HAHAHAHA "because you're darker than what he already cannot see! GO TO THE KITCHEN AND DRINK YOUR ESKINOL" lmao, this is seriously some funny shit. i love rex!
This is unfortunately a reality. I can't count the number of ads I've seen promoting white skin, explicitly endorsing that once your skin is whiter and clearer, you will undoubtedly attract many men (another problem is just how much this appears to be prioritized over everything else, seeing as the birth rates in this country are absolutely miserly when you think of per capita income). But that's another story. It is a PERSISTENT ATTITUDE. I'm not saying fair girls are ugly, but it's all skewed.
fuck that i love being brown! shit white people try to be brown like us but they cant white people spend all day in the sun and they turn red not like us we can choose either light or dark brown! fuck that i love being brown! filipino pride and brown pride all day everyday
wow i didn't know filipinos in the philippines thought like that. it is a shame that they have no pride in their skin color. any skin color is beautiful. it's just that some are blind to see it but i think it may have been also influenced by previous family generations.
i hate to say it but my brother thinks like that also and i wish he didn't influence my younger brother that way. i don't him to be worrying about something that is hating oneself.
hey im a phillipino well sort of my parents use too but the weird thing is even thought i am 10 percent phillipino 10000 percent canadien i am star hockey player even thought my parents were born in the phillipines and im still a hockey star
people,people-all this praise of whiteness/paleness/light = better is just another vestige of the Conquistadores to keep all brown/black skinned people subjugated-it's called divide & conquer -
the worst form of self hatred passed down to generations-Shame on all of you that have these mental shackles-i want to cry when I see blond hair & blue contact lenses where they so don't belong-your natural features make us beautiful people-that is why it should be celebrated & accentuated-who's with me
when filipinos praise whiteness, it embarrasses me! i can't believe that with all the brains we have and with all the diversity in filipinos, we are so color struck. it really embarrasses me cuz we have no right to have self hatred. GEEZ!!! we can't claim ignorance cuz ignorance means we're making an uniformed choice to be assholes about something. we are NOT uniformed nor stupid. we know better but we just choose to do that which is most damaging upon ourselves. ge over it, pinoys! we r notputi
yup. another thing that bothers me is when they tell you they're hawaiian or guamanians even if they are pinoy. I hated that. I encountered one lady who told me she was guamanian when I can hear her thick Fil-Visayans accent. My gosh! I was so embarrassed
I'm Filipino... But I can't get a proper tan, it's ANNOYING! What's with the people in the Philippines wanting to be lighter skinned?? The more tanned the better!
Stupid UV rays don't really like me, they don't go to me. Rex is funny ass! xD
your right! filipino's bleach skin and praise someone for being white skin but yet- in the United States, filipinos are still considered a minority and still being discriminated - so the TABLE HAS TURNED!!!
"drink your eskinol", "you are too dark, no one will marry you". Have you noticed that it's only the Pinays that carry this self-hating trait? Ask a Pinoy to comment on his skin and he'll say: I'm brown and proud of it. The Filipina culture needs to be held to a higher standard.
i thought that it was only pinays... but when i moved here for school... i noticed that even guys here care alot about being light... it made me laugh... just the fact that here in the PI they want to be hella light/white... but back in the states everyone wants to be tanned! hahaha
all shades of brown LMAO

At least you guys have a 'sense of humor' with colorism---with blacks, it could be very painful

people got to stop thinking that being white skin is the only thing to be considered beautiful. there are also dark beauties out there as well.

it's okey if a pinoy wanna be a bit lighter. one thing that bothers me when a pinoy will mock another pinoy for being darker.
