China Overseas Chinese Network, March 31. "Europe Times" recently published a review article to discuss the phenomenon of racial discrimination that has occurred in Europe and the world, and discuss the struggle of the Chinese in anti-discrimination, and show that the fight against the epidemic and the anti-discrimination are mutually exclusive. Associated situation.

　　The article is excerpted as follows:

　　On March 24, the Paris Grand Court heard the case of a tweet that was circulated on social media after France’s second lockdown of the city in October last year. Five French students between the ages of 19 and 25 said they were right. The resentment of "closing the city" was vented on the Chinese, and as a result, they were accused of racial discrimination and provoked hatred and brought a lawsuit.

　　According to the process of the trial and the feelings of those who participated in the lawsuit, the court may not impose any severe sentences on the college students who are still studying, but regardless of the outcome, this trial has important milestones---that is, discrimination against Chinese, Insulting and attacking Chinese is a crime both on the Internet and in reality, and will be punished by law.

This is also very enlightening for the surging wave of anti-discrimination against Asians in the world.

If the result of this trial is not so satisfactory, it also indicates that this trial is not the end of Chinese anti-discrimination, but a beginning.

Anti-discrimination will be a protracted battle against the epidemic.

　　Discrimination against the Chinese has a long history, but this phenomenon has not attracted enough attention.

From the 1980s when some people called the Chinese "Yellow Hand Party", to the beginning of this century some theaters had the headline "Chinese and Dogs Are Not Allowed". In recent years, the growth of Wenzhou Chinese businessmen has been smeared and slandered by the Western media.

With the rise of China, the Chinese have been labeled as "mobile teller machines" and robbed by violence. These are actually manifestations of racial discrimination. However, due to the low volume of Chinese protests, these problems are often regarded as "individuals". Phenomenon, "coincidence" or "social security problem", and conceal its essence.

　　Since the global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the old virus of “racism” has exploded. From the United States to Europe, these racists are fighting open fire, and there are more and more verbal and physical violence attacks against Asians. Americans are used as scapegoats, and incidents of discrimination and attacks are increasing day by day.

In France, there have been many cases in which Chinese people are attacked by viruses.

The French National Institute of Population Research (INED) reported in May last year that the new crown pneumonia epidemic "brought Qiu Ya's racial discrimination to a new level."

The incident of using the Internet to attack Chinese and discredit China on October 28 last year on social media was not a source of water, but no waves. It was the result of some malicious media including some politicians deliberately guiding and dumping the pot.

In the final analysis, these guiding, dumping behaviors and remarks are also a kind of racial discrimination gene revealed from the bones, and they are only "inspired" by the new crown virus.

　　Chinese Americans, including Asians who are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, have long followed the traditional Chinese culture of "difficulties and hardships, the jade ruined for success", "the poor will only be good at one's own body, and the great will benefit the world". They often give back to the society after they have succeeded in their own business.

The legal wealth they obtained through hard work must not be an excuse for racial discrimination to attack them.

The tolerance and conservative qualities of the Chinese are also regarded as "soft persimmons."

Some Chinese rights defenders pointed out that it is a blessing to suffer a loss, and the mentality that more is worse than less is also one of the reasons why Chinese are discriminated against and not taken seriously.

The French police pointed out that judging from police statistics, there are no crimes specifically targeting Asians.

The deviation of this statistical data and our psychological feelings is related to the lack of actions by the Chinese to take up legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests in the past.

　　In fact, the Chinese anti-discrimination struggle has always been accompanied by the phenomenon of discrimination. Every time there is a case of discrimination against the Chinese, some overseas Chinese have risen to fight.

In particular, the "anti-violence and security" demonstrations launched several times have attracted the attention of the French government and society.

The recent court verdicts on some violent robberies against Chinese have also taken into account the "aggravating circumstances of racial discrimination."

These remarks and violent attacks with obvious features of racial hatred have also aroused public anger in Western society.

After the incident of racial discrimination on social media last year, the speed of police action has never been seen before.

It is also the first time that more than 100 members of the National Assembly issued a joint letter in the "Liberation" to express their solidarity with the Asian community.

On the 24th, a number of elected officials showed up to support the anti-discrimination actions of the Chinese, which also shows that the angry shouts of the Chinese are being heard by everyone.

　　But we are also soberly aware that even though discrimination against the Chinese has been paid attention to, it is far from being a "climate".

In France, racial discrimination is an insurmountable red line in the values ​​of the Republic.

France has very strict anti-racial discrimination laws, and many celebrities in France "convicted of words".

Former French Minister of the Interior, Brice Otver, was sentenced by the Paris Criminal Court to a fine of 750 Euros and 2,000 Euros for mental damage due to racial discrimination in his conversation with a North African Arab French youth in 2009; Former French State Secretary Jean-Vincent Pracey used racist language in a bar in Paris and was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment with probation. The French talk show actor Dieutonne was sentenced to anti-Semitism for many times. He has been sentenced to as many as 15 times for his remarks; Galliano, the chief fashion designer of Dior, was fired by Dior for making racially discriminatory remarks after drinking, and was fined by the court and paid to victims and anti-racial discrimination groups. Spiritual compensation... But the strange thing is that it is easy to be guilty of discriminating against other ethnic groups, and it is easy to be "accepted" for discriminating against Chinese.

This phenomenon can no longer continue.

　　Although the anti-discrimination rally held in front of the Grand Court of Paris on the 24th, perhaps due to the epidemic, not many Chinese participated. Unlike the protests held in multiple cities in France in June last year, the ethnic groups targeting African-American groups occurred in France and the United States. Discriminatory demonstrations and demonstrations are disproportionate, and they are not the same as the previous demonstrations by Chinese protesting insecurity. However, "a single spark can start a prairie fire", which also shows that Chinese anti-discrimination actions have a long way to go. .

　　"We just want to live quietly in a peaceful and equal environment." This is the most basic anti-discrimination appeal of the Chinese, and it is also a normal appeal that is not an appeal.

But even this simple request also requires long-term resistance from the Chinese.

"Without the broom, the dust will not run away by itself as usual." We cannot underestimate the Chinese people's determination to fight.

　　In the United States, people in many places held anti-discrimination rallies and demonstrations. Netizens initiated fundraising for the treatment of Chinese elderly Xie Xiaozhen. Family members said that after deducting the corresponding handling fees, they would donate all the funds they received to community organizations to support anti-discrimination. , Anti-violence activities.

In France, many Chinese associations have also taken active actions to continue fighting for the rights and interests of Chinese people.

"The road is long and long, the line will come, and the line will continue, and the future can be expected." The Chinese have the courage and ability to carry out the anti-discrimination struggle to the end.

This is also a responsible and responsible attitude towards French society.
