抗议声中，万锦游戏开发公司撤“肮脏的中餐馆”视频游戏并向华人社区道歉

在一片抗议声中，开发“肮脏的中餐馆”视频游戏的万锦游戏开发公司撤游戏并向华人社区道歉。

这家公司昨天在脸书刊登这一决定，并向华人社区表示“诚挚”和“正式的道歉。

"After careful consideration and taking the time to listen to the publics opinion we have decided it’s not in anyone’s best interest to release Dirty Chinese Restaurant. We would like to make a sincere and formal apology to the Chinese community and wish to assure them that this game was not created with an intentional interest of inflicting harm or malice against Chinese culture.

Out of respect we will begin removing all marketing media pertaining to DCR off our Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts. These accounts will also be removed. We ask the press to please respect our privacy at this time as we begin the task of removing all our content."

该公司开发“肮脏的中餐馆”视频游戏的消息被披露后，被批“种族定型”和“种族歧视”，遭到了政界和华人社区的抗议。

最早就“肮脏的中餐馆”发声的政界人物——美国纽约州众议员孟昭文在脸书上表示，她对游戏发展公司决定不发行这个“种族歧视”的视频游戏感到高兴，但认为“事情能发展到目前的程度，令人忧虑"。

"Racism must be called out, whenever and wherever we see it. I want to thank everyone who joined me and spoke out against the demeaning and negative stereotypes depicted in the video game, Dirty Chinese Restaurant. While I’m pleased that Big-O-Tree Games has decided not to release its racist video game, it is disturbing that something like this would have progressed as far as it did. I would hope that this company will not live up to its name in future endeavors."
