Chapter 1419

"Hahaha, I knew I wouldn't get anything out of asking."

"This kind of thing, the old folks really can't say directly; not getting involved is the best choice."

"She definitely knows."

"Hahaha, and you still went to ask her."

"This matter won't have an answer; either she comes out to clarify herself, or it gets cold-handled."

As long as you have no fixed abode and cannot prove you hold a steady, legal job, if you dare loiter on the streets and happen to have a police officer nearby who takes a dislike to you.

"Alright, you go play; this doesn't concern you anymore."

Just like a kindergarten painting class, Wen Xia and the others used their hands as brushes, employing techniques even messier than children's to roam freely across Luo Quan's smooth, snow-white back.

Because the Chinese diaspora sits at the very bottom of the discrimination chain, yet the Chinese diaspora usually looks down on mainland Chinese in turn.

Luo Quan had no idea how this logic was derived, and understood even less why these people would make everyone reflect.

When the Chinese diaspora chose to abandon their own identity, they should have understood there would be this result; whatever happens afterward has nothing to do with China anymore.

But what left Luo Quan most speechless was that, while foreigners were almost unanimously condemning Little Robert, domestically there was a whole crowd of people telling China to reflect.

America is indeed a good place, but only for the rich.

Yes, although China is already the world's second-largest economy and its comprehensive national power ranks among the top three globally, the Chinese diaspora in America remains the most susceptible to discrimination.

The reason it's called discrimination is because this overlooked Oscar Best Supporting Actor winner comes from Vietnam and is an Asian.

In the past, Luo Quan would even have made a few sharp comments, trying to scold these spineless people awake.

His story began on a Vietnamese refugee boat; the first half of his life was spent wandering in displacement, tasting every bitterness.

If you're a run-person who smuggled into America, even if you stand on the street doing nothing, you might still get arrested and thrown in prison.

Perhaps this bunch has knelt for too long; they don't know that Chinese people today are no longer the same as before.

Borrowing the words of a director she collaborated with to describe such people: "Cheap or not cheap, really too cheap."

The hottest foreign news recently isn't some royal scandal, but the discrimination that occurred at the Oscars.

Suddenly, Luo Quan felt a sense of having been violated.

Although perhaps he was a bit too obsequious toward America, his on-camera performance too exaggerated, constantly revealing a kind of petty-man's-triumph wild joy.

Wen Xia poured a bit of brown sunscreen oil into her hand, then without a word slapped it directly onto Luo Quan's perky buttocks.

These people knelt because they originally wanted to kneel; no one forced them.

Wen Xia patted Luo Quan's butt, signaling she could turn over now.

"Making the same stupid mistake a second time, huh?"

Originally, this Oscar ceremony's award distribution was very clear — Oppenheimer sweeping everything, almost no suspense at all.

*Smack* — a slap, hitting Luo Quan's buttocks into rippling waves.

"What's there to apply that for?" Luo Quan frowned and asked, "You apply it yourself; I shouldn't need this stuff."

Additionally, "The Sea" also won Best International Feature Film, counting as a bumper harvest.

"Alright, the back is done; now it's the front's turn."

Otherwise, with this much sunscreen oil slapped on, it might make the underwear all sticky too.

Not long after things quieted down, Chunzi suddenly walked over holding a bottle of sunscreen: "Quan-jiang, want some sunscreen oil?"

Luo Quan doesn't know why these people think that just by arriving in America their lives would get better.

If it were someone else it might not cause too big a wave, but Little Robert's popularity is simply too high.

As for Chinese people, at least on Twitter Luo Quan hasn't really seen them being unilaterally cursed without being able to retort.

"Hehe, as long as you know."

But for a commoner, what you face are exorbitant medical costs, shootings that could appear beside you at any moment, unfriendly neighbors and police, and all kinds of bizarre incidents.

However, when Little Robert went on stage to accept the award, he didn't even glance at this former winner — his attitude extremely contemptuous, outright discrimination.

As the soul figure who revived Marvel, as the best hero in countless movie fans' hearts, his Iron Man is undoubtedly a character that will go down in film history.

Luo Quan hissed, staring at Wen Xia and gritting her teeth.

"Looks like everyone can only wait it out."

Precisely because his fame is great and influence high, that's why this time at the Oscar ceremony Asians would suffer such a huge negative impact.

This is the free United States of America, where a jobless drifter daring to loiter on the streets might end up in jail.

"You all."

Now he has become the Oscar Best Supporting Actor, even received an audience with the U. S. President — a model of a little figure's counterattack.

It was also by virtue of this role that Little Robert became the undisputed big boss in the Marvel Universe, garnering who knows how many fans.

Like being inside some low-budget island-country film.

Little Robert later took a photo with Mr. Guan, which also counts as a clarification of the racial discrimination rumors.

Luo Quan was startled and hurriedly turned her head to see what Wen Xia and the others were up to.

All kinds of harsh words and threats released by these countries look like jokes to Chinese people; they don't even have the inclination to pay attention.

Although the livestream battery wasn't enough anymore, there was still power to check the news and scroll Weibo.

"Missing since after last Christmas, it's been half a year now; not many months left until Christmas again."

"Right, Boss, sunscreen oil is good stuff." Shen Xingyu chimed in too, "You agree, right, Wen Xia-jie?"

Luo Quan felt her back was already wet enough to open a sunscreen oil specialty store, and helplessly reminded Wen Xia and the others.

Regardless of whether he actually discriminated at the time, his willingness to put on a show afterward — this attitude is actually enough.

Wen Xia slapped the left half, Luo Luo Chu Yi slapped the right half, one each.

Luo Quan waved her hand, making her chest sway along with the motion.

"Normal, a traditional art."

It seems the Oscars have to stir up some big news every year to boost their popularity.

"By then they'll probably pull out some fake AI photos or AI videos as a cheap stunt."

As a result, these two films didn't generate much buzz, but now a bunch of spineless people have aggressively snatched attention from them due to discrimination.

Being at the bottom of the ethnic discrimination chain among Chinese-Americans doesn't mean ethnic Chinese people receive the same treatment.

Because these jumping clowns simply don't deserve it.

Five women, ten hands, immediately placed themselves on Miss Luo Quan's beautiful back.

The good news is that《Wasteland》not only won the Actors Guild Award but also smoothly took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

After all, racial discrimination can be big or small; if the attitude isn't fierce enough, later everyone will come to pile on, which is indeed quite disgusting.

In short, after doing something wrong, netizens condemn it, and the parties involved apologize or clarify—then it's over.

While thinking, Miss Luo Quan discovered that the fabric on her buttocks had somehow been pulled open a bit.

Whether it's Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Turkish, Indian, or even English, French, American, Canadian, Australian—whenever someone provokes, the overseas netizens can see counterattacks launched in Chinese characters! Moreover, the rebuttals are delivered with full confidence.

Now all parties are still guessing, with no definitive news confirming anything.

"Paper can't wrap fire; if they really do this, even the big shots basically understand what's going on."

If they took money, it could still be understood, but the most incomprehensible are those who took no money at all—many of them seem to have a touch of cerebral palsy.

Then congratulations, he can arrest you directly on the charge of vagrancy, with a maximum fine of ten thousand dollars and up to six months in jail.

If you want to find a group with a status lower than Asian-Americans, it's probably only Chinese-Americans.

"I'm afraid it's more likely to be a lost cause."

She stood on the crowded tram, and then countless pairs of large hands behind her began to act wantonly upon her.

This is the confidence completely unlike that of the few YouTube bigwigs who are completely fed up.

"What force is needed to apply sunscreen? It's not like I'm giving you a massage." Miss Luo Quan rolled her eyes, speaking helplessly: "Just pour it directly on your body and then spread it evenly—what's so hard about that?"

Yet there are still people who actively grovel, going to serve other countries as dogs.

"Hehe, your pants are a bit wrinkled; I'll straighten them out for you."

"Mainly, this is still the first time we've applied sunscreen for you, Boss."

……………………

That is, a Vietnamese-American was discriminated against due to race, and then ethnic Chinese people are expected to reflect on their own faults.

Later she discovered that no matter what she did, it was actually futile.

It's well known that the status of Asians in the U. S. is even lower than that of Blacks and Latinos, basically at the very bottom of the discrimination chain.

Wen Xia smiled at Miss Luo Quan, then poured sunscreen onto her back.

"Did you hear that, fans? It's not that I don't want to inquire for you—it's really that we don't know the inside story either."

"Are you applying sunscreen or swatting flies? Don't you know to be gentler?"

Miss Luo Quan assessed the four women who had already surrounded her: "You guys agreed to come this way, right? Looks like today I have to apply sunscreen whether I want to or not?"

This Vietnamese-American surnamed Guan is just such a lucky one.

First, second, two, three, four.

Because in U. S. law there is a provision called vagrancy.

Also fortunate that Miss Luo Quan is wearing a bikini, with less fabric than ordinary four-cornered short pants.

The barrage is full of teasing remarks.

Because you can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep.

Wen Xia smiled and explained: "You're not a superman physique, huh—I'm afraid if I use too little force, you won't feel anything."

"You guys, pay attention to this amount—sunscreen sticking to clothes will be very uncomfortable." Miss Luo Quan no longer wanted to scold them, so she could only look at her phone while reminding them.

"How could such a big matter possibly be expected to be known by outsiders?"

Also fortunate that Gao Liang didn't repeat his grandfather's original words; otherwise, if this kept being broadcast, heaven knows how big a mess it would cause.

……………………

After saying that, she sighed and very consciously lay down on the beach chair.

Famous star Xiao Luobert won this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor; according to convention, he will be presented this award by last year's Best Supporting Actor winner.

Yet the most humorous point of this matter is that, even while facing the most severe discrimination, many run-people still aspire to live in the U. S., even dreaming of obtaining a green card.

Some things and some people are just this strange: an outsider does something wrong to another outsider, then turns around and scolds their own people.

But this is by no means the reason he should suffer discrimination.

After chatting for a while with no conclusion, Miss Luo Quan glanced at her phone, whose battery was nearly dead, and said: "Fans, my phone is about to die; I'll go back to the room later and resume the livestream—bye for now."

There, money can buy almost anything, even allowing people to openly violate the law.

For such people, Miss Luo Quan can only evaluate as a bestiary enriching the diversity of Luo humanity, providing valuable material for future human researchers.

Miss Luo Quan completely failed to notice her younger brother's abnormality, turned her head, and resumed communicating with fans.

"If it's really like this, the fun would just get bigger."

Before, it was Emperor Smith slapping the host; this time, Xiao Luobert openly discriminated against Asians.

It was purely accidental, really accidental, truly accidental—Gao Liang glanced unintentionally twice, then immediately turned and fled in panic.

Then, without waiting for fans to persuade her to stay, Miss Luo Quan directly shut down her phone livestream.

Su Yu also walked over: "How can you not apply sunscreen? Your skin is naturally fair, and today the sun is so strong—you don't want to come home later and get a bikini tan line on your body, do you?"

"Things are roughly like this." Gao Liang put down his phone and looked toward his older sister, saying.

Of course, netizens don't buy it, keep scolding, which is understandable.

For the lower strata of society, this place is hell.

But hey, even hell might produce a few lucky ones who get lifted up to heaven.

At this moment Luo Chu Yi emerged from who knows where again, and slapped another palmful of sunscreen onto Luo Quan's butt.

Over in Japan and Korea they were already cursing Little Robert to high heaven, and in Europe and America quite a few people also felt Little Robert doing this was extremely inappropriate.

Whether it was dissatisfaction with Mr. Guan's ethnicity, or dissatisfaction with him winning last year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, in any case Little Robert humiliated Mr. Guan in front of countless people.

Racial discrimination is the taboo among taboos in the West; anyone who touches it has a ninety-nine percent probability of being blacklisted.

And this matter immediately stirred up a huge uproar on the foreign internet and on Weibo.

One can only say it's fortunate Little Robert didn't go too far; otherwise whether this Oscar Best Supporting Actor would be reclaimed by the Academy the next day was still hard to say.

Yet clearly one's own status was that high, and one's confidence was that ample.

"That's about enough, are you lot brushing oil on barbecue meat here?"

Luo Quan pursed her lips and turned around, arms crossed as she looked at the women, seeing a mischievous glint flashing in all their eyes.

Then Luo Quan said: "You guys don't go too far, okay!"
