上个月的事，被黑人小孩误会说我说N WORD。 起因是一个朋友介绍的一个黑人小孩， 我找他有点事。本来一直TEXT，有天早晨我特别着急，没时间TEXT， 直接语音，而且一开始说的是汉语， ＂那个， 嗯，这样＂然后才反应过来改英文，后来他留言说我跟他说N WORD， 他非常不开心。 后来我赶紧解释道歉并且把NYC那个COMMUNICATION教授的课堂发言关于那个的录像给他转去看
真实事件，那个无辜被打死的地铁里的孩子是不是在不小心说了汉语那个。我没有给谁开脱的意思，就是讲下自己的事。 跟我说话的黑人孩子是朋友介绍过来的， 我在家习惯说中文， 那天早晨好几件事凑一起一不小心说了中文，立刻就改英语了。 我还有跟这孩子解释的机会。
如果那个孩子也是在讲电话，说的中文，让黑人误会了，被打死了， 这孩子就因为说了那个就该死了？
明明是为了抢手里拎着那个白色袋子吧，最开始是受害人拎着的，打死以后黑人拎着下地铁了
这是凭空捏造被害人一定做错了什么？
你跟非华人发语音说汉语，我咋不信呢。
在肯德基，一群排队的人里有个黑大妈。她后面站着一对母子 那个儿子，指着牌子说，妈妈，我要内个，内个。 然后他妈继续问他，内个，内个，啊？ 儿子指着继续说，内个，内个，内个，啊！ 黑大妈回头看了又看，看了又看，一脸不爽
但是，这个段子在美国竟然没有事情，大家都笑得一塌糊涂。 不知道这是啥时候的段子，应该就是近十年吧。
你脾气挺好，查查脑子吧。我通常不这么mean
如果那个孩子也是在讲电话，说的中文，让黑人误会了，被打死了， 这孩子就因为说了那个就该死了？
关键点在于，亚裔男的言行（我们目前并不知道所有的真相，所以NYPD要求知情公众提供信息）是否justify对方对他施加这样暴力的攻击。如果并不是，施暴者需要受到法律的制裁。
你是在JUSTIFY如果黑人怀疑别人说了Nword可以对那个怀疑的人做任何事吗？
你知道除了中文，西班牙语黑色也很像Nword吗？怎么不见西班牙人反省自己的语言？
凡事往最极端想，不搞清楚事实真相就随便指责别人是多么错误的事情。
you should stand up for yourself and lecture that kid should not assume the worst for people he does not know。
nonono，无论这个亚裔说了什么，都不能justify这个黑人的行为。。。华人最不缺的就是楼主还有层主这种给施暴者找借口的人。。。
西班牙语黑色是 Negro，怎么不见黑人抱怨呢？问题是因为读音像吗？
跟着无理取闹的人的思维走，还要解释，动机是什么？
我自己都非常惊讶，真的会遇上这种事， 非常受影响，以后跟黑人打交道都很受影响
大姐，反话看不出来吗

我是说NYPD需要全面调查，也不是你认为我认为然后就可以结案的。哪里在给施暴者找借口？
而且我并不认为亚裔男即使说了什么就应该遭受这样的暴行。
嗯，如果你被误会了，为什么LZ你当时没有被揍死呢？甚至当时也没有被骂呢？
毫无根据的胡扯受害人有罪，真是没谁了
