法國時尚品牌迪奧(Dior)近日再次被指涉嫌種族歧視。據稱,該品牌在媒體平台發布了一張照片,照片上是半張亞洲女性的臉,其中眼角被拉起。有人批評稱,在國際慣例中,這個提拉眼角的動作代表的是對亞裔的歧視。
French fashion brand Dior again found itself accused of racial discrimination after it allegedly posted a photo of a half face of an Asian woman lifting her eye, which is widely regarded as "slanted eye" pose — a derogatory gesture toward Asians.
盡管迪奧在一陣反對的聲音後删除了這張照片,但是此舉還是在中國和世界各地網民中引起了巨大争議。
根據網上流傳的截圖,這張已被删除的照片隻顯示了亞洲模特的半邊臉,兩根手指放在眼睛下面,而另一根手指拉起了眼角。
The deleted unnatural photo, according to screenshots circulating online, showed only a half face of the Asian model with her two fingers stuck under her eye and another pulling up the corner of her eye.
有網友表示,迪奧是一家法國公司,其審美标準與中國人不同。但也有人反駁稱,模特眯起眼睛的方式實際上反映了西方人如何看待東亞人。
無論如何,這張最新的 " 斜眼 " 照片已再次惹惱衆人,許多人呼籲抵制該品牌,稱其長期以來都未能表現出對亞洲形象的文化敏感性。
This latest "slanted eye" posture again angered Chinese netizens with many calling for a boycott against the brand, saying its chronic failing to display cultural sensitivity toward Asians won't change.
去年 7 月,中國漢服愛好者就曾指責迪奧在秋季系列的産品中抄襲了中國傳統馬面裙的設計,卻沒有說明靈感來源。海外華人很快也加入了抗議迪奧 " 文化挪用 " 行爲的行列。
Last July, Chinese Hanfu ( traditional Chinese costume ) lovers accused the brand of copycatting the design of a traditional Chinese horse face skirt in its fall 2022 collection without clarifying the source of inspiration. Overseas Chinese nationals were quick to join protests against Dior's "cultural appropriation".
中國傳統服飾愛好者表示,歡迎并鼓勵包括迪奧在内的時裝公司從中國文化中汲取靈感,但這些公司不能抄襲,并聲稱其爲原創産品。
2021 年 11 月,迪奧發布的一張海報更是在中國社交媒體上引起了巨大的争議,并遭到了全球的大規模反對。
海報上的中國模特皮膚黝黑,有雀斑、沉郁的斜眼、濃黑的妝容、長長的人造指甲、清朝盔甲和其他一些很扭曲的元素。
This comes not very long after November 2021, when Dior had faced a global backlash for a poster showing a Chinese model with freckled dark skin, gloomy squinted eyes, heavy dark makeup, long artificial nails, Qing armor and other distorted elements.
因爲迪奧先前的這些做法,許多網友稱其爲 " 慣犯 ",并敦促中國的知名品牌大使與該品牌斷絕關系。
Many netizens called Dior "recidivist," urging celebrity Chinese brand ambassadors to break ties with the label.
有網民表示,迪奧從未爲其不當行爲道歉,而公衆的縱容更會加劇這種行爲的危害。
中國日報評論稱,希望迪奧的這兩次事件能提醒其他品牌:展示産品時别再反複挑戰亞裔底線了,除非你想嘗一嘗被抵制的滋味。
Dior's second case of being insensitive should serve as a reminder to all brands who have shown Asians in a discriminatory way before to never do it again. Unless they want a taste of Asian anger, like Dior twice did.
