在美國加州求學的南韓留學生安妮(Annie An)與同樣來自南韓的同學尚恩(Sean Lee)日前在當地一間星巴克討論功課,沒想到他們使用韓文交談時,卻遭到了坐在一旁的中年白人婦女言語歧視,不僅嗆他們說的韓文聽起來很「噁心」(disgusting),還說「這裡是美國,只能講英語!」該影片被PO到網路上後,引起不少曾到過美國留學或旅遊的民眾共鳴,紛紛表示自己也確實遇過這種秉持白人優越(White Supremacy)的美國人。

在舊金山求學的留學生安妮近日在自己的臉書上貼出了一段影片,表示當時與同學尚恩在咖啡店裡討論功課時,因為兩人都來自於南韓,自然而然使用韓文進行對話,想不到當安妮起身去櫃台取餐時,一名白人婦人突然對大叫:「這裡是美國,只能說英文!」
安妮聽到後相當錯愕,回應婦人「雖然這裡是美國,但我們還是有自由使用自己的語言吧!」,但婦人竟然開始反駁:「總統歐巴馬說過人在美國就應該說美語!」還嗆她:「妳的語言聽起來很噁心!」

根據外媒報導,當時店員注意到該名婦人的侮辱性言論後,走過來向她說「顧客可以說他們喜歡的任何語言」並要求她離開店裡,但婦人卻反駁「只要他們兩個能夠安安靜靜的都不說話就沒事」,隨後還表示店員服務態度不周要客訴。最後店員無奈報警處理,而警察到場後,婦人還是繼續說「很討厭聽到韓文!」讓安妮忍不住感嘆:「希望沒有任何移民或留學生會遇到這麼糟糕的事。」

安妮與尚恩的貼文引起了各國網友的熱烈討論,紛紛表示「美國不意外」、「我之前也遇過這樣歧視東方人的美國人」、「我真的不懂白人在自我優越什麼」不過也有不少網友說,其實該名婦人的行為太偏激「妳遇到這樣的事一定很難受,但不要誤會這個婦人的想法代表整體美國人」、「她這樣的美國人其實很少數」。point 254 | 1
