This is for humor. And humor should be taken as it is. Opinyon ko lang, masyadong OA ang negative reaction tungkol dito.

Hi, I’m English and know of this program.
The problem is that you haven’t got the joke. I appreciate that British humour can be hard to grasp for people not from the UK.

The target of the joke is the middle class white guy, the scenario highlights his naive ignorance and inherent racism. The main candidate for the racism is actually the Northern guy _not_ the Filipino maid, she could easily be replaced by any other nationality, she isn’t the point.
The joke is that the middle class white guy is treating his northerner as his pet and doesn’t realise how terrible his actions are.

Note that British humour inherently pokes fun out of British people themselves. I encourage you to watch things like The Office, Brass Eye and Peep Show. The point of these shows is to follow an inherently flawed character and to laugh at them.

I also encourage you to visit the UK, we have one of the most multi-cultural capitals and aside from the odd ignorant bastard we are very ANTI-racism. Racism is actually a bit of a public taboo in the UK these days, being racist is utterly unacceptable in most social circles here.

the truth hurts………
alam kasi ng mga filipino dun na totoong nangyayari un doon kaya react sila to the max.
kahit dito sa saudi maraming ganyan.
sabi nga sa mga jokes eh
“kuya
dahan dahan lang kuya”
kung ipinalabas man un sa tv im sure hindi nila ginegeneralized na lahat ng dh eh ganun kundi may mga dh na ganun. yun lang un.

Bull crap. Look at Wowowee and other game show in the Philippines where filipina has to dance like whores. Everyone there is ok with it. Whenever a foriegner is involve we go sensitive and start to attack. BS
