@pogy uy..... wala man kaayo mga bisaya dire sab sa States mao na. Kadaghanan mga tagalog man. Look even in my own family, nobody speaks bisaya but tagalog and english combined. My children can understand tagalog but they cannot speak the language. Pero talk to them in Bisaya wala gyud masabtan kay ang ilang exposure is already english and tagalog. I have actually forgotten to speak Bisaya after living in the States for so long a time since teenager pa ko i came here when i was 17. I could not even speak Bisaya anymore. All my friends and people around me speak tagalog as the universal dialect in the States for pinoys. Until i came across some Discussion Boards in Bisaya that i learned to have a good grasp of the dialect again. If not because of that, handicapped na sab kaayo akong Bisaya and even now when i speak in Bisaya naa na ko english accent lain na ang punto sa akong Bisaya and some words i could not say it cause i have forgotten the Bisayan word. It just goes with the length of time i've lived here in the States. So you cannot also judge and say hilas ang mga tagalog dire. Tagalog is just a more widely accepted form of language and dialect here for all pinoys to have that common ground in their line of communication, which to me really is no big deal.

Bali pud ni ako amigo kay tagalog ni siya pero dili ganahan mag tagalog, magistorya man hinoon ug bisaya kay ganahan gyud kuno siya sa mga bisaya niya nga mga amigo ug amiga kay mga maayo kuno dili plastic.

Whatever it doesn't really matter for me dili gyud big deal. Because wherever you go, naa gyud na discrimination, only different nature how a person gets discriminated. I guess this is one of the reasons why dili magkahi-usa (right ni akong bisaya?) ang mga pinoys because this is one of those things that separates people instead of unite.

ako kung "pinoy" gani nga mganutana "Are you a Filipino?"... akong tubag sige kay "No, I'm a Cebuano!" :P

dili man siguro na sila mang descriminate.. kita man siguro.. kay sige lang nato ma katan'aw sa ila nga hambog

pinoy.. abi nilang mga isog kaau ... kay gahi man kaayo ta ug mga tuno... :P

@streetcar: you got a point

Actually mga tagalogs, everytime i meet someone for the first time...they always ask me taga saan ka sa atin? then moingon ko bisaya ko. Then mao diay kuno mga mestisa guapa ang mga Bisaya but when you say gwapa ang mga Bisaya its usually Cebu they are referring to which i agree, ahemmm, pero dili man ko taga Cebu. So moingon sila mga guapa mestisa ang mga Bisaya, what they mean by that mga Cebuana guapa. So generally mga tagalogs here sa States, very positive man ang comments nila about mga Bisaya. They always say they've been to Cebu and Boracay and quite loving it. I think mas grabe pa ang discrimination dinha sa ato compared to here, with their own kind mga Filipinos ra sab. What it is i think some people already have this preconceived notion about either Bisaya or tagalog and it could just be the language barrier that seems to be the subject of fun unintentionally perhaps not even discrimination.

Well I am one-half cebuano & one-half ilonggo. To be fair w/ cebuanos and ilonggos, dili ko ganahan nga ang duha mag-discriminate w/ each other. kay sa cebu raba, kataw-an ra ba ang mga ilonggo. unya kung ang mga bisaya mo-adto sa ilo-ilo or bacolod or negros occidental, mo disriminate raba sila og mga bisaya. Mahimuot baya ko kung either ilonggos or cebuanos mo-discriminate sa isa't-isa.
