荒謬世界中國篇之膚色有層次

早一陣子發過一帖講香港種族歧視問題如何嚴重,最近這則也和香港多種族社群有關,不過歧視者則來自強國,下文摘自新浪:
中國足協近日推出一組宣傳海報,提醒球員勿輕視對手。不過當中字眼具有挑釁性,尤其對香港隊海報寫道:「這支球隊的人,有黑皮膚、有黃皮膚、有白皮膚,這麼有層次的球隊,得防着點!」,明顯嘲諷港隊球員華洋摻雜、中外混合,「層次」分明。在內地人習慣用語中,強調膚色種族或許正常,但在不少香港人眼中,這些用語十分刺眼,帶有種族歧視成份。
倪匡說過:無恥分兩種:無知無恥及明知無恥。這個該是前者吧。
相信香港人對肯為香港出力的人,不論甚麼膚色,都會一視同仁地支持!

可否不分膚色的界限
願這土地裡 不分你我高低
來自家駒送給南非曼德拉的作品,現在也適合送給強國人:

Home run stories

MLB Network is part of the cable package I paid for and I am glad that I have it 'coz between MLB Network, Fox, ESPN and Comcast Sportsnet, I can catch almost 1 or 2 games per day every day during the season! And MLB Network's nightly show "Quick Pitch" gives me all highlights I need (better than ESPN's "Baseball tonight") However, I seldom watch other shows like "Intentional Talk" except for today. And it mentioned 2 interesting stories:
  • Yan Gomes (Cleveland Indians) hit 2 HR yesterday and both of them were caught by the same fan! Now the fan is hoping he could get the balls autographed. Hope he gets it.
  • Former Oakland A's (and current Indians) Brandon Moss hit his 100th career HR the other day. His teammates have the ball and asked Moss to buy them Apple gears (iPads and Macbooks) to get the ball back. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, stepped in and pay the "ransom" for Moss. Nice gesture!
