A Call to Boycott Desperate Housewives? No Thanks.
Posted by pinoyblogero on October 3, 2007 · 2 Comments
Most of you may have already heard or read the latest issue in the Pinoy blogging community today which revolves around a particular TV show, called Desperate Housewives, when one of its characters exclaimed a seemingly insulting racial remark against Filipino medical practitioners.
Hatcher’s character actually said this : “Okay, before going further, can I check these diplomas cause I would just like to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.” Source
To those who are not aware of the said issue, you can check out the whole story and watch the video clip at the Mindy-TV Blog.
If ever there is one thing that Pinoys don’t like, it would be others trampling and insulting the Filipino race.
As expected, a lot of Filipinos were affected and angered by the said statement. Blog posts of dismay and hatred raged throughout the blogosphere, discussions transpired on comment pages, and copies of the video clip shot through e-mails. With this big of a ruckus, it almost seems like hell is going to break loose.
But such reactions are only normal especially in a community where everybody wants their voices to be heard on a controversial issue. The only thing that seemed out of place were the calls to boycott the show.
Boycott? Now where did I heard that term before?
