Oh girl, half the people on here opposing that Filipinos are racist are doing so bc they are Filipino and defensive. Let me tell you, as a travel nurse I've worked in 9 California hospitals. There is a large population of Filipino nurses in California hospitals. They will ban together and cut you down. I've seen it in every hospital and have also heard it talked about. They give each other better assignments and will do anything they can to throw you under the bus. I do not know what other races did to them to deserve this treatment, but if you are a minority on a unit of Filipinos, it's a lost cause. You are also right about if they make nursing errors and are unsafe, they will cover each other. It's so wrong.
