ドイツにおける「ケビン」という名前の社会的偏見

Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.

The minimal version.

Yeah, okay. Is that minimal?

Oh, yeah.

Okay. Great.

All right.

We actually have so many, so many messages.

Yeah, sure we do.

Yeah.

It's been weeks.

First time getting a video.

Yeah, actually it's not the video message, but introducing a short video to you.

Got it.

So,以前ジェシカのイメージについてお話をされていましたが、

Kevinにもドイツだとイメージがあるみたいです。

Oh, wow.

ドイツね。

Yes.

アメリカの名前の世界でのイメージや、

日本の名前のアメリカでのイメージの動画を見てみたいです。

And this is the short clip.

Okay.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Can I play this?

Yeah, sure.

It's not illegal to call your kid Kevin in Germany, but Kevins do have a reputation here.

We need to talk about Kevin.

While Kevin's a totally normal name in the US, in Germany, so-called trendy exotic sounding

names are sometimes associated with lower social class and bad behavior.

In fact, German sociologists call this phenomenon Kevinism.

Poor Kevins.

One researcher said that the stereotype might be to do with the surge of Kevin popularity

amongst Eastern Germans in the 90s, which makes them look up stereotypes about the East.

Is there a name like Kevin in your country?

It's not illegal to call your kid Kevin in Germany.

Wow.

So the name Kevin is associated with low class society and poor people.

So sad.

What?

That is so sad.

Really?

That's a sad stereotype.

Very sad.

I thought it was going to be one of those like, Kevin's probably mean.

Kevin's probably like arrogant or like self-centered.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Low society civilization.

The poor people.

Wow.

That's the stereotype they got.

Yeah.

And based on this historical.

So sad.

Oh, I didn't expect this.

Wow.

That's, that's, that's sad.

Yeah.

But you know, that's just stereotypes.

That's just a stereotype.

Like, who believes in that shit, right?

Yeah, of course.

Of course.

None

Don't be, don't be, don't be.

Of course I'm not affected by that.

Of course it didn't hit me.

Of course I'm not.

Don't be sad.

I'm not sad.

I'm not sad that Kevin's a low class name.

What is low class name?

What's that?

I don't know.

That's a bad reputation.

Yeah.
