I've been living in the US for about 4 1/2 years now and migrating from the Philippines, I could relate to what you guys said about Filipinos about being cool and jerks at the same time.
One of my few friends whom is also a Filipino immigrant, I know him for 3 yrs now, just called me yesterday and asked me a favor if I could lend him my car because it was his girlfriends anniversary or whatever. His Corolla CE needs to have a brake replacement that's why he was asking me a favor. --- The funny thing is this is not the first time he asked me if he could borrow my car, he even asked me one time to pick up his mom from work because he himself is at work. I then realized too that everytime he calls, it's always about doing favors, which obviously got me agitated now whenever he calls. I mean this guy is my friend but still there's a side of him that I really don't consider "good breeding." I'm not saying that I'm perfect and saying this made me realize that I myself was like that too a couple of times. But to say because "he is Filipino" I think has something to do with it since we as Filipinos have experienced it here or back in our country and it is a way of life that we were accustomed to. Now I try to watch my actions and blend in the American way because, it is a fact that I am in America, my car has become my inspiration to work to the very best i can without stepping on anybody. To end this up, I learned that it is not about the race which defines a person, there are assholes in every race, though some stereotypes can be true and it is hard to differentiate yourself from that unless you really get to know the person.
