Teri Hatcher insults Filipinos

In the Premiere of Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher made a remark about Filipinos - doctors/nurses. She was talking to her doctor and then she said "Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines."

Update: 10/04/07

The producers of the hit TV series "Desperate Housewives" on Thursday issued an apology for an insulting line that belittled the practitioners of the medical profession in the Philippines.

"The producers of Desperate Housewives and ABC Studios offer our sincere apologies for any offence caused [by the insulting remark] in the season premier," ABC Network said in a short statement of apology obtained by ABS-CBN North America News Bureau.

Although not all but I found many Filipino doctors to be ARROGANT and DISRESPECTFUL TO NURSES.

They think very highly of themselves. It is a shame.

It's funny cause it true... And most guys in my country (Philippines) get butt hurt if they hear someone make fun of our country, like that incident with Alec Baldwin.
