Snob Filipinos in UK

[Iani]

I've noticed a distinct lack of friendliness of SOME Pinay in this country, and wifey was even warned of this attitude by another Pinay when she arrived.......some of them seem to think they are something special depending how long they've been in the uk. The longer they've been here, the more of a cut above the rest they seem to think they are she said.

Some - not all of course.

I can't help thinking the attitude is more a case of "we've got our British residency, we don't have to pretend we like you anymore"

Any thoughts?

[gWaPito]

Plenty of thoughts Iani I've witnessed it many time even at the restaurants where they seem to congragate. They've forgotten where they've come from



The scars deep inside never heal

Just a thought

I'm not a snob. I can make a meal out of anything. I can eat anywhere.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

I issue them when I can

Because they think they have lighter skin, LV bag, iPhone, platform shoes and big sunglasses that cover half of their face... which make them better than the rest. They are the type who wouldn't want to be seen talking to FOBs (fresh off the boat) if that's the right term? who are usually darker, strong accent and dress less "social" etc etc.

I'll say ignore them.

[grahamw48]

Apart from the iPhone, that could well have described me back in the 70s.

Long dark hair ?

Haha I met one of those recently actually, this was when I was checking in the airport in Gensan. A loud mouth Australian-Pinay pushed right in front of me like I didn't exist. She probably think she get the pass for wearing big sunglasses

I told her that the queue is behind me

[gWaPito]

Yes, I can imagine Some have got their heads well and truly stuck up their own ar$es

Just given you a rep for making me laugh. I'm easily pleased.

[Jentobeharrison]

I guess it's not just happening there. Whenever I see women who are walking with their foreign partners here they will look at me from head to toe and make me feel like I am inferior and it's worse when I am with my fiance but who do they think they are? I am pretty sure that they only got their arrogance when their foreign partner started to support them. So what I do is to roll my eyes back to them, duh? they're barking at the wrong tree.

What you can do is just to ignore them, you cannot do anything about those people who are lacking in education and manners.

[Michael Parnham]

The thing I've noticed with Filipinas is regarding manners, they always say thank you, but never say please!

[grahamw48]

Just cultural differences I'm sure Michael.

They make up for it in so many other ways though.

Oh cheers mate, I don't think I have those rep buttons showing, probably because of low post count.

Funny thing is, I first asked her > "Hi where did you come from?" (as in how did you get in front of me all of the sudden ) and I sounded like I was genuinely interested which western country she came from, like I was impress the way she is dressed and talked on the phone... then only to tell her to get back of the queue.

[gWaPito]

Hi Rick....you have the star symbol next to the warning triangle. Click over the star and that will give you the option

Keep posting mate

[malditako]

they are probably here in uk for a long time that seeing a fellow filipino is already normal to them so not bother to chat anymore
