海外中国人中的racism令人失望!

这也不是第一次了, 看BBS还有其他中国人的forum, 很多对黑人的评论都令人生气。 当然也不止一次听到中国人评论一个neighborhood是不是安全, 标准就是:黑人多不多?
言归正传, 回到中国人的BBS上:
mitbbs的politics直呼Obama为奥黑 (for God sake, he is half black! putting this as his name makes it as if that's the only thing important about him!)。 弄得我不爱看这些版, 本来对politics也不感兴趣。
可今天看我爱宝宝版, 也不知今天怎么了, 开始是有人讨论要不要把宝宝的衣服送到洗衣房去洗:
有人回答:

显然不能用洗衣房
看见很多老黑,鞋子直接扔洗衣机的
赶紧买洗衣机
海尔的就行


为什么要专提出老黑?因为潜在里, 他们觉得黑人脏? 本来看到这个我觉得就算了, 说话的这种人没水平。 可是过了一会儿, 又有人提出讨论如何给孩子起名, 有人回答:

英文名还得征求土生土长的老美的意见
最好和中文名读音或者意义相近,当然没有联系也没关系
避开黑人常用名和宗教色彩,地域性太重的名字
尽量用美国人所熟悉的名字

这个帖子可笑的不止一处, 避开黑人常用名, 用美国人熟悉的名字, 也就是说黑人不是美国人。 只有美国白人才是。只要白人认可这个名字, 就是个好名字。土生土长的老美?是指印第安人吗?显然不是。她眼里土生土长的老美是欧洲移民过来的白人。
Scott说出来一个good point, 这个版的英文是Next Generation。 If we are hoping the next generation of Chinese to be able to immersed into the diversity of the US, we better start educating our kids not to be a rasist first! We all love China and want to China to be the greatest country in the world, but if we present ourselves as racists to Non-White Americans, how could we prevent other people not to be racists against us?
准备发起一场运动, 做一些力所能及的事改变这种现象, 因为有了baby, 对这个问题的看法提到了议事日程, 做母亲的本能力量是无穷的, 再加上Scott关于Baby Movement的说笑, 就称这个运动为Baby Movement吧。

  1. Hi, lao guan’r,

    Don’t be bothered by these random talks by these invisible people online. They say whatever they want; you live your wonderful life! Concentrate on baby “Gwen Kai”:-)

  2. Hi Bella!

    Have you considered putting up parallel-text posts? I know it would be twice the work, but from the bits and pieces in English in this particular post, it looks like it would have been very interesting, and I'd love to read it.

    But that's just a suggestion. Your blog, your rules. Congratulations on the new human! I'll be checking in, and am looking forward to getting updated until I can be there in person!
