      Good for you dark skin was the first and only skin complexion for a long time on earth remember it’s an inferiority complex if societies put you down for because you are not light which let’s be real is you don’t have white skin. If you are light that does not end the racism you can experience yet people go to the beech sun bathe spend lots of money on sun beds to have darker skin but still are racist to black skin because they feel inferior, so they project there feelings of inferiority and jealousy onto you so they feel temporarily less insecure.

    Historically speaking pre-colonial Filipinos, excluding the Aetas, have always prefered lighter and fairer skin, the Binukot is an example. As for why they prefered said skin tone, the very same reason with the Europeans, the Chinese, the Japanese and the rest of Southeast Asia, to destinguish the nobles and elites from commoners. The racism part came later on.

      Not really. Lapu Lapu and his clansmen have been described as darker than a fair skin Malayan by one of Magellan's captains. In fact if we use the Malayan Magellan brought to the Philippines then Lapu Lapu (who's real name is still unknown since Pigafetta was writing what it sounds like) would be brown skin.
      In modern historians agree that Lapulapu real name might be Pulapu

    the real Filipinos Are the "Indios" or the "dark skinned" The term "Filipino" are used as to distinguish Spanish people born in the Philippine Isles and was only used recently in the commonwealth period to call both the indios and of kastila heritage.
    personally, I find the darkness of our skin as something more desirable than becoming white. the darkness is proof of hard work and dedication and perseverance.
    just keep in mind that the media are showing us fantasy and not reality.

    • @maq4711
      @maq4711 3 роки тому

      The real, dark Filipinos are no longer "Indios", because "Indios" are now defined by Philippine society as pale complexion, not dark complexion. A dark complexion means Aeta. Even if Filipinos are not tribal, darkness = Aeta. Even if many Filipinos are brown in the U.S., these Filipinos are not brown in the Philippines, but are black.

      Indio was a racial slur used by the Spaniards to dark skinned people. It literally means "Indian" also, this term came later on in the Philippines, the native Americans were the first one to be labelled by this after they were mistaken as Indians due to their skin.

    pag sinabi namin na "ayaw namin ng maitim na kutis" HINDI ibig sabihin nun ay anti-black american/anti-african kami. ang ayaw namin ay maitim na balat dahil nga sa libag, dead skin at iba pang dumi sa katawan dahil maalikabok at mainit dito sa pinas.
    wag nyo rin sabihin na ang pagpapaputi ay isang social status. wag kayo matapobre. nagpapaputi kami ng balat dahil nangangahulugan un ng magandang kalusugan ng balat. uullitin ko, pag sinabi namin na gusto naming magpaputi ng balat ang ibig sabihin nun ay fairer skin hindi caucasian skin.

The Spaniards saw the Filipinos as 'indios', seeing themselves as of higher social standing than the natives. In the process of colonization, the Spaniards harmed and committed several acts of violence against Filipino women”
      “With the Spaniards taking control of all aspects of Philippine society, the identity of the Filipino woman as a woman of strength and power was soon forgotten.

    Regardles of skin color, we should not let it be the complete definition of what makes someone Filipino. There are Filipinoes who are lighter skin than the Filipinoes who live in other countries, but culture wise they are more Filipino since they keep their culture in tact.

Our issue is mostly about colorism but you don't see any dark-skinned Filipino getting murdered or arrested because of their skin color unlike in America. Honestly, Filipinos should wake up and start thinking that the world doesn't revolve around America only.

    Honestly, I thought racism against black or darker skinned people didnt exist here in the Philippines because I never noticed someone get ridiculed and looked down for being black; darker colored people are cool and friendly, same with people with any other color. However, the video did make me realize that people do subtly ridicule dark skinned people especially in the beauty industry. We do sometimes joke that our darker colored friend blends in with the dark, but at the end of the day we just had friendly banter and we see him as a very cool friend and he does sometimes initiates the joke.

    He wasn’t homesick. Young Fagen decided to join the Filipino revolutionaries and quickly took up arms against his former countrymen. In time, he became a guerrilla leader of such renown that his Filipino fighters called him “General Fagen.”Fagen enjoyed a good time. He was a master of stud poker, having regularly relieved his fellow soldiers of several hundred dollars on payday. He was fond of carousals, played the guitar, and lived in the camp with his Filipino wife. He was “often amusing” and voluble, supremely confident, and a natural leader. Fagen even inspired mystery, and controversy, in matters of death. With a reward on his head, he retreated to the desolate Pacific coast. In December 1901, a Filipino hunting party brought in a moldering head and Fagen’s effects, claiming they had killed the renegade.The army announced Fagen’s death and hundreds of newspapers covered the story. Only the English-language Manila American made a mockery of the Army’s account of Fagen’s killing, but that story went unreported in America and was entirely overlooked until I recently discovered it. In the end, Fagen was not a central military player in the war; the region where he fought was of secondary importance in terms of the larger struggle. But he is important as an African-American who took up arms against a country racist to the core and bent on empire at the expense of a dark-skinned people. As a revolutionary officer and later as a bandit leader, Fagen confounded the American whites. He not only challenged their supremacist assumptions; he also mocked them, defiant in the face of the noose and the burning stake. Take care and God bless take care and God bless take care and God blessing the English-language Manila American made a mockery of the Army’s account of Fagen’s killing, but that story went unreported in America and was entirely overlooked until I recently discovered it.

      Marpessa Dawn. Before; Beveryly Johnson, Halle Berry, Rhinna, Beyonce, there was Marpessa Dawn. Filipino father and black mother.
      Filipino men were marrying black woman went it was against the law. In the early 1900’s Filipino men accounted for over half of the interracial marriages. Black people even took Filipino men to court to prevent such marriages.

    I am half white & half filipino and i have noticed so many times how whitewashed most filipinos are, it all comes from the spanish & american colonization there was for centuries a culture where lighter skinned people were more favored than their darker brothers & sisters. .. It's very sad because this brainwashed whitewash mentality still exists to this day. I live in Europe where the majority is white, and almost everyone recognizes my long dark hair, my tan skin & full lips. i was always called an indian "Native-American" or simply the indigenous of the thoroughbred or fullblooded europeans here. But the nice thing about it is that here in Europe this is seen as beautiful & interesting, in contrast to the Philippines or Latin American countries, that's how i experience it myself in life. I still often have this tedious problem when I see Filipino relatives, but especially my own mother, who always says I shouldn't be outside in the sun for so long in the summer, because she thought that my skin would be too dark, and then that people here in europe will be racist to me, and then she always says that the more successful people are always the light skinned ones... Really sad how this brainwashing destroys our true pride & identity... I am proud of my filipino indigenous roots, and to all indigenous ethnic groups & tribes of the philippines' Igorot / Aeta / Negrito / Lumad / etc. and also to our cousins ​​overseas the Native americans from north to south & the pacific islanders. But of course I am also very proud of my Celtic & Germanic roots hell yeah. Don't let it get you down, be 💯% proud of what you are.

    Sooooo. First.. the territory we call today known as Philippines is divided into 3 large territories called Luzon , visayas and mindinaoe. The Spaniards only conquered Luzon which is where Manila became a place. The visayas and mindinaoe are UNCONQUERED BY ANY OUTSIDE RACE OR NATION. Just ask the Italians and Spaniards who tried like ferniand megellan. Ohh wait you can’t because they lost the war and died to the visayan tribes who are Pacific Islanders. Luzon the north island and home to tribes with indigenous blood and Asian race mixing aka Tagalog tribes were defeated in war. Tagalog got conquered. Also the first people of the territory known as the Philippines were AFRICAN as scientists Will confirm black people were there first and other groups like austronesians came and bred with the Africans and then you have a new race of brown indigenous people.

Would it be funny if I made fun of people in the Philippines being poor and not having proper education? I'm sure they'd take great offense to that. Those things can be changed. The color of a person's skin can't.

    My Fililpino mom hated it so much when I teased her on having a flat nose. But she's also the same person that ridicules my dark skin and taught me the idea of beauty, "light skin, tall nose, etc." I'm a grown-up now, I don't do that anymore. But still, why get offended to a 6 year old when she was the one teaching me that mindset in the first place?
