[...] love to be part of the herd (pasawsaw). I came across this post made by Joseph Dent in the excellent Indolent Indio that explains the matter to the mangmangs (ignorant) who need to be reeducated in Efren [...]

Well I’m not very patriotic, but I know an insult when I hear one.

Haha I just had to comment here…humour is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but this Chip guy from what I gather is a guy that is not trying to convey a racist point at all…such blatant sarcasm is clearly everywhere. Clearly stereotypes are used in humour, and I think if a Filipino had written this then all you narrow minded readers would be laughing your head off and giving him endless kudos.

No, Beverly Yao, you keep it up. Misplaced nationalism is still nationalism, and that can be put to good use. Best of luck to you.

I can’t imagine a fake patriotism. I might assume a minute patriotism, but a fake one~??.. snapped the nerves out of me. Perhaps, patriotism that’s gone out of place?

But more importantly, you’re RIGHT. It had been satire. How I found this site again is way beyond me. Ever since, I have thought that what I had typed before were not uploaded.

To make the very least of an effort, let me say that

You’re RIGHT — You’re RIGHT — You’re RIGHT.

Anyways, with all due respect — KEEP IT UP!!

Well, I suppose it is possible that he built his entire article around that line. He must have gotten up that day thinking, “My God, I hate Filipinos so much. They are a nation of servants! I shall purposely defame them on the magazine I write for. Right after I beat the shit out of my maid.”

Comedy is indeed about wit and nuance, and surely, Chip Tsao’s article was more artfully done, and more nuanced than Michael Richards’ rant against blacks? Especially since Richards pretty much just broke down from the heckling that led to the outburst.

What am I ?
I\’m a Filipino with a better taste in humour.
That\’s who I am.

And I think Chip Tsao stinks.

His article would have been alright, had he only managed to keep his racist contempt to himself. And I say this with utter objectivity. Instead, his stuff was practically all over the place, obscuring any sort of intended punchline it might have had. The ensuing crowd reception was sign as to how \’ successful \’ he was in his attempt at comedy.

Problem is, when he went said \’ slave dare not question the master \’, I think he meant every single goddamn word – & THAT\’S what it\’s only all about. Now, that depends on
how much you\’re gonna take that outright abuse, but if it\’s the stuff you choose to live with, then I\’m sorry, you\’re a bastard. You don\’t deserve to eat in a table besides actual human being

Humour has never been an \’ endurance test \’.
It\’s about wit, and nuance, and Tsao simply lacks those skills. Being a son-of-a-bitch, capitalist tool that he is.

His closest contemporary is Michael Richards. THAT level of fail.

P.S. Maybe we Filipinos should stop selling our people like cattle to the world, so they wouldn\’t mock us too much.

I truly enjoyed reading your posts. I had almost the same perception of Chip Tsao\\\’s article. I thought that his audience were the Chinese and that he was being satirical – attacking Chinese hypocrisy. I\\\’m not pretty sure if it was written well or not though.

There is one thing I need to ask. No offense to Miss Beverly Yao, but I’m not sure I understand her post. Maybe somebody could clarify.All I could be sure of is that she was angry when she wrote it.
Who was she raising her voice at? Did she tell you, OneTamad, to speak for yourself? Or did she say that to everyone else who posted?
Was she upset with Chip?
And I kinda got lost on the ticket thing, too.

EGO or AMOR PROPIO is common in SPANISH-CONQUERED countries.

\"Pag-binato ka ng itlog, batuhin mo pabalik ng bato\".

However, there are cultures in this world na HUMBLE, DEEP THINKING & RESOLVE (meaning DETERMINED to fix the real problem).

With AMOR PROPIO & NINGAS KUGON, Filipinos are not one of those cultures.
