They have it easy. They forgive you if you don't submit your projects on time. In school, teachers are biased towards the prettier people. security guards follow you if you don't look nice enough. If you are not blessed with white skin, if you don't look pretty, you have to work 100 times as hard and still get the short end of the stick. If you demand what's due you, people tend to look at you from head to toe. It's the reality. Look at the people who populate the the higher ranks of companies. The pretty ones get all the breaks. Advertisers exploit this reality in our society. unfortunately sa Pilipinas if you look pretty and are a mestiza you get away with almost anything. They have it easy.
