Here's a thought from my friends' friend on what he felt about the Philippine Hostage Tragedy.
In statistics, 1 out of a million is insignificant. We DON'T deserve to be insulted by all. We never insulted a race despite the fact that many Pinoys come home everyday DEAD! after being RAPED, HARASSED, KIDNAPPED, MALTREATED, MURDERED, MOCKED and others by other races... THEY don't have the right to tell us who we are. I condemn violence, but I CONDEMN MORE RACISM!When we do good things, no one really cares. When we commit mistakes, everyone and everything reacts. I Challenge the nations to look into their sides of the fence first before defining who we are in their perspectives. Being called the "Worst nation/country" in its generalized sense is a form of racism. I'm proud of my blood and I'm proud of my race. And hearing Filipinos condemning our own country is even more depressing. They could have asked themselves first of what they have done and contributed to make this nation a better place, before they even bother ranting about the things they don't want but they are experiencing. And as if this kind of event, i.e. hostage taking, police taking out of control, is not happening somewhere else in the world. They are judging us AS IF WE ARE REALLY THE WORST NATION AND THE WORST PEOPLE on earth... If we are the STANDARD OF BEING THE WORST then what would you call those nations who are putting forward WAR killing more and more people at the expense of the less powerful nations? Why not condemn those nations monopolizing the market and world politics leading to the aggravation of conditions of poverty and unequal distribution of wealth? Why not condemn those nations that produce the highest amount of greenhouse gases which leads to global warming affecting EACH AND EVERY organism living in the surface of the planet? They are putting us on the spotlight because in reality they envy us AS A PEOPLE, as a NATION, as a RACE. We have undergone so much hardships and trials, but we made through it as one. They envy us because in whatever conditions they put us in, We still make it to stand on our own and be proud that we are Filipinos. They envy us because even if we are geographically separated, we can call our nation PILIPINAS and us the people as MGA PILIPINO. If their sense of judgement is being based on a single act, I PITY THEM. It just suggests how little part of their brain is working. Because we are living an ever changing world and everything in another time will be changed. If this is their standard to exhibit RACISM, I PITY them, because in one time or another, they are the ones who bill mocked, judged and insulted. Its Nature's Law that Each and every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And I pray and hope that they wont experience the kind of RACISM we are experiencing now, because if they will.. Nature will have its way to make it worse than a hundred fold.

exactly...usually people who claim they are racially discriminated against are racist themselves. It is a perception. I see a lot of irony and oxymoron in your claims which shouldn't have been overlooked in such an argumentative context like this. Stand back for a minute so you can see the picture more clearly than your first impression...
