Have you encountered racist acts towards other nationalities particularly black people?
Here's an interesting article from PhilStar entitled "Are Filipinos racist?" by Patrick Lacson.

"CNN ran a story about Amerasians in the Philippines, and spoke of a man who couldn’t get a job at a supermarket because he’s black"

Please share you experiences and opinions about racism in this country.

Know it or not, we are all vessels of racial bias. Racist not specifically towards black people but other nationalities. But if it pertains to black or "n" word, I'm not pretty sure we are especially these age. Ive met white Americans especially from the south, you can sense their tone and the way they talk when talking about black Americans or yet other nationalities. But we are not like them. (at least)
Some of us also may be a racist maybe because of the influence of media especially in the Philippines and mostly in the Philippines we are fans of Hollywood movies where we see certain movies and/or news of "blacks" and "whites"
I guess its only because of our common association of the color. Primed prejudice as they say. Semantic co-occurrence to what we see symbolically and logically.
