peril proves
bitter pill
By Dr, Gordon Chong
The CTV W5 program 4 4Campus Giveaway", which depicted pur universities as being taken over by 'foreign*' Chinese students, has evoked angry and indignant responses from many segments of the Canadian community - civil rights groups, academic organizations and institutions, as well as the Chinese Canadian community. ���� �.'.<';.' , ',
Statistics wete used on this program which seemed to have [he ring of accurac^and credibilr
; however, a number of reliable authorities have isince proven �hem. to be distortions and gross 'i accuracies. The; general tenor ot-; 'Campus Giveaway'* was cle- ~ y'crly. but not too subtly, contrived to arouse or revive a fear of the Yellow- Peril. To put it mildly, this program was. certainly less than objective.
Canadians of Chinese.origin are still outraged. . It has been confirmed that many of * the alleged foreigners; shown in the program are in fact permanent residents or Canadian citizens. Attempts to air these grievances through the CRTC and CTV have so ; far proven to be futile, Feelings'of frustration and'helplessness have aggravated tfte deepening anger and resentment .>f Chinese Canadians. Th< very idea that, a visible minority igroup would be singled out for attack because of .excellence has intensified this indignation';
The CTV is perceived by Chinese Canadians (and perhaps Others) as a monolithic institution with hazy policies ;df-public accountability and seemingly unlimited power. If the j program, goes unchallenged by the agencies that have jurisdiction over, it (i.e.. the CRTC) and by groups who have a legitimate right to express concern and disapproval (<L�. the Canadian and Ontario governments), then CTV will feel that they can operate in tl^is manner with impunity, and Chinese Can-' adians will regard themselves as second-class citizens! 1' rather doubt this will increase "the acceptance of . ethnocultural .groups^ and their members, as full participants ih Canadian society", as apparently desjfred government policy. *
Why was jfhe Chinese student population singled out for this obviously biased piece of reporting? One reason could be that the community \- has responded to provocation in the past by simply turning the other cheek. Another reason could be that the Chinese, being a Visible minority, are naturally niore prominent when their numbers increase in any group. Another reason might well be that because the Chinese students do so well academically they are a natural target for others to resent and envy.
Whatever the reason, this situation must not be allowed to persist because it does nothing "to encourage and assist the full realization of the multicultural nature of Canadian society'*, nor does it -\*'facilitate the mutual appreciation and understanding among all Canadians" for which we are all striving.
At the; same time when all Canadians are concerned about Canadian unity and a Canadian identity, are we going to stand idly by while an ethnocultural group in Canadian society is singled out for attack? If we are going to do more than pay lip service tojthe pursuit of Canadian unity, all Canadians, individually and collectively, must speak out and condemn CTV for the shoddy journalism exemplified by the W5 program.; Such irresponsible reporting'is a divisive force and a real threat to our pursuit of Canadian unity.
At the very least; pressure should be brought to bear to make CTV issue an apology and agree to do a program in the very near future illustrating the positive aspects and contributions of the Chinese Canadian community to Canada. In the future, they should agree to do similar programs fdr other ethnocultural groups as well. Nothing less is really acceptable in our quest for ' Canadian unity. v:'.'-y �:'�>"���':
