I know that £17K is a fortune in the Phillipines because my girlfriend is in fact from the Phillipines and has bought property back home through working hard in this country. Perhaps she knows me better and would be better qualified to answer if I make racist comments, or if I am indeed a racist.
It seems again that someone has decided to call someone else a racist to make everyone side against them!

So if someone from the local region had taken the same job for the same wages that would be ok?They would deserve the payout?But because this woman is from the Phillipines she is undeserving?Do you actually think that doesn't come across as racist?
Oh and I don't call people racist lightly.I do have a good idea what is racist.
