Zakaria是一个非常有魅力的小男孩,他八岁,圆形的脸,眼镜和身材。他的口音很漂亮, 眼睛是是内眦赘皮的。比如,他总是将“shesh”(波斯语中的数字六)发音成为“shash”。 Zakaria出生在阿富汗,我们国家的东部邻国。由于阿富汗内战,他的父母在 1980 年代移 居伊朗。由于这场战争,超过一百万的阿富汗难民逃到伊朗了。
Zakaria的父母是非常友好的人,他们在隔壁的大楼里做清洁工。Zakaria的爸爸希望未来 儿子会成为科学家,像中世纪的扎卡里亚拉齐。Zakaria以他的名字命名。
我六岁的时候常常会跟他一起玩。有时,其他邻居的孩子会跟我们一起玩,但是这可从 会有好结果。其他孩子经常欺负他。一开始我为他辩护,但是其他孩子开始嘲笑我为“外 国人”辩护。我最终也开始和大家一起欺负他。
记得有一次他被孩子们欺负时,用手捂着脸开始哭了。看到这样的事情发生震撼到我的 骨子里。当我告诉了父母时,他们责骂了我,说我没有为他辩护。我的父母告诉我, Zakaria 的家人在 战中遭受了很多苦难,我们不得不像对待客人一样对待他。我一听 到这个感觉十分懊悔和羞愧。但不久之后Zakaria离开了,搬到了别的地方。在那之后, 我再也没有看到他了。但要是能再见到那他我愿意做任何事。现在我问自己,如果我的 父母没有好好的开导我,我长大后会成为种族主义者吗?

A story by Hal Fulcher
最近，性取向并非固定，而是在一定范围内浮动的观点获得了很多人的认可。在2020年，双性恋男人依然要为自己的存在辩护，这让我觉得很奇怪。 Read more...

Get involved
At Correspondents of the World, we want to contribute to a better understanding of one another in a world that seems to get smaller by the day - but somehow neglects to bring people closer together as well. We think that one of the most frequent reasons for misunderstanding and unnecessarily heated debates is that we don't really understand how each of us is affected differently by global issues.
Our aim is to change that with every personal story we share.
