It is not racism, it's about hygiene. Sorry to say but there are some foreigners that seem not to be taking baths every day. How did I know. I have an Australian friend before we used to skate almost everyday. I'm noticing he is changing his clothes everyday but he smells bad. Until I asked him when was the last time he took a bath and he mentioned a week ago. I asked him why. he said they were used to it because the weather in his country is cold. I don't know if it's true I have never been to Australia. But I think that is the reason why some foreigners smell so bad. Not saying all. Some of them.

Brother I am very sorry to hear that. I am a FILIPINO myself. Our culture are very particular with HYGIENE and smell. smell on the body and smell on the mouth. We grow up of taking a bath EVERYDAY (full shower- a shampoo on the head and a soap on the body). Filipino babies are already in bathing rituals everyday BUT a used of a lukewarm water in a basin. Bacteria in the body can cause a bad odor. In the western, eastern middle east, africa and some other asian like chinese, and indians they dont take their babies on bathing EVERYDAY especially if it is a newborn. If we go outside under the heat of the sun, we usually changed our clothes or do shower. For us, sweating can cause bad odor. Mostly filipinos had HALF BATH (meaning- showering the body with soap but not the head before going sleep at night.) Two types of rituals : 1) Full bath in the morning before going to work, schools or any activities 2) Half bath in the night before sleep due to some activities on the day. Others would take 3 baths if it is summer. Our parents since childhood will shout us if we don't take a bath because we believe in cleanliness. Among ASIAN country, filipinos observed bathing EVERYDAY. I could smell two (2) nationalities having bad smell on their armpit in 20 or 50 meters away in an open air. It cause me severe headache especially if they are using perfume, the mixtures cause me severe headache. Its normal for us to be frank with other filipinos if they smell bad and says please take a bath BUT not to foreigners to avoid insult. Racism is not part on our culture. We just dont like bad smell. If a filipino has a bad smell, it is a questions

[@jermskaybee4813]

South East Asian culturally are clean and take a bath often. They tend to have very sensitive noses to body odor. So please if go there, use antiperspirant and bath often especially if you go to crowded places. Also they will not want to embarrass you so they give you a signal by holding their noses or go to the other side of the room. In Thailand they would ask, have you showered or not yet? Many foreigners would take offense at that, but they are just concern for you. Because it is hot and humid there and a shower makes you more comfortable. When you know the culture you will not be so easily offended.

I think, bad body odor always smells bad regardless of color eh? Sometimes, your own nose just get immune to your own body odor, so you cannot clearly distinguish if you smell bad or not. There are even people who will cover their odor with so much perfume, which, by itself, becomes suffocating also. You cannot always point this to racism. Who are you to question people for covering their nosel, just so you dont feel offended? I am a Filipino and I had been with all race of people. I tell you, I dont care what color your skin is, if you smell bad, i will cover my nose or go away from you.

DEODORANT 🤔

[@yorukaze4009]

I'm a Filipino, and I apologize on behalf of my countrymen who does this although this thing not only happen to Africans but also to other nationalities especially in enclosed spaces such as elevators, buses, metro and cars. The thing is when people sweat, odour also comes out and sometimes it is really intolerable. I was guilty of covering my nose once or twice in elevator going to and coming home from work but that time I was under chemotherapy and my sense of smell elevated to the highest level that I feel nauseated sensing even a slightest bad odour. Not all Filipino meant to discriminate or humiliate when they do this but it is true that there are those who are really rude with attitudes. On the other side though, paying attention to good personal hygiene doesn't hurt and boosts ones self esteem.

The reason why the philippians and any other Asian group temper their bigotry in America compared to other nations is because Foundational Blacks will check it. Whereas our diaspora brethren may not recognize it or just let it slide.

[@PrincessPowerranger]

The Filipinos in the Arab world are suffering, they are treated as slaves literally so their hatred is projection. Ones who are in the United States often come from wealthier more educated families so they are not living under the same conditions as the ones in the Arab world. I think the environment also affects how people behave, unfortunately in the Arab world there is a lot of discrimination towards filipinos, africans and Indians so the ones in the Arab world are honestly just acting up up cause their hurt

[@DoDahhhhhhhhh]

I seriously doubt its a projection

[@PrincessPowerranger]

@DoDahhhhhhhhh the reason I think it's projection is because they are literally living like sl0ves in the Arab world, so when you feel down you look for someone else to bring down

[@sgm2463]

Agreed looking for acceptance.

[@scnitkapolska5598]

Unfortunately you are totally wrong! The only problems here are African that being crying baby and oversensitive that every single little things are racism for them! Stay away and avoid them if you are very uncomfortable! I heard in the news that Dubai already banned 20 African countries due to increase in criminal activity and doing illegal drugs which is very prohibited in Middle East! So please stop acting like African are the only innocent here!

Honestly, I haven't experienced any racism in the Philippines and I've been here for 7 years. I'm FBA or Black American born and raised in California. Filipinos are very hospitable, but courteous, thats a different story many times. Over the 7 years the only weird experiences I've had where as the locals tend to cut in line at various establishments as they clearly saw me as a foreigner, and also, not giving me the right-of-way as I crossed many streets where the sign indicated, pedestrian crossing. Other than that, the Filipino people are super cool.❤

May i kindly suggest the use of deodorant, racims..no. south east asian observe hygine due to humid and hot weather, and dont want their friends, peers, colleagues to be bothered by the unpleasant odor.

It's not all, but just stay aware of surroundings. You'll figure out who not to deal with.

[@je-ianszalpuk8080]

We as a Filipino don’t judge or against any race. We are very welcoming, only one thing is for sure hygiene, Filipinos will surely close their nose or wear mask if they smell something(it’s not only you but even Filipino to Filipino will do that too). Especially hygiene, we don’t like bad breath, smelly feet or underarm, body odor especially in public transportation. All Filipinos do that in all of us. And they’ll called it out, then laughing about it. It’s not racism about your race believe me. We all experienced that with our own people. It’s normal to us, it happens to us in daily lives. That’s why Filipinos do taking shower twice or trice a day with proper cleanliness, it’s a must for us.
