荷蘭電臺播放辱華歌曲遭5萬人聯(lián)名譴責(zé),請愿發(fā)起人:言論自由不是隨意傷害!

新冠肺炎疫情暴發(fā)以來,世界多國針對華人和亞洲人的歧視行為時有發(fā)生。
2月7日,荷蘭電臺radio10播放的侮辱歧視性歌曲在網(wǎng)上流傳,視頻中節(jié)目主持人Lex Gaarthuis 跟著音樂手舞足蹈,歌詞將華人和冠狀病毒聯(lián)系起來,警告聽眾遠(yuǎn)離中餐,引起眾多荷蘭華人的憤怒。

2月8日荷蘭當(dāng)?shù)厝A人正式發(fā)起了以“我們不是病毒”為主題的全國請愿活動,在不到5天的時間里征集到超過55000人的簽名。請愿聲明中質(zhì)問道:
“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?”
“怎么會有像Radio 10節(jié)目組這樣的人竟然把一種嚴(yán)重的病毒與華裔和中餐相提并論?”
“You don’t joke about an illness, or a virus. Would you laugh if the song was about cancer?”
“疾病或病毒,根本就不應(yīng)該被拿來開玩笑。如果這首歌是關(guān)于癌癥的,你們也會覺得好笑嗎?”
并要求:
-Radio?10電臺正式道歉
-政界采取行動制定方案反歧視
-媒體承擔(dān)社會責(zé)任,做符合媒體素養(yǎng)的報道
截至3月4日,該請愿書已獲得約5.8萬次簽名。


在請愿聲明的發(fā)起人當(dāng)中,Marco Jacobs是個土生土長的荷蘭人,2月7日當(dāng)晚他就協(xié)助華人媒體,幫忙翻譯歌詞,并校對和翻譯了請愿活動中的申請文書。他說當(dāng)時從朋友那里聽到Radio 10事件時真是要氣炸了!

“有句歌詞真的讓我非常氣憤,?‘het is allemaal de schuld van die stinkende Chinezen’意思是這些都是那些臭中國人的錯,我完全震驚了,誰會這么想?”他說。
“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隨即敦促他的華人朋友們站出來抗議這種歧視。

Marco在中國生活了11年,期間他在北京語言大學(xué)完成了本科和碩士研究生階段的學(xué)習(xí),能熟練運(yùn)用中文。2014年Marco回到荷蘭,現(xiàn)在他是當(dāng)?shù)氐囊幻商m語老師。
“自從回國以來,我就一直跟周圍的人講有些話是傷害和污名化華人的,但是很少有人聽進(jìn)去我的這些話,因為人們只是把這些傷人的言語當(dāng)作笑話,他們認(rèn)為這是言論自由?!?/span>
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.
“對請愿活動的最初反應(yīng)也是這樣,人們指責(zé)荷蘭的華人侵犯言論自由。但是我認(rèn)為言論自由是需要我們珍惜的,不是用它來隨意傷害和指責(zé)別人,煽動種族仇恨。”
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.
他說在過去的幾周看到了一些針對荷蘭亞裔無禮言行,比如朝他們臉上吐口水,對小孩大吼冠狀病毒,將亞洲老人從自行車上踹下來。
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看來,此次新冠病毒疫情凸顯出了對中國根深蒂固的偏見。從一開始這種病毒就被稱為中國病毒或武漢病毒。這激發(fā)了不同社會中潛在的種族仇恨,而這種仇恨的根源在于無知。
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希望能夠憑借他的語言和文化背景,將中國人的心聲相對完整地傳達(dá)到當(dāng)事人一方。
在Radio 10事件中,電臺和Lex Gaarthuis都對此事道歉,請愿活動也得到了荷蘭媒體的廣泛關(guān)注,當(dāng)?shù)刂髁髅襟wNPO1電視臺在晚間黃金檔節(jié)目De Wereld Draait Door播放了關(guān)于該事件的訪談;荷蘭公訴機(jī)關(guān)就此事件展開刑事調(diào)查。
Marco說:“盡管我們面臨著種族主義和歧視行為,但我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的是,在這個國家,也有很多人反對這種行為,他們歡迎你,希望成為你的朋友。”
“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.”
他說,疫情暴發(fā)后,中國展現(xiàn)出了作為世界大國的責(zé)任和擔(dān)當(dāng),各行各業(yè)在抗疫中做出了極大犧牲,中國人的決心和精神讓他堅信中國一定能戰(zhàn)勝病毒。
“我想對在中國的朋友們說加油,戰(zhàn)疫終將勝利?!?/span>
“To my friends in China, I would like to say, stay strong. The battle against COVID-19 will be won.”
