from Flipping The Narrative · host Flipping The Narrative
The Philippines, it’s been said, is where Asia wears a smile. Filipinos may be warm, but they’re also capable of being prejudiced - and unfiltered. Our favorite academics Vince Rafael, professor of History at the University of Washington, Seattle, and Lila Shahani, former UNESCO Philippines Secretary-General, flip with us and discuss how race and class are deeply intertwined in Philippine society, why race should matter to Filipinos, and and why pejorative terms against foreigners still creep into everyday conversations.
