There’s this song by a comedian called DJ Bumbay. Most Filipinos find it funny though even I’m not Indian I find it disgusting as it is culurally insensitive. But the song sums up the Filipino stereotype. If you’re curious, search for “DJ Bumbay” in youtube but be prepared to be offended. It is really offensive.

Isn’t it odd that despite the obvious Indian inluence in the native culture, most Filipinos are so cluless about India. I guess, for the past centuries Filipinos have been preoccupied by fascination for Europeans…now it’s the fascination for Korean pop culture.

BTW, there’s also this stereotype in the Philippines that Indians drive scooters/motorcycles and are notorious money-lenders, locally known as “five six”
