疫情期間,針對亞裔的種族歧視越演越烈,已經開始肆無忌憚,暴力傷害以至殺人的惡性事件此起彼伏。就在昨天,在亞特蘭大又發生針對亞裔的屠殺事件,造成8人死亡,其中6名亞裔。。。
爪哥做為為美國華裔維權的草根運動的急先鋒,看在眼裏,急在心裏。可惜做為華一代,俺的英文實在太差。在華人圈子雖有一定影響力,但華人人口僅占美國人口1%,再宣傳再呼籲,也是閉門造車,杯水車薪,效果甚微。所以,如何才能一呼萬應,達到振聾發聵的效果,引起美國社會大眾的重視,主流媒體的廣泛關注,還需要依靠英文,依靠英文寫作遠勝華一代的華二代。
我很欣慰地看到,爪閨女開始接過老爸手中的槍,勇於出頭,勇於擔當,並用實際行動為華裔,為亞裔維權。她積極參與的“Stop Asia Hate”活動,在Instagram,Facebook等美國大眾互聯網平台上,得到廣泛的支持轉載與讚助,並被媒體引用報道。
征得閨女的同意,我把閨女的article轉發到文學城來,希望叔叔阿姨們能支持閨女的行動,眾人拾柴火焰高,為亞裔維權,任重而道遠。千裏之行,始於足下。
為了自己的權益不被傷害
為了所有華裔的權益不被傷害
為了所有亞裔的權益不被傷害
為了所有少數族裔的權益不被傷害
也為所有美國人的權益不被傷害
這是爪閨女的artwork與article:
My artwork is inspired by my recent experiences being cat-called on the street for being Asian, hearing about members of my family's community being attacked/almost suffocated, and seeing new Asian hate crimes everyday, which have risen 150% since COVID-19 started.??
???
Vicha Ratanapakdee. Angelo Quinto. Juanito Falcon. Hanako Abe. These are some of the beautiful lives who have been lost due Asian American violence. Noel Quintana. Please Tadataka Unno. Zeqiang Chen. Michael Hsu. Zheng. Ying Ngov. Phyllis Chu. Subhakar Khadka. These are only a few of fellow Asian Americans who have been brutally attacked, robbed, or racially slandered. ?(NOTE: there have been more who have passed away after the creation of this artwork, so I want to also recognize the deaths of Pak Ho, Ee Lee, Christian Hall, Cindy Song, Joyce Chiang and more)??
???
Please Stop Asian Hate. The elders in my community are being targeted, and they are afraid to walk alone outside. Small Asian businesses are being robbed. See something, say something. Report Incidents. Check-in with your Asian and pacific islander friends. Stay informed and help raise awareness about what’s happening. Please remember and celebrate the legacy of the victims. During this time, please also celebrate Asian joy, uplight Asian artists, support Asian businesses and communities, and recognize Asian accomplishments.?
?
Also, for my fellow AAPI, it's important to remember our own biases and aim for collective healing, support, and advancement with all minority groups. This should be a time to be building Afro-Asian solidarity, not tearing it down. We need to dismantle the “me vs you” attitude and instead replace it with “us vs hate.” Let's show up, fight for, and empower each other.??

做為對叔叔阿姨們的答謝,貼一首閨女作曲自彈自唱的 daydreams...
回複 '槍迷球迷' 的評論 : 幫您查了點資料:
Reported hate crimes against Asian-Americans in 16 major U.S. cities rose by 149% from 2019 to 2020。。。

嗬嗬, 你這個引文我早就看過了。 文章沒說那些“數字”是怎麽統計出來的, 對不對?給出的是讓人無法驗證的數字,而不是無法更改的記錄在案的報案數, 警方起訴多少,判罪多少。 這是用統計來忽悠的典型手法。
不使用最簡單而且最有說服力的數字,恰恰說明沒有證據。 搞這個統計的機構是Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism,他們的工作就是高喊狼來了。 不搞點這種數字就得關門。
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.

你現在敢喊Asian Lives Matter嗎?
老夫願意為我們的下幾代,默默地鋪路。

Roy went on to criticize the hearing, saying: "My concern about this hearing is that it seems to want to venture into the policing of rhetoric in a free society, free speech, and away from the rule of law and taking out bad guys."
這些所謂"越演越烈”,隻需問一個問題:既然如此,有多少正式起訴呀?能找出報道的隻有一例加州女朝亞裔吐口水被起訴,還未必是種族事件。這些統計數字從來不用無法忽悠的警方記錄在案數字,起訴數字,定罪數字就知道全是忽悠。
種族衝突個案從來就有,將來還會有。這世界存在怪人瘋人遠不是社會問題。
本迷在美國三四十年,從來沒有受到任何種族歧視,過去沒有現在更沒有。連白眼都沒挨過。在美國連街頭吵架都沒見過。恰恰相反,美國給予各族裔最大的個人發展空間。本迷周圍的老中全都是當年來懷揣50美刀來到異國他鄉個人奮鬥達到中產階級頂端。什麽種族歧視?
話說回來,本迷一如既往呼籲老中買槍擁槍隨身帶槍。 加入兩千五百萬隱蔽持槍良民行列。犯罪總是有的。萬一遇到歹徒,槍可以自救也可以救人。
According to the NYPD, there were three anti-Asian hate crimes in New York City in 2019. That jumped to 29 in 2020 and seven already this year.
不過在時下的局麵她還能當GOP嗎。
