A Baylor student was shoved and called the n-word. This is how the school responded. ベイラー大学のある女子学生は、突きとばされ（shove）エヌ・ワード（差別用語、つまりniggerなどの禁句）を浴びせられた。学校側はすぐ対応した。
The exchange lasted just a few seconds, too quick for Natasha Nkhama to register anger, fear or rage. The morning after Donald Trump won the presidential election, the Baylor University sophomore was walking to her 10 a.m. neuroscience class when another student bumped into her. “He sort of shoved me off the sidewalk（歩道） and he said . . . ‘no n—–s （←伏せ字）allowed on the sidewalk,'” Nkhama recounted（詳しく述べる） on social media. “And I was just shocked.” Another male student came to her defense（別の男子学生が助けに来てくれた）, saying the behavior wasn’t okay, Nkhama recalled. But the blond student who used the racial slur called out a line（ひとくだり、文字の行） from Trump’s campaign slogan, Nkhama said, declaring: “I’m just trying to make America great again.”Nkhama steamed（配信する、話す） about it all through her neuroscience class. The psychology major（心理学専攻の彼女はザンビア生まれだが、テキサス育ちだ。そのダラスではクリントンが勝ったのに、州の投票人38人はトランプに票を投じていた） was born in Lusaka, Zambia, but moved to Texas when she was 3 years old. She grew up in Dallas County, which Hillary Clinton won easily, though the state’s 38 electoral votes went to to Trump. Baylor is in Waco, county seat of McLennan County, where Trump won more than 60 percent of the vote. Nkhama said she’d never experienced racial prejudice before at Baylor, where the student population is eight percent black and 65 percent white. But she had read about similar incidents involving minorities during Trump’s campaign and feared it would get worse after he won.（彼女は、白人が65％を占めるベイラーに来るまでこんなことなかったのに、と言う。トランプが勝利したので状況が悪化したのでは、と。）“I have friends and family that believe that racism doesn’t exist, that it’s something that happened in the 1900s,” she told The Washington Post on Monday. “This is something that happened to someone that you know. Racism is still happening right now, even if you’re not the one who’s personally experiencing it.” That’s why she went on Facebook and posted a video talking about the incident, she said.(人種差別は昔のことだという人もいるけど、でも今ここで起こっている。だから、それを知らせたい、とフェイスブックに投稿) Later, a friend shared her video on Twitter.（それを見た友人がツイッタ―でシェアしたら、あっという間に広がり、約300人が彼女を守ろうと集まってくれた。そこには先生や大学理事たちも）Two days later, her trip to her 10 a.m. class was vastly different. Three hundred people gathered to walk Nkhama to class — schoolmates, teachers, even school administrators. They had organized via the twitter hashtag #IWalkWithNatasha, which spread through the Baylor community. The crowd was there to keep her safe. The people gathered erupted into applause when Nkhama appeared. Overwhelmed, she hugged（抱きしめる） a nearby friend and cried. In a statement, Baylor University called the assault “deeply disturbing.” School officials said they had connected with Nkhama “to ensure she feels safe and supported by the Baylor community.” “We are a caring, Christian community（クリスチャン・コミュニティー） in which acts of violence and insensitivity（思いやりの無さ） have no place,” Baylor’s vice president for student life, Kevin P. Jackson, said in the statement. “As Baylor Bears, it is our responsibility to care for and treat each other with love, compassion and dignity. Any behavior short of this demands our full attention so that we can hold each other accountable while seeking to reconcile and restore damaged relationships.”
