Transcript: “Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Cause I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”

Uhm... like what is this? Is this an acceptable desperate housewives script aired over the US and a few select countries airing the said show? Is there such a moderating body in the US that check every DISCRIMINATORY remarks made by the said show?

I think there isn't, because you all know what? It reached the news of the country that the said show discriminates! How dare the producers and writers of that show to include that demeaning and derogatory line Teri Hatcher had said? Are they too stupid enough to not even think that most of their health care workers are Filipinos! First and foremost can they present valid evidence that Filipino Medical Doctors are way too incompetent as compared to their doctors? Was there a scientific evidence that proves their claim?

The Philippines may be a third world country that faces a lot of global issues, but how dare them (the script writers) think that they're far too superior than the rest of the world combined! Not all the time, a first world country can produce the best of the crop, sometimes even third world countries does and it's far better!

If they think that the said line stirs a lot of media exposure then definitely it does, but at the expense of dragging a negative connotation on the people or a certain nationality that is affected. If however, they (the script writers) think that the said line is a means to say that's just some sort of American Pun, well then the said racist remark is far unacceptable as a pun, and it should definitely be retracted!
