Coquette girlies parading physiognomy and skull measuring and calling people inferior based off of idk how aqualine their noses are isn't surprising at all but just so everyone knows, if you're the type of person who boldly writes anyone off as inferior (using specifically that word) simply because you don't like them or something I already hate you and think you're a horrible person because every person I've seen or come into contact with who proclaims people/someone they don't like as inferior to them has always been a creepy asshole

what the heck??? my family lives in central asia, it's so frustrating, we are just beginning to undo all the tight knots russia left behind on us. you have control of the gas we use and we are economically dependent on youβ€”is that not enough?

why even bother trying to govern new land when you can't even govern your own properly? when you can't even allocate resources across your almost pluto-sized country?

This is the funniest shit I've seen in a while in this fandom LMAO more death threats over ships. This person literally ships rochu which is also ~problematic~ but thinks they have some sort of high ground to send death threats over other ships which are just as problematic.

Anyways block and don't engage (don't send anon hate or threats) because anyone who sends death threats over ships and dedicates whole accounts to it are people you clearly do not want to engage with.

I just find it crazy how like OK I was researching the Richard Speck massacre case (man who killed 8 student nurses) because it was talked about in my book about Filipino nurses. I found this website which was like... A virtual cemetery (to commemorate the dead online) and I thought oh cute, and before I clicked the link, it said as a description like. "Virtual graves for the 8 nurses killed by Richard Speck".

I go onto the site and there's only 6 nurses. They ommitted the 2 Filipino nurse victims.

Something something, this reminds me of how a lot of American true crime channels revolve around missing or murdered white women when a majority of missing or murdered women in the US are indigenous/native. But you don't see true crime channels talking about any of them do you lol.

A really good video I watched a while back about this phenomena.

Notes on Empire of Care by Catherine Ceniza Choy

Image

  • The scapegoating of Filipino nurse immigrants: Filipina Narciso and Lenora Perez are examples of two nurses who were scapegoated.
  • Filipino nurses with temporary work visas, H-1 visas, were exploited
  • Mass murder cases involving Filipino nurses included the 1996 Richard Speck massacre. Some of his victims were Filipino nurses and the only survivor was one of these Filipino nurses
The only survivor - Luisa Silverio
The victims
  • The 1975 Veterans administration hospital murders that happened in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and involved the previously mentioned nurses Narciso and Perez, bering initially convicted and then later acquitted. They were accused of poisoning and conspiracy
  • These cases reflect how US imperialism shaped the treatment that was levelled at Filipino nurses
  • During the late 1970s, Filipino nurse organisations emerged in order to combat the exploitation and discrimination that Filipino nurses faced
  • There is still a huge gap in the study of Filipino Americans. Quoted from Sucheng Chan's essay on Asian American historiography
  • "Despite the steady progress in Asian American historical scholarship, significant gaps remain. The most glaring is the absence of book-length studies on Filipino Americans"
  • American imperialism still shapes the way in which Filipinos - especially Filipino women are perceived
  • Jesse Ventura, an American politician in his autobiography "I ain't got no time to bleed" reminisces on his days as a Navy Seal stationed in the Philippines.
  • He talks about being young with a large libido, and how the abundance of Filipino women for him and his comrades to take home relieved that.
  • He spoke of going through less hurdles when he came to getting a Filipina to sleep with him compared to American women back home. In other words - Filipinas were easy.
  • This is a reflection of how US imperialism has shaped how the Philippines is viewed.
  • Filipino women are used in order to portray the Philippines as a feminised, hypersexual, always-willing paradise for the pleasure of Western men.
  • This depiction of so called "love" between Filipinos and Americans erases the long history of US violence, US domination, the colonial relationship between the US and the Philippines and the history of sexual violence perpetuated against Filipino women. Not to mention the destruction of the environment and spread of disease
Image
  • US military presence in the Philippines also helped in influencing migration patterns.
  • By 1970, there were more Filipino men in the US navy than the Philippine navy. This was due to the active recruitment of Filipino men into the US military
  • Yet another example of how the US imperialist narrative erases truths about history and the lived experiences of Filipinos:
  • Filipino American organisations had to convince Minnesota legislature to correct a plaque commemorating the Spanish-American war.
  • The plaque stated that it was honouring the fact that the war was fought to free the Philippines from the tyrannical Spanish
  • This is unequivocally untrue and rings back to the concepts of American exceptionalism - The US being far more "benevolent" to it's colonies than their European counterparts.
  • The war was fought in order to defeat the Spanish - not to liberate the Philippines.
  • The Philippines then fought against the US for independence thereafter
  • America's so called "forgetfulness" when it comes to Filipino-American history continues to hurt Filipinos.
  • In particular, Filipino American war Veterans who struggle to fight for their access to veterans benefits.
