Just when we had a positive citation of Filipinos in the international media scene, this nasty issue popped up:
#20 - Teri Hatcher insults Filipinos
So now of course the country is up in arms and an online petition has been started against both ABC and the producers of Desperate Housewives for the racial slur. The local blogosphere is pretty miffed about it as well - just check out some of the Filipino blogs you might already read and you can expect this to be mentioned within the week.
Why do we always get into these things? Before it was about being a country known for our maids - now they're claiming we have hack doctors too? Geez.
