Forum Support Old55 Posted March 4, 2012 Forum Support Posted March 4, 2012 Racist or clueless? Racism is not unknown in Philippines do forum members think this is racist?On the March 2012 cover of FHM Philippines, the country’s top-selling men’s mag, a light-skinned model emerges from a group of black models accompanied by the caption, “Stepping Out of the Shadows.” http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/03/01/racist-filipino-magazine-cover-axed-after-online-outrage/?iid=obinsite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art2ro Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 It's not clueless, but a borderline derogatory statement by the black and Filipina models, including the caption! JMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Old55 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Forum Support Posted March 4, 2012 Racism is any action or attitude, conscious or unconscious, that subordinates an individual or group based on skin color or race. It can be enacted individually or institutionally.Discrimination refers to the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit.

As you may know, the editor has already revisedits front cover due to many complaints from local Filipinos and those living abroad.From my observation, there is also a hidden class discrimination: the fake aristocrats vs the real poor, which includesthe rich fake Christians, the untouchables and their goons to flaunt and protect the status quo. If you ain't driving aPajero SUV or a Benz, you ain't chit......he, he.Proud to be a dark Filipino -- Jake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
