(4) MACLEAN’S MAGAZINE “TOO
ASIAN” ARTICLE
– REQUEST FOR APOLOGY (12.2.6)
Whereas
Markham is the most culturally diverse community in Canada; and,
Whereas
Markham, while promoting a common goal to make our community a harmonious place
to work and live for everyone, stands proudly in its commitment to the
inclusion and integration of all communities and the appreciation of
differences; and,
Whereas
Markham is striving to promote unity and understanding and recognizes that
discrimination against any group is a disservice to all; and,
Whereas
Markham is home to two Welcome Centres that work actively to assist newcomers
in making Markham their home and contributing to Canadian society; and,
Whereas
Markham is recognized as a leader in diversity and in 2010 launched its leading
edge Diversity Action Plan titled “Everyone Welcome” which serves as the
basis of a ten-year strategy to further promote unity and inclusiveness; and,
Whereas
Markham has proudly declared its commitment to the removal of barriers and the
promotion of the value of diversity by joining, along with more than 35 other
Canadian municipalities, the Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and
Discrimination (CMARD); and,
Whereas
Markham takes seriously its membership in CMARD and the further commitment to
share with the community the responsibility for respecting and promoting Human
Rights and diversity; and,
Whereas
Markham takes immense pride in engaging its vibrant communities through year
round celebrations, proclamations and flag raisings that reflect its rich
history and diversity, such as but not limited to: Actifest, Black History
Month Awards, Canada Day Celebration, Chinese New Year Celebration, Christmas tree
lighting Celebration, India Independence Day, Junior Achievement’s Diversity
Day, Many Faces of Markham, Markham Fair, Markham Festival, Menorah lighting
Celebration, Milliken Children’s Festival, Pakistan National Day, Philippine
Week, Seniors’ events, Taste of Asia, Thornhill Festival, Unionville Festival,
all of which underscore our philosophy of “One Family, One Markham, One
Canada”; and,
Whereas
it is against this backdrop that we read with regret the November 22, 2010,
university ranking edition of Maclean’s magazine featuring an article
titled “Too Asian?”; and,
Whereas
the article racially profiles and stereotypes both Asian Canadian and Caucasian
Canadian students; and,
Whereas
Markham, regardless of Maclean’s statement and changed headline, continues
to find Maclean’s failure to provide a proper analysis of university
enrolment and student behaviour troubling; and,
Whereas
that failure resulted in and/or contributed to the promotion of division,
stereotyping and intolerance; and,
Whereas
Markham sees the varied reactions to the Maclean’s article as an
opportunity to open a positive dialogue that contributes to the enhanced
understanding and inclusion consistent with our shared Canadian values;
Therefore,
be it resolved:
1) That
Markham Council call on Maclean’s magazine to affirm its support for
balanced, fair and ethical reporting, and for promoting diversity, social
justice and respect for all; and,
2) That
Markham Council direct staff to organize a lecture series with a focus on the
portrayal of cultural communities in the media; and,
3) That
Markham Council continue to demonstrate its leadership and commitment to “One
Family, One Markham, One Canada”; and further,
4) That
a copy of this resolution be circulated to Maclean’s magazine, the
Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination (CMARD), the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the Audit Bureau of Circulations,
and the Canadian Newspaper Association.
