昨天一段加拿大華人員工在工作時和同事用中文交流被客人辱罵的事情刷屏了很多人的微博。
這段視頻是被辱罵的華人職工所在的藥店同事Allen Tseng放到Facebook上,引發了很多國內外媒體關注。
The mother berates staff while standing at the register with her son.
一位母親和兒子站在櫃檯前,嚴厲指責工作人員。
「Speaking English in Canada,」 she screams at the female employee. 「You’re rude, you are rude. Go somewhere else.」
她對著女員工大喊大叫道:「在加拿大要說英語,你太沒禮貌了,簡直沒素質,滾到別的地方去吧。」
Most of the woman’s frustration appears to be with the pair speaking Chinese and her inability to understand what they are saying.
這位女性發飆,主要源於那兩個工作人員在講中文而她聽不懂。
She repeated claims that staff are being 「rude as f**k,」before getting her bags and storm out of the store.
她不停地控訴工作人員「真TM沒素質」,然後拿上她的大包小包從店裡衝了出去。
有這樣的「言傳身教」,旁邊的小男孩該成長為什麼樣的人??
Allen Tseng把這段視頻放在網上,配文的每個字都在說「生氣」!
「I just want to put this lady on blast for being extremely rude and racist. And hopefully show her there’s consequences to this type of behavior. It’s sad to see this sort of racism still in 2019 and in Greater Vancouver, BC, and Canada.」
「我只是想曝光這位無比沒素質和種族歧視的女士,希望她知道這樣的行為是有後果的。都9102年了。還能在溫哥華看到這樣的種族歧視真是悲哀。」
【注】put sb on blast: 公開讓人感到難堪,讓人感到丟臉Tseng explained that he had not seen what led to the confrontation but added that the woman was trying to assist with the matter when the mother screamed at her.
Tseng解釋說他不知道什麼引起了這次衝突,但是補充道那位母親開始狂叫的時候,這位女員工是想幫忙來著。
「The Asian lady was trying to help. She was asked to help by (a manager), but they spoke to each other in their own native tongue and that’s when the misunderstanding happened.」
「那位亞洲女士是在幫忙,經理讓她來幫忙,但是他們互相說著母語,然後就產生誤解了。」
「It made me feel sad for the employees that they had to be verbally harassed like that,」 Tseng added.
Tseng還說:「看見員工被那樣辱罵真的讓我很難過。」
On Facebook, Tseng shared grabs of various racist comments directed toward him for sharing the video. He quickly informed those telling him to leave Canada that he was born in Surry, British Columbia.
Tseng在臉書上分享了專門針對他的各種各樣種族歧視評論的截圖,他很快就讓那些讓他滾出加拿大的人知道他就出生在不列顛哥倫比亞州的Surrey郡。
direct at/toward someone:針對某人有時候racism也不僅僅針對亞裔或華人。
之前有一位同樣無知的女性也因為種族歧視「揚名天下」,甚至還為自己贏得了朗朗上口的外號「Move-in Martha」。
Martha這位女士看到一位男子(不是白人)和另外一位女性幫朋友搬家,果斷上去阻止他們,還要求他們出示身份證件,最後還打電報警…
人家是幫朋友在自己家搬家誒!
所以這位Martha在全網的外號就變成了「move-in Martha」。
梨子覺得,如果遇到種族歧視的情況,請直接說「You’re being racist」,然後報警!
