[Please read caption⚠️請看內文中文往下] The other day at the end of class, a student asked if he could ask me a question that was unrelated to the lesson. I said of course and he asked whether I know about the Stop Asian Hate Movement. Naturally I did so he proceeded and asked "why do people in America hate Asians so much right now?" I answered "cause COVID started in Asia and they think that Asians are to blame for everything that they are going through right now." He paused and said "but... that doesn't make any sense." To which I replied "well, none of the hate crimes and discrimination make any sense, do they?" He is a university student but I felt that his response was so pure it was almost like a kid, and it made me sad. This isn't a 'Merica problem or a Trump problem. It is about everyone who thinks the same. Everyone should analyze if oneself has become or aided the perpetrators. No matter who one is or where one is from, Asian or not, if they have ever said or done anything due to COVID, to verbally or physically abuse, blame, hurt, or exclude Asians, Chinese (Hua-ren), people from China, people from WuHan, or any member of the APPI community, then they are no better than the Americans beating up Asian elderlies. 上週課堂結束前一位學生提出可不可以問我一個跟課堂無關的問題，我答應了。他問我知不知道Stop Asian Hate，並接著問為什麼美國人現在那麼痛恨亞洲人。不知道他是不是以為我人在國外還是是華僑😅我回答了「因為新冠肺炎源自亞洲，所以他們覺得他們所經歷的一切不幸都是亞洲人的錯。」他停頓了一會兒然後超級天真純潔又困惑的說「但是... 這完全沒有道理。」 我只好無奈地回答他「所有的仇恨犯罪和歧視都很沒道理，不是嗎？」他聽起來無比委屈的跟我說了晚安。 這不是川普一個人怪罪他人或是堅持說「武漢肺炎」的錯，而是所有相似行為和思維的人。我看到非常多認識的人最近喜歡在story分享相關的貼文，但看著倒覺得有些有點諷刺。 今天雖然自己不是打亞洲婆婆的白人，都該檢視自己到底是不是加害者之一。不管是不是亞洲人、華人，如果身為曾經發表言論、付諸行動不論是在言語還是肢體上蓄意為疫情責怪、傷害、排擠亞洲人、華人、中國人民或是武漢人，那麼這些人都不比歧視亞洲人的美國人來得情有可原。 今天不論政治立場還是國族認同，以上根本不是一個人類應該有的行為。相較起來許多人一邊歧視著陸生一邊自命清高的指責美國人更讓我感到荒謬。 -- PC: @j2208181998

🇮🇩 9 3 0 🇮🇩 （中文/ENG) #殺人一舉 和 #沈默一瞬 是導演Joshua Oppenheimer的紀錄片，內容是關於印尼在1965-66年間的大屠殺，並且分別在兩部片裡各自呈現加害者與被害者的觀點。 我認真覺得每一個人都應該要看這兩部片（特別是殺人一舉），導演在片中呈現出人的立體和人性的複雜面，雖然時空背景是六〇年代，放在今日的社會背景卻一點也不違和。正義和發展並不在天秤兩端，如果我們能真正瞭解人有眾多面向，不被情緒綁架，就能讓彼此更靠近一點了。 臺灣的大家可以上 giloo 線上紀實影音平台觀看（保證沒業配🤚🏼） . The Act of Killing & The Look of Silence are two documentaries made by Joshua Oppenheimer, about the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66, and explores different perspectives of perpetrators and victims respectively. I think everyone should watch these as he shows the multidimensional aspects and the complexity of human nature. If we truly understand this, the society wouldn't be so divided as today is and there would be far less chaos. . . . . #theactofkilling #thelookofsilence #joshuaoppenheimer #film #filmillustration #movie #movieillustration #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustration_daily #illustrationhowl #illustrationgram #illustrationart #illustrationnow #illust #illo #illustratie #gouacheillustration #littlewhitelies #tzuchunchang #電影 #電影插畫 #插畫 #台灣插畫 #台灣插畫家 #台灣插畫專區 #930
