Teri Hatcher Insults Filipino Doctors/ Medicine Schools in Desperate Housewives


In the Premiere of Desperate Housewives(Season 3) Teri Hatcher made a remark about Filipinos - doctors/nurses. She was talking to her doctor and then she said "Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines."First of all I'm a huge fan of the series and no one could ever ban me from watching it, it's absolutely hilarious and full of racial slurs. Gabrielle Solis' maid who is Chinese was always insulted in the series because of her ethnic origin. The Applewhites, the black (or should I say colored? hehe) family, in the Wisteria Lane neighborhood was often suspected of doing misdeeds just because they are "different" as the series may suggest. I think we should not mind Teri Hatcher's remarks and should laugh out loud. American shows does that all the time. We should be intelligent enough and should learn from our mistakes from the "Filipino" biscuits controversy and Claire Danes' remarks. We should bury the hatchet of false Filipino pride and make use of or True Filipino Pride into productive use by improving the state of our economy.The Filipino doctors, who are graduates of Filipino schools, and Philippine med schools should prove to the world that they're good and the best in the world, as one friend commented. As long as there are no flags burned, which is done by half of the world to the American flag, I think the Filipino has a place in the world arena
