1422. Problems Neglected (1/2)
Hearing the latter sentence, Wang Bo was a little angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He looked at the Argentine who was talking and said, "Poso, your name is Poso, and you drive a Honda Accord, right?" ”
"Yes, Mayor Mare." The Argentine who had been named replied.
Wang Bo nodded and said: "Very good, you know, our Sunset Town is a world-class town, and every resident has the obligation to maintain this standard, but the Honda Accord should not be a car for world-class township residents, which will lower the style of our entire town, I suggest you should change cars, such as the Mercedes-Benz of the S series." ”
Hearing his words, Mr. and Mrs. Balich laughed.
Poso was more embarrassed and said, "But the mayor of the town, everyone's cars are not expensive, and George also drives a second-hand car." ”
"Shet, you idiot." Someone rolled their eyes helplessly.
Wang Bodao: "Yes, if you want to stay in a world-class town, then you have to change cars." ”
"No, Mayor Mare, we have the freedom to use the car we like."
Wang Bo pointed to Balich and said, "Their family also has the freedom to decorate the yard according to their own preferences. ”
Someone else refused to give up, saying: "There is a residents' association in our community, and this is the will of the residents' association." You know, mayor, the residents' association is like a corporate body, and we have always acted with rules that protect all residents. ”
Wang Bo said with a smile: "I know that I approved the establishment of your residents' association. ”
"Then you should understand what power we have."
"I know what your obligations are, since the residents' associations work for the benefit of all residents, there are still many problems in the community that have not yet been resolved: garbage and sewer blockages in the places where the projects are generated. In fact, there are honestly doubts about whether the duties of your residents' associations are being fulfilled. ”
The confrontation attracted a lot of people in the community, and New Zealanders loved to watch the excitement as well.
After listening to Wang Bo's words, some people began to applaud and said: "Well said the mayor, the residents' association is too lenient in this matter!" ”
"These tires are not garbage."
"Maybe it's rubbish for some people, but it's a treasure for others, and they can just make good use of it?"
"If she bought the painted tires from a gardening store, wouldn't that be fine?"
"What is garbage? Useless things that have been discarded, there is no doubt that these tires are not useless things, they are works of art. ”
Undeterred, the residents' associations and the protesters confronted the crowd of onlookers, and the two sides got into a direct argument.
"Tires are toxic, and the toxins they break down release and affect other houses."
"I'd hate living in a neighborhood with people who think used tires are acceptable, and maybe there are places that can but can't show up where I live!"
"Tires release toxic substances into the soil, so never use them in the garden. These retrofitted tires are still discarded old tires, essentially painted garbage. ”
Wang Bo looked at the two groups of people who were arguing, and suddenly found a pattern.
The majority of those who oppose this are people of color, including Asians, South Americans, Africans, and some Europeans.
And these people who defend the Balich family are not completely the same skin color, but Wang Bo has the impression that several of them are Americans.
In other words, it is more like an international war waged on the tires, and the Americans are now Germany in World War II, besieged by most of the countries of the world.
He walked to the middle and pushed away the crowd that was about to be crowded, held up the police badge and said sharply: "I think it's too boring to stay in the town, and I want to visit the prison, don't you?" ”
"Mayor Mare, this is bullying!" Ball said angrily.
Someone immediately said: "You Americans are also afraid of being bullied? Yes, you wage war all over the world, you sow discord between regions, you are damned warmongers! ”
"Warmongers get out of Sunset!"
Now the situation is clear, Wang Bo has been wondering, whether it is the residents' association or the residents, everyone has always been safe and sound, how could there be such a big conflict at this time because of some tires?
In fact, this conflict has nothing to do with tires, and what everyone wants to complain about is the identity of the Americans, not what the Americans have done.
Understanding this matter, Wang Bo has to pay attention to it, which involves racial issues, and if it is not handled well, there will be many community problems in the future.
After thinking about it for a moment, he asked, "Hey, you never thought of yourself as a Sunset resident, did you?" ”
The group looked at him in surprise, and someone said, "Of course not, we are glad to live here." ”
Wang Bo shook his head and said: "No, you regard this as a tourist destination, in fact, your nationality has not changed, you are Argentine, you are Mexican, you are Egyptian, you are Iraqi, and you also think of yourself as an American, right?" ”
"Of course not." Some in the crowd denied it, but more realized what he was saying and fell silent.
Wang Bodao: "What the government has done, it has nothing to do with the people, we are just ordinary people, why did you plant the things done by the US government on Mr. Balich's head?" Is this fair? Maybe you want to educate your children like this? Perpetuating hatred on them? ”
"If so, then you will be satisfied, and soon you will find out that in schools German children only play with Germans, American children only play with Americans, and Chinese children only play with Chinese, is this interesting?"
Wang Bo patted the shoulders of the people standing in front of the confrontation crowd one by one, and said, "For the sake of you children, don't be so narrow-minded everyone." ”
In order to prevent them from caring about their words, he added: "Remember, I am the same as you, I am Chinese, the eight-nation coalition invaded us, the countries of East Asia are still resisting us, if I become like you, you know that there will be no place for you here!" ”
Now everyone is honest, and there is nothing more weighty than this.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Wang Bo called out to several members of the residents' association: "If I find out in the future that your organization is still doing this kind of thing, that is, using the public for personal gain, and the public for personal revenge, then there is no need for this organization to continue to be established." ”
"Yes, Mayor Mare, we got it." Several people said dejectedly.
After solving this problem, Wang Bocai noticed that he had been ignoring the racial problem of the town's residents.
Racial discrimination and racial incompatibility exist everywhere unless someone has a status and ability to the point that others need to look up to, so that conflict racial discrimination is acceptable to all.
