doesnt make him dumb. Native Filipino tries to learn not only English but also tagalog besides their own ethnic language which makes english their 3rd language. There are also lots of thing that Flip natives know that Fil-ams don't and Vice versa. It's like 2 aliens of the same race were born & raised in two sepperate planets but currently intermingling. Pinoy Pride!

  • A bit confused. So ...

    A bit confused. So this is my 2nd or 3rd time watching this video. What is the big deal. so Filipinos from Philippines are saying Fil-Ams are not Filipino? and Fil-Ams are saying Filipinos from the Philippines are not smart?

    that was something I got from watching the video.

    Everyone should just give it up. Smartness depends on the individual. And if you have Filipino blood in you then you are Filipino. That is your ethnic background.

  • i think america has ...

    i think america has a racist culture cuz i see at school an even in public sometimes that most races stick to themselves. people shud accept their differences, move on an be friends cuz then nobody would discriminate against each other. also, it really doesnt matter to me if i cant speak tagalog(itd be nice to learn tho) cuz i live in america an whats the national language? english. btw im fil and black. :]

    I noticed most Fil Am's dont even care about the Philippines, they always say 'WE' referring to the US, and they S**t like I am wrong for saying the Philippines is part of Asia and they say I am not educated like them cause I went to school in the Phil, they dont even know our education, they never even been there, who the F**k do they think they are, alot of em are ignorant and stuck up

  • exactly, you were ...

    exactly, you were born here, you dont speak our language and you dont know our culture, you are an American, you have a face of an Filipino, but your not, you are white washed. Also how come Koreans born here? alot of em speak Han-gul even if they were not born in Korea, and who do you think you are saying the Philippines is not in Asia?

  • do you know why ...

    do you know why fil-ams don't speak tagalog? because they're from the US. does that not process in your tiny mind? and for fattyio, why do you put labels on value systems? values are subjective, you retard. i don't know who you guys think you are, but i'm filipino and i'm american. and just because i don't speak your language does not mean you can point your fuckin fingers and tell me i'm not. i am.

    That only means to say that Phil-Ams are a bunch of loser F*gs who forget Filipino values because they are trying hard idiots. Americans are not really racists. The only racist in America are the Phil-Ams who consider themselves real Americans.
