Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines a new element in the cultural politics of multicultural Hong Kong, namely the emergence of racism towards ethnic and other minorities in on-line discussion forums. To gauge the extent of this problem, we examined 2,918 on-line reader commentaries about the 249 news articles on ethnic minorities published by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) between 2012–2018. A discourse analysis found that racist and racialized discourses pervade these commentaries. While our data are from Hong Kong, our study has international implications. The publication of racist commentaries on news articles legitimizes and institutionalizes a culture of racism that, we propose, acts as a potent form of racist public pedagogy. Nevertheless, shedding light on this problem opens up new possibilities for multicultural interventions in policy and education in Hong Kong and beyond.
多元文化主义与香港种族主义的文化政治
本文探讨多元文化的香港文化政治中的一个新元素,即网络论坛中出现的针对少数族裔和其他少数群体的种族主义。为了衡量这一问题的严重程度,我们调查了2012年至2018年期间《南华早报》发表的249篇少数民族新闻文章的2918条在线读者评论。话语分析发现,这些评论中充斥着种族主义和种族化的话语。虽然我们的数据来自香港,但我们的研究具有国际意义。对新闻文章发表种族主义评论使种族主义文化合法化和制度化,我们认为,种族主义文化是一种强有力的种族主义公共教育形式。然而,研究这个问题,为香港及其他地区在政策和教育方面的多元文化干预提供了新的可能性。
