0:00 [Music] okay this is mainly um I guess it kind of feels like it's more of a gripe on my part but uh I started thinking a lot about like Filipino people like Filipino Americans and this kind of came up a lot more visibly during the Olympics um in my head with the Filipino people I grew up with and the people in my community I see Filipinos as being generally easygoing funloving like a happier people that have a great sense of humor uh in in the social media age I now that I see what more people think outside of my own immediate reach it doesn't look like that oh really what do you think the stereotype is for
0:50 Filipinos I don't know what the stereotype is but I'm just starting to see more neck shark Filipinos where they don't have a sense of humor and they're just mad Oh you mean the Filipino activists yeah but it's more of like and this is what happened is that like there's this uh there's this former newscast her name is Maria Medina and she uh was an anchor before she uh switched careers but she's Filipino America and she pointed this out with a post and it was of the Filipino Amic or not just Filipino Americans but Filipinos from different countries not Philippines doing well in the Olympics and having Filipinos from Philippines try to downplay it and be like well they're not representing Philippines wow and it was really surprising to like see that there was so many of that so is it like you left your incestrial lands well
1:42 it's um you're Canadian you're not I guess the number one thing that got brought up and I I realized that there's a lot of essays and like books written about this is that Filipinos have a problem generally with crab mentality do you know crab mentality yeah how it's like oh if it's like crabs in a bucket and if one of them's trying to get out then they all like pull them back in but how come everyone went behind Pacquiao is it cuz he stayed in the Philippines Philippines Filipino that doesn't make sense though because I've seen like Bruno Mars he's like a quar or half Filipino or something like that and he's from uh the states but they support him like crazy that's another issue is that Philippines and maybe some like I don't know next shark Filipinos don't like when Philippines Gets behind someone just because they're part Filipino they don't like that oh really but then
2:33 they do it though so why what's up with that well you would think that everyone would just be proud but it's divisive it's still like there's some people that are like oh that they're not even like all the way Filipino who gives a ████ like that's crazy I always seen support I wish Japanese people had that I've always thought it was support and then like the longer you look now it might just be that it's cuz of neck shark like the longer you look now you just see so many more Filipino haters which I never like Filipinos that just hate on everything they just like hate ████ it's like like when you think about how small Philippines is like and the fact that this D diaspora went around the world and are still being able to achieve ████ being like the minority in their Community it's pretty ████ rad right but then like to still find a way to be this other Filipino person that hasn't even achieved a fraction of that and to
3:25 sit back and be like that doesn't count it's like crazy that's crazy cuz I don't I don't usually see that at all Filipinos hating on other Filipinos like that but like I I don't I don't really pay attention to next Shar that much um but what I do see is like Filipino people really idolizing non-filipinos non-filipinos like completely philippin like K-pop k-pop's usually the pH yeah yeah yeah dude I mean I I think that's so weird I think they just like celebrating cool ████ yeah but like then why would anybody have a reason to like hate something that is cool that's part Filipino you know what I mean I think it's that that's why it's the crab mentality thing of like I think it might be a new gen thing which is why we don't really remember seeing it because if you go let's say you go on any Filipino
4:15 Instagram like Filipinos in the six or whatever and they they post about uh certain Olympians doing well like guaranteed the comments are going to be like a lot of people talk about maybe it's just the internet in general and they just brought a lot of haters and and gave him a microphone maybe that's what it is well that's what I mean is because the we don't we're not used to seeing that ████ because we didn't grow up around I guess people that have healthy Social Circles don't tend to act like ████ idiots right so then but then you're starting to notice this this group of Dum Fox yeah we're just not we're just never going to meet them and then they're popping out yeah so we're just not going to meet those guys and we probably never will and that's the part that's interesting is like these people that have these strong opinions online and telling you you probably will never see them in real life yeah but it surprises me that that's even a thing that will get a lot
5:06 of likes I'm like what the you know you know what crazy with the Olympics um in the US men's basketball right Joel embiid is from Cameroon but like also like I guess it's a French provin or something like that and he at one point talked about potentially playing for Team France yeah um but then he ended up playing for Team USA right so that means every single time he stepped onto the court at the Paris Olympics the entire Stadium booed all of France would always why cuz he's not representing France he's not playing for France right but he ended up he never said he was for sure going to play for France even though the French team and stuff like that they they ended up starting to expedite his passport in order to allow him to play for Team France but he never ended up doing it but it became a thing of like motivation and endurance he actually felt like it was a a I don't know a call sign of respect and he embraced the fact that everybody always booed literally the second he touched the ball people
5:56 would boo him like crazy but here's the thing he he made the decision to play for Team USA cuz he said he spent most of his life in America mhm you know what I mean so it's kind of like the athlete has that choice now a bunch of Filipinos that did represent in the Olympics especially like the ones that we're familiar with or or yeah like Logan yeah it's like she lived her whole life out here yeah you know and it's like the here's the crazier part the dude the the one Filipino dude who won uh what was it gymnastics gymnastics yeah yeah that dude yeah uh outside of the fact that apparently his mom stole a bunch of his money or some ████ his family didn't support him yeah but like he got like crazy endorsements right because he was like the one saving representation for that entire country so he got like a ████ ton of crazy endorsements whereas
6:46 like again with the US you have so many different representatives of so many different lanes that like if you Podium or if you do well in any case it's not like you're you're getting celebrated at that same esteem so I mean there's different that's there's different concepts of Relativity to like a nation's Pride or representation and stuff like that so I guess again I don't see the next chart type of Filipino hate and crab mentality like you're not Filipino enough yeah but like I'm I'm just more like I would assume that if from the Philippines I see people supporting Philippines I feel like Japanese are like the opposite like they don't give a ████ if you're Japanese dude they're so bored of being Japanese I thought they don't accept anyone that's not like full Japanese oh they're ████ racist they don't see me as Japanese at all but like if they're if they're there and then like they don't have this connection of like how Koreans and everyone's are like you're ████
7:37 you're ████ one of us all right man is more like okay so like their whole country is Japanese right there's no diversity so for them they don't appreciate that yeah I think it's definitely like a gen shift kind of because when when we went to the Philippines and performed like we got nothing but positivity we went on all the shows yeah anybody that and even if you're not Filipino if you're just into something they like it's it's all love but then like now it's it looks different the the landscape looks different I still think the positive people are the majority and these haters are the online minority of in general like there's no way that that's like real but the question is like why is that even a phenomenon now I think the sad part is is that you would hope right like you would hope that as a Filipino
8:28 ameran that what whatever you did would Inspire someone from the ████ Philippines the same way it does someone from here but then they're like you're not Filipino enough yeah but then it's like but you're not doing ████ either way so like why don't you just take it as inspiration rather than criticize it right because the real thing is karaoke so if you did really good karaoke they don't give a ████ America Canada appropriating it that's a hot tip you know how the Philipine like Filipino people feel about like is it Olivia Rodrigo she half Filipino yeah she's half yeah do they do they love her or hate her that's what I'm asking as far as I I know Filipino Americans love Olivia Rodrigo I think everybody does like she's massive that's
9:19 what I'm wondering if like Philippines but you will see like if NE shark posted anything about Olivia Rodrigo for sure you'll see you those people will come out and they'll be like oh she's not even full like they just have some ████ to say to hate somebody for not being full something is literally the ████ weakest thing the reason they hate it is because they think that and this actually happened which is why they hate this is that people who are part Filipino and are celebrities are only expressing that when it's convenient to them how they see yeah they see it that way kind of like how sheay Mitchell recently denounced it almost in a way but she said she's Spanish dude that ████ is funny because she didn't mention it now like not like when but when you're coming up and you want their support you're like I'm like you guys or when you're like on the decline don't forget I'm Filipino but then like when you're on top they they don't think enough attention gets brought to it
10:09 which I I only find that valid because there are true examples of that M but Filipino is one of the cool Asians though like I've never seen a Filipino person being ashamed of like I'm Filipino like yeah always been proud to have it I'm on the boat of people being able to Champion whatever side of their like thing is is convenient because they've probably also experienced whatever side of their thing as an inconvenience yeah for sure yeah that was like when when I was talking about how like Chinese people didn't fully accept me as a kid cuz I was also Vietnamese and the Vietnamese people didn't accept me as a kid because I was also Chinese and I grew up and I was like well ████ you guys I'm Chinese when it's convenient I'm Vietnamese when it's convenient you know what I mean like I'm going to live my life because other people didn't let me live it a certain way too so like ████ off you know I heard Filipinos in the Philippines are actually hella
11:02 Shady to their own family no that's what I heard too because I to land when it comes to stuff like that you're you're not wrong I mean we have land disputes with our own family why do every Filipino have some type of like back home we have farms and land I think that's why I asked the question of like is it just that I never saw it until now because I've been so preoccupied by being lucky to be surrounded by cool ones and but it's always been but it's always been and then if I really think about it like oh ████ actually my family's full of haters like yeah and it's pretty it's because it's such a poor country it's pretty crazy what the laws are over there how people act how people think how people drive how people ride may maybe it's just weird to see it on social media maybe it is because it's like it's like that Hate's always going to be there in everybody's like family or situation or stories from her freaking aunti or whatever is it that
11:52 we've reached the point where there's enough Filipinos in entertainment that we could start hating on them cuz before there was hardly that's you know what I mean like if you see one you're like which is why Manny Pacquiao was so crazy but now you even got like Bianca from the the F1 racer you know what I'm talking about Ria and it's like Dam now you got a Filipino chick who's racing F1 you got who's like chop tarten the uh Tartan tart yeah shepping the charts you know what say Sal how about salti who's that Sal poy she Philipino no Sal Wei isn't she Black and Filipino I don't know who that Ohi is Sal so so is HR yeah yeah so like there's enough people that are like are you are dope enough to be consistently dope in many fields that of course you're going to pull haters like you said who who's not at the top of doesn't doesn't have some sort of hate yeah
12:43 you're not Filipino enough so what do they want him to be crunching a pet every day crunch I don't know that's the thing is like I don't know how do you even resolve that that type of hate doesn't seem like there's a standard you could meet to gain their approval what's going to make him Filipino it seems like they're just comfortable feeling now yeah he need to walk around a cassava cake and ████ I am booy which is like I think that's the unfortunate part it's not like you're being judged by your peers you're being judged by people that maybe they don't visualize that for themselves or they don't think you're doing it the way that they would have yeah but they're just a bunch of crabs man slash you only care about being judged by your peers you know what I mean exactly that's like the the true thing in life like another basketball reference but like Nicole Nicol y yic he plays for Serbia right and it's like a ████ joke and a funny meme that like this guy was like MVP of the NBA NBA and he like when he won the
13:33 NBA Finals with his own team like he barely celebrated he just wanted to go ████ watch horse racing the next day and stuff like that instead of go to the parades but when he won bronze with his Serbian national team he was partying like crazy and everybody's joking around because he's so happy and he specifically says like it's different when you like uh hit a high with like your friends and family versus with your co-workers sure mhm yeah you know what I'm saying so it's like imagine like if you're a Filipino American and I'm speaking on behalf of like anybody who might be a whatever American it's like if your family and stuff like that are here it's like championing for your nation is like cool and all because you're proud of your culture and your ethnic Heritage but if those are like you know you're not really connected as much it's like of course you're going to ████ play for your home team cuz that's where you born raised that's where your friends and your family are
14:23 there's going to be a sense of like joy for what your experien is to rep like what you've grown to know yeah that's true that's cool man do you think people claim you in the Philippines and go Ryan he's one of us I think like I got pretty solid confirmation of that when we did tour because they did the Filipino guy yeah they we went on OA we did like all the interviews and stuff and they would they love to point out like oh yeah exactly and and I love to like agree with that I'm like ████ yeah that's that's you know like I'm not from the Philippines in the same way that you know like someone that just got here is but that's where the glory goes you know like I wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that so did you do interviews dude I'm Filipino by proxy I claim Ryan just like I claimed the jais but that's also yeah that's also because we we're from the generation of like firsts of a lot of like different breakthrough
15:14 things and I think now we've entered people that are we've entered a generation that was born into that already being in place so now they can pick and choose who they don't and do like before it was like you see ████ Dante BOS and that's you're God now they got the privilege to be or Kino and you're like that's my God you know it's like you didn't got enough of them to go around why would you waste time nitpicking them you know true so maybe that's like maybe being hated on is a sign of where it's a blessing that we have enough Filipinos in entertainment that being hated on is a good thing I feel like having haters or being a hater is a privilege because now you you have something to hate like you were saying being a hater yeah yeah because think about because like they must be so bored like every they have nothing else to worry about but hate like cuz if if you were actually like working and you're doing ████ and you don't have the luxury to be a hater the priv be being hated on
16:07 also make you uh something to talk about make you a news here here's the thing here's the thing remember how like uh you saw like the like little tidbits here and there the news articles that are talking about how much uh hate and discrimination the Chinese people were getting at the Paris Olympics oh yeah but it's like hate Chinese that's crazy that's crazy I don't know I heard they don't like Chinese people well even in that last poster that like was a poster the recap the the uh Olympics did you see that there was a there was a poster that the official like poster of everything that was like a known moment in the Olympics and there was uh Chinese hate was one of it there was only one Asian even though like China was the tied for the most medals yeah but it was all of like I think and their argument was like no it's just it's made up of all the viral moments it's not made up of the
16:58 people that want but then like isn't that the point of the Olympics though like you're going to like show the viral people not the yeah I'll show it to you but like I thought it's cuz parisians hate Chinese cuz they're always like coming in Annoying tourists and stealing their Costco samples yeah but point is it's like if China wasn't killing it so hard like why the ████ would somebody hate on it you don't want to punch down they us because they anus you know what I mean anus it's this um Olympic poster it says like Ora Paris Ora and what's the one Asian thing D I don't see any Asian girl shooting right there is like the only one oh the Korean girl that's Korean oh that's crazy so literally no Chinese on there even though they got 20 gold yeah that's weird that's pretty wild everything else they're just not memorable dude they to they look alike I mean that's where like I think that that sentiment is the true
17:48 like remember the thing with universities how they were like why don't enough Chinese people get in if their scores are so high no you know it's a viral thing that that they definitely didn't put there um the ████ Chinese male swimmer who like beat out the Australian and the American uh pen whatever and then they were saying that he must have been doping or whatever but did he like did he have a photograph that was like iconic that he was doing something funny yeah he got bumped by the camera lady no that was a different guy that guy also got bumped by the camera isn't it or or or how about the Chinese girl who was like third or second on the podium and she didn't understand the cultural thing of everybody biting the metal so she like looks whatever she's like that's funny yeah you would think that be there cute one but like there's hella just no Chinese representation yo what if they're just scared of putting the wrong dude on the poster but what makes it the right dude yeah didn't you say Shing chonging
18:39 not ching chong Pang yeah I don't know ching chong all South Koreans North Korea remember that what the fers you got to be somewhat dumb for that do you like that when that happens I don't care I do I do think that's a bad call like with China winning 20 gold and you don't ████ put one at least put the flag in just like that one chick who just randomly bumped the hell out of that Chinese that was bad it's like come on dude yeah don't even apologize they like find out she got she got uh she got removed she got banned good oh yeah good get her out of there that was CRA cuz she literally like went side Gunk and no apology she didn't like say something in they were like saying oh you can't see her mouth but she said something in Swedish or something was she Swedish I have no idea she said
19:30 something she said Ikea supposedly she said like like I think it's like a starts with a o it's like a really fast I'm sorry was like the my bad of Sweden or some ████ I don't know she was like whoops yeah I just thought it was interesting cuz I I never had anyone to talk to about that because I'm like oh the Chinese divers ████ anyways yeah the Chinese L there were a lot of like really memorable Chinese div were lit one of my favorite things to do is to get um rage bait neck shark commenters cuz they get so angry it's so funny yeah but then that's the thing they're professional angry people like you have to go to work eventually they can just still be angry right
