In the PI people some times call you just they way they see you, negro, taba, etc. And people don't seem to mind. If that were to happen in the states though there would be a lot of angry people. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) 2

[Console76]

Of course I get offended, but like you say... that's how it is there... what can I do, make them change their way of life?... maybe...

[flipcombatmedic]

fu-k when i was in training. i was the toughest no nonesense of all them bastards cuz i couldn't feel anything about all the words you know. i grew up in that in my culture, being called all sorts of name. but it's all in the name of fun and lighehertedness.

my drill sergeant use to tell all kinds of $hit right in our face, how we're so stupid. i was like a zombie, just stared blankly like wind is passing by.

[JMAC]

Name calling is prevalent...you could actually go on until you piss each other off...

[item1702]

Well you could always just kill them. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_twisted.gif) Na, that would just be wrong. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/nono.gif)

Like you said before they don’t mean any harm by it, so maybe if you told them you don’t like it they would stop. And if they don’t, well you are kind of like the Godfather of Mindoro so I’m sure you can find another way to handle it. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Pinoys are used to nicknames, probably that's why. Hehe..
SOme even have nickname and REAL names like "Honey [name here], Cherry [name here]" and so on and so forth.

[flipcombatmedic]

i like nicknames that describe them like native american.

if filipinos go by that we'd have names like tabang baboy. magnanakaw na unggoy. baklang aso. etc

[maogmang_aki]

hahaha that would be a hoot! but mostly in the province, people are known by their nicks... like si Iskong Ugong or si Carpiong Duling...

[flipcombatmedic]

i remember using tabatchoy, or just batchoy, that when i found out that a good soup called La Paz Batchoy, i started laughing

[Kanlungan]

I remember when I was in Prep, there's this kid who always called me "intsik". I didn't know that intsik was Chinese. I thought he was trying to call me "insect". LOL
