Talk:My Family's Slave

Is Lola a "slave name"?
I think we should be careful to avoid African American connotations of slavery when discussing this case, and I find it dubious whether the nickname Lola could be described as a "slave name". It might be the case that such a nickname had nothing to do with her status in the family. Her servitude, which started in the Philippines decades before she came to America, took place in another cultural setting. I don't know enough about Filipino culture to say for certain whether a term such as "slave name" is meaningful in a Filipino context. A big difference between African American slavery and her story was that her servitude had nothing to do with "race"; she and the Tizon family belonged to the same ethnic group and were even distant cousins. --Tataral (talk) 16:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Filipinos use titles or names such as "Tito" (uncle), "Tita" (aunt), "Ate" ([big] sister), "Kuya" ([big] brother), "Lolo" (grandfather), and, in this case, "Lola" (grandmother) when they address someone they do not know or is older than them. The person addressing and the person being addressed may or may not always be related.180.232.71.202 (talk) 03:53, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

The Randy Ribay quote
The lengthy Randy Ribay quote seems somewhat random and WP:UNDUE in my opinion. It has become very dominant in the article, with its length and the way it is formatted. I think it would be better to summarise it more briefly as part of the body text. --Tataral (talk) 08:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
