what happened to the video at the end?
She looks pure Filipina. And, her Asian accent is strong.
She look likes a pure Filipino.
She is full blooded!
@@glnholler No, she is not. She has Caucasian features barely noticeable to your eyes because her "Filipino" physical traits seemed dominant. Most Filipinos are mixed genetically and I could see the confusion of most people. There is no such thing as a full blooded Filipino. It does not exist. Although the ethnic composition of most Filipinos come from the Austronesian speaking stock of the Indo Pacific there are other obvious traits mixed from foreign groups. I don't see any typical filipino look other than the low ridged, flat and wide nose which she does not have.
So strange that they "can see her half whit/Filipino." My wife is more white than her. And she is pure Filipino. No one treats her differently.
@@ArneRagnarsson Quite a few Filipinos are ignorant about these things. Filipinos for the most part cannot tell Filipinos apart other than the flat nose and their fake "white" complexion they chemical induced over their brown skin. In every island I have been Filipinos did not look physically the same. Filipinos seem to think to be an Asian with slant eyes represent Asia. When the "yellow skin, slant eyed" are groups of people located at certain regions of the continent of Asia. The Chinese, Japanese and Korean peoples hijacked the one look Asian identity which is very different from the majority of Asian races and cultures. There are Filipinos who idiotically think Filipino is also a race which is not one by any matrix. A Filipino is a political identity or a nationality from its sovereign structure hence it is an ethnicity which goes beyond physical appearance.
@@ArneRagnarssonSame thought here 😂
She's the most filipina looking girl I've seen 😂
These young people are going places with this podcast. Btw Hannah already has the accent, she will be fully fluent sooner than later.
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Thank you! I really hope so😊
Have a blessed day!
Straight Tagalog/Filipino challenge is absolutely interesting, deep learning and absolutely fun... enjoy 😅
Liz and Becca are so beautiful. And them speaking Tagalog and a dialect makes them even more attractive. I enjoy your podcasts girls!. Keep up the good work 👌
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
The way Hannah speaks, it’s a Filipino accent already. And also her features are very Pinay. You guys are lucky for being half blooded and don’t forget that you are Filipino and be proud of your roots both sides. Philippines is very diverse kaya magaganda at Gwapo ang lahi natin kumpara sa ibang Asian.
Why do you need to compare?:/ “kumpara sa ibang Asian” so negative. Everyone has their own beauty in their own way.
ITS HEARTWARMING THAT YOU GUYS FULLY EMBRACE THE PHILIPPINE CULTURE,
Hannah sounded a true Filipina, she looks filipina.
A group of Filipinos up north are very proud of thier culture; proud to be one. Even Spanish colonizers could not subjugate them.
I admire you young people for your podcast... Its timely and relevant knowing thatthe Philippines is becoming more and more multi - racial country. Lets admit it, millions of OFWs are working worldwide and its expected that a good percentage of them could marry other nationalities.. and will have children of mixed race and cultures.. These should prepare our countrymen to act and deal with this reality with respect, empathy, open-mindedness,abd acceptance.. You are educating the public about it and i yruly admire you fir rhat. God bless you and continue doing so.
Thank you so much, Cesar. That is really why we started this podcast. To basically start a dialogue and create some sort if awareness. Thanks again for watching
Visited Sweden twice and I will say for the most part they are very welcoming but I visited in work capacity as a colleague.
Outside of work in my two visits I did experience a bit of stereotypical treatment or was made to feel different. I think this would be the case in any country as a fish out of water, you kind of just stick out. For the record, I dont hold Swedish people by the racists they have. Swedish people overall are great! At least the ones I worked with.
I did appreciate the non-gender bathrooms and the responsibility everyone has in cleaning up after themselves - We definitely need that here in the states.
she looks more Filipino than the 3 host.
i mean i would not know shes half if not mentioned
Same. Also the accent, you can easily distinguish. Maybe they're speaking tagalog more back in Sweden?
i love ur content ... please continue ...
Thank you!!
I love your Ilongga accent when you speak the dialect ... keep up doing more of this stuff
Were so proud of you guys...god job.....
Thank you ❤️
Hello! New subscriber here in Southern California. Enjoying your podcast/yt.👍🏼❤️
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
About the Little Mermaid, the backlash is that, the story is not the story of Little Mermaid (disney cartoon). And it is a Western story by Hans Christian Andersen and the mermaid is depicted as white.
If black people wanted a "mermaid" theme, they could have created a script of a black mermaid and the story is different.
A good example for this is a Filipino version which is called "Dyesabel". It's about the mermaid people but the story is different.
the story never specified that the character needed to be white
@@jtlusong It didn't but there is past art about the story where mermaids are depicted as white. It is heavily implied due to it being a western story. Despite that, more of the backlash is on people having emotional connection to the original character.
It's a small victory anyway. The more important thing is allowing more minorities to be able to write, produce and direct so that they can tell their own original stories. That's the thing they don't want to talk about.
I find this podcast nice and interesting... Good content!
Thank you for watching ❤️
The twin should get their own podcast
Envy ba or annoyance sa kanya?
she looks pure filipino in my eyes, she has fair skin and beautiful with fluent english,so at first look she is like a rich kid filipina na naka aircon na galing pangmayaman na school na mga sosyal ang students, pero first look pinay beauty talaga e, beautiful
I guess, she are spoiled.
Cool clip
Kung gusto ninyo maging sanay mag-Tagalog, kausapin ninyo yung mga security guards at yung mga tindera at ordinaryong tao para sagutin din kayo sa Tagalog.
Thank you for the advice! And I usually do that, also trying to go to the Palenke and use the public transportation :)
Hope every human beings are just all equal..no color of skin,race,ethnisity,or level in life,rich or poor is above to any one. The treatment of being fair to each one of us is already good. But sadly,nation to nation,country to country are fighting with one another just to show that their country is the strongest and mighty one. The only thing that matters now is to be good and kind to people as well as to animals.
Exactly! Positivity and love❤ We all, both humans and animals, live on this earth together!
Have a blessed day!
I grew up with a red haired little mermaid, its as real to me as Mulan is Chinese, they should create new black character instead of changing existing characters.
Its called race swapping. Netflix and Disney been doing it. Woke culture.
Interesting channel 🤔 I feel you got potential to grow and become bigger if you continue interesting content. Goodluck guys
Thanks so much Jeffy! We’ll try out best
7:57 I appreciate that Hanna is transparent about her white privilege. I take it as a form of allyship towards moreno or indigenous Filipinos. to me, it is fine for white or light-skinned Filipinos (and white people in general) to use the benefits of their privileges if they are actively leveraging it in support of brown, moreno or indigenous Filipinos, and not just reinforcing the colonial dynamic. it is important for white or light-skinned people to call out when there is an unfair bias in favor of them. This puts a mirror on our society and asks us to challenge colonization, both imposed on us, and as you all said, internalized by us from centuries of conditioning.
How is she actively leveraging her 'white' privilege in support of Moreno and/or indigenous people? The fact that she was transparent about her having more opportunities in the Philippines because she is half white is quite telling. Nothing wrong in trying to take that advantage, but she's actually taking space from the 'darker' Filipinos. And frankly, she continues to enable the entertainment industry to habitually continuously favor the halfies and light skinned Filipinos.
@@Kitkat-wu3ow I didn’t say that she is actively leveraging her white privilege. I said “if” she does so; I am implying that she could and should.
well if you want to call out who takes up space, why don’t you focus on the monopoly capitalists, the big landlord class, and the bureacrats who are depleting resources, violating human rights, greatly exploiting Filipino labor, destroying the environment, cultivating corruption in our government, and subverting the power of the people? why focus your energy on a budding actress who is at the beginning of her career, and is being honest about her privilege?
OMG! Even in Philippines woke talks start to reverberate. Pang layas mo kung magsugod mog gubot diri kay we don’t tolerate this type of influence.
Oh shut up dude. so white is more attractive in women, it is what it is. You sound more western. I hope you don't westernize the Phillipines
@@CommieKilla1977 anong gusto? ang tuloy na pagsipsip sa mga dayuhang hindi ka naman kinikilala? para kang bayarin ni elon musk, wala ka namang natatanggap
It really is true.Provincial peeps tend to gravitate more on local artistas,unlike in Metropolitan Manila and Cebu..Although,..the "Masa" or commoners have grrreatly embraced Korean K-Pop as well..which resulted to a very dismal following on other local talents.
Will definitely talk about this as well!
I am half Chinese-Filipino.
Just to inform you that not all Chinese,Japanese,Koreans,Vietnamese have slanted eyes.
I have "big brown CHINKY EYES"
Most Southeast Asians with Chinese ,Japanese ,Koreans and Vietnamese roots have chinky eyes.
Many Filipinos have chinky eyes even without Chinese,etc.ancestors.
the 3 ladies are so beautiful. wow !
Thank you so much for the compliment!
@@joelruiz730 why, how many ladies were there?
Here in the Philippines, we don't care if you are white or black. the important thing is that you bring out what you are. we are pure Filipino friendly happy people.
mali, sinabi na nga niya na pag filipino rude ang guard pag siya na hindi, admit or not majority of filipino has slave mentality and act as if white people are superior. same reason we are not moving forward as a country because we don't have the filipino first mentality. look at japan, china and south korea thet don't bend down or act inferior to foreign tourist.
Not true, many Filipinos are racists. They discriminates people of color, like aetas, badjao. Many people in Manila make fun of the provincial accents and intonation, as if Tagalog is the only language in the Philippines. One time I heard a lady called out a mother and son talking in Bisaya, she told them to speak in Tagalog "because you are in Manila". As a Bicolano native, I reprimanded the lady. "they are not talking with you, don't impose your language to other Filipinos".
lol, not all. colorism and racism still exist. Aren't you aware of the social issues that we have? Just admit that we are not perfect as a nation, may flaws din tayo like other countries. Yung iba sa atin ay mapagsamantala sa kapwa o sa turista, opurtunista ba ga.
@@hirayamanawari3583 correct. Very true.mostly greed avaricious.crimes rampant in phil
Not true. Mostly of Filipinos don't like Africans.
8:17 no shade or anything, but she totally looks filipino. I wouldnt think she's half white. Perhaps she looks different in person.
I agree about the lotion that everything has whitening. I had a hard time finding a locally made lotion that has no whitening ingredient
Truly.. especially for darker skinned Filipinos. thanks so much for watching!
Glutathione is not a whitening agent, basically. It is antioxidant that helps save your skin from getting G oxidized, thus, older and hyperpirmented. Glutathione is not assurance you will be 'whiter' as was implied by most ads.
Kudos to this podcast Guys! btw your guest Hannah is she really half Filo/Swedish? Her whole feature and english accent are so Filipino like to the fact she is born in Sweden...Her tagalog is spot on; it'll be interesting to hear her speak Swedish. Hope she makes it in the industry... more power to her.
Hi! Yes, she’s fluent in Swedish and English and has been practicing Tagalog here, hence the accent. Thank you for watching ☺️
Filipinos in europe half or pure also have the wanna be English common to filipinos. I hear filipino kids talking carabao english and i want cringe. Listen how this b
Hannah talk; "dat was one ting dat...."
Oh my God! She finally answer my question.
I was always wondering why we (manila) doesn't watch TV and movies a lot whereas in provinces people are glued on TV and talking about telenovela. We always says movies here in the Philippines are baduy.
This is because of western influence.
Agree! Thanks for watching 🥹
@@thewinedingdownpodcast agree!
GOOD CONTENT
Yah so pinay even the guy so pinoy and i like this podcast not loud not over talking each other.
Talking over each other loudly is a Pinoy way.😂😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gotta make it clear viva artist and viva max are completely different genre
Tbh, she looks so Filipino, she doesn't look half Swedish at all.
Thank you! I take that as a compliment😊
Is it only me her english accent sounds so filipino 🤔
How would a half swedish look like? Asking for a friend. If a swede, a dane, german (or any north western european) stand next to each other, would anyone be able to tell the difference? Again just asking for a friend. :-0
She is probably AMPON or her Filipino blood is too strong no trace of Swedish race 😂😂😂
If you know tagalog( the basis of pilipino one of the 2 official languages in the Philippines) you will be understood from Batanes to Sulu unlike other Philippine dialect because it is taught in elementary up to high school.
and languages
Therefore hangout with people who speaks Tagalog. It is a mindset. You should really want it even if it is hard.
Those darker ladies are very beautiful and smart ❤️
Thank you 😊
How many "LIKE", but all good convo
The "not VivaMax" clarification was very important. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Cute.
It was needed 🤓🤣
nice conversations, What if Darker Skin comes First than White Skin, like paints white color fades in time mixed with dark colors, but i can't see more this will be happening.....cheers
Hey Guys! Love your channel and content. New subscriber here from the U.S. (Fil-Am). So, my question is for Hannah. Is she a singer or songwriter? Actress? I didn't get that part of the conversation. I can definitely relate to her frustrations (and yours too) about how people can be ignorant and say insulting things but as we get older, we have no alternative but learn how to deal with it better by educating the ignorant. Looking forward to more videos with new topics. Hannah, what is your IG page titled?
Thanks so much for the comment and feedback Jay! Hanna’s an aspiring actress! And her IG is @hannaleander :)
If you look at the overall picture in the wholeness of someone trying to get in the entertainment industry, Hannah, the half Swedish will have problems; it's very obvious, she's putting too much on her being half. She experienced some negative in Sweden back and now she thinks she will have a better chance using her half white looks. She's already shows some s. complex the way she talks. Some things you need to keep to yourself; focus more on the positive; excell on your line or chosen career.
Thank you for bringing up the topic of having white skin or being WHITE being superior than anything else in the eyes of the general public. Because Spain had a prolonged colonization period of more than 300 years in the Philippines, which was not a favorable history, it was when my forefathers held the belief. Then another predominantly white superpower-this time, the United States-colonized us, followed by the militarily potent Japanese who have a fairer skin tone. Filipinos are hooked to bleaching since white people bullied us up until the Japanese occupation of the country. As a result of western culture's dominance in music, show business, modeling, etc., Filipinos desire to appear white in order to overcome their inferiority complex.
Thank you so much for watching! It really is something that is unspoken.
The guard acting differently is not due to ethnicity but economic social status.
Which can be related to the skin color. From what we’ve experienced, some Filipinos believe the fairer the skin color, the higher the economical social status. Of course this is not true for all cases, but it has happened a lot from our experience
Like she is like so pinoy looking like i mean she is so pinoy like so beautiful like she is so proud to be like Filipina like.
people from many cultures have eaten or continue to eat dogs. many European cultures like parts of Switzerland, the UK, France and Germany have eaten and continue to eat dogs. being a “dog-eater” is just used on Asians to dehumanize us and be racist towards us
I understand it is deplorable to eat dogs because of their developed (and bred) relationships to humans - I couldn’t do it either. however, we judge this as if we don’t take lives by eating cows, pigs and other animals. we as a society in general need to be better exposed to “livestock” and see them as living animals rather than to only see cooked & served meat with no origin from living beings
the word “hot dog” comes from the assumption that there was dog meat in the German frankfurter, because dog meat was commonly used in different parts of Germany. now that this is societally unacceptable for most European nations, it is easy for them to project this as a form of barbarism and to “other” certain races of people
Sorry but I live in France for 35 years and touring around Europe working as an animals advocate but I never knew that they eat dogs.
@@Iwantyou14 well now you know. you’re welcome
I found your content is quite interesting so I just subscribe to you guys good luck 👍 by the way I’m a pilipino 😊
Salamat po!! ☺️
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Not all go for whitening here in the philippines some wants to be more morena it depends since we are surrounded by wsters ad going to beaches often naturally go back to being more morena even for a lighter color
Hi Marivic!
We aren't saying everyone, but it is a really big thing here, like in almost every asian country. In Europe you can't even find whitening products, there you will buy tanning sprays/lotions or even go to a solarium, lay down in a sun bed to get a tan.
Not our purpose to offend anyone, we are just speaking about what we see and experience.
Being morena is beautiful! Every skin color is beautiful
@@hannaleanders it is but logical that in europe you wont find whitening products because they don’t need it just like one won’t find tanning salons because they don’t need it. Europeans want to look darker because it is a social thing. The contrary is the same in africa, asia and pacific. Not sure in the americas.
In USA , I lived there for many years, I have never heard from American people that Asean eating dog. People in USA are more humanitarian, and I guess it is more better to live in USA than other European countries . In the eyes of God we are all equal.l, black, yellow, brown, or white God loves us all.
Many Pinoys watch too much Rap and Hiphop that they think "Nigga" is a term of endearment and is a cool thing to say.
Hi Sonny. Yes, you are correct. Which is an example of some of the ignorance we face sometimes..
My parents said that Filipinos learn to eat dog,cat,rats,insects or anything's that moved during the Japanese occupation where their is starvation and hungers period I meant started to eat anything
Interesting.. thanks for the information 🤔.. 😀
It's true
Tagalog podcast challenge
😁🥰🥰
G! 😀
In the entertainment industry in the Philippines, they looked at your physical appearance as your passport rather than talent.
Pilipino love black!
Hmm? Mag-Tagalog ako or Taglish sa comment para mapilitan kayo matuto. haha!! WIth the camera issue ay lesson learned dapat. When shooting ay dapat nakakabit sa outlet para hindi maulit ang issue na yan. More power guys!
Noted po 😅🥹
speak tagalog or taglish para ma proud kami lalo sainyo guys.
Filipino or half filipino born outside the country are way different from natural born Pinoys culture because they are carrying and adapt the traits and nature of that particular country in term of life and perspective are far from our point of view, our action sometimes misunderstood
Kulang 😊 I feel like she wasn't able to say much of the differences ( in culture, moral and spiritual values, parenting, children's upbringing, etc. )
I don't think the guards or anyone would be super rude to locals. Filipinos in general are nice people. I don't look like a typical Filipina but I don't see others who do being treated rudely by guards or anyone.
i feel the same thing. Guards here are generally nice, and hardly would you encounter a rude one. So dont understand...
Yeah looks like Filipina dominant...
She looks 100% pinay
Hannah is capitalizing on the colonial mentality of pinoys just like many half2 artistas
Hmmmmmmm. That’s all, I can say.
Philippines one of the most Democratic country all the pilipino had privilege
She was like of course I'm not gonna eat your dog, but your cat looks really tasty!!!
Liz and Becca are the prettiest Nigerian I have seen. Their personalities are more of Filipina specially when they speak ilonggo and Tagalog.
Awww, thank you!! 🥹❤️
The girl wt black shirt looks not half. Purely she looks filipina.
nice topic but you need more guests..
Definitely will have more soon! ☺️
*11:42* BINGO! I knew it HAHAHA see?? she know how to play her being halfie HAHA galing mo! HAHA last mo na yan accla
Hanna was trying to be transparent with her privilege here in the PH. It’s really all about the mindset of how you can perceive that :)
@@thewinedingdownpodcast if the PH industry and Filipinos in general will found out this type of scheme doing by half pinoy and its being abused, u know what will happen bebs😉
@@HiItsMe-ip8cj Hey! That’s the exact point of this video. All of us are trying to highlight the stigma around dark-skin and why Filipinos tends to favor fairer skin. Hope that clarifies some misunderstandings and thanks again for watching ☺️
@@HiItsMe-ip8cj HI!
As I said, I got a opportunity here, not because I'm using my "privilege" I got offered a contract. That's all 😊
Many managers reach out to people, not the other way around.
Have a blessed day :)
It's interesting how she speaks of being half Sweden and how she is aware of her privilege. And turn around and say that she had an opportunity in the Philippines because she did not use her 'privilege'. Has she done any international projects that would initiate a manager to approach her to offer her a contract? IDK, she did say she wanted to be an artist in the Philippines and most likely she looked for an agent/manager to help her navigate the entertainment business in the Philippines. TBH she doesn't even look mix. I suspect that she makes a point she is half Sweden and by doing that she has used her privilege. She's full of herself.
All in all, this was a good interview. This is not to invalidate Hanna's experience, but generally speaking, Swedes are not racist. Quite the contrary, Sweden is known to be one of the most progressive countries on the planet. Also, Swedish men have been marrying Thai women in droves. If they were truly prejudiced against Asians, they wouldn't be wifing them up.
And regarding that quip about eating dogs- personally, I don't take offense when people joke about stereotypes because, for the most part, they're based on actual truths. I've found that it's best to have a wry sense of humor about it. So when asked, "Are you going to eat my dog?" you could respond with, "No, he's too skinny" or feigning outrage, "Of course not! I only eat cats."
Thanks so much for the comment. I believe our dialogue didn’t state Swedes are racist, rather Hanna just shared her personal experience growing up which included racism towards her. Of course this all subjective and based on the individual :)
marrying someone from another race does not mean that you no longer treat people with prejudice. that’s a false correlation
sure, a stereotype might come from somewhere true, but it still is overgeneralizing a people, and goes as far as dehumanizing them. sure, we can laugh about a joke. it’s not gonna be the last laugh tho
@@jtlusong That's a straw man argument. Do you honestly think that a person who is racist against Asians would go to great lengths to marry a Thai woman and treat her like a queen in his home country?
Let us suppose that a Swedish friend jokingly asks me, "Are you going to eat my dog?" - Do you truly believe that joke has "dehumanized" the entire Filipino population?
@@joelruiz730 For sure. But since she wasn't trying to push a narrative, I didn't put her on blast.
@@Harzach-Hardcastle7685 ironic. someone shares her personal experiences with racism, then you use an example that has nothing to with what she was saying by arguing that Sweden is one of the most progressive countries in the world, and that Swedish men are marrying Thai women in droves. now that is a straw man argument.
my statement was general: “marrying someone from another race does not mean that you no longer treat people with prejudice”. you can think about this one. I won’t explain any further.
and you’re using another straw man argument by inserting a theoretical example of a Swedish man marrying an Asian woman and treating her like a queen in his home country.
to your question about stereotypes: good luck to you sir.
For me Hannah is pure Filipino even the accent !
she doesnt sound someone who grew up in Sweden..no accent at all...and not even a hint of any dominant genes..look pure filipina to me...
@@user-ft7jd4lb3d Hello :)))
Just because I don't have an accent don't mean I didn't grow up in Sweden, hehe. But im proud of my both sides, but to be honest. I look exactly like my dad, just not the dark features. That I got from my mom, but otherwise I look more like my dad. I also guess I look more pinay of the way I do my make up, but I can go all natural next time lol
Have a blessed day 😊
Hello guy invite fil am and many more country japinoy and all over the world country thank you
Sure!
5:31 the mail-order bride system, red light districts, and sex tourism - these things do happen, and are rampant in the Philippines. they developed because of US military bases.
the Filipina wife and white husband dynamic isn’t, as some people you met in Sweden seem to imply, because the Philippines is a second-rate place to find a wife when white men can’t do so in their own nation. the larger societal factor is the colonial relations that continue to force the Filipino people into poverty, and the continued imposition of western values & culture, while erasing Philippine history & culture - crippling Filipino self worth and depleting Filipino knowledge of self determination
yes, it is important for each person to choose who they love; that should always be primary. but it is important to be aware of societal and intergenerational factors that affect our decisions.
no matter how much colonization imposes or implies it, I would never believe we are a lesser people. in fact, there is so much more to our culture and history that we are yet to tap into.
Perfectly said!
It seems to me colonialism being brought up now is just whining. If people in former colonies really believe that colonialism was pure evil, they should reject anything western. Reject movies, songs etc. Even reject religion which was brought over by colonial masters. But no, you will find lots of people from former colonies migrating to the country of their oppressors. What message does that convey? I hate you oppressors but I like your system so am going there and then complain about racism while enjoying the benefits of a developed country. Hypocrisy at its worst.
@@BigD481 you are conflating a lot of concepts in your statement. first of all, though many movies, songs, and other different products in culture, arts, religion, technology, come from western countries, does not mean that those were purely western inventions. for example concepts of algebra, libraries, bread, and string instruments like the guitar came from the Arabic world, were developed by cultures from all over the world, and are now prevalent in western societies. even Jesus is from Palestine or Western Asia, and his gospels were used for the purposes of the Roman Catholics who amassed stolen wealth through the religion they created based on Jesus centuries after his existence. the English language itself has a massive amount of words it adopted from other languages, which is why it has many grammatical inconsistencies. saying certain items of culture, technology, etc are western is erasing the multicultural history and labor that made those items exist in the first place.
you’re the one who is thinking I am calling the western world evil. I am simply talking about the current - not former - current, colonial dynamic that exists in many countries around the world like the Philippines. for example, if you study laws like the Labor Export Policy, you’ll find out that Marcos, a US corporate puppet, pushed a policy that reshaped our educational and labor infrastructure so that rather than being able to own means of labor, Filipinos are dependent on working overseas at much below first world country labor standards, which subjects them to abuse overseas, and too often death. the companies they work in are profiting from the lower wages, greater exploitation and lower labor standards.
I’m sure many Filipinos would be happy to come back to the Philippines if the economy was well enough to support their families. in order for the economy to be well, more everyday people, not multinational corporate monopolies, will need to own the means of production. meaning the multi-billion dollar large scale mining, oil, logging, agricultural, tourism, and many other types of companies across the many fields need to be locally owned for the benefit of the Filipino people, and not destroying the environment, and not committing human rights abuses.
OMG, I understand now you are a Socialist and that explains all of this. Let’s put Economics aside for that’s a long topic and would take a lot of time that am willing to spend on this topic. First of all the interview is flawed and hosts are just willing to take her statements without clarifying whether the derogatory comments she received happened on a daily basis or happened a few times and once the query was answered, the topic ended. What i disagreed about was the immediate claim to victimhood which is essentially what the woke culture has been doing in the US and some countries are starting to adopt. While I agree with the premise , making it a priority has some unintended consequences. But lets leave the US out of this for a moment. And concentrate on colonialism. So like the woke crowd you want Filipinos to blame our former colonizers for our country’s problems, more than a hundred years after Spain was kicked out and more than 70 years after the US gave it up. Oh yeah, let’s play victim. Maybe that’s why we continue to be this way and Japan is well Japan.
And oh by the way , Lapu Lapu and his crew didn’t sail all the way to Palestine and say, cool nice religion, nope it was brought over by our oppresive colonizers. Which is why, just about all of South America. Christianity in Asia and America has a western component. Let’s tackle the colonization of North America which the woke crowd insists of giving the former colonists the guilt trip. First of all, without that there would be no US and without the US, the whole of Europe would be goose stepping to the German National anthem and all of Asia would be speaking Japanese. And the two of us won’t have the freedom to complain about it. Sometimes good things happen from bad things.
@@BigD481 your arguments are devoid of logic and reason, and you think it helps your cause to stigmatize labels you probably know nothing about.
the hosts are interviewers, not interrogators. if someone says they have a particular experience with a topic, interviewers converse with their guest about it, not grill the person and question whether they’re lying or not. just because the person had some negative experiences does not mean she is making herself a victim.
when it comes to colonization, it is possible to address the actions of a person, of people, of certain “leaders”, of a nation, while not being against them as a whole. meaning it is possible to be against a country’s genocidal behavior, and not against the country’s people.
you can still have relations with people from the US and other western countries. you can still befriend them, trade with them, exchange culture, etc, and not be an apologist for using Christianity to colonize and erase peoples’ original cultures, spirituality, languages, etc. you don’t need to be an apologist for the genocide of tens of millions of Indigenous Americans.
yes, the USSR and the US allied against German and Japanese fascism, which is to be applauded. but these heroic acts do not justify their own fascist or genocidal behavior. you can appreciate the US allying against the axis powers, while also being upset about them dropping atomic bombs on innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Aside from being half white, men are attracted to you because you are beautiful...
Yea i got asked here too if I eat dog 😅 blame the news guys.
I noticed that sweden's news about Philippines are all just about the negatives, hence people here thinks Philippines is just about crimes, poverty, and all the other dark shades.
Hope they try to show the bright side so there's a contrast. Everytime my swedish husband says "you know i heard something on the news about your country today" and I already know it's something bad as always. The sad thing about this is, the news shapes how people here think of the Philippines. But they cannot just take 1 bad occasion as a daily happening.
Like those police officers who murdered a korean daw, binalita ng asawa ko sakin. And I said that is just 1 case. There are no several cases like that. And the polices who committed the crime are now in jail its not like they are walking around freely. So our justice system is pretty much working.
Did she really come from Sweden? Why does she keep saying 'like' in every sentence? She doesn't sound really fluent in English though.
Hi Eve. The national language in Sweden is Swedish. Hanna’s mother-tongue or native language is Swedish and her second language is English. “Like” is used a filler by people who are thinking of the next thing to say, which we use in our videos as well 😅 (we need to work on that for sure). For someone who is bilingual (Swedish & English) and working on her third language (Tagalog), we think Hanna’s English is great!
@@thewinedingdownpodcast okiedokie!😊 (your 'like' is acceptable, unlike Hannah's) BTW, I really love your channel and the 3 of U. You 3 speak so well and are all gorgeous!! 😘💕
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Hi Eve!
Well I'm aware I'm saying "Like" the whole time during the video, to my offense I was really nervous and excited lol. And I'm not completely fluent because I'm born and raised in Sweden. But u don't have to accept it, we all have our own opinions.
Happy to hear you LIKE my friends podcast, they are truly amazing people and wish them the best!🥰
Have a Blessed day Eve!
Also I spell Hanna and not Hannah, I'm not American, Im Swedish and we spell Hanna without the H😊
@@hannaleanders Hi Hanna! 😊 Point taken! 👍
I do wish U all the best and God bless you too. 🥰
Just a comment about Filipinos using the "N" word. The word "negro" literally means black in Spanish and it's interchangeable with "itim". My friends and I would say negro in a descriptive way as opposed to derogatory. But I get that it's not polite. btw there are aboriginal people who live in some areas called Negritos who are similar to those who live in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Hello! When we refer to N word, we’re not referring to Negro. We’re referring to the other word which has been used here a lot due to ignorance of the origin of the word.
@@thewinedingdownpodcast oh, really sorry that you guys get called that. Here I am thinking discrimination is a rarity here and learning it's not. Makes me sad 🥺
@@davidserrano596 It’s okay. That’s the main point of our channel to create awareness and a dialogue! I appreciate your comments and thoughtfulness! Salamat talaga ☺️
Although the N word is commonly used by African Americans in daily conversations to refer to one another but object when other people use it
Dangggg.. I was hoping she was viva max😥😥😥
Do you favor viva max to Viva? 🤔 If yes, would love to hear why 😀
@@thewinedingdownpodcast well, according to my horny mind, when i think of viva max, i think of titles like, "moonlight butterfly", "island of desire", "doblado", "pusoy".
Im sorry to disappoint! But hopefully you will watch my other projects still!
hahah, love the titles tho!!!
Have a blessed day🌸
Her beauty is pang bold starrr hahahahah 😂
@@raureacalaguas3667 let’s think before we comment po 😇
What do you mean N-word?
If a country adapts to different cultures, it will eventually lose its own..
Whitening product is not an issue of racism its a choice for wanting the product, does the product represent the country, that most of pinoy wanted to become whiter skin, its a big no! Its a person choice not by majority of the people, black or white skin in the country is not matter to us, its a persons insecurity in psychology
Correct 💯 I'm proud to be maharlikans 😊
"She's a Viva artist (Not Vivamax)"
LOL!
We had to clarify 😅🤣
Someone is into VIVAmax
actually if we Filipinos say the N word it is not derogatory. Most of us do not know what it connotes (slave history-wise) and we are merely using the word to refer to people with black or African descent.. Please don't get offended. However, Filipinos generally have biases to black people due to being colonized. Our standard for beauty has been so influenced. So please, pardon them. Ignorance it is
Hannah looks more Asian than European unlike Chase who has strong Caucasian features.
She's beautiful ! being too white ay nakakalula.😊
Filipinos used to eat dog in the 90s but it stopped and dog meat was banned for consumption… I heard Swedish people are really smart but I think they’re generalizing from old stereotypes that are not practiced anymore… maybe they were just thrown off by it because dogs are such friendly creatures.
As you get older, you'll understand why her dad married a Filipina.
For me she don't look like half Swedish..It's just like Pure Filipina..And her accent also it's just like Pure Filipino
What is the “N” word?
“N*gga”
Is that really the way Swedish people treat foreigners and people of mixed heritage? Be very sure. And of course, this lady is admired in the country, a country that very much favor those with white / fair skin that is why she is an aspiring model. White privilege she addressed..hmmm. Filipinos should stop glorifying people of fair skin.
Well, about the mermaid thing. who invented or at least conceptualize mermaids? Isn't it those Europeans or Westerners right? So what do you expect what they would make mermaids look like? Of course it will be look like them. right? That is just being me as the main character of my own story, was it wrong? For me? No! Now, if we wanna have an Asian mermaid or a black mermaid, then we create our own story or conceptualized something. It's like Adobo, for Filipinos it's better with rice. Now if you don't eat rice and you only eat bread, don't ask me to make an Adobo for your bread and shout "what about your representation". I mean, come on? Learn how to cook Adobo and cook it specialized for you bread. Right?
She's an actress? She doesn't look like one. I don't think she looks half either as she looks very Pinay.
Hello Yellow!
Im not sure how a "actress" should look like? Non of the actors or actresses I know (personally and the ones I see on screen) Don't look alike at all😊
Have a blessed day!
Baka ampon lang and using Swedish family name or her mom’s pilipino blood is too strong Indiomalay race 😂😂😂😂
@@hannaleanders Well, I don't mean to offend but you do know what I mean. She just doesn't pass the 'standard' when it comes to Pinay actresses (especially for lead roles)- slim and with beautiful facial features. I haven't watched TV for the past 17 years so the only way for me to see new Pinay actresses is through reading gossip sites. I guess I'm used to seeing actors with strong, very pretty "tisay" or mestiza face like Liza Soberano, Kristine Hermosa, Gretchen Barreto, among others. But if she's able to enter PH showbiz then good for her.
Pilipino is not racist for black
hahahh, "Ikaw Chong". Chong, ano na? Kaya ba dis shir?
Hahaha
My wife sees how as the mother of a mestizo son, with me or our son, she gets treated differently in stores...lots of "Madam...how can we help you madam..." Lol
I don’t think that’s because you have a mestizo son, they’re trained to be like that to their customers. I’m a pure blooded Pinay every time I go to shopping mall the sales person are always helpful, nice and friendly.
