who could give me a good answer?

another question to society, this time to the so-called "middle" to "upper" class.

in this school, or at least, within my circle of friends, there is usually a mindset about the population of the philippines. sort of like a less-restricted caste system. there is usually the "politician", then the "uber-rich", then us, then the much-maligned "jologs".

jologs. jologs. can anyone come up with a good etymology for the word?

probably everyone i know is associating the term with something bad; something they don't wanna be. but then, what or whoever gave us the right to label these people? because we're better off than them? because some of them work under/for us? and then, there is a perception among some people i know that some thing depreciates if it's something popular with the masses. why? because everyone is talking about it? because it's considered in mint condition if only a sacred few know about it? yeah, i understand that typical masa music is plain bad (i.e. novelty songs), but i've known some to have better taste than that.

they're human. they have feelings. please. they may smell bad or look bad and stuff, but they're just as human as you and i.

this discrimination is no worse than when white people were discriminating african-americans back then. (well, okay, slightly less worse. but it's still there nonetheless.)

look, i suffer from this syndrome as well, but i'm also aware that they're people, too. they don't deserve to be labeled.

i may be in the wrong here in some parts. if i am, tell me. but i still stand for the belief that they don't deserve to be discriminated, labeled, and associated negatively.
