I-Kona Nui Nights sisiganeko simahla senyanga esihlonipha kwaye sigxininise ulwimi lwaseHawaii, umculo kunye nobugcisa behula. Ukubanjwa phantsi kwentente enkulu ngasemva kwesakhiwo se-IBM, ilali yewadi ibonisa elinye lamava amahle kwinkcubeko e-Oahu. Ubusuku obukhethekileyo bukaDisemba babonisa uKupaoa (uKellen noLihau Paik) kunye noMark Yamanaka. Olu lonwabo lweKona Nui Nights yayiyimbhiyozo enobubele yosapho kunye nemisebenzi yeholide kunye nokuphatha ubusuku bonke. Iindwendwe kuye kwafuneka ziye kwi-RSVP kwangaphambi kwexesha, kwaye umsitho ubhukishwe ngokupheleleyo ngokomthamo. Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iindwendwe ezikhubazekileyo ezinamatikiti bafumanise ukuba baphangiwe esi sipho seKrisimesi ngenxa kaGrinch ogqibe kwelokuba avimbe indawo yokukhubazeka kunye nommango ngeLexus yakhe. Endaweni yokuvumela indlela engama-intshi angama-50 ukuba isitulo esinamavili sidlule, kufanele ukuba wayecinga ukuba abantu abakhubazekileyo bafuna i-intshi ezimbalwa ukulungiselela izihlalo zabo ezinamavili nabahamba-hamba kwisithuba esiphakathi kwemoto yakhe nodonga lwesamente. (Jonga umfanekiso) Umntu okhubazekileyo wokwenene ngewayesazi ngcono.
Umqhubi we-Lexus uthathe isigqibo sokufaka yonke indawo ebekelwe indawo, eyenzelwe iveni ukuba ivule iingcango zayo kwaye yonyuse isitulo esinamavili. Ngokwenza njalo, uvimbele ukufikelela kwitekiti yokunyusa iveni, isitulo esinamavili, kunye nendawo yokuhamba isitulo esinamavili. Ngamanye amagama, wayimisa iLexus yakhe kwisithuba esingacwangciswanga ukupaka imoto konke konke. Oku kuthintele iindwendwe ezikhubazekileyo ekubeni zikwazi ukungena kwisakhiwo se-IBM kwiWadi Village. Umqhubi, umfana oselula, kunye nentombazana athandana nayo encinci beza emotweni ngaphezulu kwesihlandlo esinye ngorhatya bezosusa izinto kwisitulo esingasemva emotweni. Isitulo sangasemva sasinezinto ezazithe saa kuso; akhonto ibityhalelwe ecaleni ibonakalisa ukuba umntu okhubazekileyo ebehleli apho. Umntu "okhubazekileyo" okhubazekileyo, owayegcinelwe indawo yokukhubazeka, wayengekho ndawo ukuba abonwe - oko kukuthi, i-AWOL.
ILexus ibonakalise imvume yeSebe lezoKhuselo, i-B6F 8S2 ngokubalaseleyo kwideshi. Ukuxhonywa kwisibuko kwakuyiposti yokukhubazeka ephela ngoJulayi 2020, isitampu P-074-338. Ngokomntu, andizange ndimbone umntu ohamba ngesitulo esinamavili ekulweni, kodwa ndiyaphambuka. Umfana kunye nentombazana awayethandana nayo babenomzimba ocacileyo kwaye babengenaso isidingo sendawo yamavili nangayiphi na indlela yokucinga. Umntu okhubazekileyo wokwenene ngekhe akwazi ukuphuma kwiLexus njengoko ikho kuba bekungekho gumbi macala omabini lemoto lokudlulisela kwisitulo esinamavili. Umqhubi ozingcayo uvele wenza eyakhe indawo yokupaka, ethintela abantu abaliqela ukuba bakwazi ukusebenzisa indlela yabakhubazekileyo kunye nendlela. Umqhubi weLexus uswele isidima sokupaka kwigaraji yasimahla kwiziko leWadi. Wayefuna indawo yeLexus yakhe kunokuba avumele umntu okhubazekileyo ukuba asebenzise isithuba okanye asebenzise irempe. Inye kuphela indlela yokungena yokukhubazeka kwisakhiwo se-IBM, kodwa iLexus Grinch yayinentliziyo ebandayo kakhulu ukuba ingakhathalelwa.
Andinayo iLexus. Ndinesifo sokuwohloka kwemisipha. Ndisebenzisa isitulo esinamavili sombane kwaye kufuneka ndithuthwe ngeveni enelifti. Ndijonge ukuba yeyiphi iprofayili yomqhubi oqhelekileyo weLexus. I-National Network Hit yabuza abafundi babo ukuba bathini umbono wabo kubaqhubi beLexus. Ummangalelwa omnye utyikitye uJulia, ubhale wathi: “Ndizokunyaniseka ngokumasikizi… ngokusekwe kuninzi lweminyaka yokuqwalaselwa… Bona (abaqhubi beLexus) badla ngokuba ngamanqe - iimpumlo emoyeni, ngokungathi ngandlela ithile“ bangaphezulu ”kwabanye abaqhubi, zihlala zinoburhalarhume- ziyayityeshela imithetho yendlela kwaye ngakumbi imigaqo yokupaka, okuthetha ukuba bacinga ukuba akukho nto yokufaka izithuba ezibini ukuze iimoto zabo ezixabisekileyo zingaphazanyiswa. Ndifumanisa ukuba oku kwenzeka ikakhulu ngabanini beLexus. … Ngokurekhoda, uMama wam, umyeni wam, kunye nabahlobo bam abaliqela bakubonile oku. ”
Ndothuswe kukubona lemoto inxulumene neFort Shafter. Utata wam ondizalayo wayeseMkhosini, umkhuluwa wam wayekwiMikhosi yaseLwandle, umninawa wam wayeseMkhosini, uTatomkhulu wakhonza kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi I, yena umalume wam omkhulu wakhonza kwiMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi ePearl Harbour. Ndiyazi kakuhle usapho lwam, ngekhe, kwisigidi seminyaka, ngokuzingca bathathe indawo yomntu okhubazekileyo ngobuqhetseba, okanye bavimbe indawo yokukhubazeka kunye nendlela, ukuthintela abantu ukuba bangene kumsitho weKrisimesi.
Oko ndabona aba bantu babini bangena emotweni, kwaye ndabona indlela isihlalo sabo sangasemva esijongeka ngayo ngokungathi bekungekho mntu ukhubazekileyo, nokuba umntu okhubazekileyo wayenokuphuma njani emotweni, njengoko iLexus yayitshatelwe kwindawo yenzelwe ubeko olunje, ndibize amapolisa ukuba imoto itikiti. Amapolisa aseHonolulu awazanga. Ke emva kwemizuzu engama-20, ndaphinda ndatsalela amapolisa ndaza ndavakalisa ukungaphumeleli kwabo. Ke umthumeli uthe uthumela igosa kwangoko.
Xa iGosa uChin, inombolo yebheji engu-2991 ibonakalisile, bendinokuyixelela kwimizuzwana emihlanu yokuqala ukuba wayengenamdla wokukhonza okanye ukukhusela iimfuno zabakhubazekileyo. Ndibonise iGosa likaChin indlela iLexus ekuvimba ngayo ukufikelela kubakhubazekile nakwindlela engalunganga. Ndamxelela ukuba aba bantu babini bancinci babengaphakathi kwendawo yasebusuku yaseKona Nui kwaye banika inkcazo, kodwa wala ukungena ngaphakathi ukuze abacele ukuba baphume kuloo ndawo igciniweyo. Emva koko umqhubi we "Lex Shafter" Lexus ubuyele emotweni yakhe ngelinye ixesha, ukufumana izinto ezingaphezulu. Igosa uChin wabuza lo mfana waseAsia, "Yimoto yakho le?" Kwaye umqhubi wathi "Ewe." Igosa labuza, "Ngaba le yimvume yakho yokukhubazeka?" Umqhubi wathi, “Yeka-antie, kodwa akasekho apha, wemka nomnye umntu.” "Makazi" ligama lendawo elithetha "ixhegokazi," hayi umakazi wakho wokwenene, okanye unyoko okanye umakhulu. Isemantics ayikhethileyo yolwimi yathetha ukuba imvume yeyomntu ongesosizalwane sakhe, ngenxa yoko imeko ekrokrisayo kakhulu.
Ngoku, ndiyazi ngokubukela iingxelo zophando kumabonakude, apho abarhwebi babanjwa ngokungekho semthethweni besebenzisa amaphepha okukhubazeka, isizathu sokuqala abasenza ubuqhophololo sisoloko sisithi "Yeyokuthi nanjeya, kodwa umkile nje." Ukwamkelwa kukaMnu. Lexus yayisisizathu sokukhupha iphepha kunye nemoto erhuqwayo kuba yayingasayimiswanga ngenjongo yokunceda umntu okhubazekileyo, kodwa endaweni yokuncanyelwa ngumlingane waseFort Shafter. Umqhubi uvumile kwigosa u "anti" u-anti wayengekho ndawo. UChin uxelele umqhubi weLexus, "Kulungile," kwaye mvumele umqhubi abuyele kwiqela lakhe. Khange abuze neGrinch ukuba ifudukele kwindawo yokupaka abantu abomeleleyo. Ndijonge uChin ndaza ndamxelela ukuba akukho nto "Umnike ukupasa simahla kuba ungowaseAsia!"
UChin akazange asiphikise isityholo sam sokucalucalula ubuhlanga, kodwa wabeka nomsindo. Ungamelana njani lo mkhenkethi omhlophe ohleli kwisitulo esinamavili etyhola igosa lezomthetho ngokubonisa ukukhetha ubuhlanga kumntu owomeleleyo waseAsia omiswe kwindawo yabakhubazekileyo!
“Khange umcele isazisi ukungqina ukuba imvume yokukhubazeka yeyakhe. Isenokuba yimvume kamakhulu wakhe owasweleka kudala, ”ndixelele uChin.
“Heyi, unemvume kwaye upake kwindawo enabantu abakhubazekileyo”, yayimpendulo kaChin. "Andinayo indlela yokujonga ukuba yeyikabani na imvume okanye ibiyipemithi kagogo wakhe ongasekhoyo."
“Oku kucacile akukho mthethweni. Uhlawulelwa ukukhonza nokukhusela iimfuno zabakhubazekileyo, Ndixelele uChin, "kwaye awenzi nto kwaphela. Umyeke ahambe. ”
"Ungandixelela isicatshulwa somthetho awaphuleyo?" U-Chin wabuza.
Ndifuna bonke abantu abazizigidi abafunda olu papasho bazi ukuba xa uthatha isigqibo sokuzisa imali oyisebenzele nzima eHawaii ngenxa yeholide, zilungiselele ukukhankanya owona mthetho ubalulekileyo malunga nolwaphulo, ukuba ufuna uncedo lwamapolisa. Igosa uChin lithe ngaphandle kokuba ndimxelele owona mthetho uqinisekileyo, ngekhe akhuphe nesimangalo-mgaqo-nkqubo olizothe.
Le yimithetho iGosa uChin yathatha isifungo sokuyixhasa. Le yimithetho iGosa likaChin elihlawulwa ukuze linyanzelise. Xa umntu engawazi umthetho, ndicinga ukuba amagosa asebupoliseni enza isigqibo ngokusekelwe kuloluphi uhlanga abalukhethayo.
Ngaba kunokwenzeka eso siganeko sothusayo? Ngokwentlangano eqhubeka nokujonga amaqela entiyo, impendulo nguewe. Kwinqaku elinomxholo othi "Ukubandezeleka kweHawaii ngenxa yoKhethe lobuhlanga" iZiko Lomthetho Wentlupheko eseMazantsi laxela ukuba "Sele kuyiminyaka, abantu baseHawaii beyiphepha intetho yobuhlanga nentiyo ... Urhulumente oxhomekeke kubakhenkethi akawamkeli umthetho wolwaphulo-mthetho." Umbutho ohlonitshwayo ubalise ibali lendlela amapolisa angeyonxalenye yesisombululo; bayinxalenye yengxaki:
Ugqirha Cecilia Pardon waya eholideyini yaseHawaii kunyaka ophelileyo, ehexwa lithemba leelwandle ezintle nabantu abanobuhlobo. Yena, umyeni wakhe kunye neentombi zakhe ezikwishumi elivisayo bayonwabele iilwandle ezinesanti zezi ziqithi. Kodwa enye intombazana yaseHawaii yahlasela iintombi zayo ezimbini, yathi, "Buyela kwilizwekazi" kwaye "Susa iesile lakho elimhlophe elunxwemeni lwethu," utshilo uGqirha Padron, ugqirha wamazinyo wabantwana eNew Jersey. Xa umyeni wakhe, i-68 ngelo xesha, wayengena phakathi kwamantombazana, amadoda amathathu aselula aseHawaii ambetha kwisithuthi, asika indlebe, amkrwitsha, ngamanqindi, utshilo uGqirha Padron. Amapolisa acenga abakwaPadron ukuba bangafaki tyala, besithi kuyabiza ukubuyela kwinkundla kwaye ijaji yaseHawaii izakuxhasa abahlaseli baseHawaii, ugqirha uyaphikisana.
Amapolisa ayabandakanyeka ekuxhaseni ubuhlanga ngokwenza iinzame ezingaphaya zokuthintela abakhenkethi abamhlophe ekufumaneni ubulungisa xa umenzi wobubi engengomlungu. Isebe lamapolisa laseHonolulu libizwe ngokuba “lihlazo lesizwe.” Imizekelo ephindiweyo yokuziphatha ngokungangqinelaniyo nemigaqo yeNtlonipho nobulungisa echazwe kwiNgxelo ye-HPD Mission iye yaqatshelwa. Nangona kunjalo, izinto zizokutshintsha apha e-Honolulu, sixelelwe.
Kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, bekukho inyikima kwisebe. Baqesha “haole” (omhlophe) obhinqileyo, uSusan Ballard njengeNtloko yamaPolisa entsha. Akafani nantoni na eyakhe yaziwa sisixeko. UStephen Watary, owayethathe umhlala-phantsi kwi-HPD ngo-2007, uxelele umabonwakude we-KHON, “Xa ndandisebenza naye, wayehlala esaziwa ngokunyaniseka kwakhe, indlela ethe ngqo, kunye nokungazingci.” Ukuzingca nokunganyaniseki yinto ecekisekayo kwiNtloko uSusan Ballard; uyabenyanya uburheletyo obunjalo. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ebekwindawo apho umqhubi we Lexus ozingcayo avale i-aisle kunye ne-ramp, wayitsala imoto yakhe kwindawo evulekileyo yabantu abakhubazekileyo ukuba basebenzise izihlalo zabo ezinamavili, kwaye weva nomqhubi evuma ukuba akukho mntu ukhubazekileyo kwindawo ngelixa imoto yakhe yayifaka indawo yokukhubazeka, ngewayemnyanzele ukuba ahambise iesile lakhe likaGrinch. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ngekucelumngeni ukusebenzisa kwakhe indawo ebekelwe abantu abakhubazekileyo.
Ngelixa iGosa uChin lithe alinandlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba i-Lexus ene-Fort Shafter-tag-tag yayisebenzisa ngokusemthethweni imvume yokukhubazeka kwi-Wadi Centre, ndiyakholelwa ukuba u-Chief Susan Ballard ngewayewulandele umthetho kwaye waxelela uMnu Lexus ukuba avelise ikhadi lesazisi elinikwe ukukhubazeka abantu xa befumana ithegi yokuxhoma, njengoko ikhowudiweyo kwi-§11-219-10 yeMithetho yoLawulo yaseHawaii, iTayitile 11, Isahluko 219 [Eff 12/31/84; ndim kunye ne-4/18/94; rem ukusuka kwi-§19-150-10, am kunye comp 12/15/00; ndim kunye ne-12/24/01; comp 1/23/03; ndim kwaye ndenza u-7/26/04; comp 8/19/06; ndim kunye ne-7/2/12; comp 9/25/15] (Auth HRS §291-56) (Imp: HRS §291-54; 23 CFR icandelo 1235).
Umnumzana uLexus ubanga ukuba, “u-antie” ebekhe emotweni ngaphambili kodwa wemka nomnye umntu, yiyo loo nto kungekho “anti” owayekhona kula ndawo. Into yokuba “u-antie” ongabonakaliyo akazange ayithathe imvume yakhe yokukhubazeka xa wayehamba-hamba nomnye umntu yayinokumenza nabani na onengqiqo eqhelekileyo alithandabuze ibali lakhe. UChin wayesazi ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni; akasosidenge. Olu luphawu, hayi ukuqonda.
Ngelixa iGosa uChin lathi uMnu. Lexus wathi "u-antie" ongabonakaliyo wayekhe wakhwela kwisithuthi kodwa wayengasekho kuloo ndawo kwaye ke uMnu.Lexus wayepakwe ngokusemthethweni, ndiyakholelwa ukuba u-Chief Susan Ballard ngewayewulandele umthetho waxelela uMnu Lexus. “Akukho kwamakazi naphina apha; indawo yokupaka iluncedo kuye, hayi inzuzo yakho, ke susa imoto kwindawo yokukhubazeka ngaphandle kokuba ungangqina ukuba uhambisa u-anti ongabonakaliyo ”njengoko kuqinisekisiwe ku-§11-219-11 weMithetho yoLawulo yaseHawaii, iTayitile 11, Isahluko 219 [umzamo 12/31/84; ndim kunye ne-4/18/94; rem ukusuka kwi-§19-150-10, am kunye comp 12/15/00; ndim kunye ne-12/24/01; comp 1/23/03; ndim kwaye ndenza u-7/26/04; comp 8/19/06; ndim kunye ne-7/2/12; comp 9/25/15] (Auth HRS §291-56) (Imp: HRS §291-54; 23 CFR icandelo 1235).
Ngelixa iGosa uChin lithe alibonanga nto iphosakeleyo ngoMnumzana uLexus ekuthinteleni i-ramp yokukhubazeka kwaye engumntu ozingcayo ngokupheleleyo, ndiyakholelwa ukuba u-Chief Susan Ballard ngewayewulandele umthetho kwaye uxelele umqhubi ukuba akhuphe iesile lakhe i-aisleis, njengoko ikhowudiweyo kwi-§11-219-14 yeMithetho yoLawulo yaseHawaii, iTayitile 11, Isahluko 219 [Eff 12/31/84; ndim kunye ne-4/18/94; rem ukusuka kwi-§19-150-10, am kunye comp 12/15/00; ndim kunye ne-12/24/01; comp 1/23/03; ndim kwaye ndenza u-7/26/04; comp 8/19/06; ndim kunye ne-7/2/12; comp 9/25/15] (Auth HRS §291-56) (Imp: HRS §291-54; 23 CFR icandelo 1235).
Igosa uChin landixelela ukuba lifuna ukuba ndikhankanye umthetho ngqo ngaphambi kokuba itikiti lemoto yomqhubi waseAsia kuba inyanzelisa ukuba akukho mthetho umnika igunya lokwenza.
Nokuba ebesazi ngokwenyani ukuba akukho mthetho uthintela indoda eyomeleleyo ukuba ipake kwindawo enabantu abakhubazekileyo esekwe kubukho bo "anti" ongabonakaliyo, iGosa uChin bekufanele ukuba lijonge indlela uMnu. Lexus awayevale ngayo indlela yokukhubazeka kunye ne-ramp, emva koko wacela i-Grinch yokuzingca ukuba iphume kwindawo yokufikelela nje ngokuba yimfesane kwabakhubazekileyo. Kodwa uyazi, awungekhe ufundise imfesane kubantu abadala kunye nabakhubazekileyo, abantu nokuba banayo ngokwemvelo okanye abanayo. Ngokukwanjalo, ngekhe ubanike abantu ingqibelelo, imbeko, imbeko, okanye ukuqonda. Amapolisa aseHonolulu athumele uMnu Chin ukuba ayokumela; yeyiphi inkonzo eyindumasi, okanye ndingathi ndinganikezeli ngenkonzo?
Ndothuswe kukubona imvume yeFort Shafter kwideshibhodi yeLexus. Ndivela kwintsapho yasemkhosini; Ndiyazi amaxabiso asemkhosini, kwaye imbeko igcinwe kwelona zinga liphezulu. Ndiyabazi abantu baseFort Shafter, abanakuze babe nantlonelo ngakubantu abakhubazekileyo. Ndixelele umnumzana uLexus emva kokuba iGosa uChin limxelele ukuba akufuneki ahambise imoto yakhe, ndizakumxela emkhosini. Eli liliso elimnyama kuwo onke amajoni amadoda nabasetyhini abanikele kakhulu, nkqu nangobomi babo, egameni lembeko. Umnumzana uLexus wayengeyondoda, indoda yokwenyani ngekhe yajonga kum, kwisihlalo esinamavili, kwaye yenqaba ukuhambisa imoto yayo ivimbe i-wheelchair ramp. Uye wanyusa igxalaba lakhe, ukuze andazise ukuba akakhathali, emva koko wabuyela kwintombi yakhe encinci ukuze aqhubeke nokuya kwindawo ye-IBM.
Ukuziphatha kwakhe kwakungaqondakali. Amadoda omkhosi anengqibelelo awatsali loo nto kubantu abakhubazekileyo. Ndiyawazi amadoda omkhosi. Banobuntu. Banembeko. Ndiyawazi amadoda anikele ngobomi bawo ukukhusela abantu beli lizwe. Kusisithuko kwimbeko yomkhosi ukuba omnye wabantu babo azingce kakhulu ngekhe asuse imoto yakhe kwisitrato sabakhubazekile.
Ngokubanzi uRobert Brooks Brown ngumphathi e-Fort Shafter. Ndiyamazi; ungumnumzana kwaye ungumfundi. Uphumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo iGrosse Pointe North eGrosse Pointe, eMichigan. Kulapho ndivela khona. Ndifundise eGrosse Pointe kwiZikolo zikaRhulumente nakwiMfundo yoLuntu eGrosse Pointe War Memorial. Ndiyalwazi usapho lwakhe; bangabantu abanengqibelelo ephezulu nembeko. Abahambisani nolo hlobo lokungahloniphi abantu abakhubazekileyo. Ngokubanzi nosapho lwakhe baziwa kakuhle kuMazantsi mpuma eMichigan; Umfazi wakhe, uPatti Pope waseGrosse Pointe Woods ngutitshala wabantwana abanesiphiwo. Bangothuka xa bebona enye “yamadoda” abo iziphatha ngolu hlobo.
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba isimilo seGosa likaChin silihlazo kwiSebe lamaPolisa laseHonolulu, kananjalo, liliso elimnyama kwiShishini lezoKhenketho laseHawaii. Oku asikokubuka iindwendwe. Le yiBarbarism. Ukwala kukaMnu. Lexus ukubonisa isimilo esiqhelekileyo kubantu abakhubazekileyo sisithuko kubo bonke abantu ababekekileyo eFort Shafter; le ndoda izonwabisa ngozuko nentlonipho efunyenwe ngoogxa bayo, kodwa njengehagu esemva komkhosi womkhosi. Iwadi yase Wadi iphume ngandlela zonke ukubonelela ngolonwabo olukumgangatho wehlabathi eluntwini; abantu kuye kwafuneka i-RSVP iiveki kwangaphambili, kwaye itikiti ngalinye ukuya kulo msitho lithathiwe. Kodwa ngenxa kaMnu Lexus, uvuyo lwabo lwaphangwa.
Isidanga sam sokugqibela sobugqirha sikwi-anthropology yenkcubeko. Ndiyazi ukuba abantu baseTshayina bayixabisa kangakanani intlonipho kubantu abadala, kwaye ndiyazi ukuba abanakuze bathintele indlela yokukhubazeka efunekayo ngabadala. Ukuziphatha kweGosa likaChin kulihlazo kuluntu lwaseTshayina; ngekhe bavume ukujija abantu abadala.
