Katherine Ryan Attacks Filipino Children on BBC Mock the Week TV Show

Canadian comedy writer and actress Katherine Ryan is currently getting tons of hate tweets and messages in social networking sites mostly from Filipinos who find her joke about Filipino children rude and disrespectful.

The racist comment happened during one the the segments of BBC Mock the Week TV Show where Ryan used Filipino children when asked to say unlikely lines from a cosmetics commercial

"We dont test any of our product on animals ...we use Filipino children." Ryan said.

In response to Twitter user @FilipinoScribe, Ryan defended herself by tweeting:

@Kathbum Hi there! Your recent appearance in Mock the Week has apparently angered some Filipinos. Any comments? http://t.co/4PA3IeUMw2

@FilipinoScribe If you'd watched the whole show instead of reacting to a still shot out of context...

@FilipinoScribe ...you might feel that I was criticizing the EXPLOITATION of children. The joke is never, ever ON children. Watch the show.

@FilipinoScribe Still, that clip is out of context without understanding the full nature and tone of the program. Thanks for your reply.
