荷兰广播电台(荷兰电台播放辱华歌曲遭5万人联名谴责)

新冠肺炎疫情暴发以来,世界多国针对华人和亚洲人的歧视行为时有发生。

2月7日,荷兰电台radio10播放的侮辱歧视性歌曲在网上流传,视频中节目主持人Lex Gaarthuis 跟着音乐手舞足蹈,歌词将华人和冠状病毒联系起来,警告听众远离中餐,引起众多荷兰华人的愤怒。

2月8日荷兰当地华人正式发起了以“我们不是病毒”为主题的全国请愿活动,在不到5天的时间里征集到超过55000人的签名。请愿声明中质问道:

“Why are there people like the people at Radio 10 who dare to connect a serious virus with people of Chinese origin and those who eat Chinese food?”

“怎么会有像Radio 10节目组这样的人竟然把一种严重的病毒与华裔和中餐相提并论?”

“You don’t joke about an illness, or a virus. Would you laugh if the song was about cancer?”

疾病或病毒,根本就不应该被拿来开玩笑。如果这首歌是关于癌症的,你们也会觉得好笑吗?

并要求:

-Radio 10电台正式道歉

-政界采取行动制定方案反歧视

-媒体承担社会责任,做符合媒体素养的报道

截至3月4日,该请愿书已获得约5.8万次签名。

在请愿声明的发起人当中,Marco Jacobs是个土生土长的荷兰人,2月7日当晚他就协助华人媒体,帮忙翻译歌词,并校对和翻译了请愿活动中的申请文书。他说当时从朋友那里听到Radio 10事件时真是要气炸了!

“有句歌词真的让我非常气愤, ‘het is allemaal de schuld van die stinkende Chinezen’意思是这些都是那些臭中国人的错,我完全震惊了,谁会这么想?”他说。

“In the song, they used a sentence that really upset me, they sang: ‘het is allemaal de schuld van die stinkende Chinezen’ which means as much as it is all the fault of those smelly Chinese. I was utterly shocked, who would think of something like this?” he said.

Marco随即敦促他的华人朋友们站出来抗议这种歧视。

Marco在中国生活了11年,期间他在北京语言大学完成了本科和硕士研究生阶段的学习,能熟练运用中文。2014年Marco回到荷兰,现在他是当地的一名荷兰语老师。

“自从回国以来,我就一直跟周围的人讲有些话是伤害和污名化华人的,但是很少有人听进去我的这些话,因为人们只是把这些伤人的言语当作笑话,他们认为这是言论自由。”

Since my return to the Netherlands, I have been telling people around me that certain remarks are hurtful and stigmatizing towards people of Chinese descent, but I was not often heard as people only saw it as a joke and a right as they saw it as a freedom of speech.

“对请愿活动的最初反应也是这样,人们指责荷兰的华人侵犯言论自由。但是我认为言论自由是需要我们珍惜的,不是用它来随意伤害和指责别人,煽动种族仇恨。

The first reactions towards the petition were also like this, people were accusing the Chinese people in the Netherlands of infringing on the right of freedom of speech, and as I think freedom of speech is something we need to cherish, it is not a blank check to hurt people, to blame them and to instigate racial hatred.

他说在过去的几周看到了一些针对荷兰亚裔无礼言行,比如朝他们脸上吐口水,对小孩大吼冠状病毒,将亚洲老人从自行车上踹下来。

Over the last couple of weeks, Marco said he has seen behaviors against people of Asian descent in the Netherlands, such as spitting at people in the face, yelling coronavirus to little children and kicking an old Asian man from his bike.

在Marco看来,此次新冠病毒疫情凸显出了对中国根深蒂固的偏见。从一开始这种病毒就被称为中国病毒或武汉病毒。这激发了不同社会中潜在的种族仇恨,而这种仇恨的根源在于无知

According to Marco, the COVID-19 virus shows the deeply ingrained prejudice against China; from the beginning, it was called the China virus or Wuhan virus. By calling the virus China virus it flamed the dormant racial hatred in different societies, this hatred finds its roots in ignorance.

Marco希望能够凭借他的语言和文化背景,将中国人的心声相对完整地传达到当事人一方。

在Radio 10事件中,电台和Lex Gaarthuis都对此事道歉,请愿活动也得到了荷兰媒体的广泛关注,当地主流媒体NPO1电视台在晚间黄金档节目De Wereld Draait Door播放了关于该事件的访谈;荷兰公诉机关就此事件展开刑事调查

Marco说:“尽管我们面临着种族主义和歧视行为,但我想强调的是,在这个国家,也有很多人反对这种行为,他们欢迎你,希望成为你的朋友。”

“Although we have faced some acts of racism and discrimination I would like to emphasize that in this country there are also a lot of people who oppose this behavior, who welcome you, who want to be your friend.”

他说,疫情暴发后,中国展现出了作为世界大国的责任和担当,各行各业在抗疫中做出了极大牺牲,中国人的决心和精神让他坚信中国一定能战胜病毒。

“我想对在中国的朋友们说加油,战疫终将胜利。”

“To my friends in China, I would like to say, stay strong. The battle against COVID-19 will be won.”
