What Pinoys are Tweeting about Nita Negrita

Beyond the fan girls who would sell their soul to trade places with Barbie Forteza, who else is tweeting about Nita Negrita?

GMA should stop turning a blind eye and address the obvious... the show is smack offensive. I hope Nita Negrita starts trending tomorrow on twitter big time, so the whole world will know about this racist show on Philippine TV.

@SuperSenyorita it took a century for filipinos to consider being morena/moreno beautiful. now this shit happens! #nitanegrita #offensive



@fornicat Local media is sending horrible mixed msgs.

@ericaparedes Seriously @nitanegrita, as if pinays don't have enough issues and self loathing bec of their skin color.

@ESPJoven It's not bcoz you turned a tisay starlet "black" that you can pass it as a half african-american. That Nita Negrita of GMA s really stupid!

@guiengarma @waybeyondfear 's tweet on GMA's Nita Negrita has inspired me to do an essay on prejudice against different people and the mass media.

@_the_cab How can MTRCB allow a show so racist like Nita Negrita? It's straight up discrimination and a "blackface" actress as the lead? C'mon.

@jumpnjoey16 I don't understand why we still have shows like "Nita Negrita". It's politically incorrect. No ... let me correct that - it's racist.

@jumpnjoey16 You know what's going to be horrible? If the show Nita Negrita is filled with commercials of Whitening creams.

@breathofreshair Just saw the trailer. So distasteful! #nitanegrita

@apester71 #nitanegrita. No need to know the show's premise. The title alone is awful

@manilamommy its racist to use a #blackface. Haven't this show's researchers looked up its history?

@SuperSenyorita My Filipino pride went into hiding after seeing @iamnitanegrita's poster! #gma7isstupid #nitanegrita #offensive

@sjborgueta wonder how long it'd take for #nitanegrita to go trending. :)) racist comments all over. surprising we'd react to the show this way, really

@alaparedes #nitanegrita Let me guess, at the end of the series, she becomes white?

@katwhoa Really GMA7? #NitaNegrita is one of the most offensive things to put on TV. Bunch of racists.

@deansavoy 'Blackface' as Entertainment on Philippine Islands TV show called Nita Negrita - translated as Little Nigger Girl :(

@biancaconsunji It's official: Philippine television is back in the stone ages. #nitanegrita

@pitradactyl: Nita Negrita. Everything I hate about Filipino media, rolled into one teleserye.

@joannazuniga it's black history month and GMA is releasing a blackface character named nita negrita. #fail

@atheista Nita Negrita makes me ashamed to be a Filipino. SHAME ON YOU GMA7

@candicequimpo Just saw the HORRENDOUS #nitanegrita billboard http://www.twitpic.com/3yhjk7 (via @carlosceldran) -- it's so offensive!!! Pull the plug!

@corkescrews Now little dark kids will have a new moniker with which to be teased—"Nita Negrita". Thanks for your contribution to society @iamnitanegrita




@ayliya I was teased "sunog mong balat" in my childhood so this Nita Negrita is really insulting. Way to damage kids with stupid beauty standards.

@acejmnz racist daw masyado yung new soap ng GMA na Nita Negrita. hahahahahaha!!! --- totoo yun. nagreact din yung kulay ng balat ko!!!

@_psychoCOW_ Everybody, may Twitter account ang Nita Negrita! We can tell them what an offensive, stupid, racist show they're planning! @iamnitanegrita

@manilamommy Nita Negrita reinforces our mentality that fair is beautiful and those who are not are kawawa. Ay nako.

@ganns Not that I'm joining the bandwagon, but yes, I, too, am offended by the premise of Nita Negrita. Yes, I will join the product boycott.

@matthewutitco yeah, just when we are moving towards equality and non-discrimination, here comes a soap such as nita negrita.

@RAndRat Wow. Nita negrita? And here I thought we pinoys are so racially sensitive, what with all the whining about remarks made by foreign celebs.

@Urooooo They gave the role of Nita Negrita to someone with fair complexion. Actually kahit yung idea ng tv show ay very racist. :|

@Jacs_Will_Rule I don't understand kung papaano, sa dami ng tao sa GMA, walang (o walang may say na) tumutol sa Nita Negrita? SRSLY?!
