Tar-Baby
В современном использовании дегтярный ребенок относится к проблемной ситуации, которая только усугубляется дополнительным вмешательством в нее.
СОДЕРЖАНИЕ
История [ править ]
Связанные истории [ править ]
Антрополог Элси Клюз Парсонс составила обширный список ссылок на истории о Tar Baby из североамериканских, латиноамериканских и африканских публикаций по фольклору. [5]
Идиоматические ссылки [ править ]
История породила две идиомы американского английского. Ссылки на притворные протесты Бр’эр Кролика, такие как «пожалуйста, не закидывайте меня в этот брайер-патч», относятся к коварному поиску чего-то, делая вид, что протестуют, причем «шиповник» часто означает более выгодную ситуацию или среду для одного из стороны. [18]
Термин « ребенок дегтя » стал обозначать проблему, которая усугубляется попытками с ней бороться, или расширением ситуации, в которой простой контакт может привести к неразрывному вовлечению. [19]
Расистская интерпретация [ править ]
Хотя документально подтверждено, что термин «дегтярный ребенок» происходит из сказки африканского происхождения, у некоторых американцев его ассоциации изменились. Они считают дегтярный ребенок уничижительным термином для афроамериканцев. [20] Оксфордский словарь английского языка упоминает деготь ребенок как «презрительный термин для черного человека», [21] и подписка версия также упоминает «уничижительный термин для Black (США) или Маори (NZ)». [19] [22]
