the changing attitudes of some immigrants

[somebody]

i am a british now but it doesn't mean that you ignore your fellowmen, one time i meet a group of filipino in city centre i did tried to say hi in tagalog to them but some of them was ignored me, i was found out they are nurses but still they are filipino.

Do you say hello to every Brit you meet in phill and anywhere else in the world?

By that reckoning should I say a few words to every Brit i see in the UK? While Phils greet every phill they seen in Phill?

Everyone should say hello to everyone just in case they were the same nationality as them but look or sounded different?


Only joking around

my misses was chatting to a Filipino at work in english, and the Filipino asked her what country she was from, the Filipino was shocked when my misses told her that shes from the Philippines to, the Filipino said "oh i thought you was Chinese"

don't ever ask the misses if she is Chinese, or she will explode

My Wife gets the same they are not sure if she is phill? Also if she is a half caste, child of two phills etc. Many Indians think she is indian.

Better go and ask viewer if she is chinese

I agree with your comments. I`ve been to a few places round the world and I can`t say every time I see another Brit that I say hi or that they do either.
Having said that I can`t imagine ignoring someone if they say hi or hello.
I`m not sure about this so maybe you can help me but do Filipinos that come here of their own accord have a different attitude to those that come here with a partner?
If so then would that explain the attitude?

Funny occurrence today....

We went to church in the morning and at the end of mass, a small girl in her father's arms was smiling at me, so I said "hallo kulot"...

The bloke nearly fainted whilst looking at me puzzled....
So the mrs said something in klingon, and then walked away.
I kinda told her to go back and have a chat with him, to ask where the Filipinos normally meet around here.
While they were nattering twenty to the dozen, the woman from Tesco turns up and starts talking as well, then another one....

By then I was puffin' on a cancer stick outside...... Thinking... Job done.....

I will keep you posted, but I think it may well be a case of inbred terminal shyness from everybody....
