家园 March 17 Saint Patrick Day

Please celebrate Saint Patrick Day. March 17 is Saint Patrick day. Saint Patrick is Irish patron Saint and Saint Patrick day is Ireland’s National Day. Please wearing in green, eat green, joint the Saint Patrick parade, have a feast or drink a lot of bear, just for celebrating Saint Patrick Day.

Last Saturday, in downtown Shanghai, people got together to have a magnificent Saint Patrick Parade. Yes, you don’t need to be Catholic to celebrate Saint Patrick day, neither you need to be Irish. It’s not the first time Shanghai had Saint Patrick Parade. As far as my Internet search can find, Shanghai has been celebrating Saint Patrick day since as early as 2007.

I joint the Saint Patrick Parade once at New York and I appreciated Celtic Culture. The Irish culture is part of human culture. When Irish immigrants settled on other countries, they keep their culture and celebrate it on Saint Patrick Parade. I especially like their tap dance. I hope we Chinese immigrants can learn from Irish immigrants in this aspect. We don’t need to hate Chinese culture in order to enter West Culture. In fact, we can, just like Irish, be proud of our culture and bring fresh air into local culture in our citizen country. Different cultures should respect each other and should live together. You can feel the humanity spirit in Saint Patrick Parade. Irish people are proud of their own culture. Their cheer their heritage without the need to hate other cultures. They welcome you to share the joy with them regardless your culture background. Feel good about our own culture, and feel good about other cultures. That’s the humanity spirit. Like Irish immigrants, we don't need to hate China in order to be other countries' citizen. Like Irish immigrants, We can love our citizen country and China at the same time.

Saint Patrick Day is a Catholic religion day, but don’t be afraid. Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, Buddhism, Confucian, or simply atheist, just joint the parade and celebrate Saint Patrick Day. Irish has not intention to convert you into Catholic by Saint Patrick parade. That’s the humanity spirit of Saint Patrick parade. Irish celebrate their Christian heritage of their culture while respect others' faiths and believes. Freedom of believe can only exist when no one regards believers of other faiths are inferior or evil. Irish celebrate their culture of Catholic background, and welcome people of other believes to celebrate with them. I wish our Chinese immigrants can enter local society while keeping our own Buddhism, Confucian or atheism believes, share our joy with love and dignity like Irish in Saint Patrick Parade.

A Chinese girl I known married an Irish husband. They are a happy couple. Religion, ethnic race and culture are barriers can be overcome by love. Religion, Race and culture should not be barriers separate human into different countries that hate each other. People can live together while keeping their own culture heritage.

Please celebrate Saint Patrick day with every one in your company or your community. You don’t need to be a Catholic or an Irish to celebrate Saint Patrick Day. Saint Patrick day belongs to Irish culture, and belongs also to human culture. Let us joint Irish to celebrate Saint Patrick Day just like we welcome others to joint us in celebrate Chinese Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Please celebrate Saint Patrick day. It’s part of human culture. I hope in the future the world has only one country called the Earth and only one nation called Human Being.

家园 谢谢。
家园 让我想起思炎关于"早期美国是如何歧视华人的图片"

http://www.ccthere.com/thread/2686311/2#C2689015

华人的马丁·路德·金

恶棍丹尼斯坚尼的名字,是和排华运动连在一起的。坚尼出生在爱尔兰,早年来美国做发财梦。1876年股市崩盘,他破产了,于是便转向政治投机,组织了 “加州工人党”,将经济衰退、失业率高涨归咎于“廉价的华人劳工”,呼吁“以合法的途径”将华人排斥于美国之外。他靠下流语言煽动排华,第一个在公开集会上喊出“华人滚出去”口号,并且每次演讲结束时必声嘶力竭地重复叫喊这一口号。在加州,小混混坚尼的行径获得了越来越大的影响,并把反华浪潮从加州推向了全美。

王清福应是很早就注意到他了。7月,坚尼来到王清福常住的纽约市访问。被美国媒体描写为“很有风度、中等身材的漂亮男子”王清福,出于对1882年排华法案和坚尼本人排华恶行的强烈义愤,派人向他提出决斗的挑战。

《纽约时报》记者风闻讯息,找到王清福的办公处所做采访,言谈间问他将用什么武器和坚尼决斗。身高不过1.7米的王清福坐在椅子上回答:“由他选择吧:筷子、爱尔兰土豆或克虏伯(德国著名兵工厂)手枪。”但那个政治流氓却没有勇气接过王清福抛出的“白手套”。

家园 中国人没必要趟这个浑水。戴绿帽子可不干。
家园 原文不是你写的吧?

原文作者看起来像是善良而心智未开的ABC teenager。

口口声声中国移民不必恨自己的文化。中国移民纵有出卖自己文化,对白人依附投靠的,那也是被恶劣的对华敌视态度逼的(注:被逼汉奸也是汉奸,此处暂不讨论)。中国人要是能受到对爱尔兰人或者德意志人,哪怕意大利移民同等的认同,也不会有那么多意志懦弱的中国人恨不能把自己漂漂白了,也不会有所谓“通过恨中国文化而融入主流”一说了。作者应该少写有反省性质的文字。

口口声声“一起欢乐吧,不分种族信仰”。好啊,不如一起把斋,一起做拜功。不要因为这个天主教纪念日的乐子多一点儿,就有了向其他人推介的借口。改变不了宗教的内涵。赶明儿把七月一也包装包装,让大伙热热闹闹的。然后谴责不来同乐的白人太自闭。

家园 哪还缺几个装拨衣的
家园 不要忘记历史,要防止历史重演

仇恨能防止历史重演你就继续仇恨。

相互尊重文化能防止历史重演我就鼓吹相互尊重友好。

家园 "继续仇恨"这么大的帽子我戴不起。

十分同意您的 "不要忘记历史,要防止历史重演"的看法。

很多人并不知道思炎介绍的这段历史(以我小人之心度之),要知道历史才好。在美国也有过对爱尔兰人的歧视,只不过这点广为人知。

愿与你一同鼓吹相互尊重文化与友好。感觉现在更紧迫的是对我们自己文化的重视与传递。

家园 爱尔兰人在上海已经连续四年游行庆祝了。

相互尊重有个开端。中国人尊重爱尔兰人,不排斥他们的文化,是一个友好开端。中国人在海外喜欢开春节晚会,用的是国语,这相对封闭,只有少数对汉语有兴趣的人才能参加。

海外华人移民也应该改春节中秋晚会为游行庆祝,让各族裔一同参加。而且,游行庆祝一般都能够得到市政支持,以为游行使得商业区更加繁荣。

晚会和游行庆祝不同在于前者封闭,后者开放。开放有利于融合感情,张显文化。实际上,中国的舞狮子和扭秧歌游行很有特色,吹唢呐比管风琴喜庆多了。

家园 恕我孤陋寡闻了, 游行庆祝是个高招。
家园 海纳百川,有容乃大
家园 我是赞成的。

主帖就鼓动大家参加爱尔兰人国庆游行。

家园 嘿嘿,还可以资助北爱尔兰,苏格兰,夏威夷土著搞游行

到时候,谁跟我们烦老和尚和热BY,

俺们就在序列里抽一个对应的,

大敲大锣去游行!

——俺在这瞎扯歪楼,“唵啊吽”兄别生气,俺是知道您的意思的。

俺觉得一些在硬件上已经有条件吸引海外高级人才工作和定居的中国城市

其实在软件上也不妨提升一下,

如果中国能做到引天下才为我所用,

撅起则更加快了!

经历5000年传承至今的中国文化有绝对的自信心,

作为中国人,也应该有。

家园 美国华人多的地方

春节都游行的
