今年1月以来，美国针对亚裔的歧视行为和仇恨犯罪事件数量继续上升。美国司法部高级官员26日表示，司法部将就仇恨犯罪问题展开调查。
Racial violence in the United States is not simply Black and white, even if it looks that way. Instead, it can reveal
layered
victimizations and mediated enmity. The recent incidents of anti-Asian violence in the Bay Area, in particular, highlight this: Some Asian-Americans were outraged by the violence and demanded justice, but since the perpetrators in these
cases
were Black, many others felt deeply uncomfortable with contributing to the criminalization of African-Americans.
尽管美国的种族暴力看起来是黑人与白人之间的问题，但其实事情没有那么简单。与表面情况相反的是，种族暴力揭示了针对不同人种的伤害和存在不同种族里的间接敌意。最近在湾区发生的针对亚裔的暴力事件尤其凸显了这一点：一些亚裔美国人被暴力事件激怒，要求将施暴者绳之以法，但由于这些事件的行凶者是黑人，其他许多人对将非裔美国人定罪深感不安。
And here we come to the heart of the complexity of “speaking up” for Asian-Americans.
Thanks to the “Model Minority” myth — popularized in 1966 by the sociologist William Petersen and later used as a direct
counterpoint
to the “welfare queen” stereotype applied to Black Americans — Asian-Americans have long been used by mainstream white culture to shame and
drive a wedge
against other minority groups.
我们从中看到了为亚裔美国人“站出来说话”的复杂性的核心所在。

They are always caught in a no-win position between whites and Black Americans. They are thought to be “white
adjacent
,” but of course they can never belong to the club. They are persistently racialized, yet they often don’t count in the American racial equation. The central, though often unspoken, question underlying all of this is: Are Asian-Americans injured, or injured enough, to deserve our national attention?
亚裔总是处于夹在美国白人和黑人之间取胜无望的位置。他们被认为“与白人接近”，但当然永远不可能成为那个俱乐部的成员。他们总是遭到种族歧视，但是在美国种族平等中却不会考虑他们。所有这些背后的核心问题（尽管不常有人提）是：亚裔美国人受到的伤害或受到了足够多的伤害，值得引起我们全国的注意吗？
This recent
onslaught
of anti-Asian violence can partly be attributed to our former president, who spoke nonstop of the “Chinese virus” and even the “kung flu,” but he could not have rallied the kind of hatred that he did without this country’s long history of systemic and cultural racism against people of Asian descent.
最近针对亚裔的暴力攻击在一定程度上可以归咎于我们的前总统，他不停地提出“中国病毒”甚至“功夫流感”等说法，但这个国家如果没有长期存在针对亚裔的系统性和文化上的种族主义，他是不可能激发出如此仇恨的。
I think of James Baldwin’s words: “This is the crime of which I accuse my country and my countrymen, and for which neither I nor time nor history will ever forgive them, that they have destroyed and are destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and do not know it and do not want to know it.”
我想起了詹姆斯·鲍德温的话：“我以这个罪行指控我的国家和我的国人，无论是我，还是时间或历史，都不会原谅他们这个罪行，他们已经并正在摧毁成千上万的生命，他们不知道，也不想知道。”
