为什么华人在外容易成为“目标”？

作为在一个海外华人，在异国他乡，自己或者身边的人时不时会有一种“受害者”或者“弱势群体”的心态，有的时候一件小事就会立马联想到“我忒么不是被种族歧视了吧？”

今天就想根据自己的亲身体验以及和老外朋友们的接触交流说一说“为什么华人容易成为”目标”？

在外的华人一直说遇到事情要发出自己的声音，但是既然在国外，要发出声音自然也要用他们的语言，这样才能被更多的当地人听到，让他们更多的了解，这也是今天想用英文写这个话题的原因。

The main reason is because people see Asians as easy targets. They don’t care whether you’re Korean, Japanese, they would still consider you as Chinese.

In Australia, there’s a stereotype that Asian men are nerds, weak, short, and skinny. So that’s what bullies do, they make fun of Chinese because there is no consequence in doing so. They would assume that you would stay low and not fight them back. On the other hand, blacks or islanders are stereotyped as aggressive and strong. People would usually think twice before making fun of a black person or islander.

The solution to this problem is pretty simple, just start lifting weights and eat more protein.

As long as you look like those guys, no one would make fun of you.

That’s not the only factor. People assume that racism only applies to blacks, aboriginal and islanders, but not Asians. If a guy makes fun of an aboriginal person, he would be considered as racist, ignorant, but if he does the same thing toward an Asian guy, then the guy is humorous. You tell him that he’s racist, and he would call you oversensitive and tell you to learn how to take a joke.

I think we can blame their history teachers for this. Their history lessons talk mainly about how white people absued aboriginbals and "Stolen Generation" , but they never talk about racism toward Chinese. They rarely talk about "White Australia Policy", Chinese migrant exclusion policy. As a result, no one knows that there’s such thing as racism toward Chinese.

We should also admit that some Chinese usually tell others that they’re Chinese but they’re not offended. If you’re this type of Chinese, you’re just making things worse for us. You might be fine with those racist jokes, but this would kill your children’s self-esteem one day, and what they do is they would be ashamed of being Chinese.
