   My wife is filipina and I asked her about this and she said “huh?” It was beyond her to consider political opinions the basis of whether one is a true pinay or not. Maybe Lelani is mad because she didn’t win a prize on Wow Wow Wee! My wife’s hero is Mother Teresa, one of those white women working with those “brown” people. Didn’t seen to bother her.

   Free Speech Radio? Obviously for liberals only. When they fear you, you’re doing a great job, Michelle!

   Michelle: It’s ingrained in the culture. I recall as a high school teacher assigned the “ELD” class (English language development) in California, using one of your columns as a reading assignment. The column dealt with illegal immigration.

   Most of the students in the class were Latino (actually, ALL of the students save one were Latino), and I asked them to respond to the article (from which I’d removed your photo) and write a retort to the author.

   Every student in the class–except for the one student who was Chinese–berated you for being racist, ethnocentric, etc., and some even called for your head.

   When I showed them your picture and your bio, they couldn’t believe you were “like them.” They automatically had assumed your were white and “a bigot.” When they learned your heritage was filipina, they were dumbfounded.

   The next lesson we had dealt with preconceived notions of race and ideology.

   By the way, the curriculum provided me with latitude to expose the students to language in any way I saw fit. In other words, ELD classes were a time-waster because the district wouldn’t put these kids into regular academic classes, since they “didn’t know enough English.”

   Disservice.

   Yup. And we on the right are horrifying racists who want to repress the minorities and keep them in their places, only throwing a token scrap their way when they’ve performed a neat trick.

   Do these people understand the definition of the word “hypocrisy”?

   OH! MY! GOD! I just remembered…MY DAUGHTERS are 25% FILIPINO!!!

   What does this mean for them? They can’t stand hippies, hate Liberals, and actually listen to what I say! Does this mean I need to switch parties too? Should I give them up for adoption?

   Help me!! I know not what I have done!!

   If I was Albano… I wouldn’t be talking. LA is far from the model of racial harmony. Maybe the liberals should stop preaching to other people and start fixing the problems in their own backyard.

    The problem with Leilani is this , she had spent more time being with people who had the same ideology and the same mindset that in her arrogance , she had forgotten that there are a lot of Filipinos who does not share her worldview at all like me , like Michelle , like my colleagues in the hospital and other Filipinos world wide . And btw , Leilani . There are Filipinos and there are Filipinos and from the look of things , you belong to the former rather than the latter .

    I’ll be damned. I was not aware that you have a lot of Filipino readers which I can surmise are mostly living in the US of America.

    This Lailanie Albano – all I can say is you are a national embarrassment of Filipinos.

    This albino chick…er, Albano…earned a bachelor’s degree in…Asian American Studies.

    In other words, (a) her degree is as useless as boobs on a boar; and (b) she needed a bunch of college professors to tell her what it means to be of Asian descent…what, she wasn’t smart enough to know who she was?

    Oh, I just noticed this nugget from Albano’s employer, FSRN:

    The financially-strapped Pacifica Foundation has cut its funding to FSRN by more than $13,100 a month. This is a devastating blow. We could soon be off the air without your help.

    Now I see why she hates Ms. Malkin so much. Ms. Malkin has managed to succeed in today’s media, while Leilani has failed miserably. Leilani is about to be unemployed, while Michelle makes a nice living providing a service that people enjoy.

    According to Leilani’s “logic” (and I use that word loosely), being a “real” Asian must mean…being a total loser. Needless to say, I disagree.
