Bebot, The "stereotypical" video. Options

So I was watching the Filipino news, and apparently a whole bunch of people (read: offended Filipinos) are complaining that the new BEP video for "Bebot" exploits stereotypes of Filipinos, specifically:

Virgins
Whores
Shrilly Mothers.

Okay, Filipino mothers ARE shrilly, well at least, my mother is.

And I get the stereotype of the virgin thing, and the whore thing, I guess that's when we become 18 and get out of parent's house.

Sure, the video isn't exactly helping the idea that Filipino girls don't show their midriff every single frigging day once they can go clubbing, but the Shrilly Mother thing is true. Totally, totally true.

Thoughts?

Oh yeah, and you have to skip the beginning of the video, it doesn't seem like it has very much to do with the video for "Bebot".

yea actually im starting to understand what your saying . all mothers act like that even my mom ....that "post suplada spanish feeling" ...with there ego , its part of the blood ....i lived with 8 dominant women in my family ...so im guessing i would know ......heck i see it in alotta of the filipino girls in college too ...they get all shrilly/ditzy and stuff. ... i think thats what older filipinos complain about which downgrades and mis-represents our culture ..we have to get back our classy side . like during the 50`s and the 70`s . that being mixed asians, hispanics , malays and americans is a good thing .
