In a letter to the editor, the author has expressed how a Chinese notion of ren is a powerful tool to negate the stigma of racial discrimination among Asian people. I would argue that within the Filipino psyche, the notion of kapwa or “shared self” can be an equivalent socio-normative ideal that can be utilized towards not just countering the ill effects of social discrimination but also fostering deep communal and group solidarity among people, regardless of race, color and ethnicity.
