講兩件真事兒:
1. 幾年前,四嫂與閨女在費城被幾個白人潑皮當街罵“go back to China “。
2. 幾年前,我們新州的一個年輕的福建籍餐館老闆在送外賣時,被一個黑人歹徒直接用槍暴頭。
針對華裔以及亞裔的種族歧視與暴行,historically,在美國屢見不鮮。這與是否白人黑人西裔還是其他人種無關,而是與社會大環境有關,尤其與川普這個滿嘴謊言的美國有史以來最爛總統有關。
川普為了掩蓋自己在控制covid-19疫情方面的無能無知,剛愎自用,傲慢愚蠢導致的total failure,在大庭廣眾之下一口一個惡意的“China virus”,試圖把美國老百姓對其不滿與憤怒引向China,引向Chinese。嘿嘿,在種族主義者(不僅僅是白人至上主義者)眼中,Chinese,Chinese American有區別嗎?HELL NO!別說Chinese American,所有Asia American這次一起背鍋,都成了被川普煽動起來的種族主義者泄憤的對象。
人類幾千年的歷史,尤其是德國納粹史告訴我們,一旦種族仇恨的潘多拉盒子的蓋子被打開,弱勢民族弱勢群體將陷入萬劫不復的深淵。
Reported hate crimes against Asian-Americans in 16 major U.S. cities rose by 149% from 2019 to 2020, while overall hate crimes dropped 7% in the same time period, a study published by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism showed. https://reut.rs/3lrUiGH
【Anti-Asian racism】The human rights committee in Congress held hearings on anti-Asian violence today with witnesses of law makers, scholars, Asian-human rights activists, and victims. Anti-Asian violence and racism has over 200 year history in America. Since the pandemic appeared a year ago, there have been over 8000 anti-Asian violence incidents, 34% in California and 17% in New York City – the second highest in the country. A spike of anti-Asian violence occurred in the past several weeks, including six Asians killed yesterday in Georgia. I hope you all keep alert and safe. Take good care of ourselves.
全體華裔應該明白,你在種族主義者眼裡,永遠都會是黑頭髮黑眼睛黃皮膚的Chinese, 永遠都是劣等民族,永遠都是被欺侮的對象,period
反對種族歧視,需要從我做起,從現在做起!
