澳大利亚国家电视台表示,他们不是在为一档描写中国人吃老鼠、蟑螂和蛆的儿童喜剧节目道歉,而是在“解释”中国古代的“饮食文化” 2020年11月26号 | Marcus Reubenstein CLICK HERE FOR ENGLISH VERSION 上周,澳大利亚ABC电视网旗下的一个儿童电视频道,播放了一集由英国制作的喜剧节目“恐怖历史(Horrible Histories)”。 在90秒的短片中,一名穿着中国服饰的女演员,吃着由喜剧演员喂给她的蛆、蟑螂和老鼠,喜剧演员假装呕吐,并说这个女角色“恶心”。 ABC拒绝回答APAC News(和其他澳大利亚媒体)的问题,而是表示可以向投诉部门写信投诉。 最有可能的解释就是,没有人在节目播出前,检查过这个不是由ABC制作的节目。 在其网站上发表一段道歉和删除冒犯性的视频是正常响应。 观看视频 ABC反驳 三天内,这段无礼的视频在澳大利亚庞大的华人社区(其中有59%的人不是中国内地出生的)之间传播,并被多家当地及国际媒体转载。 最后,ABC通过一个在线新闻报道作出了回应。其讲述了一个华人社区被这段视频冒犯的报道,并问为什么? 没有必要问这样的问题。这是种族主义,每一个澳大利亚都应该感到生气。 ABC的报道毫无事实依据 ABC新闻报道的开场白是,这个喜剧片段是“获得奖项的”。 除了是以某种方式使这段视频合法化之外,ABC在线的开场白似乎是错误的。没有任何证据表明这个短片获过奖项。 其描述这位女演员是一位“亚裔英国女演员”,但是没有费心思去查她的名字。她叫苏菲·吴(音译,Sophie Wu),父亲是中国人,母亲是苏格兰人。 中国《环球时报》(Global Times)写过一篇文章批评ABC,但错误地称其为一位“白人女演员”,而实际上,她是直系的华裔。 没有教育意义的 ABC报道这个喜剧小品“是解释1000多年前灭亡的唐朝的饮食文化的环节的一部分”。 这个说法是不正确的。这一片段与“解释”唐朝饮食文化毫无关系。 该节目是2015年为BBC电视网制作的,其中具有种族主义的片段是由两名当时正在嘲笑真人秀“我是名人,让我离开这里!(I’m a Celebrity, Get […]
