We call white people ''puti'' it means white, it's not meant to be racists because it's also a word to describe color white.
"Itim" but it isn't a racists word either. It's pronounced e-tem for english speakers.
The word negro exists either but it's used to described negroes oriental which is a island in the philippines.
"Weeabo" is not really a racist word but it's used to describe white people who try to become Japanese.
It's equivalent to wiggers it's a word to describe a white person who's trying to become ghetto black. Lol

Kano isn't racists, it's more like a slang. it's just that there is a lot of Americans in the Philippines that's all.
What's of those words doesn't sound racist at all.
fair enough, we should start calling Chinese in our lands foreigners.
