In last night’s episode (09-30-07) of “Desperate Housewives” on ABC, Susan Mayer, a neurotic character played by Teri Hatcher, insulted those who got their medical degrees from the Philippines.
The scene was where Susan Mayer asked for the credentials of the gynecologist who examined her and then told her about the possibility of menopause. She then responded with:
“Can I check those diplomas ‘coz I just want to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.”
If you found this offensive, make some noise!
