Since I’m too Americanized to know the difference, I’ve learned a few things about my Filipino culture in the order in which I best received the information.
Hanging Out
While still attending community college in south San Jose, CA, I was talking with another Filipino. He mentioned to me something about Filipinos. Most don’t hang around with blacks.
Each Other
According to my cuz Ferdie, he said that Filipinos are among the MOST prejudice among each other in terms of dialects spoken.
- Tagalog speaking are elitist and politicians.
- Visayan speaking were formally maids and servants.
- Ilocano speaking are very thrifty and eat lots of vegetables.
- Cavites, Pagsaghinan, and others have other interesting mixes.
All Filipinos love to show off.
Politically Correct
According to a parishioner, Poi said that Filipinos are mostly Republicans, which means most do not vote Democrat, unlike Paw who is a die-hard fan of Obama.
