美国18岁Rapper庞普(Lil Pump)于当地时间16日,在Instagram晒出新歌《蝴蝶门》(Butterfly Doors)。由于歌词不仅嘲笑姚明,还使用带有种族歧视色彩字眼”Ching Chong(中国佬)”,引发中国网民不满,中共喉舌《环球时报》亦发文炮轰。该新歌点击已超过370万,有内媒指庞普至今仍未道歉。
《环时》报道指,庞普新歌中具有争议的歌词是:”他们叫我姚明,因为我眼睛很小(They call me Yao Ming cause my eyes real low)。”之后还唱了句”Ching Chong “。《环时》指,”Ching Chong何意?”中国佬”。
简而言之,这个词名义上是在模仿和嘲笑中国人的英文发音,其中蕴含”排华浪潮”等历史因素,更加深了它的侮辱性、歧视性。演唱过程中,庞普还做出”眯眯眼”的手势。而这个手势,一直被看作是歧视黄种人的动作。
最近一两年,因为做了这动作而涉嫌歧视的欧美人士不在少数。2017年,美国超模GiGi Hadid因在朋友聚会时模仿亚洲人”眯眯眼”,引发中国网民不满,纷纷举报并拒绝她参加上海维密大骚。GiGi Hadid随后道歉:”我对于中国人民怀有极大的尊重与爱。”尽管如此,她最终还是缺席维密大骚。
同年5月,中超河北华夏幸福队前锋拉维齐,也因为一张疑似”种族歧视”的照片惹来麻烦。一名国外足球记者在社交网络放出一张拉维齐的定妆照,相中的拉维齐身穿球衣,对着镜头做出了一个双手往后拉眼角的动作。有网民表示,这个动作已涉嫌种族歧视。球员与俱乐部随后发表声明致歉,并表示只是无心,并无恶意。
《环时》指,庞普的新歌点击已超过370万,并引发许多外国网民愤怒,要求庞普向中国人道歉:”你够了,你最好是向中国人道歉。””我本来想说这可能是一首震耳欲聋的歌曲,直到我听到Ching Chong这个词。””他可能还没回应,因为他要么觉得这没什么问题,要么根本就不关心,这太没有礼貌了!”网民亦纷纷在微博上@吴亦凡,希望他能够用Rap歌反击。
不过,目前姚明和吴亦凡都没有动静,反而中国饶舌组合”天府事变”已po歌反击,歌词写道:”小朋友让我告诉你,你不该提到那个辱华词汇”、”你也尊重一下你的种族,你们早就受够了这种歧视之痛”。
