Shadow Families Minister Donte Hunt called for all Bermudians to speak out against the scapegoating of foreigners after finding graffiti on the wall of a Filipino’s home.Mr Hunt said ‘Filipino Go Home’ was scrawled on a house rented by a Filipino expat, the latest in a string of anti-foreigner messages spotted across the Island.Previously, backbencher Dale Butler has hit out at anti-Filipino graffiti near the home of guest workers from the Philippines, while Hamilton Mayor Charles Gosling has condemned similar incidences around the City.In a statement released shortly before the Cup Match holiday, Mr Hunt called for Bermudians to stand up to “increasing acts of scapegoating”.The St George’s South MP stated: “This morning I came across fresh graffiti on the wall of a residence rented by a Filipino expatriate. It read ‘Filipino Go Home’.“This is not an isolated incident. A few days ago Mr Dale Butler made a comment about the phenomenon in the House of Assembly, and the press has carried pictures of anti-foreigner graffiti in other locations.“This situation cannot be left to go unchallenged and unchecked.“The Bermuda I know and love is not reflected in the cowardly, fearful words popping up around the Island.“There are connections throughout history between economic hard times and the targeting of minorities and outsiders, some becoming human low points, and I want us to steer clear of that dangerous ledge.”Many foreigners are said to be working under poor conditions for wages Bermudians will not accept, because life in their homeland was so undesirable.Mr Hunt continued: “While we understand the economic pressures people are under, there is no excuse to abandon decency.“On behalf of my colleagues in the One Bermuda Alliance, I call on all Bermudians to stop for a moment to consider the nature of what is happening and to speak out against the scapegoating of Filipinos or anyone else.“Bermuda is a welcoming Island and that must always prevail, especially in hard times. Only by maintaining the spirit of inclusiveness and togetherness can we make a better society for all. Without it, we will never get there.”Useful website: www.oba.bm
