Great Post I agree there are many discussions we all need to have to decide the kind of society we want to live in ,the problem as I see it is that once the extremists get a voice they use that disatisfaction to forward their agendas of hatred and use emotion rather than reason to try to marginalise parts of our community.
I dont accept that here in the Phils any more than in Portugal or the UK keeping silent may simply facilitate the rise of facism that has always demonised ethnic groups as the untermensh We as a community who love our cross cultural relationships would be foolish to go down this route by claiming some kind of exemption to the rule off "us" & "them" that is the sole rallying cry of the master race.
I will never judge a group by the behaviour of an individual but each person I meet on there merits and I will never remain silent when foolishmen clamour for blood for some imagined slight or blind hatred. They should be ridiculed and given no hiding place amonst decent men of reason regardless of there place of birth or cultural persausion
