Filipino kid in Canada punished for eating with spoon and fork

[yacky2006]

They use fork and knife. No spoon.

naa spoon pirmi uy, kalidades man gani ang sizes ibutang. ang issue kay gidungan ug gamit ang spoon ug fork. what they want is get the fork first and scrape the rice into a mound, put the fork down, get the spoon and scoop the rice to eat.Â* Â*

bitaw, dungan man nako gamit ang spoon ug fork pero wa pa may westerner nga nibadlong nako, na-amuse lang siguro sa akong ways pero wa kaako ug badlong kay kabalo sila nga lahi ko nila. butchokoy lang jud ni Mr. Bergeron kay mamugos sa ilang pamaagi.

How about inviting Mr. Bergeron to the Philippines and serve him with rice, he should eat it because that's what Filipinos eat and he's in our country.Â* And tell him the proper way to eat is by using two forks at the same time, one in each hand. Would he be obliged to do it because he is in our country?

dili rice ang e serve nato niya uy.... puso dayon tudloan nato unsa-on pag pikas sa puso.....

i remember before naa cardinal ni visist dinha from rome ni request ug tinabal kay naka tilaw na cya ana nga state product sa iya alay2x nga pinoy...

I can't believe it.. I mean it may not seem proper to them, but it what the kid knows to be the right way, and we're doing it here.. does it mean the people here in the philippines deserve to be punished by the french or canadians or whoever just for the manner that we consume our lunch/dinner..?

Here then comes the problems of morals, norms and standards, etc.. but anyway, this may have an impact on those wanting to migrate to Canada, I heard from a friend who once lived in Canada and returned here, that racism is very evident in their society, so much that they couldn't bear it, they decided to come back here..

somewhat like racial discrimination man na oi.... murag against sila ba nga ang mga Pilipino tagaan ug karapatan nga mugamit ug spoon and fork...... mao nay nakabati sad sa laing lugar..... its better in our own place rather than going to the other sea

this could be a sample or racial dicrimation or just ignorance with the other countries' tradition. smack!

[jumps_zilla]

we could do that, just make sure your comments are civil and are not abusive. let's not stoop down to the level of this so-called "principal". this is a very prime example if racism and intolerance if i ever saw one. i hope that the lunch monitor and the principal get kicked out of the school.
