看到国内有人指责即将上任的美国驻华大使,也就侃一侃这个老话题。
在对待海外华人这点上,欧洲和北美有明显的不同。欧洲基本上是民族国家,我知道有人会说德国有几百万土耳其人,法国有几百万北非穆斯林,但这都还是社会边缘人群。所以欧洲人没有美国人那么有PC意识,说话就直一些。
年轻时在欧洲工作或旅游,别人从不听我解释我是美国公民,就是把我当中国人看,到了大城市观光带我看中国使领馆而不是美国的,中国体育队赢了比赛大家都向我祝贺,美国队赢了就没人通知我。也许有人说,像你这样的亲共愤青,别人当然把你当中国人看了。错!老夫也年轻过,特别是入了美国籍之后也是整天价唱 I am proud to be an American.
不管在欧洲还是北美,华人要想当地人看见你的脸孔还不把你当中国人只有一个办法是有效的。其实很简单,就是逢中必反,比当地人呢还要坚决,极端,让别人对你的印象除了反中没有别的。具体做法如下:
平时见到任何人,开口就是"Have you read about the Jasmine revolution in China? I can't believe the Chinese government forbids its own people to peacefully gather! I sometimes doubt these people and I are of the same race, uhh!";
要么就是“I am really upset that President Obama is buying into that Chinese cr-p about high speed rail. Does anyone believe the CHINESE are going to make anything like high speed train up to OUR SAFETY STANDARD? So I came all the way to America only to ride on trains made in CHINA? God help us”;
或者 "I almost threw up when I saw the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony! What a scam, I mean there are people in China dying of malnutrition, and they are spending billions so they can look good?" (这时旁边一个土生美国人插话"I actually like that ceremony a lot, and I don't see anything wrong making it great despite the country has other problems, at least we in the US do not wait until all our problems are solved before we have a good time",华人立刻反驳 "Tom, you are so naive because you had never lived in a totalitarian country, I have, and that's why I left. I do not want to see that country ever again ");
又如:
中日在钓鱼岛发生了冲突,就坚决站在美国盟友日本这边,谴责中共有侵略性的对外政策;
中国恢复对日本稀土供应,就指出中共是最大的卖国集团,谴责中共软弱无能的对外政策;
国内的富二代做恶被报道,就说中共官场黑暗,当官儿的就敢胡作非为;
国内的贪官逃到美国避难,就说中共官场黑暗,连当官儿的都怕,是“精英”出逃;
国内过去没有高铁动车,就说日本新干线设备先进,中国的硬件一百年也赶不上;
国内现在有了高铁动车,就说日本新干线理念先进,中国有了先进的硬件也没用;
中国过去奥运金牌很少,就说世界人口最多的国家只拿这么几个金牌,太落后,没希望;
中国现在奥运金牌第一,就说人家印度不象中国好大喜功,反正中国的金牌不代表全民;
大家只要照此法去做,就一定不会遭受被当地人误认为是中国人的尴尬了。
