What Is Racist In Tagalog? (Answer)
RACIST IN TAGALOG – Due to the cultural divide and lack of context regarding certain sensitive issues, some Filipinos can be considered a bit racist.
Traditionally, Filipino culture consists of lighthearted banter as a means of getting close to another. However, this banter could come from a place of ignorance or could come up as inappropriate.
Sadly, we can’t deny the fact that this sort of issues are prevalent within the Filipino community. For example, when foreigners come to the Philippines, they are often made fun of because they are different. Furthermore, stereotypes are placed on them, inappropriate names are used behind their back and many more.
But, what exactly does Racist mean in Tagalog?
The definition of racisms is obviously present in the community but most people don’t know its translation in Tagalog. For the most part, “racist” can be translated into “Mapag-aglahi” or the Spanish-borrowed “Rasista” derived from the Spanish word “Racista”.
Here are some example sentences:
- We need to stop being ignorant and racist to foreigners that enter the country.
- Making fun of someone’s appearance based on what country they come from is racist.
- We don’t have to justify the actions of a racist.
In Tagalog, these sentences could be translated as:
- Kailangan nating ihinto ang pagiging ignorante at mapag-aglahi sa mga dayuhan na pumapasok sa ating bansa.
- Ang iinsulto sa itsura ng isang tao base sa bansang kanyang pinanggalingan ay isang uri ng pagiging rasista.
- Hindi natin kailangan bigyan explanasyon ang mga kilos ng isang rasista.
