US ‘Filipinx American US History’ course debuts at Seattle Public Schools middle and high schools

‘Filipinx American US History’ course debuts at Seattle Public Schools middle and high schools​

Local community members gathered to celebrate the new Filipinx American U.S. History course, which is now offered at the middle and high school levels of Seattle Public Schools (SPS).

Leaders along with several students, family and friends gathered at Hood Famous in the Chinatown-International District on Oct. 14 to celebrate the course created by the local Filipino community and current Ethnic Studies program manager Alekz Wray, reported South Seattle Emerald.

The course was introduced as a part of SPS’s expansion of the Ethnic Studies program. The schools previously announced LGBTQ-plus, Arabic, Black and American Indian studies courses.

“It was really important for me to make sure that this class was not a product of SPS. This was a product of the community that has been living this history, because who’s telling the story is super important. This was the Filipino, Filipina, Filipinx American communities’ story to tell, and because the community still has ownership over this curriculum, they’re still able to empower and uplift and keep this as a living curriculum,” Wray told South Seattle Emerald.

Dr. Third Andresen, a University of Washington Seattle professor who played a vital role in the creation of the curriculum, said the focus of its development was intersectionality.

“Students going through ethnic studies curricula find themselves empowered having that self-confidence … a lot of people start to get to know themselves,” Dr. Andresen was quoted as saying. “It increases the probability of college access and the probability of graduation.”

The event featured lively music and Filipino food, such as arroz caldo, ube cookies and calamansi juice.

According to Seattle Public Schools spokesperson Tina Riss Christiansen, there are currently 11 students enrolled in the virtual Filipinx U.S. History class. There are also reportedly a couple hundred eighth graders who will be taking the class this school year.

Students who were present at the event shared some of the Filipinx history they learned in the classroom.

“It’s really special to be here at this event, especially for Filipino American History Month,” Jennilee Policarpio, member of the Filipino Community Health Board and National Alliance for Filipino Concerns, told South Seattle Emerald. “Youth and students really need this perspective of their own history, to further be better citizens in our community.”

“Filipinos are contributors in any community they go to, so this class will be for all of us, by Filipinos,” Wray added. “I’m really excited for students to be able to take this class and to really challenge the master narrative.”

Yup, just about every filipino immigrant I've met are willing to bust their ass to make a buck. I'd trade a dozen sleepy beaners or feral joggers for a single pinoy laborer.

The only people pushing "filipinx" and "latinx" are woke white liberal faggots.

Yeah and I feel the answer is fairly recent family history. The Phillipines is by and large a harsh nation to live in. You work or you die. Hawaiians were used to a laid back society until hyper inflation made it so that pretty much only the rich can live happily.

Last time I visited a hospital basically half of the nurses I saw were Pinays.

 

[Clown College 2nd Year]

Hasn’t that been said about almost all x-Americans ?

Yes but flips have the stupid thing of celebrating successful hafus or 2nd generations as if they actually lived in the Philippines.
omg pinoy pride world wide blabla strongest race blabla.

Actually thinking about it I've see this shit happening in other SEA countries too.

This, my mother is from Mexico and I have no idea what being Mexican even is. I can empathize somewhat with some of the struggles that they go through in third-world countries at the same time I really don't have any idea what's it like. I grew up in a specific time and place here in the states and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I decided long ago that I was American and that that identity would supersede all others.

I really don't understand what it is with alot of 2nd gen. peenoize here in the states that can't really take the fact that they're Americans pure and simple. They can't seem to coexist with both cultures in their heads and hearts or something. I would say a lot of the younger 2nd generations have been grossly influenced by modern woke and entitlement politics. Again I'm grateful I grew up when I did and didn't have to deal with any of this shit.

The sad reality is, when Flips congregate on an area, they inevitably bring with them the broken culture that has left their motherland "the sick old man of Asia."

Also this when I married my now ex-wife the whole "utang na loob" hit real fast and put a strain on our marriage early on. That and the "saving face" thing inhibited her from being able to take care of herself in certain ways that American women would never deal with.

Filipinos are subhuman. Do not give an ounce of mercy to them. I'd wish for a time where peenoise are sent to camps, Auschwitz style, in the near future.

Tell me more about flips and why they flop.

 

[D_Tractor]

Well, they gave us butterfly knives, which are pretty fucking cool. On the other hand, they also gave us really ugly women. Seriously, I've never met a flip woman that was even remotely attractive. So I guess they gave us those two things.

Those were most likely invented by the French.

 

[Tacgnol]

They kept Journey going when Oh Sherry Steve Perry started acting like a drama queen. So, at least they're better than portagees.

Tell me more about flips and why they flop.

History summary.

Pre-colonial: Your usual tribal shit, tribe leader (datu) with commoners/freemen (timawa/maharlika) and slaves (alipin) with various other tribal classes shit. Same old shit seen in other pre-colonial crap. Even before, there already hints of Chinese fuckery among the ranks.

Spanish-American-Jap-colonial era: Spaniards colonized flips, flips became disgusting niggers of the society as Spaniards took over. Niggers tried to revolt, failed one too many times. Many cultural shit in the mainland are a result of Spanish intervention, so nothing originally started from Flips carried over. America colonized, except Spaniards sold Flips to Amerimutts rather than fight. America suggested various shit, but ended prematurely thanks to Japs. Japs raped Flip-slaves. Gained independence after WW2.

Independence-shitstain era: America left, gave the tools to Flips after gaining independence, but if you learned from giving niggers freedom of their own nation, they fucking suck at maintaining it. Architectural plans/societal plans and other shit suggested by US was ignored. Flips tried to do shit on their own, but money came in the way and corruption started way before the Independence of the country. Each presidential "term" was filled with corruption and people were still poor as fuck. Got worse with Marcos and the crony culture where people had to suck dick to gain benefits from shitty president (which would become the norm in the country post-Marcos). Current country is in a confused identity crisis as many people are divided between retard zoomers consoom Kpop/tiktok/anime/leftist-feminist shit, crony-fuckers taking tax money for self-gain, Chink fuckers and historians trying to save face from a shitty slave race.

Just like niggers and slaves, Flips are flops to the human race. High illiteracy rate, unemployment galore and a fuckton of Chinese/leftist dicksucking.

 

[Mothra1988]

Actual filipinos fucking hate the term filpinx probably 5 times more than latinos hate latinx. Like it literally makes them angry. I don't know why the SJWs can't let these go, but Commiefornia gotta Commiefornia I guess with their white libtard mandates for everyone else.

 

[Coldgrip]

Those were most likely invented by the French.

Ugly women or the knives?

 

[Gottahavemysips]

I think it's high time 'pinks and 'tinks become slurs. It's perfect, it's literally being handed to us, with that hard 'k' sound. I'm sick and tired of the fucking 'tinks illegally entering our country. I'm sick and tired of these retarded 'pinks coming here from their shitty little archipelago and acting like their Elliot Rodger looking ass is somehow special.

 

[ZazietheBeast]

Also this when I married my now ex-wife the whole "utang na loob" hit real fast and put a strain on our marriage early on. That and the "saving face" thing inhibited her from being able to take care of herself in certain ways that American women would never deal with.

Flips value two things. Their family and their pride. And those two tend to be quite interlinked in why they become prone to retardation. At an early age, they are taught to be proud of their country. Which is noble but at the same time it makes people think that the shithole state is its natural and traditional form. Which the reality is far from it.

Then you have family. The great part about Flip families is that under the right conditions, they will do what they can to support each other through sickness and health. But that's the best case. The typical case however is that Flips are exploited like slaves by their elders. And when the child tries to rebel, the family tends to use emotional blackmail in order for them to comply. Reminding them of the good times and the value of family as they use that to capitulate. This is pretty much why Flips in general are vaxxed to Hell.

Flips in general are people you can easily get along with but carry their own baggages that stem from a dysfunctional country.

There's also the massive amounts of pre-colonial kebabery going on.

Filipinx sounds like a fucking slur.

Filipinx sounds like a fucking slur.

I mean it kind of is if you think about it...the white leftists have decided your language isn't up to their standards so they're changing it on your behalf.
