Recently, there are several articles carried strong anti-Asians sentiments.
There is a common point in these articles: generalization and stereotyping.
While the authors of these articles are not necessary racists, there are
certainly misunderstandings and biases against Asians.
No culture in this world is perfect, every culture has its own merits and
demerits. It is equally true that no culture is superior. Tolerance and
acceptance are important ingredients in promoting racial/cultural harmony.
The wonder of Canadian society/culture lies in its multiculturalism.
IMHO, multiculturalism helps to enrich Canadian culture with emphasis on
equality, peace, law and order.
The idea of assimilation/melting pot is out-dated. The United States has
practice such idea for a very long time. However, race relation in the
States is still tense. That directly explains melting pot/assimilation does
not work.
Towards the 21st century, it is time to put aside those misunderstandings
and biases. It is time to understand and learn from each other. We
should work together to build a better Canada.
