our deeply ingrained colorism has failed us. we had to brownface fair-skinned actors because we failed to recognize and train morenos and morenas who could have been great actors.
colonialism is still deep in our psyche.

There's a PR push to celebrate the new romance between Chelsea Handler and Filipino American comedian Jo Koy. But Handler has a history of being racist and using her dating life with men of color as a shield from facing repercussions—and Koy seems happy to let her do it again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Handler used this tactic in the Black community. Her response to backlash was to create content that talks around her racism without truly addressing it—and still profit from it. Ironically her "acknowledgement" of anti-Black racism is how I got exposed to her anti-Asian racism.
Tumblr media
In 2016's Chelsea Does Racism, Handler claims to be "egalitarian" with her jokes about race. But it’s clear she’s made choices on which groups to appear empathetic to and which groups she feels safe to dismiss with a laugh—such as Asian men. And she's unapologetic about it.
Tumblr media
Fast forward to Handler and Koy’s media tour touting themselves as a power couple. This matters because Jo Koy is currently being celebrated as major Fil-Am rep with his soon-to-be released studio film, Easter Sunday. Proudly pairing with an anti-Asian racist sends a message.
Tumblr media
Jo Koy was not only the most frequent guest on her past show over the years (meaning he knows who she is), but invited her to play a role in Easter Sunday. This serves to rehabilitate her image, bring her into Fil-Am/AsAm spaces and let her profit from it. Handler's recent IG video says it all: She wants a Kardashian empire, where Filipinos are swapped in for Black people as accessories to her whiteness. She's talking like a textbook sexpat yet repeatedly describes Filipinos and Black people as infiltrators.
Tumblr media
Jo Koy's decision to partner with Handler makes more sense knowing he's guilty of peddling anti-Asian stereotypes too. In one special, Koy publicly body shames his son—ignoring his pleas not to. This is the same special that got Steven Spielberg to greenlight Easter Sunday.
Tumblr media
You can guess the elevator pitch for Easter Sunday: "Think Crazy Rich Asians, but take out the rich so they're just crazy." White-mixed Asians like Jo Koy are granted more humanity than monoracial Fil-Ams due to the legacy of colonization, and Koy seems to be leaning into that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jo Koy is hardly the only example of an Asian with media power choosing whiteness over the AsAm community. Far more often, the pattern consists of white men partnered with Asian women (a legacy of racist U.S. policies like the Mixed Marriage Policy) For ex, AsAm Chloe Bennet—who's half-white like Jo Koy—proudly defended Logan Paul after he mocked and exploited a dead Japanese man. Yet Bennet is centered in campaigns about anti-Asian hate. Asians who hurt their community aren't punished by white Hollywood—they're rewarded.
Tumblr media
The legacy of the MMP is so strong that white men feel entitled to speak on Asian issues in AsAm spaces⁠—and Asians with media power let them. This causes severe harm, as seen by the erasure of AAPI men from hate crime data and narratives.  Back to the film Easter Sunday, there are no Fil-Ams credited on the creative team. I'm all for pan-Asian progress, but not at the expense of specific ethnic groups. It's the first studio film to center on a Filipino American family. This pattern of erasing Fil-Ams in AsAm spaces needs to stop too.
Overall, Easter Sunday is supposed to be a "first," but with so much racism embedded in its creation, I don't feel like celebrating. The idea of seeing either Jo Koy or Chelsea Handler on a red carpet for a major Fil-Am milestone is awful. It's a win for them—not us.

So TheFatRat's new song "Hunger" has given me an impact of our country and our people, which is the Philippines.
According to TheFatRat, he was shock to say that the poor children living the streets of Manila after doing a research had made him feel empathy and he says he has a friend out there helping out donating food and education, the most important part is because poverty is increasing and for crying out loud, the children tried to survive the harsh environment on Manila. I was crying to say that he mentioned it the capital city of Manila.
I love how he made this song not only for us, but the whole world. They must feel it and imagine how are you gonna survive in the dirty streets and homes in Manila due to the extreme changes of society.
Nevertheless, feel free to comment here and listen to the song!

XELA 🌱🦋 Moth Fairy Vtuber 💾 COMMS CLOSED (Xelafina on Twitter)
Some things not mentioned in the international news:
It's not OFFICIAL yet that bbm won, again; a lot of anomalies, machines breaking down at the day of the elections, votebuying, shooting, military threats etc. while there's zero transparency on where the votes were coming from
Most Filipinos did not willingly vote for another Marcos, this is a result of a decade long campaign to clean up the family's name from any atrocities while spreading propaganda AND hiring paid Trolls to reinforce their own narrative.

(replying to Xela)
tfw international news outlets don't care because they'd rather focus on crap that gets them more clicks + encourage people to be racist and look down on the philippines for being "dumb" like they do with every other country that isn't theirs, than they would fact checking
This is exactly why I need you to listen to us, especially when we are the ones personally telling you what is happening here in the Philippines.

🚨 HOMOPHOBIA/LESBOPHOBIA 🚨
Filipino meme culture is lesbophobic especially on a platform like Facebook. I was just mindlessly scrolling through my news feed when I saw one of the moids I went to high school with posted this with the caption “HAHAHA”. The video, as you can see in the attached screenshot, is entitled “napkin reveal mp4.” and the guy who’s recording was mocking the lesbian (i purposefully censored her face) by saying “napkin reveal”. It’s disturbing and disgusting how they do not see lesbians as real women. Do these dimwitted creatures think lesbians magically stop menstruating or just stop being a woman just because of her sexual orientation? I was also disgusted by the number of shares this video has. Gross.
P.S. the audacity of the moid to show his hideous face while mocking a lesbian. #KAM
