Recently, a video called “Fight on SF Muni Bus in Chinatown” was uploaded on YouTube. Many people were interesting in this video and it has already reached 500,000 hits with a lot of comments and video responses in one week. The fight was basically about a Chinese woman who asked an African American woman for a seats and the Africa American woman refused her in a nasty way. Some viewers watched this as entertainment and cannot stop making fun of the Chinese woman’s accent, and some viewers felt angry after watching the video because the African American woman discriminated against the Asian and violent. Also, there are some admirations about how bravo the Chinese woman is. This is my first time to watch a fight like this. I cannot image that such fight would happen on the SF Muni.
One of the viewers criticized the African American because she is the one who started the fight and the Chinese woman was only want to defend. I totally disagree with that. The African American woman is not the only one who should be criticized. The Chinese woman and other passengers who were on the bus also need to be criticized. Even thought the Chinese woman asked for a seat in polite way at the beginning and she is not the one who started the fight, she hit and said those f**king words to the African American woman. If both of them can claim down and try to be nice at the beginning, the fight won’t happen. If the passengers can stop them from arguing at the beginning, they won’t start to fight on the bus. It really brings a negative effect to the society. Some people will think that violence is one of the ways to solve problem, but that is totally wrong. Violence cannot solve problem, but to make thing become worse. This incident lets me know that we should always use a peaceful way to deal with problem and create a harmonious place for our own. If everyone can show peace and love to others, the tragedy won’t happen. Everything will change because of your one small step.

I watched that clip too. It is so amazing to have 500000 hits within 1 week. Just like you,I am so surprised that that fight did happen in SF muni.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you. I really think that we should not just blame the African American women, but not the Chinese woman. Even though the Chinese woman was only self-defensing, she still needed to take the responsibility. Other than them, the people arround them should stop them at the beginning of the fight. To me, it is just so sad on how people just support and encourage people to fight more.
And yes, we really need to show our love to the people surround us, and try to be peaceful.
After watching that video I was surprised that something like that happened on the MUNI. I agree with you that it wasn't just the African American woman's fault and that the people on the bus should have tried to stop the fight sooner than later. I think that those people are just too lazy to take up a stand and solve the issue when its easier to just sit back and watch the show. I hope that there will be a time where people would not resolve to violence as a way to solve problems.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the video on you tube, but I saw a clip from it on the news. I agree with you that if both women would have acted their age and been more mature about the situation that violence would never have been the solution to their dispute. I hope that one day society does change and that a situation like this will never occur. There is no justification for these two grown adult women behaving the way they did.
