Flip isn't racist. The DMV wouldn't allow racial slurs on license plates (how many of y'all remember the "FLIP X" Honda Accord back in the day?)
Flip – used to refer to American-born Filipinos. The term has vague origins with many hypotheses regarding its origin. It is suggested that the term originates from the World War II era. The term was allegedly an acronym for "fucking little island people" causing some Filipinos to avoid referring to themselves by this term. However, the term is also being reclaimed by some by changing the alleged originally meaning of the word to "fine looking island people". Some are convinced that the term is just a short version of the term "Filipino".[40] Just like the a version of the N word....
Check your shoes, bud...just dont sniff too hard. El Prez trolled like a pro See, you do not have the franchise on mistreated minority, As far as telling, bud you have no idea. I have a large multi racial family that includes Spanish, Hispanic, Filipino, Indian, Black and White.
Okay, for starters, the term came into use after the US took The Philippine Islands from Spain, an outcome of the Spanish American war. The Filipinos decided that they no longer need a protectorate status, and we got into a real war from 1899 to 1902. Originally the term Flip was used by troops to dehumanize those we were at war with. This has historically been a common practice, Germans have been Huns, Jerrys, Krauts ect, Japanese was shortened to Japs..you get the drift. Until WW2, There was not a lot of love towards America, post WW2 we were better than the Japanese but not by much with the exception of troops that had served with US forces. The Philippines gained independence in 1946. There was a generation that was pro American but the longer we had big military bases and influence in local politics that rapidly faded. A lot of the kids that grew up in the 70s, 80 and 90s were a mixed bag. They enjoyed the American lifestyle yet retained the close family unit structure. So that brings us to the kids that grew up in the 90s post Subic bay Clark Airfield closure, or the children of those families that have immigrated to the states. Close nit very family orientated and respectful of their elders. Scholastically advanced. While I have never heard anyone my age use the term, I have heard the kids use it. Pity the kid whose mother caught wind of it.
For us 90s cats, it was like a a cool (hype) term. Flip was an identity. We were flips. We had crews. We rocked Cross Colours and shit like that.
Yeah, I can see that, the whole identity thing. Counter curvature hard cores. Bet your mother loved that lol.
You know what fuck this shit. You're not gonna turn this on me because you wanna defend your racist president. He said yet ANOTHER racist thing and cats in here wanna act like he's not. Wash, rinse, repeat.
That's EXACTLY what I've said. Old black people for the most part hate the a version of the N word (cept' my grandmother who often used it). Just like old school Filipinos don't like the F word. What did the new school cats do? Turn the word on its head and make a pejorative into a positive. Now, your president used it in a derogatory, racist way because He's from that era.
Here is where I see the difference. My nephews dont care who says it to them as long as it is not said in a derogatory manor. I have seen the ginger Hispanic raz the Spanish Uncle about being a beaner...now, that shit gets real.lol
I did not see where he had said that. From what I have read in this thread..Prez trolled you like a boss, but hey, you want to go to you fall back and blame Trump..go for it
Lie. Looking back at Obama's administration, pretty much across the board they all committed serious anti-American crimes regardless of skin color. Somehow he failed to hire a single honest person, that can't be an accident. Every bad thing anyone ever said about him is likely an understatement, and his greed runs through every cell in his body. Sadly, given his opponents I would still have to vote for him 4 times if I went back and relived history. He is kid stuff compared to Clinton's dark evil.
Because you're not Filipino. No more than I am. It might surprise you to know how hated American blacks are in the Phillipines.
IDGAF what you think about Prez covering for his racist president. His argument falls flat because what I said is true. Flip is a racist term. And you only believe him because he's Filipino. But he's young and grew up using the term the same way as I use the A version of N. JUST LIKE I SAID. I've never wavered. But y'all have. The term went from not being racist to well, old Filipinos think it's racist. So he didn't win an argument or prove a point at all. He simply wavered on his own and then got to say a reverse term (blacksplaining) to prove the point he didn't make... That's creatively bad trolling. It's not racist if a Filipino says it, but it is if it's said angrily by a white guy.
And low and behold there are no charges, indictments, or guilty pleas from anyone in his administration, Clinton included. Riddle me that...
