    Mock Filipino, Hawai'i Creole, and Local Elitism

    Pragmatics 21:3.341-371 (2011) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.21.3.03hir IS DAT DOG YOU’RE EATING?: MOCK FILIPINO, HAWAI‘I CREOLE, AND LOCAL ELITISM Mie Hiramoto Abstract This paper explores both racial and socioeconomic classification through language use as a means of membership categorization among locals in Hawai‘i. Analysis of the data focuses on some of the most obvious representations of language ideology, namely, ethnic jokes and local vernacular. Ideological constructions concerning two types of Filipino populations, local Filipinos and immigrant Filipinos, the latter often derisively referred to as “Fresh off the Boat (FOB)” are performed differently in ethnic jokes by local Filipino comedians. Scholars report that the use of mock language often functions as a racialized categorization marker; however, observations on the use of Mock Filipino in this study suggest that the classification as local or immigrant goes beyond race, and that the differences between the two categories of Filipinos observed here are better represented in terms of social status. First generation Filipino immigrants established diaspora communities in Hawai‘i from the plantation time and they slowly merged with other groups in the area. As a result, the immigrants’ children integrated themselves into the local community; at this point, their children considered themselves to be members of this new homeland, newly established locals who no longer belonged to their ancestors’ country. Thus, the local population, though of the same race with the new immigrants, act as racists against people of their own race in the comedy performances. Keywords: Hawai‘i Creole; Mock Filipino; Stylization; Ethnic jokes; Mobility.

Introduction Women and girls involved with the United States’ (U.S.) criminal justice system experience gender-based violence (GBV)1 at rates that far exceed the general population. Their experiences with GBV often start in childhood or early adolescence, and may continue through adulthood, producing lifelong histories of abuse. These violent experiences can influence involvement in criminal ac- tivity.2 They may extend throughout incarceration, as correctional staff emotionally, verbally, physically, and sexually abuse women and girls at high rates, or facilitate such abuse by other inmates. Many criminal justice involved (CJI) women reenter their commu- nities debilitated by their time and experiences in detention, and by laws that limit their access to public assistance due to their status as convicted felons.

ALBORNOZ2 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0079-3317 RODRIGO GÓMEZ3 https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9888-2993 During the last fifteen years, audiovisual industries across the world have undergone profound transformations (Birkinbine et al., 2017; Hesmondhalgh, 2018; Miège, 2016). More specifically, the creation and international expansion of audiovisual services in the digital arena by US-based companies has taken place. Their global aims have boosted transnational market penetration strategies that have taken advantage of the global architecture of the World Wide Web. With the exception of China, which prohibits their entry and has developed its own services, the rest of the world has seen how US-based transnational operators have begun to act in their markets attracting clients. Subscription video on demand (SVOD) audiovisual services currently lead this process. According to Statista (2021), there were 642 million subscribers to this type of service in 2019 –compared to the 508.44 million registered the previous year– and it is expected that they will surpass 1 100 million by 2025. Within this context, Netflix has become the main transnational company providing SVOD services, 1 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. [email protected] 2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain.
