someone from the forum i belong with gave me the answer.

you may not know it but i have draft post in this site on our plan to migrate to another country in the near future. and what a coincidence that the country where this forummate of mine come from is the same country we eye to build a new nest for our family--new zealand. but the plan still remains a plan as we never made a serious effort to apply in its consulate office here in makati. even i myself doubt our interests to leave the philippines and settle for good in a foreign land. i have a lot of questions and apprehensions which i wanted to address first before we take the first step.
i never thought racism still exists in that country and i've never given this a thought. but if it's still do exist, even how isolated that case may be, then i would never entertain the idea again of migrating. as the author of the blog said, we adults can take it. i think i can take it for myself. but i definitely won't take it for my son and his future sibling. no one can cast stones on my kids even how fair their skin may be. no one also has any right to categorize my son an inferior class just because of his heritage.
if that's what it takes to have a cleaner environment, a nicer house, a colder climate, a better future though it's not certain then i think i can forego them all together just by knowing that my son is a first class citizen on where he lives.
