I searched but couldn't find any mainstream news blurbs about this; all news seem to be on Filipino oriented websites.

I’m surprised the French didn’t do this first.

Yeah. This is a character in a fictional situation speaking lines written for her. People need to settle down here. If this suit could fly, then a whole lot of people are owed a whole lot of money retroactively for slurs in fictional situations in books, magazines, movies, and TV shows.

Hey Filipinos!! Get over yourselves. While you’re at it, how about cleaning up those crooked card games you’re famous for running. (Hey fuggetaboutit...I’m just saying, you know) /Jersey_Disclaimer

What they should do, is get ABC to write in a future episode where an incompetent black doctor, and his incompetent airhead-blonde intern sidekick, and the incompetent Latino nurses, almost kill someone while the Filipino doctor ends up saving the person’s life and showing up everyone else.

“The reputations of doctors are affected, their income is affected and this is a major damage inflicted not only on them but also the universities in the Philippines,” said lawyer Ted Laguatan.

They have universities in the Philippines? Who knew.

They do, and the one in Manila is not half bad, actually.

what a joke..you know, I work with many Filipinos at a local HMO office here in Los Angeles. It is common knowledge,that for a price, you can buy diplomas in their country. This is something I was told by more than one Filipino co-worker.

The mainstream media including ABC helped create the situation where this kind of “outrage” and lawsuit over such a trivial and fleeting remark could be taken.

ABC deserves the aggravation, even though the suit is without merit.

At least they didn’t say a med school in Mexico. ABC would be toast.

Why would they become thin skinned if the opposite might gain them millions?

"from some med school in the Philippines"

The suit is probably going to be handled by a lawyer who got his degree from some law school in the Philippines.

I’m glad to see ABC get a taste of its own PC consequences.
