MINNEAPOLIS — There were two black men at the scene of the police killing in Minneapolis last month that roiled the nation. One, George Floyd, was sprawled on the asphalt, with a white officer’s knee on his neck. The other black man, Alex Kueng, was a rookie police officer who held his back as Mr. Floyd struggled to breathe.

The arrest of Mr. Kueng, whose mother is white and whose father was from Nigeria, has brought anguish to his friends and family.

日本人からすると、この写真みて、これで黒人さんなんかい？と思うわなあ。

肌の色で選べというなら、黒では全然なく、白のほうだろうーーーここらへんがアメリカの”人種”意識のでたらめというか、複雑というか、地域限定的なところ。

“How do you as an individual think that you’re going to be able to change that system, especially when you’re going in at a low level?” said Michelle Gross, president of Communities United Against Police Brutality in Minneapolis. “You’re not going to feel OK to say, ‘Stop, senior officer.’ The culture is such, that that kind of intervening would be greatly discouraged.”

先輩に逆らえない文化があったわけだね。

Kueng 氏と近親者、幼馴染のかたにとってもとてもつらい事件になってしまった。
