關於 cultural stereotypes ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

I enjoyed chatting candidly with Ming Pao — on culture, heritage, and breaking stereotypes.

I appreciate how they were able to capture the cultural nuances that are part of my identity, while also pushing forward the reality that in many ways, the cultural divide between the Philippines and Hong Kong is not so far apart as one may think.

“Filipinos seem to be both near and far to us... But Crisel Consunji, a Filipino who has lived in Hong Kong for 13 years and is a performer and educator, tells us that Filipinos are far more than these vague impressions of ‘others.’ From their interesting daily life culture, we may be able to find some traces of our own culture.” (As translated online)

Thank you for sharing a lot of the things I’m passionate about, and for letting me talk about the culture and heritage I come from ❤️

Daily advice for HK immigrants to the West:

Regarding church membership, my advice would be the same as my previous post about hanging about with your own people. One of the worst things to do is to be isolated. It’s important to join a church community to meet others, especially if you’re a Christian. The second worst thing is to remain ONLY with your own people in church by joining a church only for recent HK immigrants. Despite what you hear from all the so-called influencers (i.e. KOLs), the overseas Chinese churches are quite complex. Most of these KOLs haven’t had an extended stay in any country outside to HK, let alone being exposed to multiple Chinese churches. Some Chinese churches are dysfunctional (I’ll talk about that later) while others are thriving. I do know this because I’ve spoken in every sort of Chinese churches of all different sizes, denominations and convictions all across N. America. By only joining churches with recent HK immigrants, you’ll soon land in your own echo chamber, and you’ll have a really tough time adjusting. If so, why move to a different country? When you join the local Chinese churches, you’ll find that there’re many kinds of Chinese with many convictions. While your experience is totally legitimate, you shouldn’t discount the experience of others. The world doesn’t come in stereotypes. Despite what you think and hear, there’re also some very excellent mainland Chinese who can be really good friends. It may take some time to finally get to know or meet them. It will take some time to adjust to the cultural differences. According to all non-Chinese, we’re all Chinese to your host country. No matter whether you hold on to your HKer identity, you’ll have to cope with being “Chinese”. That means you will have to associate with and befriend other types of Chinese eventually. Your value as a HKer increases when you have a chance to share your experience with them. During the protest, I’ve had very good Mainland Chinese friends telling me that they’ve been praying daily for HK. That’s not something you’ll hear from the news, but that’s no less true. Keep your mind and heart open. You won’t regret it.

新聞說，Dr Seuss 的童書作品中，有六本將會停止再版，原因是它們被批評為作品 hurtful portrayals of cultural stereotypes。據說，Dr Seuss 的童書 98% 的角色都是白種人，而有色人種只佔 2%，而這 2% 都是男性，而且：Males of color are only presented in subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles，他們都是以刻板的形象出現，見下圖。

原來我家孩子非常喜歡、家傳戶曉的 The Cat in the Hat （不屬於被停止再版的六本）也被批評帶有歧視成分：

The Cat’s physical appearance, including the Cat’s oversized top hat, floppy bow tie, white gloves, and frequently open mouth, mirrors actual blackface performers; as does the role he plays as ‘entertainer’ to the white family—in whose house he doesn’t belong.（見最尾一張圖）

我和孩子看 The Cat in the Hat 時真的從來沒有想起過黑臉裝扮（blackface）的表演者，甚至一直只覺得它不過是一隻神奇的貓；而他在上述 6 本作品中所繪的東方人 — 穿木屐、咪咪眼、束辮子、手拿著筷子和湯麵，大概我家孩子只視之為搞怪角色而已；而在 Yerka 島上兩個類似猴子的角色是否令孩子對非洲人產生或強化偏見呢，其實我之前也全沒有想過；這些形象是否含有歧視、貶低、羞辱的視角，存在很大的爭議性吧。

#甚麼都要政治正確的年代

首位 MCU 漫威電影宇宙亞裔超級英雄來了！《尚氣與十環傳奇》是第一部以亞裔演員為主的漫威電影，除了挑大樑的劉思慕，陣容包括梁朝偉、楊紫瓊等巨星。但《尚氣》至今未獲得中國上映許可，萬一因失去中國票房導致收入不如預期，漫威是否還會留下這個角色？

Every year many students from China leave their hometowns and join the ranks of their Singapore peers. While we share a common Chinese descent and heritage, our society and education systems have shaped us differently. In this video, Ben and I share some of the stereotypes that we used hold and our views on the more deeply rooted cultural and social reasons behind those stereotypes. Look beyond the stereotypes, and we can all find true friendship or even relationship in the person~

在這次的影片中我們要回答我之前在IG請你們回答對我或我們夫妻有什麼猜想，在不認識的情況下覺得我們是怎麼樣的人。很多台灣人對外國人或是異國戀都有一些想像。我們整理了全部的回答，在影片回應給你們。希望你們覺得有趣！

I asked you guys on Instagram what assumptions you have about me, a Canadian in Taiwan, or about us, as an international or AMWF couple living in Taiwan, and we respond to them in this video! Thanks for watching!
