Saddening that they’ve stereotyped Filipinos as maids. While it’s a reality, that line from a drama just made it sound even more degrading. A certain Twitter user @kthseokkity on Tuesday went viral after expressing her thoughts over a line by the male lead in the first episode of the drama titled Make My Heart Smile.
“You look like a Filipino maid,” the actor told his leading lady who was trying out different clothes that didn’t meet his approval.
The tweet of athea went viral on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
According to Netizen @itstaekookjin, “Agree. They never know the real story behind Filipino Maids and how they sacrifice themselves just to provide something for their families. They just effortlessly stereotyping Filipino as maids.”
I’m not working as a maid here at saudi pero nararanasan kong maglinis ng bahay ng amo ko if ever needed ng help ko so atleast konting respect din sa mga filipino workers, maid or not.. hopefully magapologize yung nagtranslate nian..

“misinterpretation or not, the one who made the sub should be clarifying things about this. it is an insult especially for filipina hardworking maids here in the philippines. it feels like they are judging their looks because of doubling their effort to earn money,” said Netizen @berryshuuu.
