from my perspective, i believe that every person in different country possess good and bad traits within themselves, it's just how another person perceives that trait that leads to judgment. I myself is a filipino and i have had talked to so many americans as i am connected with an outsourcing business, at any rate even if we just met or talked to via phone i can easily say who are the friendly ones, the troubled ones, the racist etc. the friendly ones-welcomes you with a smile and kindness even if you call them during bad times, they show diplomacy and i salute them, the troubled ones- irate for the bills they have to pay, the racist-oh you're so asian! (just slammed the phone on me). In this manner it is hard for us to judge a society with different upbringing, may it be family or culture. What about our latest case of a U.S. army raping a filipina in Japan? i will not blame all the americans nor U.S.A for that case as we should be responsible for our actions, but this monster must be stripped off his skin and be pushed in a pool of pure lemon juice just to pay for it...again, i will never hate the americans nor any country for such atrocious act of a single person... for the racist, think again, we will have problems |
