說說膚色以外的種族歧視

發信人: grady (Little)

當然膚色以外的，第一位的就是宗教。象mormon這種比較不主流的當然是被歧視對象。
雖然是第二大宗教，Catholic也是被歧視對象。表面上是宗教問題，但是更深層的是種
族或者亞種族歧視。因為Catholic主要是Italian, Irish, Polish等等。 Italian被形
容成都是gangster, Irish被形容成都是alcoholic或者gangster，Polish被形容成
ruthless。

還有地域歧視，背後也有很多種族成分，但是就比較subtle。比如罵Boston，隱含罵
Irish的意思，比如Kennedy，甚至Kerry，雖然Kerry不是Irish。罵人New York，隱含
罵猶太人的意思，比如the west wing裡面有一集，一個conservative的religious
group的女的，在white house罵new york...，其實就是罵Toby Ziegler和Josh Lyman
都是猶太人，雖然Josh Lyman很阿Q的說我是從Connecticut來的。還有midwest，The
big bang theory有這樣的對話：

Penny: Why? I』ll tell you why. Because today I had an audition, it took me
two hours to get there, I waited an hour for my turn, and before I could
even start they told me I looked too Midwest for the part. Too Midwest? What
the hell does that even mean?
Sheldon: Well, the American Midwest was mostly settled by Scandinavian and
Germanic peoples who, well they have a characteristic facial bone structure
….
所以種族歧視是一個很普遍的現象，即使都是白人，裡面的各種歧視也一應俱全。

學習了，謝謝。
