American Slaves

One time, I stayed in my eldest sister's house and had a little bonding with her and her family especially her husband's brother, Tim. Now, Tim is an African-American, 40-something male. I call him Uncle Tim because of his age.. (hehehe). At one point, he told me he is going visit the Philippines and he asked a lot about the Philippines. I told him a lot about our country (the people, the culture and assured him that he will not be called a Negro when he come here because the Filipinos are very respectful people). He asked it there are taxis, or is he going to eat anything aside from balut, he asked if there are bars, and other "entertainment centers". He asked me some basic stuffs which actually troubled me because it looked like he is looking down on Filipinos. So I decided to take any chance of rising the morale of the Filipinos in his sight. So when he asked me if there is Pizza Hut in the Philippines, I told him, "Yes, there is Pizza Hut in the Philippines and we actually have American slaves to cook for us there." He said, "Oh come on.." "Yes that's true, Filipinos don't know how to cook pizza so we just hire American's to cook for us. (I said with a grin)." Upon hearing this, my sister burst in laughter and when Tim asked her if it's true she said, "yeah it's true Tim. We have American slaves there, cooking our pizzas for us." :-)
