delive_rance has sent me an email apparently thinking i am filipino. can you please translate this? i include the english portion so you can understand the context if needed. thanks!!

You are an arrogant SOB a typical Filipino. Pinoy ka nga. Kung nasa express way siguro tayo baka binaril mo na ko and obviously will defend yourself telling the media and the police that it is my fault and you are a blameless person just passing the street.

but the question is still there?

i have had the same girlfriend for 3 years. i'm white. she is filipina. we live together in the philippines. she is about half my age. why is it that everyone on yahoo answers assumes that filipinas go out with white older guys for money or to escape the philippines? i'm not taking her out of the philippines. i live here. i am staying here. i dont give her any money. she has her own job and can pay her own way.

my situation is far from unusual. foreigner friends i have also are in similar situations. Why do filipinos assume the girl is only with us for money, to escape the philippines or (as they often shout in tagalog to her) that she is a prostitute?
