近期美國因為黑人接連遭到白人警察欺壓而讓種族平權意識高漲,也因此「種族歧視」這個議題被所有民眾廣泛的正視,不僅僅是白人對黑人的歧視,還包括了美國白人對華裔人士的排擠現象,正義感十足的香港男星吳彥祖,最近就懸賞了一筆錢,希望能逮到一起在紐約種族歧視案件的兩名犯人,一起來看看吧!

# 「種族平權」意識高漲

5月底時,一名叫做喬治佛洛伊德(George Floyd)的非裔美國人遭到警方壓頸致死的案件引發了全美的憤怒,不少知名人士及民眾紛紛走上街頭抗議,並舉出了「Black Live Matter」的標語,希望各界能重視「黑人平權」的問題。

在群情激憤、風波還未完全平息的時候,美國威斯康辛州基諾沙郡(Kenosha)又有一起案件發生,一名非裔美國人布萊克二世(Jacob Blake Jr.),遭到兩名警察背後近距離連開7槍的事件,再度點燃了全美民情的怒火,全美各地又掀起了抗議種族不平等的示威行為,美國職業籃球聯盟NBA的球員甚至因此對季後賽罷賽,希望用他們的影響力來讓外界正視這個種族平權的議題。

也因為黑人接連遭到欺壓的案件不斷發生,讓各界都開始重視不僅僅只有「黑人平權」,而是所有民族的歧視問題。

# 華裔老婦人遭攻擊+點火

在美國紐約市布魯克林區,7月時發生了一起欺壓華裔人士的犯罪案件,有一名高齡89歲、居住在Bensonhurst的老奶奶遭到兩名陌生男子的攻擊,這名老奶奶不會說英語只懂粵語,這兩名陌生男子先是當街對著老奶奶賞了巴掌,之後又在她的背上點火,所幸老奶奶及時逃走並靠牆壁熄滅了火勢,才沒有造成太過嚴重的傷勢。

 

# 吳彥祖震怒懸賞緝凶

這起「歧視華裔人士」事件引起了當地華裔社區的撻伐,居住在美國的香港男星吳彥祖聽聞此事後更是大為震怒,不但指責了種族歧視,更在個人Instagram上懸賞了1.5萬美元,希望能緝拿這兩名犯案的男子,曾參加《中國有嘻哈》、華裔美國饒舌歌手歐陽靖也加入了聲援亞裔社群的行列,如今緝凶懸賞金以提升至3萬美元。

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators that attacked a 90-year-old senior has increased to $30,000. After seeing reports of the attack in the last few weeks, actor Daniel Wu has pledged an additional $15,000 to match the $15,000 reward fund established by the board and friends of Homecrest Community Services (HCS) and musician MC Jin. “I was appalled when I saw the news that a 90-year-old grandmother was struck and set on fire in a racially motivated attack,” said Wu. “This attack must be classified as a hate crime and be treated that way by the police department as they continue to investigate. “We all need to stand up against hateful actions like this and bring the perpetrators to justice,” he added. “That’s why I’m offering an additional $15,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of these individuals.”HCS, which provides services to seniors and immigrants mostly in south Brooklyn, first found out about the attack through community members. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, HCS was a key distributor of meals to seniors, and created specialized meals for Asian seniors. The non-profit organization launched a petition and reward following the attack to shine light on the increase in anti-Asian bias crimes. “As we continue to work with law enforcement on investigating this crime and classifying it as a hate crime, it is encouraging to see support for our efforts,” said Don Lee, board chair of Homecrest Community Services. “We thank Daniel Wu for his support and generous donation. We are hopeful that this increase to the reward will encourage more people to come forward with information on those behind this attack.” “The only way we can instill change is to work together. Keep raising awareness,” said MC Jin. “Keep using your voices. We will be heard.” Sign the petition to #EndAsianHateCrimes in the bio.

# 華裔種族歧視也需要被重視

因為多起白人警察欺壓黑人事件的爆發,讓「黑人平權」受到各方關注,但不僅僅是黑人,華裔人士在美國也時常受到各式各樣的有形無形的歧視,儘管因為時代在進步,種族歧視不像過去那麼明顯,但根深蒂固在某些人心中的優越感及種族不平等仍舊存在,這需要你我一起重視這個議題,才有可能真正改變。
