做黄种人的烦恼

马上要回中国探亲。想去北京和上海去看看。这几年国内的亲戚越做越好。有时候我在电话里听他们讲述国内的变化,如何大把大把地赚钱。一时呆若木鸡。

朋友电话里兴奋地说“这次你回来,我带你去到处玩玩。什刹海的酒吧一条街有一个酒吧我一定要带你去。里面都是外国人。乐队也是国外的。经常换“。

我想告诉他我最想和他坐在小摊儿上, 一人一瓶啤酒,二斤包子。那是我最想做的事。 但我一想也许应该去见见世面。在美国我真的活得挺穷酸。除了上班,下班,就是买便宜菜,上网。真的没有什莫社会交流。 但是另一方面,我想见的世面也不是洋鬼子。其实我的表弟已经比95%的洋鬼子有钱了。 但是白人毕竟是白人。白人是社会地位的象征,是成功的最终尺度。不仅我朋友这莫想,张艺谋也这莫想。28 岁的翁帆(成就旷世之恋的杨振宁的夫人)这莫想。章子怡这莫想,我看看自己这身镀金的洋学历。原来我也这莫想。

这次我回上海最大的目的是想看看国外大公司能提供什莫样的待遇。在美国打工和在中国打工的区别在于自身的感觉。很多人回中国是为了找到感觉。但是不可回避的是中国最高尚的小区白人是居多的。

如果生为白人,可能事情都是理所当然的。如果生为黄种人,不免多一份人生的思考。为什莫白人和黄种人生来就不平等?

白人不知道做黄种人比他们多了份烦恼。

做白人烦恼也不少。开车很爽,可石油眼看就接不上劲了。一次性的杯子很方便,可是能砍的树也没几棵了。商品越来越多,垃圾也越来越多。资本主义符合人性。可是地球与人性一样脆弱。人类是毁于战争,温室效应,还是资源枯竭?

做白人也不容易。布什总统不也是混得灰头土脸的吗?

对于有些白人有一个好处,就是实在混不下去了,可以到中国去找一找做白人的感觉。

hmmm.... interesting subject! yea our '黄种人face' sometimes give us up/downs at life of USA. "烦恼" is not all the time, sometimes happy, am I right?

"认为什么是最原始的,最关键的原因使白种人和黄种人生来就不平等?
---> one factor could be the past 150 years China was weak and white people invade China, did bad things at our land.

your raised a great question. to answer your question, I feel that culture plays a big role. It is generally accepted that western culture is more "advanced" than Chinese culture in the last two hundred years. There were more scientific and technological breakthroughs in the western world. military is more powerful in the western world. westerners are wealthier than chinese.

the same can be said about japanese. whether we like it or not, Japan is more "advanced" than China for the above reasons, wealth, science and technology, and military power. By the way, I feel that we should not take Japan's military power too lightly. Japan is still a big military power in the world.

Another reason is white people are on the average taller and stronger than asian people. That being said, I am still proud to be whatever I am.

Maybe asian people and white people will not be treated equally in the next one hundred years. But nobody knows beyond that.

你说,白人是社会地位的象征,是成功的最终尺度。你问,为什么白种人和黄种人生来就不平等?我也想过这些问题, 可是至今百思不得其解,我想问一下,你认为什么是最原始的,最关键的原因使白种人和黄种人生来就不平等?这个原因是否能够改变?如果能够改变,是否白种人和黄种人就可以平等了,如果不能够改变,是否白种人和黄种人就只能永远不平等了。
