Hey, Stateside Kababayans, COLONIAL MENTALITY is ABNORMAL

Hey, Stateside Kababayans, COLONIAL MENTALITY is ABNORMAL

David and Okazaki (2006a) conceptualized Colonial Mentality (CM) among Filipino Americans as a form of internalized oppression, characterized by a perception of ethnic or cultural inferiority that is believed to be a consequence of centuries of colonization under... Spain and the U.S. It involves an automatic and uncritical rejection of anything Filipino and an automatic and uncritical preference for anything American. CM is conceptualized as an individual differences variable on which Filipino Americans likely vary in the levels of their endorsement. It is a multifaceted construct that may be manifested in a variety of ways by Filipino Americans.
