>>46037092>So they have this split personality between "WERE FUCKING AMAZING" and "EVERYTHING ABOUT US SUCKS" at the exact same time.>You'll often see this with the types of people in America that flex how Filipino they are while having absolutely zero ties to the culture.This is pretty easy to explain. Fil-Ams like the clout that comes with being ethnic to other Americans and appealing to Pinoy Pride back in the homeland, but at the same time, lots of them have this weird complex where they constantly feel the need to justify their decision to immigrate. In reality, your average native Flip probably knows more about Korean or Japanese culture than Fil-Ams know about Filipino culture.
Also, on the Ubermensch thing, not even meme-ing, it's a leftover of the American period where we really bought into the "little brown brothers" thing, and thought that being the US' teacher's pet/guinea pig made us more civilized than everyone else. It's actually fascinating, it took a while after independence for us to really accept we were Asian lmao.
>t. Flip>>46037681Yeah, I find our self-hating countrymen to be the most unpleasant to deal with, more than foreigners who just out and out hate our country for some reason. I used to effortpost on /his/ but that place is basically an /int/ satellite with dates now.
