Chapter 23 Racial Discrimination
In this era, computers have just begun to enter people's lives, whether it is to buy tickets, or to browse the news, etc., they are still carried out in traditional ways, and betting and gambling are no exception.
The staff is already very efficient, but the long line is still moving forward at a turtle speed, and there are still more than a dozen people before it is Su Mu's turn, and now he finally understands why Las Vegas, Nevada, is vigorously developing the gaming tourism industry, with so many customers, it must be very profitable.
Old man Su occasionally plays mahjong, often educates Su Mu to say that small gambling is pleasant, big gambling ruins the family, since he was a child, Su Mu has seen a lot of examples of his wife being separated because of gambling, and understands that gambling is not a good thing, so he only plans to press twenty dollars to play, even if he loses, he will not feel distressed.
The manager in a suit personally came to deliver fruit to people, no one would take a lot, but the intimate service made people feel comfortable, and he didn't feel that Su Mu was young and slack off on his clothes, so he walked to him and bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Come and help your father bet?" I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I've been busy lately, and three windows were enough before, which was our mistake." ”
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, picked up a plastic fork and poked a piece of fresh cucumber, and said, "Thank you, that's right, help my father bet, he has something to deal with, and he will come over later." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately reacted that he had suffered a loss, and was taken advantage of by Boss Han, and he couldn't say that American law does not allow minors to buy alcohol, drink, drive, or gamble, so he lied.
The other party didn't continue to ask, just a polite courtesy, there are still so many guests to entertain, how can you spend more time on Su Mu, smiled and walked back, there is no police at the scene, even if there is a police, it is none of his business, because Su Mu has already indicated that he is accompanying his father, the truth is that the manager doesn't care, he can't drive the guests out, no one thinks he has a lot of money.
This conversation attracted the attention of others, and the middle-aged Italian man standing in front of Su Mu looked back, wondering which tendon was wrong, and taunted him: "Little dim sum guy, did your father tell you what to buy?
Oh yes, they don't have any experience at all! It's a joke to come to the competition, go back and play your table tennis, how about this is also a sports competition, hahahaha!"
Speaking very loudly, many adults nearby who heard this sentence also laughed, the table tennis diplomacy of the year was also famous in the United States, this is obviously a joke that Chinese sports are not good, only table tennis is famous, which is considered racial discrimination.
When he heard this sentence from the mouth of a stranger, Su Mu's face instantly turned bad, the reason why it was racial discrimination was because it was a whole race that was discriminated against, and every compatriot was included in the scope of insult.
Everyone is the same in Chinatown, no one jokes about skin color, but every Chinese person has encountered similar ridicule in other places, to a greater or lesser extent, starting from the older generation, until the young people, everyone has experienced things that are looked down upon because of skin color, and they can't stand it, racists never consider what a person or a nation is like, just because they belong to different races, so they discriminate unscrupulously.
"Dim-Sum" is the Cantonese transliteration of "dim sum", and most of the early immigrants were people from the southeast coast, many of whom opened Cantonese restaurants, including Yum-Cha (drinking tea), and served all kinds of exquisite dim-sum (dim sum), so these two words became English words, which are derogatory insults, similar to chink, Panface, Red-Monkey, and Banana.
For example, some people understand "Chinaman" as "Chinaman" and think it doesn't matter, but in fact, it is slightly more accurate, which is completely the same level as using "Nigger" to insult black people, and society has given this word a different meaning.
Didn't scold the blacks, so the blacks present laughed very happily, didn't scold the Mexicans, so the Mexicans laughed very happily, there was only one Chinese at the scene, Su Mu, Du Zhong had a stomachache and ran to squat in the pit, he stared at the Italian in front of him, and said angrily: "Are you a racist?"
How low is the quality to say such a thing? Do you know, why is it always people like you? I really feel sorry for you, how bad must your life be to say such a thing?
Don't you realize that this country was founded by immigrants? How much tax did you pay to this country last year? I bet that I will definitely contribute more to this country in the future than you, do you want me to teach you a history lesson? I can, but I really don't want to waste my time on you, it's really not worth it!"
In a country like the United States, it is never a virtue to swallow your anger, and it is the truth that a crying child has milk to eat, if Su Mu swallows his anger, the only result is that he sulks, so he stood up decisively, the Italian spoke loudly before, and now Su Mu's voice is even louder, and those people around him suddenly couldn't laugh, maybe it was to show the correctness of their position, or it could be that it was not about their own high hanging, anyway, they couldn't laugh anymore.
There are only a few words of scolding in English, Chinese scolding is powerful, Su Mu, who grew up in Chinatown, is no stranger to those foul words, but he understands that scolding back is not the solution, a word hidden in the needle, said that the person in front of him is speechless, admitting that he is a racist will get into a lawsuit, and his future life will be affected, no one wants to be labeled as a "racist", you can think, but you must not say it.
Probably didn't expect a Chinese teenager to dare to mock himself in front of so many people, and subconsciously forgot how he insulted Su Mu before, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he would teach him a lesson in the next second.
Su Mu was standing there, neither his body nor his expression changed, of course he knew that he might be beaten, but he couldn't back down at this time, his face was full of annoyance, at this time he didn't represent himself, if he retreated, even his family and friends would be humiliated.
The manager of the William Hill Gaming Company heard what Su Mu had just said, and when he saw that it was about to cause a dispute, he ran over with a serious face.
Su Mu hurriedly said: "Mr. Manager, is this how you William Hill Company tolerate racists? Isn't table tennis an Olympic-regulated competition?"
The manager, who had already figured out something, had a hint of hesitation on his face, didn't think much about it, and said decisively to the Italian: "Please go out, our company does not entertain guests like you, William Hill respects all racial equality ......"
