I may be immodest. but I believe I am answering these arguments on this bill. We have heard it remarked about Americanizing the Philippines. Mr. President. you can not Americanize the Filipinos. They are not our kind of people. they are Asiatics. They live in a different climate. they do not need shoes such as we wear. they do not need stockings such as we wear. they do not need all the clothes we wear in this country. they live in a different climate. They are just as well off and better off barefooted than we are with shoes on. they do not need them.
Identified stereotypes
Filipinos are described as fundamentally different and unsuited to American culture and climate.
