Complaining about sagging pants with zero other context (the race of the kid is never brought up in the thing posted) really does not sound inherently racist. It sounds more like an out of touch old person complaining about KIDS THESE DAYS than anything else

You're being way too sensitive.

DAVAO CITY – President-elect Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday blamed corruption in the media and irresponsible reporting for the killings of journalists in the country.

In his first press conference at the presidential guest house in Barangay Panacan, Duterte recounted the killing of a broadcaster in Davao City to stress his point.

Duterte said the broadcaster was murdered because of his alleged irresponsible reports and connection to political operators who paid him to attack public figures.

He said it is a sad reality that some reporters are accepting bribes to attack or defend politicians or public officials.

“It’s not because you’re a journalist you’re exempted from assassination if you’re a son of a bitch,” he added.

Duterte said the freedom of expression enshrined in the 1987 Constitution will not protect reporters from assassination if they are corrupt or careless in reporting.

Philippine president-elect Rodrigo Duterte was on Thursday accused of sexual harassment and disrespecting women after wolf whistling at a female journalist on a nationally televised media conference.

Duterte, 71, interrupted a question from television reporter Mariz Umali on Tuesday night about his cabinet appointees with a light-hearted comment about her trying to get his attention, before wolf whistling and breaking into a short serenade.

Umali continued trying to ask her question as Duterte smiled and some other reporters laughed.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Saying journalists “think too much of themselves,” President-elect Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday lashed out at the media, and told those who were calling for a boycott of his press conferences not to cover him.

“Kill journalism in this country. Stop journalism in this country, if you are worth your salt. If not, then I will think lowly of you. [That would mean] that you are cowards,” Duterte told reporters in Davao City.

Asked later for clarification, Duterte backtracked and said he did not mean to say the country, but stop coverage in his city in response to the boycott call by the international journalists’ group, Reporters Without Borders.

“I cannot stop you,” Duterte said.

“I was saying, you idiots, do not threaten me. I said I’m ready to lose the presidency, my honor or my life. Just do not gently caress with me,” Duterte said.

Amid an international backlash over his remarks justifying the killings of corrupt journalists, Duterte expressed no remorse.

“Go ahead, boycott me. I’m urging you: Make this trip your last to Davao City. I do not care if no one is covering me,” he said.

“I’m telling the networks, do not come here. I do not need you… I would ask the Cabinet to avoid you,” he added.

He told reporters to just cover him through the state television network, or a website where his administration would post information.

The President-elect was apparently incensed at global criticism that he had drawn for his statements on Tuesday night, when he said one journalist was killed not because of his profession, but because he was corrupt.

His camp said on Wednesday that his statements were misinterpreted, and that he was not justifying the killings of corrupt journalists.

Duterte laid down his classification of journalists: the “crusaders, who bare all to the public,” the “mouthpiece of vested interests,” and “the lowlives.”

Saying he had been “very careful” about his statements, Duterte refused to apologize for citing the case of Jun Pala, the journalist killed in Davao City in 2003.

“No apologies. Bullshit,” he said.

He hit corruption in journalism, telling the reporters, “It’s about time we bared each other. Let us not deny each other the truth.”

“Almost everyone is asking. I just don’t want to talk. All,” he said, adding that he himself had given money and favors to journalists.

On the campaign trail he made a joke about wanting to rape a “beautiful” Australian missionary who had been sexually assaulted and murdered in a 1989 prison riot in his hometown of Davao.

When his daughter reacted to those comments by revealing she had been raped, Duterte described her in jest as a “drama queen”.
