I'm ready to contact the lawyers and just file and accept what happens.
Anyone know a good lawyer in Texas (or a good hit man in Korea)?
Happy Mongering!

No matter. I'm not black, so I can only go by what my black friends tell me, and what Filipinas say (and do).

Posts: 4050Filipinas in Dubai
I've been in Dubai 7 years and I know many Filipinas - I've had a few Filipina GFs in that time (and a couple of them on the side now). I don't think they are any more racist than other nationalities. But they are into fun with anyone, just like any other girl who is overseas and away from the constraints of family and friends.
PS - Goodenough - agreed. I have a cute Filipina maid, but I don't touch her, for obvious reasons. Some of her friends have flirted with me, but I play straight. No need for the hassle.

Posts: 4050I learned something
Thanks to Daddy Warbucks and Pimpster. I guess you're never too old to learn, and I learned something, no matter how unpleasant.
As an old white guy I guess I better stay here where attracting younger Filipinas is never a problem, rather than going back to the states to face rejection. I have more the body of the football than the football player, and though I might get taken for 50ish, I'll sure never be able to pretend I'm younger than that. I guess here in the Philippines the expectation that you have money and may be able to offer them a visa more than compensates for the age and physical stature. Think I'll stay here.

Posts: 145With respect to discrimination, filipina often discriminate on the same line that Indian people do if not more so. Here what I've notice about filipina living in america, not all but the ones that still speak english with the accent. They will discriminate against their own people if you are from the province and you don't speak tagalag. If you are filipino and you are dark they don't like that they say its dirty. Actually, I've been corresponding with a light skin filipina on DIA and she refers to this a lot "you know the dark people who work outside they look dirty". If you are filipino and you speak english at work instead of tagalag, they don't like you. If you are black forget about it. If you are asian they are somewhat ok with that but you have to be really good looking americanize and have $$$. If you old white guy forget about it no matter how much money you have. Even if they are old they want someone looking younger than they are, preferably blond and blue eyes pale skin but will settle for cute hispanic guy. Many will only date whites though. Its almost an inferiority complex issue. Of course this is just what I've seen in the hospitals that I've worked for. Keep in mind that we are talking about filipina that haven't been living in the u.s. for decades upon decades and there always exception to the rule, but in general they are like this.

Posts: 4050Surprised
I'm surprised too at DW's conclusions, though I do not doubt his experience for a second. I've only been to Dubai once, and I've only met a couple of Filipinas who work there, and I didn't get that impression. Then again, our meetings were short and I wanted nothing from these women, nor they from me, so my impressions are probably not worth much.
I'm somewhat surprised too by the racism, as I've never seen it displayed here. I've been out on the town in Manila with black friends from Africa, and I didn't notice that they were treated any differently than I was. Is my sample too small, or are Filipinas normally racist?
