I was indeed a bit offended by the series. Not about any slurs, but because I read a couple of weeks ago that the show destroyed the original “Father Knows Best” house over at the old Columbia Ranch, for some kind of season-ender involving a tornado hitting.
Yep, that rubbed me the wrong way... the “Anderson” home (well, for outdoor shootings) being wiped out of existence after 50 years, just for the sake of this stupid, sleazy “Desperate Housewives” show.
I’ve never seen an episode of this show but it surprises me that it or anything would offend Philipinos. Usually Philipine immigrants make great Americans and they don’t buy into this victimhood crap - hope that generalization didn’t offend anyone...
Correct me if i’m wrong, but don’t filipinos mostly try to come HERE to go to college?
And would YOU trust anything more than a hangnail to somebody whose med school diploma had something like “University of Leyte” on it?
And WTF is “racist” about insulting sub-standard colleges, anyway?
I’m gonna start a petition for all the fat, old, single white women to sign because we get insulted all the time, too!
Seriously, aren’t we citizens of the world getting a little too “sahnsatahve”?
The thing this kind of “protest” loses sight of is that the remark was made by a fictional character, was in character for that fictional persona, and did not reflect the opinions of the writers.
When Eva Longoria got married a while back I kept seeing references to her being “31” or that she was in her “early thirties” and nearly fell out of my chair. Regardless of her date of birth, she looks to me to be banking hard around the late 30s and about to crash hard past the 40s barrier.
Must be that fast living.
