Pinoys demand apology from BBC for racist Paul and Harry episode (YouTube video)

6 October 2008

I first heard about this issue while driving on my way home this afternoon. I was listening to Karen Davila and Victor de Leon - Lima's Pasada Sais Trenta over at DZMM when I heard them interviewing Congresswoman Hontiveros regarding an episode in a BBC televised comedy show. The comedy show is called Harry and Paul. The episode, entitled "Mating a Northerner" , showed a Filipino maid ordered to seduce one of the stars of the show, called the Northerner. The Northerner is then ordered to "mate" and "mount" the maid. It is obviously a case of racist stereotyping against our OFWs who have to serve as domestic helpers abroad. Pinoys in UK are demanding for an apology from BBC. Follow the link to watch the said episode.
