This scene depicts the a reversal of Darwinian evolutionary theory in which the Filipino is seen as devolved species in comparison to the übermensch.

Shadows of Prejudice

2024-02-01 02:22:11 UTC

It is depicted clearly by the scene that Filipinos are excluded, because other countries have this preconceived notion that they are better than us, which reminds fellow Filipino people that beyond a shadow of a doubt, we have always been subject to hate, discrimination, and prejudice throughout the history, up until the present time.

In the disturbing sequences of "Kasmala," members of a tribe are not only handcuffed but also made fun of by being compared to monkey evolution, highlighting the extremely unpleasant content, and a sign of the growing discrimination against Filipinos.

Kasmala’s Discrimination Scene

2024-02-01 09:21:15 UTC

Discrimination can be observed throughout a lot of scenes in the Music Video of Boy Group Alamat in their old song, “KASMALA” Particularly in Time 0:51, the guy is seemed to be pushed while being thrown money. To me, it kind of tells the story of the OFWs’ specifically the discrimination and the abuse they experience to which they ignore for the money to give to their families in the Philippines.

KASMALA- Discrimination towards the Filipino Natives

2024-02-01 10:07:18 UTC

In this particular scene, we can easily notice and identify the discrimination towards the filipino natives. KASMALA’s concept was basically rooted from the 1904 St. Louis’ world fair wherein hundreds of Filipino natives were transported internationally to show other people that these kinds of culture and tribes are existing. We can clearly see on this particular scene the symbolism of Filipino Natives getting paid for entertainment purposes.

This picture depicted how American colonizers began sending hundreds of American teachers to the Philippines in 1901, known as the Thomasites, and how the curriculum they developed was designed to monopolize people's minds rather than provide a meaningful educational experience.

Kasmala - Filipino Discrimination

2024-02-01 15:00:15 UTC

Throughout the start of the 21st century, an increasing trend of Filipino diaspora communities have been working their lives in America, Europe, etc. With this in mind, this particular scene in Kasmala showcases how, despite our intentions to work for our families, the sad reality is that most overseas workers are often deprived of fundamental human rights and are being taken advantage of.

Stereotype

2024-02-01 16:06:36 UTC

This scene is a stereotype of Filipinos by the colonizers. These colonizers saw Filipinos as pushovers and easy targets, which is represented clearly by this particular clip. There is also a minor detail wherein the guy was holding a hoe that signifies that there is a stereotype that Filipinos are "just farmers." This is why I think it is essential to learn our history because I believe the best way of learning is by learning from our previous mistakes.
