Equating supporters of either candidate to "the land of color discrimination" is ignorant at best. There is a difference between supporters and discrimination. If issues were as black and white as you portray, Obama would have won no states and neither would Clinton. Both candidates require delegates arising from every color. If there was any truth to what you were saying, Edwards, the charismatic white male candidate would have won the nomination a long time ago. There is more discriminatory division in the Philippines, a country that would easily fit into just one of the many US states, than there is here. Long have I heard Manila call Cebuanos lower class. Long have I heard mainstream Catholic Pinoys talk less of minority Muslims. If you are going to talk about discrimination, get off you non-existing high horse and talk on the same level.
I'd like to see an actual account with these signs, not mere hearsay. Not only is it unbelievable, but we have very harsh laws that forbid discrimination and very powerful organizations that would slap anyone around that does discriminate. Urban legends don't count.
Thats the truth most of us could not accept.Even here in our country,election winners are always favor to win in their own birth region.Although thre are few who will lost in their own territory because of their performance but still most voters will based their ballots on their own son.Yes it is true that even here in the Philippines discrimination is always a factor in any elections.If you are cebuano and you are voting for a Tagalog and a cebuano president,who will you vote?Urban legends dont count because men make legends.
