Chip Tsao of Hong Kong magazine says his piece is "satirical" and that he didn't mean to insult Filipinos. Satirical, my foot.
His assumptions are just plain wrong: (1) If you're a servant, then in general you're at the lower end of the food chain-- you can't complain, you can't voice out your opinion, and you can't negotiate, for crying out loud, all you can do is nod your head and obey; (2) that a nation of "servants" like ours should act accordingly, take a servile attitude and allow ourselves to be kicked in the butt when dealing with powerful nations like China.
He tries to redeem himself by saying that he likes our democracy and he wants to visit Fort McKinley. Fort McKinley! What a joke! That's Fort Bonifacio for you...if only we're still in the seventies! It only goes to show how puny his brain is.
I think he's lying. And he's only apologizing to save his sorry ass. Deep inside, I think he remains a racist.
