this is the video that made a lot of filipinos angrrryyy
my take:
comedies are not to be taken seriously,
comedies at times are supposed to be stupid.
the skit is not funny as in.
i think it's more of sexist rather than racist,
that the maid happened to be a filipina is beside the point.
i think the anger over one bad/distasteful comedy is over the top.
the issues that the government should be attending to are
how are philippine embassies in making sure justice is being served to abused/maltreated ofws? hello? sexual abuse of the dh's are much more serious than this stupid joke....
what is our government doing to make sure its people don't have to slave away in far away countries, or as in the show's case, practically whore themselves out? give filipino people more choice...
the sketch may be repulsively offensive but it doesn't mean one can't look at it as a social commentary. take a look around and see the REAL situation...
p.s. (pilipino statement) ginagawa rin to ng telebisyong pinoy. tulad ng bubble gang atbp na gumagamit ng hindi kaaya-ayang mga pang-uri patungkol sa mga bumbay, intsik, hapon, bisaya... wag balat sibuyas medyo racist din tayo. atin ating lang to kaya tagalog
