I'm sure if a filipino person read this question, they'd get very offended. Please be considerate of others and don't post insignificant questions.

"a laugh"...i call it tasteless humor.

You Filipinos hate it when people stereo type you (all the women just want to marry a foreigner, all of the men hang out all day drinking Red Horse and don't work etc...), but you have no problem stereo typing others.

There are poor Europeans and Americans. Just because you rarely see them does not mean they do not exist.

We have homeless people, we have starving people, we have people who are "under employed" and cannot make ends meet from day to day. There are husbands who leave their wife n kids with nothing. Most Americans cannot afford to fly to the Philippines and take a vacation, the same as most Filipinos can't afford to fly to another country and take a vacation.

Here's another "News Flash" for you guys... All Europeans and Americans do not have pensions. Only about half of us do.What does the half do that do not have pensions? They live the same as most of you do.

So, what makes you think your race can survive better than another race can in difficult circumstances?

What makes you cry when it is your own people living in the streets with nothing to eat, but makes you laugh in delight when it happens to people on another continent?

How about poor;

Somalis

Haitians

Guatemalans

Cubans

Vietnamese

Indians

Koreans

Cambodians

Ethiopians

Nigerians

Albanians

Sudanese

Chinese

Banglas

Moroccans

Thais

Nepalese

Do you delight when their citizens are impoverished too?

I think you are one severely mentally disturbed individual, and your mind is sick.

none. Since both are deprive of their basics. The race is immaterial to their poor condition, if you are referring to a poor health, sanitation and other basic needs.

Quite right.   We, Filipinos, have this sense of humor.   Perhaps, those Europeans and Americans would find it difficult and acceptable, to be in dire straits.   We, Filipinos, tend to simply give it a laugh.

And do you know why?  Why, despite the many slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,  we remain with fortitude and would not even dignify what fate throws at us?   Because we have our girl, the Philippines behind us.   To give us sunshine, and fish, and fruits, and life!

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.

I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.

I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.

I guess you'd say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.

I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.

I've even got the month of May

The difference is that the poor American is well fed being that their government provide them food stamps while in the Philippines, the poor is poor in everything- poor health, poor living conditions, poor nutrition (malnourished) etc..

No difference at all - all of them have no money. Maybe you'd want to know how a poor European/American would look compared to a poor Filipino? Well, the former would look shabby, unwashed or unkempt (with unshaven face). The latter, even if he has no money in his shirt, would attempt to look dignified: clean crumpled shirt/pants, combed hair and an infectious toothless smile.

a poor american or european can go to the Philippines and live comfortably from his meager savings or pensions. The poor pinoy could hardly get a plane ticket to go to America or Europe.
