【编者按】英国《晨星报》刊文，表示特朗普因“中国病毒”言论被美国华裔民权联盟
起诉，该联盟表示这一言论具有种族歧视倾向，给亚裔美国人带来了恶劣的影响。
美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普因使用诸如“中国病毒”之类的词语来形容新冠病毒而
被一个华裔民权组织起诉。
美国华裔民权联盟（CACRC）提起诉讼要求赔偿近2300万美元。
该联盟称诽谤和贬损性描述对华裔美国人造成了情绪困扰，并导致了仇恨犯罪的增
加。
美国各主要城市的警方的统计数据显示，新冠病毒爆发后，2020年反亚裔仇恨犯罪
的报告增加了近150%。
特朗普为他用来描述新冠病毒的措辞进行了辩护，特朗普坚称病毒“来自中国”，
因此他“根本不是种族主义者”。
但是世卫组织（WHO）要求人们不要对疾病附加地点或种族，称这可能会加剧人们
的污名化态度。
美国华裔民权联盟要求特朗普为每个居住在美国的亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民支付1
美元。
这笔钱将用于建立一个博物馆，展示亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民对美国的贡献。
英文原文
Trump to be suedover ‘China virus’ remarks
FORMER US president Donald Trump is beingsued for millions by a Chinese-
American civil rights group over the use ofterms such as “China virus” to
describe Covid-19.
A lawsuit filed by the Chinese AmericanCivil Rights Coalition (CACRC) is
claiming for nearly $23 million (£16m).
It alleges defamation and the infliction ofemotional distress over the
derogatory descriptions, which the coalition saysled to a rise in hate crime.
Police statistics across major US citiesshowed a nearly 150 per cent
rise in reports of anti-Asian hate crimes in 2020following the outbreak of
coronavirus.
Mr Trump defended the language he used todescribe Covid-19, insisting
that the virus “comes from China” and that he was therefore “not racist
at all.”
But the World Heath Organisation (WHO)asked people not to attach
locations or ethnicity to the disease, saying thiscould fuel stigmatising
attitudes.
The CACRC is claiming $1 (70p) for everyAsian-American and Pacific
Islander living in the US.
The money would be used to establish a museumshowcasing Asian-American
and Pacific Islander contributions to the country.
