Pero itong sipi mula sa artikulo niyang "The myth of the cultural minorities" ang nagpatibay sa aking paniniwala sa kanyang mga pahayag:
"When the Americans usurped the Spanish colony and discovered this dichotomy, they were a little embarrassed about words like conquered and unconquered because of the rhetoric of their democratic Constitution. They preferred to think that imperialist imbalances were created not by aggression but by natural scientific order. They therefore quickly produced an explanation for Filipino variations which was not very different from that old creation myth about dark races having been left in the oven too long, and others having been taken out at just the right time.Samakatwid, produkto ng imperyalismo ang teoryang ito. Kaya dapat nang huwag ilagay sa mga aklat pampaaralan ang tungkol sa teoryang ito. (May nakita pa akong mga aklat na nagpapakalat ng Wave Migration Theory nitong Hunyo 2013.)
"The American creation myth was called the Wave Migration Theory.
"According to this Theory, the Philippine archipelago was peopled by a series of waves of migrants, each of which was superior to the one that preceded it. First came the pygmies--short, black, and primitive--in other words, as unlike Governor Taft as possible. Then came a wave of slightly taller, lighter, and more advanced people who drove the earlier ones into the hills by their natural superiority. And so on, wave after wave, until the last best migration of all--those whose descendants were so advanced they could appreciate the advantages of submitting to American rule."
Down with imperialism! :-)
