    072509-思维习惯

    这两天,哈佛大学的Gates教授在家里被警察拘捕这件事在媒体上沸沸扬扬,甚至惊动了总统。
    在一个中文论坛上看到这样子的对话:
    一个人说,这里的确有种族歧视的成分,要是换了个白人教授就不会抓人。
    另一个人说,要是换了个白人教授,就不会跟警察骂娘。
    其他不论,单从这一来一往的对话,可以看出一些海外的中国人的比较粗暴的思维习惯,那就是不针对具体事情,而是动辄对个人和一个群体进行攻击。在“七五”事件后网上的一些讨论,也反映了这种特征。
    特别是后面的那句话,谁要是平时公开地这么说,一定会被朋友同事认为是个racist。其实完全可以换一种说话:如果同样的事情发生了,一个白人教授因为动粗口被警察抓了,可能根本成不了大新闻,更不会惊动总统。这样说就从对人格的贬损转变为对制度的评价,offensive的意味就少多了。

    这可不一样,前者是暗示白人的平均素质比黑人高,后者是指在发生同样情况下(仅仅肤色不同)媒体的可能态度。
