What does this have to do with the disparaging of Filipinos who HAVE completed their medical studies, passed ALL of the examination requirements to practice medicine in the U.S and are LEGITIMATELY qualified to be medical practitioners?

I think that the East Asian community in the U.K is overlooked in general. I believe that the majority of East Asians come from China(Hong Kong) or Vietnam and those communities have generally been politically and socially passive when it comes to addressing their issues (I say that without judgement). When I was coming up no-one even knew what a Filipino was – light skinned Filipinos were “chinks” and dark skinned ones were “Pakis”. Some people even thought that these terms were acceptable ways of addressing us. There was and maybe still is a lot of ignorance about our community. I left the U.K in 1992 looking to broaden my horizons, England at that time was a rather depressing place to be.
