Filipinos from a White Man's Point of View

I am saddened by how people from other countries view Filipinos.. I honestly believe that it is not their fault that they generalize and think low of Filipinos because isn't it true? Isn't it true that even us Filipinos fall victims to our own countryman, we fall victim to their cunningness, greediness, and cleverness... Its sad how instead of working hard to get somewhere, some if not most of our countryman now go for the "easy way", they would rather steal and fool people to earn money rather than sweating it out..

But! Not all Filipinos have succumbed to the easy way.. And so, I still think that it is still wrong to generalize but we also need to do something about it, since people can never help but generalize... We need to start working from the Filipinos view! Foreigner's opinions of Filipinos may hurt, especially since it is partly true but are we just going to sit back and listen to all the bad things they have to say about us?

I am not saying that we fight back and start telling them everything thats wrong with their countries.. But instead we should strive to clean up the image of Filipinos in the International community since that is the only way out of this mess we are in..
