平權會抗議:報導扭曲華人父母形象
記者邱錦宇
多倫多報導
針對麥克琳雜誌及多倫多星報於10日分別撰文寫到「校園太亞洲」(too Asian)，及「亞洲學生被強迫就讀大學」，全加華人協進會 (平權會）認為這兩篇文章中充滿了對亞裔人士的偏見及歧視，並立即提出嚴重譴責及抗議。
平權會總幹事黃煜文指出，當父母教育子女不要吸菸、不要吸毒、要在學校做好學習等，是善盡做父母的責任，相信不同族裔的父母都會以相同的事情提醒子女，不只有華裔家庭。但部分媒體錯誤引用統計數字，強調有85%的華人父母會強迫子女就讀大學，華人父母會強迫子女選讀工程、醫學、會計、藥劑等專業課目，導致華人子弟承受龐大壓力等，是對華人父母形象的扭曲，使社會對華裔家庭產生負面評價。

Report from Toronto
In response to the articles about “the Asianization of campuses” and Asian students who were forced to go to university written by Maclean’s and Toronto Star on the 10th, the Chinese Canadian National Council (CCNC) believes that the two articles are full of prejudice and discrimination against people of Asian descent, and raises serious condemnations and protests immediately.
Huang Yuwen, director-General of the CCNC, pointed out that parents are doing their best to be responsible when they educate their children not to smoke nor do drugs and to study hard in school, etc. [He] believes that parents of different ethnicities will inform their children about the same things, not only Chinese families. However, some media misquoted the statistics, emphasizing that 85% of Chinese parents would force their children to go on to tertiary education, and that Chinese parents would force their children to choose engineering, medicine, accounting, pharmacy and other professional subjects, which has caused tremendous pressures for Chinese children. This has distorted the image of Chinese parents and has caused society to have a negative view of Chinese families.
