Asia Finest Discussion Forum > Asian Culture > Filipino Chat

ok it may sound strange to those who don't know what a japanophile is (click link here), but according to wikipedia, a japanophile is someone "with a strong interest in one or more aspects of Japan or Japanese culture."

then my okinawan-filipina female friend whom ive been hitting off tolm me i was one. i was surprised, but after a hard thought, i realized i do have the hots for them Japanese embarassedlaugh.gif biggthumpup.gif . maybe ive had too much anime when i was growing up? now having said that, i wasnt alone growing up watching dragon ball z's, ghost fighter's and flame of recca's. am i alone, or do u think most filipinos my age have some sort of fascination towards the japss? laugh.gif confused.gif

When a large majority of a country's fellow teenagers start liking another culture than their own, this really calls for more cultural promotion in Philippines. A lot of Asian countries do despise Japan in some way, specially China and Korea. I don't know why Philippines don't, specially when they killed so many of us and made lots of women into "comfort women". The Japanese were the worse colonizers EVER. The Spanish and Americans treated us a hundred times better than them.

all the filipino chicks i see around are dating white guys, black guys or some kind of latin/tanned men who could grow a moustache in 5 hours and can take out pop-eye with their pectorial muscles
:P

let me correct that, the Americans not the Japanese were the worst colonizers in the Philippines probably more cruel than the Spaniards

we've gone through this all ready. Japanese don't respect any other Asians. they only respect Asian-Americans and it does not matter what type too. icon_neutral.gif

and Filipinos from Philippines are looked down in Japan so is US soldiers in different parts of the country.

your attempt in disbanding Filipinos from their own Culture is starting to pissing me off (and should others too)and now you want take them away from the Asian culture too. Talktohand.gif

as I recalled WW2 up to 30K japanese troops died in Philippines and what want you to use "comfort woman". I've read diaries of US troops looking at these "comfort woman" exact their revenge on the japanese assailants by cutting the throats of their babies and also the throats these japanese troops to show whos side they were on.

and please Spanish....Filipinos lost all their rights to life, liberty and property. For 300+ years, the indios (Filipinos, us) were considered perpetual legal minors. WE could not even own property or do practically anything unless approved by their legal guardians – the Spanish civil or church officials. The Spaniards owned all properties in the islands. But, they gave some to their favorites – their sidekicks, their lovers or their illegitimate children.... to have a good life, they need to be in the good graces of the "Spanish". The women can be the lovers of these Spanish. It was common for Spanish priests to have a mestizo children.

sample RIZAL'S Family.

QUOTE
The seventh of the eleven children of Francisco Mercado and Teodora Alonzo. José Rizal was born into a prosperous middle class Filipino family in the town of Calamba in the Province of Laguna. Dominican friars granted the family the privilege of the lease of a hacienda and an accompanying rice farm, but contentious litigation followed; later, Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau had the buildings destroyed.


how is that treated better?

they AFTER all the these HELP set up SCHOOLS AND GOVERNMENT FOR THE FILIPINOS....at least the the American did after the Philippines-American War.

did they contribute to the economy of the PHILIPPINES.

no they left and forgot about their DESTRUCTIVE WAYS AND ONLY AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN WELFARE.

SPANISH TOOK MOST OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCE MIGHT I ADD. thumbsdown.gif

redzeitgeist
the debate goes on about the misgivings of our past colonizers. theres no denying, all of the historical points are true. but seriously, when a cute japanese chick seats next to me in a bus, should i go like this? "YOU! how dare you and you're people rape and bastardize our women?" of course not. im not saying we shouldn't talk about it, but if that Japanese chick looks so cute, the world wars back then wouldnt even come first thing in my mind...i'd rather say "hey whats up, wanna check out the nearest mall?" beerchug.gif and think "yatta! kimi wa kawaii desho!"

I'm w/ you. Just because we're Asian doesn't mean we have to embrace East Asian culture. It's not the same as our culture. You don't see East Asians embracing SE Asian culture. In fact many of them look down on us. And I dont see what's the big deal about Japanese culture and why ppl are so obsessed with it. Every culture is unique and cool in it's own way, i dont see why ppl think Japanese is any better. I'm a big fan of Tanzanian culture.

But yeah, i know soo many ppl that are obsessed w/ Japanese culture. I know this girl that basically lives in her own anime world. She acts like the anime characters are real ppl.
