“Chloé Zhao became the first woman of color, and only the second woman, to win best director, for Nomadland. The delightful Yuh-jung Youn, who flirted with Brad Pitt while accepting her award for Minari, was the first Korean and the second Asian to win as best supporting actress.”(网址:https://www.npr.org/2021/04/26/990759778/7-takeaways-from-the-train-station-oscars)
两则新闻都是第一句报道最佳导演奖,不说得主是Chinese,而是woman of color;第二句报道最佳女配角奖,就说得主是Korean,是Asian。主流媒体这么定调后,二、三流媒体全都紧跟,所以美国人看电视或收听电台广播,只知道赵婷是woman of color,搞不清她是哪国人,还以为她是黑人。
我不是要为赵婷这个人或她得奖的事写些什么。我对奥斯卡得奖片很长时期来都是兴趣缺缺,嫌太假太会洗脑。我最厌恶的是虚伪,本文目的是揭穿美媒的虚伪。美媒也搞政治挂帅,也搞屏蔽,它们所作所为正是它们义正言辞批判的行为。美媒碰到韩国人日本人的称谓都直截了当,碰到中国人就变成woman of color。People of color约定俗成用于黑人,而且用得很少,美国媒体仅仅为了不用Chinese,竟然翻出这个词来愚弄美国人。
