Why do most people from Western and other rich countries discriminate Filipino's? And why do they usually think of us as Gold diggers and stuff? How inferior it is to hear that thing if you were in our part either it is not easy to take that in your part knowing that people around the world describes Filipino as a Domestic Helpers.
In the Philippine history, Spanish colony has made a big change in the country and has made contributed positive things and negative things. The friars (Spanish friars of the past settling in the Philippines) is putting into the minds of the students and of the people that they are the Superiors since they are white and the Indios (Filipino's of before) are brown. In that thing you can already see that there is racial discrimination. One positive thing I can give upon their (the Spanish) contribution to the Philippines is Christianity in the land. This has been the greatest thing Filipino's at this present is proud of and has made most us religious, God-fearing, prayerful and these things but in the other hand on the negative side, Spanish made us traumatize on the things they have done like being innocent, and idiots. They kept on punishing the people of before if they won't pay their debts. In fact, we Filipino's are the real owner of this land and there is no need for us to be demanded on the debts rather it's in our whim to demand those things from them since they were foreign in the land. But look at what they did, because of power with so much guns, good swords and equipped soldiers, they controlled the land and called the Filipino's as squatters.
Now at the present times, the effects of those traumas have occurred from the cause. We oat to be blameless if we can't improve our economy that well, but time will come we will prosper since we have a kind of land that is much fertile and with lost of resources to cater the world. People would think we are poor, yes we are poor. Eventually, we are poor in terms of economy that is why most of us go to other lands just to be slaves and we don't care for as long as we can feed our families after those wages and labors being given. Though the world describes Filipina's as DH or Domestic Helpers but in our land we call them as Heroes- heroes of our family.
If you get to know our culture, I know you would understand everything why we come into certain things. For as long as we live happily, that's all it takes. The talks of the people won't stumble us down in fact we become stronger and stronger everyday. It doesn't mean we hate people the way they see us, well it's normal and its there will and choice to hate us. We can't stop them from it, but all I can say is that, respect is what we ask for. Respect us as humans and as a person.
