In college, a classmate of Asian descent questioned my intentions in wearing a hat with "Flip" on it, as I guess that is a derogatory slur used to reference Filipino ppl. Once I explained it was a skateboard company, all was good -- it does make sense considering the movement of our boards -- but it was definitely something I had never considered.

Tim Gavin is a putanginamo as well

Story so good it made me want to bust out my hats with explicitly anti-Filipino slurs on them

[durga]

literally made an account for this.
lived in the philippines for a few years (born american) and skated and met a ton of people out there

some good locals were Makel Feliciano and Motic Panugalinog.

Motic skates for Zero and Cariuma along with other local brands so he’s kinda relevant ig, pretty big lead in the scene there too. Mak skates for more local brands and he’s definitely not as huge but i’ve met the guy and he’s definitely super good at skating and worth a watch.
Oh another one is Demit cuevas, he’s pretty solid too

Motic is definitely relevant man. He’s a fucking killer on instagram, if I could only follow one skater on ig it would be him. Guy’s raw as fuck, I aspire to skate like him. Don’t know where I’m going with this I just love motic so much

That funny you say that because my family is Filipino and he was buying me and all my cousins Flip shirts when we were younger. I’ve never heard that it was a derogatory term.

[EdLawndale]

It might can hit different when a white person says it or sports gear repping it. All I know is, if I ever attend some sort of Pinay/Pinoy celebration or block party, I'm deffo gonna leave the Flip hat at home to be respectful. Black ppl outside of skate culture have vocalized offense to me for wearing Ghetto Child and Chocolate hats (and women with Girl clothing) before as well. So I just try to be cognizent of being respectful when it comes to race/religion/gender/LGBTQ matters.

genuine question, is the word chocolate on it's own without context considered to mean 'black' in the U.S?

[bob george]

also more on the topic, there were heaps of first generation australian filipino kids around my local area when i was growing up, not so much anymore, but they were very natural skaters and absolutely ripped. i wonder where they all went..

not really. using chocolate to refer to the color is common, and it has been and is still used in the context of black people but would probably be considered weird/kinda racist if a white person said chocolate to refer to a black person's skin in most circumstances even though its not really weird when black people use the term
