We are living in unprecedented times. While the world is grappling with COVID-19, we find the horrors of racism looming equally large as we, yet again, confront lurid deaths in the center of the news cycle of Black and brown people from police bias and brutality. Those of us who have been championing antiracism and justice work and bearing the burden of the "minority tax" have been overwhelmed by sudden asks from our well-intentioned White colleagues of how to best respond. In the tone of the Netflix series, "Dear White People," we further emphasize that we are not alone in trying to reach out to you, our White colleagues and leaders. Please hear our story and heed our call to action.
我们正生活在前所未有的时代。当全世界都在与 COVID-19 作斗争时,我们发现种族主义的恐怖同样迫在眉睫,因为我们又一次在新闻循环的中心看到了黑人与棕色人种因警察的偏见与暴行而悲惨死亡。我们这些一直在倡导反种族主义与正义工作、并承受着“少数族裔税”的人,被那些出于好意的白人同事们突然提出的如何做出最佳回应的请求淹没了。借用 Netflix 系列《亲爱的白人们》的语气,我们要进一步强调,在试图联系你们这些白人同事和领导时,我们并不孤单。请听听我们的故事,响应我们的行动呼吁。
