墨尔本一美术教师在停车场对华人夫妇喊「滚回中国」:视频疯传后公开道歉

澳大利亚维多利亚州墨尔本市 Hawthorn 区一对华人夫妇11月11日中午在停车场遭一名女司机辱骂,对方多次喊「滚回中国」,过程被拍下并在网上疯传。涉事女子、儿童美术教师 Alice Krause 11月13日公开道歉,称自己的言行「残忍且贬损」,为此承担全部责任。
据澳大利亚第七频道报道,11月11日约12时30分,这对在澳大利亚生活近30年、已入籍的夫妇驾车行经一条四车道道路时,因并线与 Krause 发生争执。随后 Krause 尾随他们进入 Bunnings 家居连锁 Hawthorn 店的停车场,把车堵在他们车后不让其倒车入库,先敲打副驾驶一侧车窗,又走到驾驶座一侧,对司机喊「这个国家不是这样开车的」并多次辱骂、喊「滚回中国」。夫妇之子 Daniel Chen 把视频上传网络,浏览量达数十万,Krause 很快被网民认出。
Krause 本人也是一名移民。她13日对第七频道表示,自己不是种族主义者,但承认当天的言行「极具威胁性、且是种族主义的」。她另通过其工作室网站发表声明无保留道歉,写道:「说『滚回中国』是残忍和贬损的。我完全错了,为此真诚道歉,我承担全部责任。」Daniel Chen 说,家人已向警方报案,计划近日正式提交笔录。Hawthorn 所在的 Kooyong 选区联邦独立议员 Monique Ryan 已公开声援陈家。
这起事件发生之际,墨尔本华人社区正因11月6日中国籍外卖骑手冯建明在市中心遇害一案而普遍焦虑不安,社区人士称这段视频进一步加深了亚裔居民的不安。

Melbourne Art Teacher Apologises After Telling Chinese-Australian Couple to "Go Back to China" in Car Park Row
A Chinese-Australian couple in the Hawthorn suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, were subjected to a racist tirade in a car park on November 11, when another driver repeatedly shouted "go back to China" at them. The confrontation was filmed and spread widely online. The woman involved, children's art teacher Alice Krause, apologised publicly on November 13, calling her own words "cruel and degrading" and taking full responsibility.
According to 7NEWS Australia, the couple, who have lived in Australia for almost 30 years and are Australian citizens, were driving along a four-lane road at about 12:30 p.m. on November 11 when a merging dispute broke out with Krause. She then followed them into the car park of the Bunnings home-improvement store in Hawthorn, blocked their car as they tried to reverse into a space, banged on the passenger-side window, and then shouted at the driver, "that's not how you drive in this country," along with repeated abuse including "go back to China." The couple's son, Daniel Chen of Kew, posted the footage online, where it drew hundreds of thousands of views, and Krause was quickly identified.
Krause, herself an immigrant, told 7NEWS on November 13 that she is not a racist, while acknowledging that her words and actions were "extremely threatening and racist." In a separate statement on her business website, she apologised without reservation: "Saying 'go back to China' is cruel and degrading. I was completely wrong. I am truly sorry, and I take full responsibility." Daniel Chen said the family has reported the incident to police and plans to make a formal statement in the coming days. Monique Ryan, the federal independent MP for Kooyong, which covers Hawthorn, has publicly backed the family.
The incident comes as Melbourne's Chinese community is already anxious following the November 6 killing of Chinese food-delivery rider Feng Jianming in the city centre, and community members say the video has deepened unease among Asian-Australian residents.
