Basahin natin ang Reaksyon ng Isang Chinese tungkol sa Pang-iinsulto ni Chip Tsao

Mainit na pinag-uusapan ang nangyaring pang-iinsulto ng isang Chinese writer na si Chip Tsao sa ating bansa at sa mga Pilipino dahil lamang sa Spratly Islands. Hanggang ngayon ay kumukulo ang dugo namin dito sa Siete Contra Dos dahil sa pangmamaliit niya sa ating lahi.

Humingi na raw siya ng kapatawaran ng live sa isang TV netwrok sa Hong Kong. Humingi na rin ng apology ang HK Magazine na pinagsusulatan niya at kung saan nalathala ang article. At pumunta na rin daw siya sa Philippine consulate sa Hong Kong para humingi ng kapatawaran sa mga opisyales natin doon.

Para sa akin lang, I forgive but I won't forget. Masyadong malalim ang pang-iinsulto niya na halatang sinadya niya. Maaring na-pressure lang ito si Tsao dahil sa reaction ng tao sa kanya kaya niya ginawa iyon. Sa aking pananaw, hindi sincere itong si Tsao dahil alam ba ninyo na nabalitaan namin na hindi na pala ito ang unang pagkakataon na magpahayag ng racist remarks itong Intsik na ito? Pipilitin namin alamin kung saan matatagpuan ang mga sinulat pa niya na pang-iinsulto at ihahatid din namin sa inyo.

Dahil na rin sa dami ng nabasa ko na mga comments ng mga Pinoy, may nakita ako comment ng isa niyang kalahi at worth it naman na i-share sa inyong lahat. Maaaring ang Chinese na ito ay siya yung tinutukoy namin dito. Bigyan natin siya ng panahon at basahin natin ang sinabi niya - unedited:

I am from Shenyang, Liaoning Province of China. My province is known as one of the three places in China where the people are friendly and peaceful. That place is far up North - where we reason with our head...Mr. Tsao comes from down South - where, if it be made an analogy - er, where he reasons with somewhere 'down below'?

I condemn such an insulting, irresponsible, thoughtless, and totally ignorant writing. I am Chinese...again let me reiterate that...but I take the stand the Filipino people take. For once, this is not a question of patriotism. I am patriotic enough but my blood will not boil over some courageous stand the Philippine government deem fit they see. Why Mr. Tsao seethes over the Philippine congress sending gunboats is beyond my comprehension. If we think we are so mighty, would we be scared of anything we think 'small'? That should make us think - that should make us realize that we are not that 'big' after all! If a 'master' cowers at the 'threat' of its 'servant', is he even befitting the title 'master'?

There is nothing wrong with the Philippines sending its workforce abroad to perform decent and honest ways of earning wage. The word 'slave' is lauded by Christ who taught His disciples to be the 'servant of all'. There is nothing wrong in the word 'servant'...unless it is used in a condescending way of which Mr. Tsao is guilty of.

A lot of my countrymen do odd jobs, too, and with the swollen number of our population, the ratio of the Filipino 'servants' would pale in comparison to the number of Chinese 'servants'. Mr. Tsao, we don't call them 'servants', do we?

Mainland China is so different from the Hong Kong picture you have painted, my friend. Er, have you visited Mainland China? You will be surprised how peaceful our people are. I guess you must learn OUR culture first before you attempt teaching your 'maid' something...Chairman Mao himself would beat you for doing what you just did to her.

If you come to Mainland China, you will be surprised at the big number of Filipinos gainfully employed in our schools. Who teaches our kids these days? The beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted, and courageous Filipinos. One day, your offspring will LEARN from a Filipino teacher...your lineage will then be a better copy of you...a 'corrected copy'.

Yes, I come from Shenyang...mainland China. And you come from Hong Kong...tsk tsk tsk...that's saying something these days.

To the Filipino people slighted by this man, I offer apologies. You Filipinos are brave.

And oh, before I forget, why do I take side with the Filipinos? Because I came to know the One True God from one Filipina friend...that makes all the difference. Who is the Giant now if they have this MAGNIFICENT GOD? It is this same God that our big country needs, and thankfully, He is also using the Filipinos to let Himself be known in this country!

Peace! (Source: WangChen34)
