Kevin Nadal was explaining why ABC needed to apologize to the Filipino-American community for their joke during Desperate Housewives:

In the season premiere that aired Sunday on ABC, Teri Hatcher's character, Susan, goes in for a medical checkup and is shocked when the doctor suggests she may be going through menopause.

"Listen, Susan, I know for a lot of women the word `menopause'" has negative connotations. You hear `aging,' `brittle bones,' `loss of sexual desire,'" the gynecologist tells her.

"OK, before we go any further, can I check these diplomas? Just to make sure they aren't, like, from some med school in the Philippines?" Susan fires back.

Nadal told O'Reilly that one reason it wasn't fair to portray Filipino-Americans as less intelligent than average Americans on TV because (paraphrasing) "people who don't know what a Filipino is, people who live in the Midwest and South, will believe that to be true."

LMAO

Doctors in the Phillipines require a 2 year bachelor program then a 4 year degree. After that they are certified to treat. They can take advanced studies, but most don't.

About the equivalent of a Advanced Practioner Nurse in our country.

The joke is accurate and funny.

The national talking heads need to grow a backbone and not be offended by EVERY little joke written.

Except when it suits a group they detest. Then they defend it. Gotta love it. :)
