Multicultural education Puns

The Chinese-Australian man who was racially abused by a school-aged boy in a now viral video has said he does not want to visit hate on the group of children involved but rather wants to use the incident to educate the community about racism.

A video taken by staff at Folks Gallery in Dickson on Friday shows a boy racially abuse staff before spitting on the cafe’s outdoor table.

The clearly identifiable teenage boy is shown filming cafe staff, making racist references to their appearance and referring repeatedly to “viruses” before spitting deliberately on an outside table and telling staff “clean that up”. Two girls standing on the footpath continue mocking staff members while the boy makes an obscene gesture.

The cafe’s owner, Vincent Chen, said he had asked a group aged in their early teens to stop smoking outside his store and told them to leave when they started racially abusing him.

The group allegedly responded with a statement along the lines of “We won’t leave, you leave Australia”, and made comments involving COVID-19, Mr Chen said.

“At first I was of course angry, if someone talked to you like that you would be angry. I was shocked,” he said.

“I have lived in Australia and Canberra for so many years and I did not expect this to happen because people are really, really nice to me.

“We know we are aliens, we are coming from other countries, people here might think we will rob their jobs, I don’t know. We try our best to contribute to society, we have our business here, we choose to live here because we love the country.”

The boy in the video has since apologised to Mr Chen.

Racism against Asian-Australians increased during the pandemic: one ANU study from late last year found that more than four in five had experienced instances of discrimination between January and October 2020.

Mr Chen said the incident was not isolated. He said that other businesses in Dickson and his friends in Melbourne had reported similar examples of racist abuse, but he did not want to use the video going viral on social media as an excuse to spread hate.

“It is not just his fault, it is what people are taught or brought up with,” he said.

“It is what information they have been given. They have never been to China, maybe they have never had a friend who is Chinese, they did not know how nice we are. [Instead,] they learn from the mass

Would anyone be able to send me a syllabus for this class? Thank you!!

Do you know of any short stories or novel excerpts that show a multicultural perspective of education. For instance, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry which shows what segregated education was like, but more contemporary.

Watching the George Floyd video made me feel sick. We need to use our talents and help these kids understand racism, respect, history, kindness. We need to help.
