Jing-Jing Romero

During the opening scene, Collette's character stated " Nobody invites Filipinos to parties" Referring to her Filipino maid in the movie, she said that "her English is terrible. I am not even sure that she speaks Filipino" This is extremely offensive to the Filipino people. I am a Filipino physician who is a naturalized American citizen. Most Filipinos speak excellent English as it is the medium of instruction in our schools. This movie is not only misguided and poorly researched but also vulgar and pathetic. The statements are racist, demeaning, and disrespectful to us a people. I urged the makers of this movie to issue an apology for such blatant racism. I stopped watching this movie as soon as I heard these offensive statements. I urge everyone to boycott this excuse of a comedy.
