本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛OMG, Have to say, what a big pile of B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T this article is! If this is not something racist, I don't know what it is.
Now basic facts:
- Most, if not all, of the so-called 'Asian' students are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, thus they have the same right of education as do the other Canadian citizens and permanent residents;
- These students are competing with other students under the same rules;
- Some students fair better in schools and universities because they are smarter, or work harder, or being smarter and work harder at the same time;
If our society truly value equal opportunity for all citizens, then race, skin color and ethnicity should not matter. As long as the participants are competing on the same starting line and following the same fair rules, why is there a problem at all?
This MacLeans' featured article sure will make the magazine famous, or rather infamous, especially when it's year 2010 AD.
Based on what I've seen, the majority of sensible parents would hope that one day their kids would have higher education, no matter which ethnic group or race they are from. The reason is simple, formal higher education is the key to attain skills and get prepared to contribute to the well-being of the society. Why is there anything wrong for the parents bearing such hopes? Even if it's true that some of the students are not fully prepared for the advance learning in universities, or even post-graduate social life, so what? Just let them accept the failure, accept the reality, it's purely the choices made by the students and their families, it's their own problem, not yours. As Canadians we have basic rights to make our own choices in our lives, as long as we are following the rules and obeying the laws, you as a by-stander have no right to interfere. Just mind your own business!
This article is wrong, in that it's directing all the blames toward a specific minority group, the 'Asian', and what's even more outrageous is that it's blaming the 'Asians' for expecting a too brighter future and working too hard! Now it's beyond being appauling! If we can not call it racism, I serious don't know what we can call it.
Again, as Canadian citizens and permanent residents, we should enjoy the same civil rights, including education. I think it'd be fair to say that majority of Canadians of Asian ancestry are intelligent, hardworking, and responsible citizens, they are doing their substantial part to contribute to the well-being of our society. What they are doing is competing under the same rules. The success of students of Asian ancestry is nothing but the result of their hard-working!
Sorry, but based on what I've read in this article, I have to try to figure out what's behind it, what is in the mind of the author. Now if you do a little research about the universities in the US, you'll see there's something disturbing. There, as far as I've heard, lots of universities would impose a quota based on different ethnic groups/races, as a result, for an Asian student to be enrolled in such a university, it'd take quite extra efforts, no matter how smart and how excellent he or she is academically. Let's don't beat the bush, the main-stream society here is still dominated by white people. Based on what Ive seen and experienced, in the minds of some of the white people, in charge or not, still they can't accept other minority groups' presence. Some even hate minorities, including people look like 'Asians'. Since some of their kids are used to being lazy and are not working hard thus it'd be so hard for them to compete fairly with other hard-working students, mostly from other ethnic groups, these parents are worrying about their kids' future. So some of these folks might just throw out something like this article, so as to prepare for the day when they can use their influences to change the rules to make the rules advantageous for their not-so hard-working kids to get into the universities. Believe me, if we just sit here saying nothing, this will happen one day in Canada, and the universities will limit the number of 'Asian' students. Now, this IS racism in action!
I feel so sorry about all these, I can't believe what I'm witnessing. It's 2010 AD, in Canada.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
