Pinoy bigotry on US primetime TV

I posted few months back about the bigotry of OFWs made by a socialite-writer. And now another bigotry on Filipino medical practitioners specifically doctors. And this time it was on Primetime TV in the US, where a lot of Filipino doctors and nurses work. I'm glad I'm not a fan of Desperate Housewives. If you are, I know you've seen the Sept 30 episode. I just heard this on the news this moring.
Dr. Mayfair told a visibly terrified Mayer that the word “menopause” seems to open a Pandora’s Box for the age-conscious middle-aged woman. “They hear ageing, brittle bones, loss of sexual drive…” said the doctor who was cut midway from his explanation by an agitated Mayer. “Before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? ‘Coz, I just want to make sure they’re not from some med school in the Philippines,” she said while searching for the doctor’s records.
