This is a hate letter coming from a radio talk show host Mr. Art Bell from
Nevada . I don't consider myself as patriotic but please read my reply be
low in BOLD LETTERS and send this to as many of your
friends as possible until it reaches him.
This is an open letter email by Art Bell, a radio talk show host in Nevada (m
ore info in the email itself). Here is yet another person who has taken advan
tage of his power and priv ilege to use hateful words and racial stereotypes
that breed further ignorance and intolerance in our society.
Art Bell is a talk radio host who has two shows that he broadcasts from his
home in Nevada , that is rebroadcast by 400 stations across the country.
He's written 2 books... He lived in Okinawa , Japan for some years and had a
radio program on the English station in North America. And, though it's har
d to believe after reading the following letter from him, he actually has be
en to the Philippines (he's traveled fairly extensively around the world).
Check out his website listed at the end to get a who's spreading this hateful ig
norance. And letter is so degrading, I think it's really important that everybod
y read this and not attack him, but respond to him in a civilized manner because
otherwise his thoughts will be reaffirmed. Understand that not everyone has a v
iewpoint like we do, and that this is an opinion of someone who hopefully can be
changed only by civil actions. - ............ ......... ......... .......... .

Filipinos... ..*make me puke* (Art Bell)
As we've all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun to
infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive involvem
ent in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of qualities all Fil
ipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis.. You can see this clearly by study
ing the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino Americans.
Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:
Are they really Asian? Well we've come to accept the fact the Filipinos com
e from a part of the world known as South East Asia . But the term ' Asia '
is used in the wrong way. You may notice that contemporary Filipino Americ
ans try very hard to associ ate themselves with groups that we know as Asia
n. I cannot count the number of times I have seen a ' Third World ' Filipin
o try to connect themselves to the Chinese or Japanese people. There is no
connection and here's why. The Philippines is a Third World country. Nothin
g respectable has EVER been created by Filipino people during our entire hu
man history. Young Filipino men in America have become obsessed with 'impor
t racing'. They have an enormously perverted affection for Japanese cars. I
t's a common phenomenon. In their minds, these Filipinos somehow believe th
at they are Asian and that it somehow connects them to Japanese people and
Japanese cars. They often take credit for the ingenuity of Japanese people
and say how it's an 'Asian thing'. This term...'Asian thing' derived direct
ly from African American slang 'blackthang' . 'It's a black thang.' 'It's a
n asian thang.' You can see the connection. It's even funnier that, in Japa
n , Filipinos are heavily discriminated against. The only filipinos that ca
n live successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes. But that's the c
ase for most Filipino people no matter where they live in the world. Now we
've come down to this fact...and it is a fact.
Do the parents of these young filipinos know what's going on? Would they acc
ept this? I believe that they would and do. This is the natural 'Trash' elem
ent in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever come from Philipp
ines and I don't believe anything good ever will..
Your Identity is Filipino.... . That's all you are. Just Filipino. Think about wh
at that means....
Sincerely,
Art

Filipino says:
I find this funny, he is right in some ways where we, as Filipinos dont ac
tually have an 'Identity'. I think this is due to the confusion of our mix
ed races from Hispanic, Chinese, American and Malay origins. I see it in m
alls, imagine young generations wearing ski caps and ski goggles in a trop
ical country, baggy low rise pants like that of African Americans living i
n th e Bronx of New York, not to mention endless whitening products being
sold at department stores and drug stores. But his ignorance also blinds h
im from the other truth. That while we may glorify Anime shows and Japanes
e Internet gaming, he is not aware that a nameless Filipino may be respons
ible for some technical aspects of some Japanese software. He is not aware
of our contribution to the the society in general Technological advanceme
nts that may have aided post war navigations and landing on the moon. That
the antibiotic Erythromycin was discovered by Dr.. Abelardo Aguilar from
Iloilo creating the brand 'Ilosone'. Thomas Edison may have discovered the
electric light bulb and the fluorescent lighting was thought up by Nikola
Tesla. But the fluorescent lamp we use today was invented by Agapito Flor
es (a Cebuano named Benigno Flores of Bantayan Island , according to the P
hilippine Daily inquirer), a Filipino scientist. Americans helped then-Phi
lippine leader Ramon Magsaysay to develo p it for worldwide commerce.
That the personal physician of former U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton is Eleanor '
Connie' Concepcion Mariano, a Filipina doctor who was the youngest captain
in the US Navy. A Filipino writer Jose Rizal could read and write at age
2, and grew up to speak more than 20 languages, including Latin, Greek, Ge
rman, French and Chinese. Or that a Filipino genius was responsible for th
e near hiatus in the PENTAGON and White HOuse nearly infiltrating their cl
osely guarded secrets with the 'ILOVEYOU' bug. Nuisance maybe, but still o
ne heck of a 'beautiful mind'...not to be underestimated. The list goes on
and on, but who cares right? Certainly not Mr. Art Bell...Boy, I'm not su
rprised.. Perhaps Art Bell does not know that although we consider ourselv
es ASIAN because we are strategically located in the Southeast asian regio
n of which our nearest neighbors are Malays, ASIA does not mean only Chine
se and Japanese race of people. Then maybe it is his connotation that 'Asi
a' meant only our economically successful, paler brothers and he considers
Malays such as Thais, Malaysians, Indonesians, and ourselves as a ' Third
World ' race. Then it is 'his' ignonimity that would make a civilized per
son of whatever race puke. Imagine literally connecting Chinese, Koreans a
nd Japanese to the Philippine Islands which is archipelagos away from the
countries he has mentioned. I also wonder where he got the impression that
we aspire to be Japanese(??? ) Hispanics maybe but not the Japanese. But
even Hispanics today do not mind sharing their 'surnames' to their Asian b
rothers who they have colonized for 3 centuries.
Another sad reality that although most Filipinos working overseas are
domestic helpers and prostitutes, who does he think educates the tod
dlers of Hong Kong , Singapore , Taiwan and Tokyo ? Parents of these
countries rarely have time spent with their children, leaving them to
their Filipino nannies. And with regards to prostitution. Filipinos
are not the only ones working as one. I HARDLY SEE FILIPINOS STARRING
IN PORN MOVIES. THERE MIGHT BE A FEW FILIPINOS WE HAVEN'T SEEN
MOST ARE FROM MR. ART BELL'S RACE.
