In the wake of the November 9 terrorist attack in (Bourke Street), Berkeley Street, everyone was overwhelmed by this sudden shock and grief.
That`s when a white internet celebrity named Dave Lee posted a video on his pipeline channel to express his view about the attack.
Unexpectedly, the title of this video is "how Australian immigrants became greedy in CBD, Melbourne."
While everyone was wondering why there was such an inexplicable topic, the content of the video made Chinese Australians completely angry.
"greedy Chinese only spend Australian money, enjoy the environment, and do nothing else," Dave Lee said in the video.
Video of white internet celebrities mocking Chinese for sparking controversy: Chinese indifference, cowardice, greed!
After the Bourke Street attacks, many Chinese were mourning the memory of the innocent coffee shop owner Sisto.
Still silently in the "cart man" charity fund-raising website to contribute their own heart, this concern and kindness although quiet but warm everyone`s heart
Just then, a video blogger called Dave Lee posted a 4-minute video on his own pipeline channel to express his views on the incident; Oddly enough, the entire video doesn`t show Dave`s sadness or shock about the incident;
Instead, he spent a lot of time mocking the Chinese in Australia, accusing them of "cowardice, indifference and greed" in the terrorist attack.
At the beginning of the video, Dave said "quite deeply": "if you have been to CBD, in Melbourne recently, you will find that there is no & # 39; White Australian & # 39;." The words seem to imply that only white people living in Australia are really Australian..
Then, half-jokingly, "the Somalia refugee, after a long search in Melbourne`s CBD crowd, found a few white men to stab him." Dave`s tone of voice is likely to upset everyone who`s worried about it. After all, this is not a matter worth teasing.
Next, Dave added: "I have to say, I don`t see any Chinese coming out to help in the attack."
"these Chinese are standing in the back, taking a picture with a cell phone, videotaping, just not going up to help."
After a sarcastic fight with terrorist, Dave said, "if you look at the real Australians, you will know that you are coming out to help. Look at the man who came to help with the stool. This is the real Aussie."
After a wave of sarcasm and ridicule and a wave of praise of "Australians," the white internet celebrity seemed to think that the force was not enough, and then said, "these Chinese immigrants have come to Australia to do nothing, and they are here for money. For the sake of Australia`s good environment, they greedily suck Australia without doing anything, and this is the face of these immigrants. "
After that, the whole video is basically over. In the final promotion of his own pipeline channel, Dave also said humorously: "next time you meet terrorist, remember to take a cart to fight with them." I wonder what such a repulsive sense of humour is in the midst of such a nation-wide sorrowful event.
02 bragging that his video call is "rigorous and objective" can only say that he can skip his feet and delete comments.
Funnily enough, Dave, in order to show his rigor and logic, almost every video on his pipeline channel says, if you have a different point of view, you`re welcome to talk to me, but you have to have evidence. You have to convince me, or you don`t look any different from a fool. "
However, in the comments on the video mocking Chinese immigrants, the editor has been searching for a long time to object to the comments, and only five or six comments calling into question Dave`s views have been found in the end, while the others have slipped away to express their support:
"it`s really interesting. These onlookers just look at nothing and do nothing. Instead, it`s the cart. It`s a hero."
"Dave, you`re right. None of these Chinese bystanders came up to help."
"Oh, my God, I`m so proud. I`m white. Don`t be afraid of these Chinese. They`re just a bunch of cowards, Chinese cowards who can only hide behind their phones."
"all Asian faces know is taking pictures on mobile phones and doing nothing."
"Dave, you`re right. These Chinese are really disgusting. They should kick this trash out of Australia and let them go."
"most Chinese are cold and inhumane. I dated a Chinese girl before, and when I wanted to give money to beggars, she criticized me for doing so. They were so dehumanized."
There are only a few pitiful comments, in a single force to counter-attack.
"Dave, I`m really curious where you were at the time of the terrorist attack. Behind your computer screen and keyboard? Or are you taking pictures of video as well as the Chinese you criticized? "
"most people don`t interfere in this situation, but they`re not just immigrants."
"as a Chinese, I have to say that there has been no such terrorist attack in China for many years. Having experienced this kind of thing in the center of the city abroad has really opened our eyes to the Chinese people who live in a peaceful environment. So I`m sorry we don`t know what to do with terrorist in this situation.
Besides, you`re just doing this video, it`s just eye-catching, it`s not going to make you famous. "
Interestingly, Dave panicked as more and more Chinese came to the video to fight back.
He deleted the well-founded counter-criticism that made him uncomfortable; then, 12 hours ago, he left himself a message and set it to the top, and said:
"my God, the Chinese fifty cents have come to attack my video, and this is the evidence that they will produce threat to the West."
I can`t help it when I see this top self-comment editor, Excuse me?.
Don`t you welcome a well-founded rebuttal, brother, and say that you are rich in objective, fair and detailed information?
You scolded us so much that we didn`t think of it. Let`s explain and refute it and turn it into a threat Western society. It`s not okay to name a hat on the Chinese casually.
03 Australian police have said: don`t risk yourself to step forward
There is a provision in Australian law that encourages citizens to participate in assisting law enforcement, and that is the right to citizen arrest. This clause allows citizens to use force to control criminals and assist the police.
But even so, in teaching citizen how to use its arrest power, the Australian ACT Police Department emphasised: don`t risk yourself to step forward; don`t jump in the dark when you`re not familiar with criminals.
Once you find yourself in danger, don`t act again. Call the police or other emergency contact number and let the police handle it.
Not only is this what the Australian police think, the Chinese Embassy in Spain, the official agency of China`s overseas country, also issued a circular reminding all overseas Chinese after the terrorist attacks in Barcelona in August 2017 that they must calm down in the event of a terrorist attack. Rapid escape; In order to ensure their own safety, then to help the elderly, children and women; after the attack, do not stay on the scene, return to safety.
China Xinhuanet has also written to discuss the events of acting bravely: seeing justice is more worthy of being advocated than doing justice. "Pivot`s courage is crude and low-level at any time."
Editor`s concluding remarks:
It takes more than courage to save people.
When Dave Lee was wantonly mocking the Chinese, did he think that when the: Bourke Street attack took place, most of the Chinese at the scene were students and tourists, and everyone knew nothing about the situation at the scene? How do you "stand up" to fight the heinous terrorist? In the absence of professional training, will "acting in good faith", to a certain extent, add to the confusion of the police in handling the scene?
To be sure, their courage is admirable, whether it be a cart man or a chair man.
But when faced with a mob who is carrying a murder weapon, according to the advice of the police, the first thing to do is to keep yourself safe. Is it a coward?. Welcome to the message area.
