Seconded by Councillor

1) That consideration of
the following motion entitled “Maclean’s Magazine ‘Too Asian’ Article – Request
for Apology” be referred to the February 7, 2011 General Committee meeting:
“Whereas
the November 2010 university ranking edition of Maclean’s
magazine featured an article titled “Too Asian”?, the article as well as the
title itself, could only be described as offensive, divisive and intolerant;
and,
Whereas,
the article racially profiles and
stereotypes Asian Canadians as perpetual foreigners in Canada,
suggesting that students of Asian
heritage may be limiting opportunities for non-Asians at certain Canadian
universities; and,
Whereas, Markham is the most culturally diverse community in Canada; and,
Whereas,
Markham and the rest of Canada benefits from cultural diversity and have shared in the rich cultural
traditions of people of Asian heritage for many years; and,
Whereas,
Town of Markham is a member of the
Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination; and,
Whereas, this council supports Multiculturalism and Diversity and has just
launched its leading edge Diversity Action Plan last July to serve as the basis
of a ten-year strategy to promote unity and inclusiveness; and,
Whereas,
numerous community organizations have called upon Maclean's
to issue an unqualified apology for the negative stereotyping of people of
Asian descent who form the largest ethnic group within the Town’s population;
and,
Whereas,
the city councils of Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver have already passed
motions to express their concern for the negative impact of this article and
Richmond Hill town council is also preparing to take similar actions;
Therefore, be it resolved:
That Council request Maclean's
to issue a comprehensive and unqualified public apology for the negative stereotyping of the Asian-Canadian community and constructively address the
stereotypes and perceptions perpetuating racism in their article;
and
That Council move to write to Maclean's, advising them of this decision and expressing our
concern for the title and the contents of their article that may be perceived
as racist in nature; and further,
That Council call on Maclean’s
to affirm its support for ethical reporting and publishing around race and
ethnicity and for promoting diversity, tolerance and respect for all cultures.”
