Blatant Racist!
I was browsing QL classifieds, and chanced upon this ad:
*** ROOM AVAILABLE with Immediate effect.
*** 1 Month deposit is required (REFUNDABLE).
***** PREFER NATIONALITY – ANY ONE EXCEPT FILIPINOS
***** Please Contact – !$%!$^&% *****
--------------------
Anyone EXCEPT FILIPINOS?! Let yourself be heard!
Note to the moderator: Is it not time to make some anti-racism guidelines in this site? We breathe the same air, for crying out loud!
azilana - yeah, the point clearly cited there...
lest make friends not war!!!
This person may have had a bad experience and this has coloured their judgement. That can happen to us all.

Man makes plans...............God smiles ;-)
Giving the ad poster the benefit of the doubt, MAYBE:
- He/She is trying to be save any Filipinos from calling to inquire and saving the trouble of rejecting them.
- As the would-be lessor/landlord, he/she has the right to choose/prefer what nationality he/she wants to live with.
If you noticed, most of the ads for rooms and/or bedspacers are by Filipinos preferring fellow filipinos.
Other nationalities resent that too. That also created a few heated discussion here in QL more often that not.
Let's try not to be ALWAYS on the defensive side. As if we(Filipinos) are ALWAYS demeaned by others.'...coz we're not...we just think we are...

fluck..me either! If someone doesn't smell decently, I don't want to suck his blood!
Starving here in Doha!
Lucky with ..filipinos!
Yummy and good smelling! :-)

If someone doesn't smell decently, I don't want to live with them :-)

dracula, let's agree on PREJUDICES then...
"racism" oozing with contempt..
God gives us relatives, thank God we can choose our friends...and flatmate as well...

"A prejudice is an implicitly held belief, often about a group of people. Race, economic class, gender or sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and religion are other common subjects of prejudice. It can be used to characterize beliefs about other things as well, including "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence."
.

ok NOT RACIST...
is "with PREJUDICES" accepted then?
where's OM MAUI?? DUH
You can't teach experience...
.
.
"The term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or NATIONAL OR ETHNIC ORIGIN which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life."

LOLS PM and TATAY...
no debate in those statements.
hhmm PM, that's new... bathing is cultural...
a sweaty pinoy comes in sick...
BLIMEY! he still smells good and yummy after hours of toiling under the sun!!!
I couldn't live with anyone who isn't clean and smelling decently. It is funny how these habits can be cultural and I admit I probably couldn't live with people from cultures where bathing habits or laundry habits are so different from mine. Give me a Filipina housemate ANYDAY :-)
lol
I refuse to drink the kool-aid! -- PM
maybe this available room has a free water and electricity....we filipino dont like to go to work without taking a bath..........
om MAUI,
inhaaale, exhaaale...
maybe they had filipino flatmates but eventually left
as our kabayans CANNOT tolerate, their "stuff",
so kabayans always leave and they end up paying the rent by themselves..
right on PM.
DIFFERENT STROKES, FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
it's not a racism..
to live with people who are culturally compatible. It still is not nice, but I think it's quite common when selecting a housemate. They are probably thinking of cooking habits, lifestyle issues and similar attitudes towards housekeeping -- although I personally find Filipinas very compatible with me in those areas.

"oh shit"
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite
To all the racist, ROBERT F. KENNEDY once told:
But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the colored people as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?
As always , your point is valid...
.
.
no excuses for RACISM!
.
.
I think there is a difference between the two adverts..
The posting is tending on racism, whereas the listings from drac are preferences.
OK, in a perfect society this should not happen, but when you're sharing in close quarters , then perhaps you want to stick with "your kind"
drac, what you posted is different from the topic, accomodation-filipino only means all living in that villa are all filipino's that's why they are looking for a filipino to fill in the vacancy also but in the topic, it is saying that everyone is welcome except filipino. this guy who posted the sdvertisement has something against filipinos
well said drac...
half of it is just on todays advert...
am i right Big D???

wanted a cave mate full of blood and any blood group
man or woman or mixture are welcome.
wow that was a bloody long list Drac hehehe... IMHO, people who put up ads have the right to choose or put whatever they want to appear in their ads.. i read it in GT all the time, different ads with different preferences as to the nationality.. so what to do, it's their preference..
