Catherine Bradbury – Editor-in-Chief, MacLean’s
Sunil – Communications, MacLean’s
Stephanie Findlay – Reporter, (co-author) MacLean’s
Colleen Hua – National President, CCNC
Ida Koh – Volunteer, CCNC
Eric Li – Vision Youth
Mr. Andy Mark – Interim Executive Director, CCNCTO
Alick Siu
Rebecca Tam – Director, CCNC TO
Dr. Joseph Wong – Founder CCNC
Victor Wong – Executive Director, CCNC National
Also Steven Lam and Jason Liang – Ontario Chinese Indonesian Association joined us for a debrief.
Maclean’s discussed how the article came about - heard students using racial proportion in universities as a factor in their choice of schools.
They stated their support the merit system and that is what the article is about; celebrating the merit system in Canada.
They feel heartened that the article has provoked open and deep discussions on the subject of self-selection in universities.
They felt that perhaps different generations view ‘race issues’ differently.
We noted that perception is everything, noted that the inflammatory title was accompanied by photo of two Chinese youths carrying a PRC flag
The article has touched a raw nerve in Chinese community, perhaps in part due to the W5 experience
We produced the original copy with the original title – “Too Asian”, the current web version adds a question mark: “Too Asian”?
We highlighted the impact that the article has had on the community regardless of the intent.
Overall the discussion was very heated. We rejected the generational argument by pointing out that many of the negative comments on the Maclean’s website are from current U of T students.
Maclean’s offered to publish a letter from CCNC.
I said that we would report back to the larger group first and get back to them in a couple of days.
In our debrief, when the Maclean’s delegation left, some of us felt that Maclean’s did understand our concerns.
Collectively, we decided to bring this to the larger group as an initial position for discussion.
Scenario #1: continue with our public criticism, write a letter for publication in Maclean’s, use this as a case study everywhere we go
Scenario #2: continue with our public criticism, reject Maclean’s suggestion, make an alternative proposal (please fill in the blanks)
