If I may gently chide you, Biggy, hon...the problem isn't with Philapinnos...it's with *this* particular group of nonworkers.
If I may jump ethnic groups, my husband used to be a food and beverage director in Southern California. That means he has a good working vocabulary of "kitchen Spanish." Phrases such as "lazy ass Mexicans" make his Slovak face turn pretty colors. He's actually had workers that he's had to tap on the shoulder and say "No. I'm serious. You're done. Go home. Manana." He's had employees that would literally work until they dropped in a puddle of their own sweat. Does he have stories of the other kind? Of course he does.
Painting with too broad a brush is never a good idea.
The only two Philapinno workers I know well enough to comment on have extremely strong work ethics. They're also bright, sexy and fun to have around.
