May 2 (Sa), 2015. A meandering chat on facebook regarding a perception of an Asian's glorifying the White Superiorism

My friend Johnny Huang in Taipei posted his friend's article on facebook regarding racial/ethnic perception (typed in character).  I echoed my thoughts in the threads (in English).

白人不喜歡中國人理由很簡單
作者:袁明

我以技術移民身份移民加拿大,申請的是魁百克,類似加拿大的一個自治區,獨立性非常強,官方語言為法語(申請移民時講的也是法語),但我在蒙特利爾落地後只住了幾天,就去了多倫多,在多倫多住了兩年,對老外不說完全瞭解,至少也知道一些皮毛。

當然,中國人確實有自己的特點,但要說中國形象不佳是因為文化差異,那就搞笑了,形象這種東西有時候是有共性的,我在中國看場足球,走的時候滿地的廢報紙和花生、瓜子殼,在西方絕無此類現象,按照中國外交部部長的解釋,這應該不算中國人的陋習而是中國人有吃零食的習慣,當然你不怕笑話大可如此自說自話。

加拿大是一個自由的國家,假如中國人不是很清楚這句話的含義,我也可以解釋一下,那就是加拿大是一個憑本事吃飯的地方,只要你有本事,你就可以過得非常舒服,沒有人會妨礙你,種族歧視並不意味著不給你工作。加拿大從立國開始,就一直是個典型的移民國家,我們都說,中國人勤勉、誠實、勇敢、有文化、有歷史(其實印巴人、韓國人、阿拉伯人、黑人,沒有哪個民族不這樣看自己),那為什麼,加拿大的主流一直是由白種人構成?其實並沒有任何東西妨礙你發展,等你深入地瞭解了白人,你就會知道,我們身上的這些所謂的優點,早就存在於人家的血液之中,甚至形成基因,開始遺傳,白人為什麼能在美國、加拿大、澳大利亞、紐西蘭這些移民國家裡牢牢地佔據著主流社會的位置,你瞭解了他們,你就會得出答案。其實白人是所有人種裡最不複雜的一類人,有時候你會覺得他們的智商比我們低幾個檔次。

他們不喜歡中國人,道理非常簡單,在西人眼裡,中國人不講衛生,不講誠信,只會製造假貨。你可能不知道他們(不僅僅是白人)對中國人那種根深蒂固的看法,這幾條在西方人看來,都是那種非常要命不可思議的缺點。你不和白人打交道,你無法體會他們對誠信的理解,你在加拿大生活,你想找一個說謊的白人,真的非常難,在法庭上,一個白人的證言,毫無疑問就是事實本身,而在中國,證人證言幾乎就是最不可靠的東西。在加拿大和白人打交道,只要他允諾的,他就一定會做到,無論遇到什麼樣的困難,而且這種允諾往往只是電話裡的一個單詞,沒有任何書面的憑證,按照中國人的看法,他大可不認。有時候你以為很隨意的一句話,卻包含著最基本的誠信。

至於說造假,我可以告訴你,在加拿大,中國大陸和香港的文憑都是不被承認的,管你是清華北大還是香港中文大學,一律要作公證——對不起,人家同樣不相信中國的公證機關,必須要到加拿大去做。這一點,對所有中國人生效,你可以說這是歧視,但人家為什麼不同樣歧視印度、伊拉克、非洲,因為全世界只有中國不把文憑當回事,只有中國可以花錢買文憑,花錢買公證,這一點甚至連香港都不能倖免。

三鹿事件一發生,超市裡中國食物全部下架,白人對三鹿事件想破頭皮都不能理解——就算在古希臘時期,也不可能發生這種把毒奶粉給孩子吃的事件。不講衛生,中國人在西方人甚至黑人眼裡,就是骯髒的代名詞,西人說中國人不講衛生,一是中國人身上有異味。

白人非常講究個人衛生,甚至到變態的地步,一天兩次澡,一件襯衣絕對不會穿兩次,近乎變態地修理指甲,白人(包括黑人)用的廁所,永遠沒有異味,所有廁所都有衛生紙(當然全是免費的)供應,地板一塵不染。中國人的廁所,相信大家都知道,可以說,只要有中國人出沒,廁所就是髒的。

白人的家裡,處處一塵不染,絕無異味(絕大多數白人不吃有異味的食物),中國人家一進入,各種刺鼻的味道接踵而來,人家沒法不對你有看法。

說有文化,中國人更不能和白人比,加拿大的白人,和歐洲人相比,基本被定義為比較沒文化的,他們自己也這麼認為,但就是這些沒文化的白人,一上公車、地鐵,第一件事情就是從包裡拿出書來看,那種環保紙張印製的書,非常輕,幾乎人手一本,不論是坐車、等人、走累了休息,不停地閱讀。

加拿大的圖書館,不收費,書隨便借,從書刊到音響製品到報紙雜誌,白人借書和我們不一樣,一借就是幾十本甚至上百本,我異常驚訝於加拿大人喜歡閱讀的習慣,在我眼裡,我算是愛書的人,但我一年真正讀的有幾本書?我們說自己是幾大文明古國,可我感覺,人家一個人的閱讀量,比得上我們一個單位幾十個人。

和白人相處,是一件非常愉快的事情。白人一輩子就是兩個追求,一是自由,二是隱私。白人對你的隱私,尊敬得無以復加。在加拿大,你的宗教信仰、年紀、工資、病歷、性取向、服裝的品牌、參加的俱樂部——幾乎一切都是隱私,你的手機放到桌子上,絕對不會有白人來問你是什麼牌子的,更不可能拿過去看。

你在街道上走,只要你身邊有白人,他絕對離你一段距離,加拿大稱為“隱私距離”,你的隱私可以得到最好的保護,任何人,未經你本人授權,絕對看不到你的任何個人資料,白人對隱私的尊重,使你覺得非常安全,和他們相處非常放心,所謂的在公共場所低聲說話,一是為了保護自己的隱私,二是為了尊重別人,不讓自己的聲音打攪到別人,中國人沒有隱私的概念,至少這個概念相當淡薄,無所謂,如果這也算文化差異,我覺得還是消除的好。白人有同情心,白人的同情心,不是那種裝出來,不是那種作秀,他們非常樂於助人。

一般來說,白人沒有保存東西的習慣,一些東西,只要他們認為沒有用,就會丟掉,他們丟的時候會很仔細地區分,比如其他人能用的,他們就會把它放在路旁,而且一定是洗得非常乾淨,讓你拿去就能用。在加拿大很多移民因為窮,都喜歡去撿東西來用,像我家裡從沙發到床到茶几,全部是撿來的,沒有人認為有什麼丟人的。我認識的一個華人,撿了一套沙發,搬回家裡,沙發的原主人開著車跟了十多裡路到了他家,他以為人家反悔了,結果是因為他忘了拿四顆螺絲,人家專門送上門來,當時他感動得幾乎掉下淚來,但這對於白人來說,是理所當然的事情。

白人在做這些事情的時候,非常細心,比如嬰兒車,他就會丟到那種專門收廢品的垃圾箱裡,有時還會在上面貼個紙條,警告你不能給嬰兒使用,甚至細心到根據周圍住戶的特徵寫上漢語或阿拉伯語。

在加拿大,中國人打工都願意去白人的公司,因為人家給的錢多,沒有欺詐,不剝削你,各種福利保障齊全,工會力量強大(比你想像的強大得多,強大到變態的地步),而在中國人(尤其是香港人)的公司,基本利潤就是靠剝削你而來,你在中國公司呆一天,就知道馬克思說的剩餘價值理論一點沒錯,而你在白人的公司做活,儘管也非常辛苦,但你是得到尊重的。

在西方,不存在中國那種坐辦公室喝茶就能賺錢的職業,無論你是公司職員、公務員、醫生、律師,每個人工作都非常辛苦,每一個加元都是辛苦錢汗水錢,而且除了全民共用的福利保障,沒有什麼人有特殊的待遇,錢對大家都是公平的(中國人當官基本就不花錢),所以、他們對錢看得很重,保護得很嚴,夫妻之間,父母之間,金錢問題絕不含糊,白人送你一個小禮物,是一件很正式的事情,因為這是花他的汗水錢買來的,而且是他親自去花了時間精挑細選的。我在中國大家也送東西,送來送去,都是單位發的。

當然,白人也有不好的地方,但我要說一點,白人對中國人的偏見,完全不是因為種族原因,而是因為長期和中國人打交道得出的結論,這一點上,你可以和黑人比較,白人原來也很討厭黑人,但現在和黑人一起撐起加拿大的主流社會,為什麼?因為黑人自身改變了很多,你和黑人打交道,你明顯會發覺,他們有教養、有禮貌、有品味,懂得尊重人,講衛生,更重要的是,他們說話做事情,非常講究誠信,黑人被接納,甚至他們自己也能登堂入室,是他們自身改變的結果,因為加拿大這個社會需要的就是這種人。

同樣,華人自己的地位也是自己造成的,白人的特點是,不看你說,只看你做,你一次不講誠信的行為,就會讓人家一輩子不願意和你打交道,你一次假貨售出,就會讓人家一輩子不買中國貨。

其實華人在加拿大只要憑藉自身的努力,完全是可以得到認同的,加拿大上一任總督就是華人,現任總督是中美洲難民出身,但華人整體上在加拿大並不討人喜歡,溫哥華有很多大陸去的移民,什麼事也不做,手裡有大把的美金,有人說,中國外逃貪官的一半生活在這裡,加拿大不會拒絕美元,但他們歧視手裡只有美元的人,這些貪官為加拿大源源不斷地輸血,但他們自身對社會的貢獻為零,當他們入籍宣誓稱“永遠效忠英王陛下”的時候,白人早就把你打入另冊。

我並不想妄自菲薄,也不是說要崇洋媚外,更不是種族主義者,但確實,白人是一個非常優秀的種群,這種優秀不是某一兩個代表,也不是某一類職業,而是全體白人,很多品質已經進入到他們的血液中,甚至形成遺傳基因,他們能成為這個世界事實上統治者,並不完全是技術力量,而是他們自身的那種超群的品質因素,這種個人素質的整體提升,靠的是幾百年孜孜不倦的教育(順便說一句,中國連教師工資都不能保證,真不好意思說出去),這種內在的品質才是最可怕的,你可以在經濟上大躍進,在軍事上大躍進,但你無法在人的品質上大躍進,而人的因素不解決,你永遠趕不上人家。中國,你還差得遠

昶昶 Thanks for sharing some good points and insightful observations. I would like to share some of my thoughts - which could be my biases. Every culture has its ideological freedom and constraints tied to its economic-historical formation and development. How to generalize "而是全體白人, 很多品質已經進入到他們的血液中,甚至形成遺傳基因,他們能成為這個世界事實上統治者..."- Hopefully, not my being 斷章取義- note: there are many kinds of white, Nazi German white, Anglo-Saxon white, Slav white, Hispanic white....and many mixed white as well as 100+ shades go-between...." without committing stereotype (whether positive or negative - a major source of prejudice and discrimination) is not an easy task, though.

昶昶 Indeed, "白" "race" can be good as the article argued. But why? How to make other race/ethnic groups think and behave as good or even better is not impossible. Many factors compound to today's perceptions on the diverse human population.

Generally speaking, there could be the legacies of two historical events that might make "白" people look nicer and behave better today, unless you totally believe in bio-determinant, (as the author pointed out) that I could think of: one could be Industrialization and the other one, maybe, colonialism/imperialism. The global stratification (the inequality in the global scale in terms of colonial plundering on other countries' natural and human resources, enslavement, econ-political domination and repression happening in the colonial era) had existed for more than 300 years in the world history. Some handy examples would be the colonialized Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Indian Peninsula.... the most close ones would be 八國聯軍, 鴉片戰爭, 裂地賠款, 崇洋媚外, 倭寇侵中...etc. Though history may not bear responsibility of how a nation shapes her characters or sense of moralities, not many nations could avoid the major confluences from the larger environment.

昶昶 The winners and conquers brought back the spoils/trophies (gold, silver, oil, spiciest, slaves, lands, and other precious materials, YES, with their "ingenuity and smartness", plus abundance free goodies and labor forces, they built "clean, polite, 'HONEST', well-educated societies"!!!! - several centuries ahead of other "poor, selfish, dirty, lazy, and immoral" colonialized, pillaged, looted countries... See attached now still happening in the 21st century of Latin America - Indigenous people are fighting for their lands. http://blog.cifor.org/.../for-indigenous-people-in-latin... Ohhh yeees, don't these people look clean, smart, respectful, caring, loving, and well-educated like those "白 race" ????

昶昶 I agree to the author's idea of education - an expensive national investment which is a key transformation of a nation's human capitals. But not all education leads to proper human development, such as edu-capitalism that may not be, and even worse, its outcome can be against humanity, as a simple example.

昶昶 Echoing the author's idea: another quick example, if not anecdote, Froebel set up his school in Blankenburg Germany in 1837, later known as the first kindergarten. He called for German women to come together and support the kindergarten to educate the Future Hope of a Nation. Here is pop-quiz for you - If you recall properly what happened during 1837 in Taiwanese, Chinese and Global history????

昶昶 I am not defending any racial/ethnic, or national entities for their moral or immoral characters/human development. 見賢當思齊, 見不善而內自省. Human beings are adaptable and have capacity to learn and unlearn when proper environment and life chances are available.

昶昶 As you are familiar to the three major schools of thoughts regarding human nature - do you believe human beings are born to be good, bad, or blank slate? 性善性惡, 無善無惡, 蓬生蔴中?? Why? Could a jumpy perception (or stereotype) be treated or thoughts of more cautiously?
