A man from a country located in Africa is very much different than an American man who is of African decent.
I made friends with a Black American man in Philippines last year. We spent three days at the same small resort and became friends. He was treated the same as any other American as far as I could see. The kids called him “hey Joe”. I noticed he go a lot of attention from the local gals. He was treated well because he was a nice guy who had money just like the rest of us Kano's. It had nothing to do with skin color.
IMO Filipino people are not racist. A Filipino will always put family, clan, religion, and other Filipinos first.

 

During my time in SU,there were students coming from nigeria,ghana,kenya and middle eastern students ,they get on well with local population.I knew that coz few of them lived near my aunt in Daro.Infact few of them have filipina gf's too .Locals do accept and welcome foreigners regardless of skin colour.

 

As long as they don't eat us for dinner, we get along fine :>)

 

Dont think racism is an issue unless you are worried about it! So dont worry, migrate and enjoy the life that the Philippines brings!

 

There is a different kind of Racism in Asia, and Asia is very Racially divided with specific hierarchies. Speaking now of only asians without anglo/euro/ afros in the equasion. goes someting like this with room for interpretation based on which Asian group you might be a member, or where you live.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malay peoples, including then the Philippines. Might be better descibed as cultural bias, as technically Asians by popular definintion are one General race. Still, skin tone is a component.
This might be of value when visiting or living here.
