[...] And for the benefit of the doubt foundation, here are some thoughts from the blogosphere which you might be interested to read since as far as I know, you deserve some company while miserably ranting about racial slurs from an already anomalous show format who don’t aspired to be politically correct: Pinoyblogero, Ivan, Shari, Doc Martin, Kengkay, Sassy Lawyer, Lester and Ambo.

I bet you understand the difference between a fictional character and the not? I guess you know who is Teri Hatcher over Fernando Poe and the KKK? What if Sponge Bob uttered the same line made by Teri, do you think Filipino people would feel the same way? I don’t need to argue on this issue, i know we have different opinions. And this is what pinoyambisyoso.com all about. Speak and be heard.

You ****, you cannot even separate Terri Hatcher from a character she plays. You probably think Fernando Poe Jr. went around beating up bad guys in his real life. It was a fictional character, not Terri Hatcher. Should actors apologize for playing a KKK member? Should an actor apologize for fictionally shooting someone? I dare you to post this.

I found an interesting perspective on the subject from another Filipino blog here:

Some food for thought to digest, certainly.

“Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”
Don’t take it so serious. it makes sense. Because if someone who graduated from the med school in Philippines, can he/she be a Doc. in US??
of course not~~
he/she has to take another test for being a Doc. in here. so what? beside, the quility of med service in Philippines is really…”impressive.”
that’s why there are so many ppl have this sterotype.

The ABC Network apologizes on the issue. But to some people it’s not sincere and they cannot accept it. Others want Teri to apologize. Others want to ban the show not only in the Philippines but the whole Asia.

If you were to ask, now that ABC apologized on the issue, what’s the best thing to do next? Are we going to keep our mouth shut? What’s in your mind?

i think it is not Ms. Teri Hatcher’s fault.. we should blame the writer.. it was scripted and as an actress she was just following the flow of the story.. ABC was careless to permit these kind of “lines/script”.. our country deserve a public apology..
