点评:When attending this park I
we entered the Scream Attraction . Right from the start I noticed staff pointing and appearing to talking about myself and my wife . Although I felt uncomfortable , I let it go as maybe I had made a mistake . However once inside the undue attention continued . Firstly the attendant tried to separate us motioning for my wife to join another queue, I advised we were together and this seemed to be accepted . However shortly after a further 3 times they requested we moved further down the queue where we started at the front . On the 3rd occaision this now had us completely at the end of the queue . I asked why we were being constantly moved back and was ignored . Out of the 50-60 people we were the only ones being asked to move and coincidentally we were the only White people there . This was very uncomfortable, ruining our day . When I asked to be let out of the ride , and questioned the apparent discrimination they became apologetic but still could offer no reason for our special treatment.
We left the park , I complained to a supervisor on the way out , who advised he would investigate, without even taking our name .
Of course being white basically means people can treat you however they like without fear of being challenged . Had I behaved in a similar manner towards another race I’d have lost my job by now .
翻译:去这个公园游玩时,
我们进入了尖叫过山车(Scream Attraction)。一开始我就注意到工作人员指指点点,似乎在议论我和我的妻子。虽然我感到不舒服,但我还是没在意,心想也许是我做错了什么。然而,进入过山车后,这种不必要的关注依然存在。首先,工作人员试图将我们分开,示意我妻子去另一个队伍。我解释说我们是一起的,他们似乎接受了。然而,不久之后,他们又三次要求我们往后挪,而我们原本是从队伍最前面开始排队的。第三次,他们把我们直接推到了队伍的末尾。我问他们为什么总是让我们往后挪,但他们置之不理。在五六十人的队伍中,只有我们被要求挪动,而且巧合的是,我们也是那里唯一的白人。这让我们非常不舒服,毁了我们的一天。当我要求离开过山车,并质疑这种明显的歧视时,他们表示了歉意,但仍然无法解释为什么会这样对待我们。
我们离开了公园,出门时我向一位主管投诉了此事,他表示会调查,甚至都没问我们的名字。
当然,身为白人基本上意味着人们可以随意对待你而不用担心受到质疑。如果我对其他种族的人也采取了类似的行为,我现在早就丢掉工作了。
