(Don’t worry, this is not a trackback…)

It’s funny how people see me in this site, that “I’m a political afficionado” (didn’t even dig the phrase), or a “racist pig”. OK. I may find Americans a bit peculiar to me, but tell me, don’t Americans look at us the same way? So it’s not a racist thing. Racism calls for inability to be your own self (be it a business manager, an actor, or an artist) because of your skin color or “breed” (if you’re a pig), just like what Isaiah Washington was bitching about when he got fired by Grey’s Anatomy execs.

Neither am I “a political” afficionado. I even think myself as “apolitical”, considering that I don’t even read news about them (they’re like trying hard entertainment celebrities, ‘y know?).

Why is it nowadays that when you mention about race, or me being Filipino, or other guys being Chinese, they tend to overreact and not think within the context first before badmouthing? When you mention about a guy being Chinese or being Asian, or Mexican, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just defining who they are physically. Those guys who think maliciously about their own color are the ones who should be called racists. They tend to deny who they really are, instead of accepting what his culture / country has really given him. Marie Digby is proud to be of Japanese descent. The Chinese people should also be proud about “rice patties”. They are delicious!

With this post, am I getting political? Because in my opinion, being political is filling this entire blog with rantings how our country is being run (oh, I’d have lots of content if I did!). I just blog about culture an’ me-self. There are times when I can’t escape commenting about, I guess, Loren Legarda or Mar Roxas, but come on! I don’t think they’re THAT political.

(*Sigh*)

This is one of those BAM-BAM blog posts.
