I agree with Conrado de Quiros that there's nothing offensive about the Inday jokes. I think, they are just simply irritating (just imagine receiving texts about Inday more than thrice a day - definitely irritating).
Complaints about the jokes could've been based on the context of irritation rather than seeing them as means to degrade Filipino/Filipina helpers. They could've have also complained on the money and time wasted on forwarding these jokes.
Ah, "The Inday Chornicles" has managed to gather more than enough followers that it has been adapted on TV - Bubble Gang (Hindi kaya sila ang gumawa ng lahat-lahat ng ito?).

Read on De Quiros's reflection about the Inday Jokes. Just like Inday, there are a lot of Filipinos who are constrained to take jobs of which they are overqualified. Sad but true
********
And again, stop sending me the Inday Jokes. I’ve received more than enough.

You should check out "Jeeves and Wooster" starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Conrad mentioned it. You just need to get used to the accents first.
Yes, I SHOULD really check that out. Good luck, sana maintindihan ko.
Yo! I agree with you, i find nothing offensive about the Inday jokes though. makulit lang yung mga hirit ni Inday pero hindi naman nakakadegrade. at tama talaga si de quiros, truth is, maraming mga graduate dito ang nauuwi sa mga trabaho kung saan overqualified sila... haaaayzzz
Because people need money, some are constrained to get a readily available job even if they're overqualified. If there are good-quality jobs, sometimes they're simply unqualified due to high-standard qualifications (sometimes unfit naman to ask for).
