1 | If Online Comments Are Any Evidence, China Has an Anti-African Racism Problem | Raha Porofo ny Fanehoan-Kevitra an-tSerasera, Dia Manana Olana Fankahalana Afrikana i Shina |
2 | Screen capture of Apple Daily's video report from 2012 of Africans protesting in Guangzhou over the suspicious death of a Nigerian while in police detention. | Pikantsary avy amin'ny lahatsarin'ny tatitra navoakan'ny Apple Daily tamin'ny 2012 ahitana Afrikana mpanao fihetsiketsehana tao Guangzhou noho ny fahafatesan'ilay Nizeriana nandritra ny nitazonan'ny polisy azy. |
3 | As racial injustice makes headline after headline around the world, with a particular emphasis on the American city of Baltimore, a dialogue has been opened on issues of race and xenophobia within mainstream media. | Satria miteraka lohateny lehibe manerantany ny tsy rariny ara-poko, indrindra tamin'ny fanasongadinana manokana ny tanànan'i Baltimore ao Etazonia, dia nosokafana tao amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra ny fifanakalozan-kevitra momba ny olan'ny firazanana sy ny fankahalana vahiny. |
4 | And it's not just within the US. | Ary tsy ao Etazonia ihany izany. |
5 | Chinese Internet users have also posted countless racist remarks against people of African descent when commenting on the incident. | Namoaka fanehoan-kevitra manavakavaka tsy tambo isaina tamin'ny taranaka Afrikanina ihany koa ireo Shinoa mpiserasera rehefa maneho hevitra momba ny zava-nitranga. |
6 | China is experiencing a huge wave of African migration into major industrial areas such as Guangzhou, and as such tensions have arisen as Africans attempt to assimilate into Chinese society. | Miatrika fifindra-monina Afrikanina goavana i Shina ao amin'ireo faritra indostrialy lehibe tahaka an'i Guangzhou, ary nanjary miteraka disadisa noho ny finiavan'ny Afrikana hiempo ao anatin'ny fiaraha-monina Shinoa. |
7 | Gordon Mathews, an expert in the study of African diaspora in China, pointed out in a recent interview with a magazine that more and more Africans were married in China. | Nanasongadina tao anatin'ny antsafa niarahana tamina gazetiboky iray i Gordon Mathews vao haingana, izay manampahaizana manokana momba ny Afrikana ampielezana ao Shina, fa nihamaro ireo Afrikanina nanambady any Shina. |
8 | He found in his research that about one-tenth of the Africans had Chinese wives or girlfriends and they on average give birth to 200 African-Chinese children every year in Guangzhou. | Hitany tamin'ny fikarohana nataony fa iray ampahafolon'ny ny Afrikanina dia nanana vady na sipa shinoa ary amin'ny ankapobeny dia miteraka ny metisy Afrikana-Shinoa 200 isan-taona ao Guangzhou. |
9 | One of the obstacles to African assimilation stems from China's strict control of the foreign population, which also indirectly helps the spread of racial stereotypes. | Ny iray amin'ny sakana hiempoan'ny Afrikana any Shina ny fanaraha-maso hentitra ireo vahiny hafa firenena, izay mametraka ankolaka ihany koa ny fielezan'ny fijery an-tendrony ara-bolonkoditra. |
10 | In September 2013, new visa and residence permit regulations for foreigners took effect, which made it more difficult for individuals without corporate or institutional affiliations to work and do business in China than before. | Tamin'ny Septambra 2013, nanomboka nanankery ny fitsipika ho an'ny vahiny momba ny visa vaovao sy ny fahazoan-dalana honina, izay nanasarotra kokoa noho ny taloha ny fiasana na fanaovana fandraharahana ao Shina hoan'ny olona tsy manana orinasa na andrim-panjakana mahampikambana azy. |
11 | Once they overstayed without a valid visa, they would be subjected to a 500 yuan (approximately 80 US dollars) daily fine. | Raha vao manitatra ny fotoana ijanonany tsy manana visa manankery izy ireo dia mety iharan'ny fandoavana onitra 500 yuan (eo ho eo amin'ny 80 dolara amerikana) isan'andro. |
12 | According to a widely quoted media report in August 2014, the Guangzhou authorities have only issued about 30,000 resident permits to Africans, while there were around 300,000 undocumented Africans residing in the city, many of them in the trading business. | Araka ny tatitry ny fampitam-baovao voatsonga tamin'ny volana Aogositra 2014, dia 30.000 ihany ny fahazoan-dalana honina nomen'ny manampahefana ao Guangzhou hoan'ny Afrikanina, raha nisy manodidina ny 300.000 ireo Afrikana tsy manan-taratasy monina ao an-tanàna, ary ny maro amin'izy ireo dia ao amin'ny raharaham-barotra. |
13 | In the Guangzhou case, 90 percent of Africans are undocumented because they failed to obtain a visa. | Momba an'i Guangzhou, 90 isan-jaton'ny Afrikana no tsy manan-taratasy satria tsy nahazo visa. |
14 | They are frequently seen in the police station detention cells and hence the stereotype that Africans are associated with criminal activities is commonly shared among Chinese. | Matetika voatazona am-ponja izy ireoka izany no mahatonga ny Afrikana heverin'ny Shinoa ho tafiditra manao asan-jiolahy. |
15 | Conversations about Chinese xenophobia and overt racism towards African immigrants have emerged, and despite the greater economic partnership between China and African countries, socially, there is still progress to be made. | Nipongatra ny resadresaka momba ny fankahalan'ny Shinoa vahiny sy ny fanavakavahana mahazony Afrikana mpifindramonina, ary na dia mihatsara aza ny fiaraha-miombon'antoka ara-toekarena eo amin'i Shina sy ny firenena Afrikana, ara-piaraha-monina, dia mbola be ny tokony atao. |
16 | Attitudes expressed online and through social media have suggested a deep xenophobia amongst Chinese citizens towards Africans within China. | Ireo fihetsikamivoaka an-tserasera sy amin'ny alalan'ny media sosialy no naminavinana ny halalin'ny fankahalana vahiny eo anivon'ny olom-pirenena Shinoa manoloana ireo Afrikana ao Shina. |
17 | Apart from the Baltimore riots in the US, another recent case that stirred racist remarks online was the reaction towards the arrest of a “foreign” triad gang called “freedom fighters” in April. | Ankoatra ny rotaka tao Baltimore any Etazonia, dia tranga iray hafa nahatonga tenim-panavakavahana an-tserasera ny nisamborana ka dia ny fanehoan-kevitra amin'ny aterineto manoloana ny fisamborana andian-jiolahy “vahiny” antsoina hoe “mpiadin'ny fahafahana” tamin'ny volana Aprily. |
18 | Comments from users honed in on the race of the triad members: | NIhazakazaka nifantoka tany amin'ny volonkoditry ny mpikambana tao amin'ny andian-jiolahy ny fanehoan-kevitry ny mpiserasera : |
19 | Foreigners bullying around in China reflects their weakness. | Maneho ny fahalemeny ny fandrahonana ataon'ireo vahiny. |
20 | China should not tolerate the existence of such evil forces. | Tokony tsy hizaka ny fisian'ireo herin'ny ratsy ireo i Shina. |
21 | It's now high time for us to take action against the illegal black people residing [in China]. | Izao no fotoana ho antsika hanaovana hetsika iadiana amin'ireo olo-mainty tsy ara-dalàna monina [eto Shina]. |
22 | The above comment is liked by more than 1,670 users. | Mpisera mihoatra ny 1970 no nankasitraka io fanehoan-kevitra eo ambony io. |
23 | The majority of the comments were nationalistic with a strong sense of territorial claim, while a few were virulently racist, claiming Africans were of an inferior race, like this one with 14 likes: | Ny ankamaroan'ireo fanehoan-kevitra dia amin'ny fijery nasionalista manana fijery matanjaka amin'ny fitakiana sisintany, raha misy kosa ny vitsy izay tena mpanavakavaka mihitsy; milaza ny Afrikana ho ambany firazanana, toy ity iray ity izay nahazo mpankasitraka 14: |
24 | Black Africans are a group of people that God has forsaken. | Nilaozan'Andriamanitra ny Afrikana Mainty. |
25 | Ebola, AIDS, etc. all originated from black Africans. | Ny Ebola, SIDA, sns samy avy any amin'ny Afrikana Mainty daholo. |
26 | Their genes are full of violence. | Feno herisetra ny zenetikan'izy ireo. |
27 | They have sub-human body structure. | Manana firafitra ara-batana olona-ambany izy ireo. |
28 | Their brains are 400cc smaller than we Chinese. | Latsaka 400cc noho ny antsika Shinoa ny hadirin'ny atidohan'izy ireo. |
29 | The explicit tone and underlying xenophobia displayed online is disturbing; the implication that such views speak for the entirety of the Chinese people is highly questionable. | Manelingelina ny saina ny filantompeo mandratra sy ny fankahalana vahiny miseho an-tserasera, mampanontany tena tokoa ny fidiran'ny fomba fijery tahaka itony miteny amin'ny anaran'ny vahoaka Shinoa iray manontolo. |
30 | Emmanuel, a Ugandan student who has been studying in Beijing since 2010, told Global Voices in an interview via WeChat that Chinese xenophobia tends to be exaggerated on the internet: | Emmanuel, Ongandey mpianatra tany Beijing hatramin'ny 2010, no niteny tamin'ny Global Voices tao anatin'ny antsafa iray tamin'ny alalan'ny WeChat fa mitady ho lasa fiitaran-dresaka ny fankahalana vahiny hita amin'ny internety: |
31 | People tend to be much braver online where there's no fear of identification or retribution. | Mihasahisahy kokoa ny olona rehefa amin'ny internety rehefa tsy misy ny tahotra ny ho fantatra na ho voasazy. |
32 | Most people that spout racism online are generally people who've had no contact with black people or have been slighted by one and then hate all of them. | Ny ankamaroan'ireo olona mingerongerona fanavakavahana an-tserasera matetika dia ireo olona tsy nanana fifandraisana tamin'ny olona mainty na nataon'ny iray tsinontsinona dia ny hafa rehetra no ankahalaina. |
33 | He pointed to a herd mentality that exists online - people influenced by current trends and opinions have a tendency to absorb popular views even if they don't hold that same bias deep down: | Navoitrany ny fisian'ny rebik'ondry an-tserasera - mirona kokoa mankany amin'ny fijerin'ny besinimaro amin'io fotoana io ny olona na tsy tsy manana fomba fijery lalina momba izany akory aza: |
34 | Many will spew hate online to feel better about themselves but will genuinely be excited to meet a black person in real life. | Mandoa fankahalana an-tserasera ny maro mba hahatsiarovany tena ho maivamaivana kokoa nefa mientanentana ery hihaona amin'ny olona mainty amin'ny tena fiainana andavanandro. |
35 | He did, however, acknowledge there were those who held a “subconscious bias” towards Africans and foreigners in general, but these were not people he came across in his daily life. | Manaiky anefa izy fa misy ireo olona manana “fijery mivilana” amin'ny Afrikana sy ny vahiny amin'ny ankapobeny, saingy olona tsy mifanena aminy mihitsy ireny amin'ny fiainana andavanandrony. |
36 | Indeed, what proves to be the most influential in Chinese perceptions of Africans is the media and the internet at large: | Fa ny tena mametraka fomba fijerin'ny Shinoa manoloana ny Afrikana dia ny fampitam-baovao sy ny internety amin'ny sehatra mivelatra kokoa: |
37 | It would need the global image of Africans to improve first. | Ilaina aloha ny manatsara ny endrika ankapoben'ny Afrikana. |
38 | The perception could change in places with many Africans but not elsewhere. | Mety hiova ny fomba fijery amin'ny toerana betsaka Afrikana fa tsy ivelan'izany. |
39 | It then becomes a question of time as to whether greater integration between the African communities within China will bring about a more positive perception of Africans and foreigners at large. | Avy eo dia andro sisa no andrasana mba isian'ny fahafahan'ny vondrom-piarahamonina Afrikana miditra bebe kokoa ao Shina ary hitondra fijery tsara kokoa manoloana ny Afrikana sy ny vahiny amin'ny ankapobeny. |
40 | If the economic partnership between China and Africa is to prosper within the coming years, then domestically social cohesion between the two groups is of the upmost importance. | Raha mbola hiroborobo kokoa ao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy ho avy ny fiaraha-miasa ara-toekarena eo amin'ny Shina sy i Afrika; dia hanana ny lanjany ambony indrindra ny firindrana ara-piarahamonina eo amin'ny vondrona roa tonta. |
