If you are old enough, you would remember this controversial chocolate. And yes, if you aren't old enough, a company in Europe called their chocolate FILIPINOS.
Now why is this my choice of topic? Coz Filipinos (the people, not the chocolate) easily get offended, but never realizing they are worse at discriminating. Until today, we still use terms like ne**o to refer to anyone dark-skinned, bu***y to refer to anyone from the country of India or South Asia, or Ching******** to refer to anyone with small eyes.
It's still a social dilemma up until now because people laugh at it like it is normal to discriminate people based on their appearance, like skin color is a good measure of someone's intelligence or capability. It is not. It can never be.
