点评:I went on this excursion with my family this past weekend, and I left extremely disappointed. Honestly, I wish I could get my money back.
We were the only family of color on the boat, and I couldn't help but notice a pattern in how the host interacted with the passengers. Each time he came around with the sea creatures, he passed over my family and went directly to the White families. Their children were given the opportunity to hold, touch, and see the animals up close, while my family was skipped.
The first time it happened, I spoke up and said, "Hey, my kids would like to hold them too," and only then did he come back to us. The second time, I intentionally stayed quiet to see if it would happen again—and it did. Once again, my family was passed over. My daughter was especially upset because she didn't get the same opportunity to participate as the other children.
I can't say for certain why we were treated differently, but based on what I personally observed, it left me feeling singled out and unwelcome. No family should leave an experience feeling that way.
I've attached a photo of the host from our excursion. If you're a family of color considering Assateague Adventure, I wanted to share my experience so you can make an informed decision. Unfortunately, this was not the welcoming, inclusive family outing we were expecting.
翻译:上个周末我和家人参加了这次游览活动,结果却让我极为失望。说实在的,我真希望能把钱要回来。
我们是船上唯一的有色人种家庭,我注意到主持人与乘客互动时存在某种规律:每次他带着海洋生物出现时,都会直接略过我们一家,转而去接待白人家庭。那些白人家庭的孩子们都有机会亲手触摸、近距离观察这些动物。而我的家人却被忽略了。
第一次发生这种情况时,我出声说道:“嘿,我的孩子们也想抱一抱啊。”直到那时他才回到我们身边。第二次,我故意保持沉默,想看看这种情况是否会重演——结果果然如此。我的家人又一次被忽略了。我的女儿尤其难过,因为她没能像其他孩子一样获得参与的机会。
我无法确定为什么我们会受到不同的对待。不过,就我个人的亲身经历而言,那种体验让我觉得自己被区别对待且不受欢迎。任何家庭都不应经历这样的感受。
我附上了此次出游时带队人员的照片。如果您是有色人种家庭,正在考虑选择Assateague Adventure作为出游地,我希望分享自己的经历,以便您能做出明智的决定。遗憾的是,这次出游并未如我们所期待的那样,成为一次温馨且包容的家庭活动。
