The Good Immigrants (They Not Like Us): Why Filipinos Voted Trump

Ricky and Manolo get deeply personal as they explore what it truly felt like when Ricky became a US citizen in 2019 during Trump's presidency. This isn't just facts and dates; it's raw emotions, complicated feelings, and the harsh reality of how many Filipinos voted for Trump believing the "model minority" myth that they were somehow "not like" other immigrants.

Both hosts dig deep into this painful irony: achieving citizenship under a president whose policies targeted immigrants, while some in their community thought they'd be exempt. They examine this false sense of exception and how personal milestones get forever tied to political moments. It's vulnerable, honest, and unflinching.
