Chinanews.com, May 17-Recently, a US talk show actor sarcastically and insulted Chinese talk show actors in their performances, calling it "art of offense."

The US "Qiao Bao" recently published an editorial that pointed out that "the art of offending" is not a shield for rude people, nor is it a stage for spreading racism.

　　The article is excerpted as follows:

　　On May 6, a talk show was staged at a performance venue in Austin, Texas. One of the scenes angered many Chinese: Peng Dang, a well-known Chinese talk show actor in the United States, first came to the stage to talk about hot scenes, and then passionately. Solemnly welcome the next performer, Tony, to come on stage. Unexpectedly, the latter came up with a sentence "Everyone applauds the dirty Chinese guy in front."

Next, Tony kept swearing, sneered at Peng with a weird voice, and flaunted his experience of ignoring the protests of the Chinese audience and "spouting" the opponent face to face when performing insults to China.

　　Peng and another Chinese talk show actor Wang Tianxiao posted this performance video to social platforms, and the number of views on Twitter quickly exceeded 1 million.

Wang Tianxiao recently revealed on Weibo that Tony’s agency and business partners have quickly cut him off, but there are still white colleagues who support him, and many Tony’s "fans" have sent private credit "chink" to attack Peng.

　　Those defending Tony claimed that Tony was originally focused on "insult comics" (also known as insult comics), and that "foul language" is his consistent style.

So the question is: why does he only dare to say "C-word" to Chinese Americans, but never say "N-word" to African Americans?

　　The early American talk shows were indeed "nothing jokes." After years of development, they have now become a form of performance that criticizes current malpractices and reflects on human nature in mockery.

Even if it returns to its original position, not talking about political correctness, but only talking about creative freedom, Tony's performance is only "no taste" and not funny. It is purely to get pleasure through foul language and satisfy himself by derogating others. Low-level jokes.

　　This kind of performance made the Chinese audience and the peers unable to laugh.

Peng and Wang Tianxiao are both English-speaking talk show performers. They are familiar with the resonance and blocking points in communication between Eastern and Western cultures. They also agree with the industry consensus that "talk show is an offensive art." There are a lot of "black" and "self-black" content in the "out of the circle" paragraph.

For this reason, Peng was very restrained when interviewed by the media on this matter. He emphasized that he knew the importance of creative freedom, but at the same time he reminded everyone: Asian Americans are now intolerable to "hatred against Asia".

　　Although Peng did not directly accuse Tony, when reporting the incident, whether it was liberal media such as Newsweek or conservative Fox News, Tony’s performance was stamped as "racist" (racist) and "anti-". Asian" (anti-Asian).

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the malice in his inferior paragraphs cannot be easily exposed with a single sentence of "freedom of speech."

　　A chilling detail was that when Tony was "spitting out" on stage, many audience members in the audience applauded and laughed, not realizing the impropriety of "C-word" at all.

In the talk show scene, even if swear words are flying all over the sky, "N-word" has never been only African-American performers who can say, and other ethnic groups will never touch it.

The unbridled "C-word" is enough to show that even if a vigorous BLM movement reveals to the public the hidden oppression of "systematic discrimination", there are still many discriminatory behaviors that are widespread in a state of "collective unconsciousness".

　　What is gratifying is that the Chinese have set off a wave of boycotting Tony on social platforms, and soon achieved results.

This fully shows that in order to win the "anti-discrimination" public opinion war, in addition to actively and effectively speaking, everyone needs to unite and let those who regard "hatred of Asia" as interesting know that "the art of offending" is not a shield for rude people. , It is not a stage for spreading racism.
