< When a white German disguises as a black For more than a year, journalist and filmmaker Gunter Wallraff travelled across Germany wearing a dark-haired curly wig and with his white skin painted black. Equipped with a secret camera, he went to predominantly white areas to see how a black man with a foreign accent is treated. 岗特·沃拉夫是一名德国的记者及制片人，为探讨种族主义在纳粹发源地的近况，化身德国007，携带秘密摄像机，乔装改扮成黑人模样，深度潜伏，以一年多的时间在德国各地亲身体验移民在德国的真实处境，并将此拍成了一部纪录片于近日在柏林上映。 "I hadn't known what we would discover, and had thought maybe the story will be, what a tolerant and accepting country we have become," said Mr Wallraff after a screening of the film Black on White in Berlin. "Unfortunately I was wrong." 谈及他一年的遭遇，岗特颇觉不堪回首：“俺原以为德国已进化成宽容友善的国家咧，现在才知道俺错的一塌糊涂啊！” He was almost beaten up by neo-Nazis after a football match in eastern Germany, and was told by a skinhead outside a small-town nightclub: "Europe for whites, Africa for apes." 他回忆起在东德看橄榄球比赛时，他差点被新纳粹党人暴揍[德国总理的出生、成长、“谋生”地啊，理解她对中国发自肺腑的痛恨了吧？]。在一小镇的夜总会门口，他被白人当面告知：“欧洲是给白人住的，非洲才是你这样的猿人住的。 But the film's most disturbing aspect is not the well-known racism of right-wing extremists, but rather the secretly-filmed reactions of everyday people: A landlady says she could not possibly rent out a flat to a black person; a shop owner refused to let "Kwami" try on an expensive watch, but willingly hands over the same watch to the next customer who is white. 问题是对黑人的恶意及歧视并非单单来自德国右翼集团，而是来自整个白人群体。白人女房东拒绝租房给他，因他的肤色太黑暗；白人店主拒绝给他看名表，却当着他的面将表递给白人顾客鉴赏。 Sven Mekarides, general secretary of the Africa Council in Berlin, said that for black people in certain parts of Germany such experiences are commonplace 位于柏林的非洲人总会会长斯先生证实黑人在德国的某些省份（包括柏林）受种族岐视和迫害是家常便饭。他说白人向他和他的黑人同学们吐唾沫、扔啤酒瓶。他和他的黑人女友曾在东德某地被七名手持匕首的白人围住，差点丧命，以致从此以后每次出游他都要至少三人行。 According to the Amadeu Antonio foundation there have been 138 racially-motivated murders in Germany since 1990. 据一份统计，自柏林墙倒塌以来，已有138人因种族暴力丧生[看来德国白人若没了互掐的机会，就要转而攻击外人，与世人和平相处实非他们之所爱啊！挑起两次世界大战，偶然乎？非也，文化使然。]。 Full text
