Hi! It’s because the west has historically stolen from us since ever.

[evy @evyverse]

i wasn’t gonna jump on this bc people are being dense but the mockery is pissing me off. italians can react with outrage at every pasta bastardization but filipinos can’t react in any type of way about something native to us that we’ve been seeing get gentrified around the world?

"they're angry bc it's vegan"

no, our sorbetes is "vegan" because of necessity. for so long cow's milk was more expensive that coconut milk.

we are a tropical country. coconut/buko is everywhere. so much so you can buy a fresh 2 liters on the street for 2 dollars.

try again.

funnily enough a filipino chef *developed* the recipe for dubai chocolate

[dai * nyebe enthusiast @oneshinyapple]

What should have been a simple discussion about the origins of food has gotten ridiculously out of hand not because Filipinos felt slighted by the lack of acknowledgement but because westerners decided to escalate it to wholesale racism.

[u1 ☔ @yuansidol]

yes bc how are yall not listening to actual filipinos....

[xanyue. @gayxanx]

i went to the ice cream shop in town some weeks ago and boy would you like to know what they called ube ice cream flavor that they were advertising? japanese ube extract. JAPANESE not FILIPINO

[Hao || @Shaob1nz]

Ang bobo??? Filipino spaghetti was made when tomsto ketchup was barely available in the Philippines since tomatos we're expensive.

Y'all are dumb as fuck are the US in a crisis right now and did Jollibee claimed that they were bridging the euorpoean palette to the ph

[claud 🎭 @vamfia]

most foreigners who are jumping in on this ube craze aren't promoting shit. they are gentrifying it. the ph and filipinos are not benefitting from this. our farmers are still underpaid while our resources are being depleted. masyado niyong dinidefend ang mga kano.

[🍎🍓 (🐝) @ringoberii]

the westerners getting pissy and saying “well we won’t engage with your culture then” as if it’s a threat 😭

[pilep @heyitspholop]

Americans in this app are really out here saying Filipinos misinterpret English because we’re not native English speakers 🤡 We’re a former American colony and English is one of our official languages; we know exactly the colonial implications of the term “developed.”

[🪿 @greensurcolor]

it's not that deep to you because you're white of course

[aly! ଘ(*. .)੭ @theblessedbhie]

...interesting how this 💜 discourse exposed how many 🇺🇸 people still carry so much racism and ignorance toward nationalities they perceive as “non-English speaking.” somehow, this is the one thing they all unite over. culture vultures regardless of race lol !

[🧡💛 mmmmmmwah! 🤍💙 @antihibikase]

Westerners are always so "The PH is so beautiful! So hospitable! Cheap and affordable!" until Filos push back against gentrification, and then they're out here mocking us for our english, our illiteracy crisis, etc. Of course you only like us when we're of service to you!

[etiennethebiped.blu esky 🇵🇸 @EtienneTheBiped]

re: the ube discourse, this reveals how people outside the ph know virtually NOTHING about the Philippines besides lumpia adobo and beaches,,,, the number of times i’ve seen our english fluency downplayed, the lack of knowledge about our history and culture and even just
