Filipino-Americans have the audacity to start a campaign on using Filipinx and Pinxy when they were all QUIET about the anti terror law, about activists being killed, about pride protestors being jailed, about writers and artists being jailed, about students being red tagged.
Filipino-Americans can start talking when they start addressing how human rights in the Philippines is literally being torn to pieces.
Filipino-Americans can sit their privileged white washed asses down for this one. All they know is make lumpia jokes when they don't even eat lumpia.
Did you all even care when Echanis was murdered? When Alvarez was murdered? When Pride 20 were illegally arrested? When the military entered the UP campus when it's explicitly stated that they can't? When UP students were arrested for simply being against the government?
Did you all care when terrorists invaded Mindanao? When they were blowing up Quiapo? No you didn't. You all said nothing.
What about when one of the biggest news channels was taken off air becaus the president had a grudge? Or when Maria Ressa was arrested because she simply criticized the government? You didn't care but now you have the audacity to argue with us on OUR language and OUR nationality?
Do Filipino-Americans even know who the Lumads are? And that's concerning. If you don't even know what hardships our indigenous people are going through and the abuse the government has given them, you have no right to speak about what a Filipino is. https://twitter.com/ChannieHyunee/status/1302181718405906432?s=19
@ Filipino-Americans:
Don't give me that "well the word Filipinaโ€”" no one uses Filipina any more. We use Filipino. I, a cis female who uses she/her pronouns introduce myself as a FilipinO.
Y'all say "Filipinos back home don't do enough activism" with your whole chest. We're risking our lives and safety by protesting and criticizing the government and you have the audacity to say we're not doing enough while you're living in another country?
STOP TRYING TO WHITE WASH AND WESTERNIZE OUR COUNTRY!!! FUCK WHITE PEOPE!!!

Can you point out to me where the X is?
