“Californian Filipina”? Did you know Filipina is Polish in origin and means friend of horses? Also, if you go familysearch.org and key in the just the first name Filipina on a search you’ll find various European woman coming up with that name over quite a few centuries. Sarah refers to herself as part Filipino. I find it odd Rachel you refer to yourself as English yet, Sarah who’s nationality is clearly American (California is a state) gets the odd label listed above. You wouldn’t refer to Helen Mirren as an actress. Filipina is sexist and smacks of colonialism.
Hi Ann,
Sarah is very proud of her heritage and in-fact refers to herself as Filipina Californian (see http://www.urbanwit.com/about/). It’s important that we depict people in a light that they agree is acceptable, reasonable and true, and we would never apply a title, description, or insinuate a fact relating to one of our respected contributors, without their prior approval.
Bex, this is lovely written 🙂
Also, on a side-note, I loved the fun fact that you mentioned Sarah’s background. Being multi-culti (mixed) is fantastic!
Thanks for the nice feedback.
