When was the most beautiful moment this week?

「今週一番素敵な瞬間はいつだった？」

と私は教室に入ってきた生徒さんによく聞きます。

昨日ある高校生の男の子に聞いたところ、

When I listened to ‘Hey Mr. Natzi’

という答え。

これは、ドイツ生まれの日本人が差別を受けて育ってきた心情をドイツ語のラップでネオナチに向けて歌っているもの。

２０１７年にリリースされてすでに1700万回再生されているそうです。

外国に住んだことがある人はほとんどみんな何らかの差別を感じたことがあると思います。今世界中で起こっている黒人の差別に対するデモ。多くの人がその背景をしっかり考えて欲しいと思います。

Hey Mr. Nazi

Aha

Hey Mr. Nazi

I have to have a word with you, please listen to me

Look at me, what do you see in me?

Just a small foreigner, who smells like an animal?

A dumb chink, a fucking rice muncher

Who you immediately cremate in the best case

Please tell me, ’cause I want to know what you think

Because it is my will, that you realize the right thing now

‘Cause I don’t smell at all, I take a shower every day

Man, would I smell, I would get the brush-off from the gals

And no, I don’t only want to eat rice

Sometimes I also want to put a sausage in a mustard jar

And then devour it appreciatively, you wouldn’t have guessed that

See, now I have brought some light in your world

I don’t attack you, I reach the hand to you

Please listen to my words, soak them up like a sponge

‘Cause it is easy to say, Nazis out

But every man can change, I think Nazis too

And I say

[Refrain]

Hey Mr. Nazi come to my party

I introduce my friends to you

This here are Juspé and Kati, Thorsten and Fatih

We have the same humor

And we say Hey Mr. Nazi come to my party I show you my culture

This here are sushi and technology; Mangas and Origami

I know that since my birth

Do you know the feeling, when a person hurts you

‘Cause a person leaves you even though you fight until last

Or the feeling when something good happens and for a little while you lose all the worries about the future

Or when you are in love, I don’t even have to say it myself

The feeling as if you could hug the whole world

I know you know it too, we aren’t entirely different

But you kick the man and let him lay there

And the worst of it all, he was father of a family and now

At his home a giant drama prevails

The daughter doesn’t understand it and so she asks herself every day:

“Mommy, but tell me why isn’t daddy there anymore?”

“He promised that he would buy me new arm floats and that we would have a picnic by the windmills.”

Eventually she will understand what all of this means, but now she just stands there and sees the mom cry

[Refrain]

It isn’t easy to grapple with loneliness

Every man wants to have like-minded people around him

And before you know you are in a circle of friends, in which you point with the finger on people with different skin colors

And that can happen quickly, that is no lie

The most people have racist traits somewhere

I see racist teachers and racist captains and

racist Germans and racist foreigners

And back in the day I was a little bit of a racist, and something like that comes from me, do you see

Now how easy that is?

Yes I know, you always hear me say Jap to and fro, but essentially I don’t give a damn

I’m just a nice guy

And now I give these words my power and so I give up all my prejudices

You say I see that way too extreme with the prejudices, but exactly those are the source for war and hate

And we say
