回复: 谈谈我对种族差别以及因此带来的歧视的应对
歧视或者说偏见当然无处不在。但我个人所感受到的,与其说是对特定族裔、肤色的歧视,毋宁说是对不良品行、习惯的歧视。
我办公室有一西人同事,个性开朗直爽,和我相处的不错。某日我偶感风寒,结果。。。。。。。谈话记录如下:
It's kind of hard to bring up, but I wanted to make sure that I spoke to you about it and not someone else.
I have noticed that you have been clearing your throat quite loud at your desk...and I know that a few other people have as well...It seems to be a little bothersome to people in the office. I know everyone has to do that once in awhile, but I don't want anyone to be upset with you about it.
Just between you and me, I think it would be a good idea that you maybe go to the washroom when you have to do that.
Everyone loves you around here....you fit in really well, but I thought I would mention that just so that you know.
You're a friend....that's why I let you know. I would hope that someone would tell me if I was doing something that might bother people.
这是歧视吗?这是对华人的歧视吗?我一点也不觉得。相反,我认为这是来自朋友的善意提醒,并为有这样的朋友而庆幸。
当然不是所有西人都会这样nice的对待在我们身上表现出来的一些“不良”的行为,更多的时候他们只会暗暗的打上一个标签:You Chinese!
不要埋怨这样的行为,我们自己难道就没有在心里给别人贴过标签?你们这些河南人!你们这些棒子!你们这些阿三!更何况,我们身上难道就没有让人讨厌的地方吗?
理解它,正视它,战胜它。
