CCNC and CCNCTO and a number of community organizations met with Maclean’s on November 12<SUP>th</SUP> and again on November 17<SUP>th</SUP> for hour each time. Maclean’s had offered to publish a letter from CCNC in a future edition. CCNC and CCNCTO, after consulting with various community organizations responded with a 4 point proposal:

1. Maclean’s will publish a ‘rebuttal’ article of generous length from CCNC (ie. 2 to 4 pages or an article of similar length to the original article);
2. Maclean’s will acknowledge that the article is offensive and full of stereotypes and will offer an unqualified public apology to Canadians to be published in Maclean’s magazine within 1 month of original publication of the article in the November 22 edition;
3. Maclean’s will assign staff involved with the original article to participate in public meetings organized in response to this article; and
4. Maclean’s will work with university students of various backgrounds including students of Asian descent (ie. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) to write no less than 3 additional articles of similar length to the original article on the topics of diversity and racism on university campuses.
In the end, Maclean’s agreed to points 1, 3, and 4 with some adjustments, however they flatly rejected #2 – the unqualified public apology. CCNC and CCNCTO Boards take the position that the public apology is central to genuine resolution of this issue. Therefore, it is the position of both organizations to reject this “no apology” response from Maclean’s. This means that the entire package is rejected, even points 1, 3 and 4.

For the past week, CCNC and CCNCTO have been attending various community and youth forums to listen to various perspectives and suggestions for action. It’s become very apparent that this issue has generated a largely negative response from many sectors in society.

CCNC and CCNCTO will be working in solidarity with groups to plan future action.

that's the way-to put things in perspective.

So if there is discrimination in China, Canadians are justified in discriminating against the Chinese? What kind of logic is that?

It reminds me of what the Chinese government said in 1997, "Why do Hong Kong people want democracy now even though the British have never instituted a democratic government in Hong Kong since 1841?" One mistake justifies another mistake?

Of course not. A mistake is a mistake. We cannot correct all mistakes all together, but at least some people are trying to correct this one.
