Not that I am against foreigners. I am not.
It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I see caucasian talents being used to "sell" an aspirational ad geared towards the Filipino teen market.
Can we not use Filipino talents to "sell" a concept of aspiration? When are we going to be comfortable in our skins? When will the Malay color be associated with something to be aspired for in this part of Asia?
Or maybe the minds of those creative people are so defaulted or hardwired to their colonial state that they can not seem to be aware that they are in that state? That they, instead of building the next generation's pride and identity, continually perpetuate this pride-sucking and emasculation mantra of the past? What kind of education did they receive to continually enslave the next generation to this colonizer-friendly "default"?
There will come a time when that "logic bubble" will end. The creative people seem to forget that that end can start with them :- )
"... why think like mere men?"
