去年普莉雅伍爾奇與薇諾娜郭造訪了美國 50 州，收集關於種族和多元交織性的個人故事。現在她們的任務是要讓每一位美國人都能夠有足夠的工具，來協助了解、指引和改善這個由種族分裂所建構成的世界。在這場動態的演說中，普莉雅伍爾奇與薇諾娜郭把她們收集到的個人故事和研究與統計數字搭配連結，揭示出我們在種族識能上的兩項根本隔閡，並說明我們能如何去克服。

我們心想：「我們懂啦，
種族主義嘛，我們懂的。」
種族主義嘛，我們懂的。」
00:28
But we weren't even close.

但其實我們離「懂」還差得遠呢。
00:32
Winona Guo: So we decided
that we had to listen and learn more.

薇諾娜郭：所以，我們決定
我們得要再多聽多學。

00:51
Today, we are here to raise
our standards of racial literacy,

今天，我們來這裡是要提高
我們對於種族識能的標準，

a world structured by racial division.

這個由種族分裂所建構成的世界。
01:12
We want us all to imagine
the community as a place

我希望所有人能夠把
這個共同社會想為這樣的地方：
這個共同社會想為這樣的地方：
01:15
where we not only feel proud

在這裡，我們不僅為

01:18
but can also invest in others'
experiences as if they were our own.

75120
1296
薇：你們可能會認為——
01:28
(Applause)
23
76440
2560
（掌聲）
01:31
And you'd think after 12 years
24
79840
2776
你們可能會認為，經過了十二年，
01:34
somebody in or out of the classroom
would have helped us understand --
would have helped us understand --
25
82640
3296
教室內或教室外總會
有人協助我們了解——
有人協助我們了解——
01:37
PV: At a basic level at least --
26
85960
1576
普：至少在最基本的層級上——
01:39
WG: The society we live in.
27
87560
1496
薇：了解我們所處的社會。
01:41
PV: The truth for almost
all our classmates is that they don't.
all our classmates is that they don't.

同學而言，事實是「沒有」。

01:45
WG: In communities around our country,
so many of which are racially divided,
so many of which are racially divided,
29
93640
4576
薇：我們國內有好多的
社區都被種族給分裂，
社區都被種族給分裂，
01:50
PV: If you don't go searching
for an education about race,
for an education about race,
30
98240
2776
普：如果你不去尋找
關於種族的教育，
關於種族的教育，
01:53
for racial literacy --
31
101040
1296
尋找種族識能，
01:54
WG: You won't get it.
32
102360
1616
薇：你就得不到。
01:56
It won't just come to you.
33
104000
1736
它不會自己來找你。
01:57
PV: Even when we did
have conversations about race,
have conversations about race,
34
105760
2416
普：就算我們已有關於種族的對話，
02:00
our understanding was always superficial.
35
108200
2040
我們的了解仍然是很表面的。
02:03
We realized that there are two big gaps
36
111240
3136
我們發現在我們的種族識能當中
02:06
in our racial literacy.
37
114400
1560
有兩個巨大的隔閡。
02:08
WG: First, the heart gap:
38
116320
2696
薇：第一個是心的隔閡：
02:11
an inability to understand
each of our experiences,
each of our experiences,
39
119040
4416
無法理解我們的每一次經歷，
02:15
to fiercely and unapologetically
be compassionate beyond lip service.
be compassionate beyond lip service.
40
123480
6080
激烈而毫不抱歉地表達出
超越口頭話的同理心。
超越口頭話的同理心。
02:22
PV: And second, the mind gap:
41
130440
2896
普：第二個是腦的隔閡：
02:25
an inability to understand the larger,
systemic ways in which racism operates.
systemic ways in which racism operates.
42
133360
5800
無法了解種族主義所採用的
更大、系統化的運作方式。
更大、系統化的運作方式。
02:32
WG: First, the heart gap.
43
140920
1720
薇：首先，心的隔閡。
02:35
To be fair, race did pop up
a few times in school, growing up.
a few times in school, growing up.
44
143560
4216
老實說，在成長過程中，
種族的確有在學校中出現幾次。
種族的確有在學校中出現幾次。
02:39
We all defend our social justice education
45
147800
2136
我們都會守護我們的社會正義教育，
02:41
because we learned
about Martin Luther King Jr.
about Martin Luther King Jr.
46
149960
2776
因為我們學過金恩博士、
02:44
and Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks.
47
152760
2776
哈莉特塔布曼，
以及羅莎帕克斯的事蹟。
以及羅莎帕克斯的事蹟。
02:47
But even in all of those conversations,
48
155560
2296
但就算是在那些對談當中，
02:49
race always felt outdated, like,
49
157880
2096
感覺起來種族也像是過時的，就像：
02:52
"Yes, slavery, that happened
once upon a time,
once upon a time,
50
160000
3376
「是的，奴役制度很久以前發生過，
02:55
but why does it really matter now?"
51
163400
2976
但現在為什麼還有重要性？」
02:58
As a result, we didn't really care.
52
166400
3000
結果就是，我們其實不會去在乎。
03:02
But what if our teacher introduced
a story from the present day,
a story from the present day,
53
170600
3696
但如果我們的老師能
介紹一個現今的故事呢？
介紹一個現今的故事呢？
03:06
for example, how Treniya
told us in Pittsburgh that --
told us in Pittsburgh that --
54
174320
4016
比如，崔奈雅告訴我們，
在匹茲堡——
在匹茲堡——
03:10
PV: "My sister was scrolling through
Facebook and typed in our last name.
Facebook and typed in our last name.
55
178360
3536
普：「我姐姐在滑手機看臉書，
輸入了我們的姓氏。
輸入了我們的姓氏。
03:13
This white guy popped up,
56
181920
1216
結果跳出了這個白人，
03:15
and we found out that his
great-great-grandfather owned slaves
great-great-grandfather owned slaves
57
183160
4776
我們發現，他的
曾曾曾祖父擁有奴隸，
曾曾曾祖父擁有奴隸，
03:19
and my great-great-
great-grandmother was one of them.
great-grandmother was one of them.
58
187960
3576
而我的曾曾曾祖母就是其中之一。
03:23
My last name -- it's not who I am.
59
191560
2616
我的姓氏——並不是我的。
03:26
We've been living
under a white man's name.
under a white man's name.
60
194200
2376
我們一直活在白人的名字之下。
03:28
If slavery didn't happen,
who would I even be?"
who would I even be?"
61
196600
2440
如果奴役沒有發生，我會是誰？」
03:32
WG: Now it feels relevant, immediate,
62
200400
2656
薇：這馬上就讓人感受到重要性了，
03:35
because the connection to slavery's
lasting legacy today is made clear, right?
lasting legacy today is made clear, right?
63
203080
5216
因為奴役所遺留至今的
影響就顯而易見，對吧？
影響就顯而易見，對吧？
03:40
Or what would happen is our teacher
would throw out these cold statistics.
would throw out these cold statistics.
64
208320
3496
或，可能會發生的狀況是，
老師會把冰冷的數據丟給我們。
老師會把冰冷的數據丟給我們。
03:43
You've probably seen this one before
in news headlines.
in news headlines.
65
211840
2976
你可能曾經在新聞頭條看過這個。
03:46
PV: African-Americans are incarcerated
66
214840
1856
普：被監禁的比例
03:48
more than five times
the rate of white people.
the rate of white people.
67
216720
2480
非裔美國人是白人的五倍。
03:51
WG: Now consider Ronnie, in Seattle.
68
219920
2520
薇：現在，來看看西雅圖的朗尼。
03:55
PV: "My father means everything to me.
69
223200
2296
普：「我爸爸是我的一切。
03:57
He's all I've got, I don't know my mother.
70
225520
2616
我也只有他了，我不認識我的媽媽。
04:00
My father's currently being
wrongly incarcerated for 12 years.
wrongly incarcerated for 12 years.
71
228160
4696
我爸爸被冤枉，目前
已經被監禁了 12 年。
已經被監禁了 12 年。
04:04
I've got a daughter, and I try to be
that same fatherly figure for her:
that same fatherly figure for her:
72
232880
4016
我有個女兒，我也為她
努力成為同樣的父親典範：
努力成為同樣的父親典範：
04:08
always involved in everything she does,
it might even be annoying at some points.
it might even be annoying at some points.
73
236920
4176
參與所有她做的事，
即使有些時候會很煩人。
即使有些時候會很煩人。
04:13
But I'm afraid I'll go missing in her life
74
241120
3096
但我害怕我會從她的人生中消失，
04:16
just like my father did in mine."
75
244240
1960
就像我爸爸從我人生中消失一樣。」
04:20
WG: Throwing out just the statistic,
just the facts alone,
just the facts alone,
76
248680
3376
薇：只丟出統計數字，只有事實，
04:24
disconnected from real humans,
77
252080
2136
沒有和真實的人類連結，
04:26
can lead to dangerously incomplete
understanding of those facts.
understanding of those facts.
78
254240
3815
結果可能很危險，會造成
對那些事實的了解不完全。
對那些事實的了解不完全。
04:30
It fails to recognize that for many people
who don't understand racism
who don't understand racism
79
258079
3537
這麼做就是沒能夠了解到，
對許多不懂種族主義的人來說，
對許多不懂種族主義的人來說，
04:33
the problem is not a lack of knowledge
80
261640
1856
問題並不是缺乏知識
04:35
to talk about the pain
of white supremacy and oppression,
of white supremacy and oppression,
81
263520
3736
來談論白人至上和
壓迫所造成的痛苦，
壓迫所造成的痛苦，
04:39
it's that they don't recognize
that that pain exists at all.
that that pain exists at all.
82
267280
3816
而是他們根本不知道那痛苦存在。
04:43
They don't recognize the human beings
that are being affected,
that are being affected,
83
271120
3496
他們無法看出會有人類受到影響，
04:46
and they don't feel enough to care.
84
274640
3176
且他們的低感受度也
不足以讓他們去在乎。
不足以讓他們去在乎。
04:49
PV: Second, the mind gap.
85
277840
2096
普：第二，腦的隔閡。
04:51
We can't ignore the stats, either.
86
279960
2416
我們也不能夠忽略統計。
04:54
We can't truly grasp Ronnie's situation
87
282400
2936
我們無法真正領會朗尼的狀況，
04:57
without understanding how things
like unjust laws and biased policing
like unjust laws and biased policing
88
285360
4576
如果我們不了解如不公平的
法律、偏見的政策制訂，
法律、偏見的政策制訂，
05:01
systematic racism has created
89
289960
2656
及有系統的種族主義是如何造成
05:04
the disproportionate
incarceration rates over time.
incarceration rates over time.
90
292640
3096
監禁比例隨時間變得
越來越不成比例。
越來越不成比例。
05:07
Or like how in Honolulu,
91
295760
1816
或是像在檀香山，
05:09
the large prison population
of native Hawaiians like Kimmy

深遠影響，

it's impact passing down
through generations to today.

95
306240

經過世世代代，它的
衝擊力一路傳到現今。
衝擊力一路傳到現今。
05:21
For us, sometimes we would talk
96
309720
1696
對我們來說，有時我們會
05:23
about people's personal,
unique experiences in the classroom.
unique experiences in the classroom.
97
311440
3856
在教室裡別人的個人獨特經驗。
05:27
Stuff like, how Justin once told us --
98
315320
2120
像是，賈斯汀有次告訴我們——
05:30
WG: "I've been working on psychologically
reclaiming my place in this city.
reclaiming my place in this city.
99
318400
4136
薇：「我一直努力，想在心理
層面上在這城市中取回我的位置。

05:34
Because for me, my Chicago

322560
4216
因為，對我來說，我的芝加哥
並不是有著漂亮建築物的鬧區，

05:38
it's not the North Side.
101
326800

並不是北區。
05:40
My Chicago is the orange line,
the pink line, the working immigrant class

我的芝加哥是橘線和粉紅線，

05:47
PV: And while we might have
acknowledged his personal experience,
acknowledged his personal experience,
104
335600
3496
普：雖然我們也許可以
了解他的個人經驗，
了解他的個人經驗，
05:51
we wouldn't have talked
about how redlining
about how redlining
105
339120
2056
但我們不會去談拒絕提供貸款
05:53
and the legalized segregation of our past
106
341200
2536
以及我們過去的合法種族隔離
05:55
created the racially divided
neighborhoods we live in today.
neighborhoods we live in today.
107
343760
3776
如何造成現今我們居住的
街坊中的種族分裂。
街坊中的種族分裂。
05:59
We wouldn't have completely understood
108
347560
1896
我們不會完全了解
06:01
how racism is embedded in the framework
of everything around us,
of everything around us,
109
349480
3936
種族主義如何深植在我們
周圍所有事物的架構當中，
周圍所有事物的架構當中，
06:05
because we would stay narrowly focused
on people's isolated experiences.
on people's isolated experiences.
110
353440
4896
因為我們的焦點很狹隘，
只放在人的個別經驗上。

I know what to do in order to have them

我知道該做什麼就能

讓他們感受到我在乎他們。
06:21
And making and sharing food
114

1576
做菜和分享食物
06:23
is one of the most fundamental
ways of showing love.
ways of showing love.
115
371560

是用來展現愛的最基本方式之一。
06:27
When I'm with my partner
who's not Korean, however,

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Priya Vulchi - Social entrepreneur, student activistPriya Vulchi is traveling to all US states with her friend Winona Guo, learning and listening to stories about race.
Why you should listen
For a collective future of racial justice, we must educate and empower our young generation now. Yet, the first time 18-year-olds Priya Vulchi and Winona Guo were required to talk about race in school was the 10th grade.
That same year, Vulchi co-founded CHOOSE with Guo to equip us all with the tools we lack to both talk about race and act toward systemic change. Their latest publication, a racial literacy textbook and toolkit for educators called The Classroom Index, has been recognized by Princeton University's Prize in Race Relations & Not in Our Town's Unity Award, featured in Teen Vogue, the Philadelphia Inquirer, & the Huffington Post, and called a “social innovation more necessary than the iPhone” by Professor Ruha Benjamin. Currently on a gap year before attending Princeton University, Vulchi and Guo have been traveling to all US states collecting hundreds of powerful stories about race, culture, and intersectionality for another book to be released in spring 2019.
