Boisclair says he has no intention of apologizing for remark about Asians

MONTREAL (CP) - A Montreal race relations group is calling on Parti Quebecois Leader Andre Boisclair to apologize for a remark he made about Asians.
But Boisclair refused to apologize Thursday for having referred to Asian students as having "slanting eyes." "I have no intention of apologizing," he replied when asked what he meant by his choice of words. The PQ leader, who was campaigning in Quebec City, said it's a term he uses frequently.
Boisclair was speaking to students on Wednesday about his studies at Harvard when he made the remark.
Boisclair was talking about global competition from Asian economies like India and China and the number of young people who leave these countries to pursue studies in the United States.
"The reality is these countries are not just working to create jobs in sweatshops," Boisclair said in Trois-Rivieres, Que.
"When I was in Boston, where I spent a year, I was surprised to see that on campus about one-third of the students doing their bachelor's degrees had slanting eyes."
Fo Niemi of the Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations said Thursday the remark is offensive.
"It's a racist stereotype," said Niemi, who is of Asian heritage.
Niemi said he knows Boisclair and he believes the PQ leader is sensitive to racial issues and that he just made a slip of the tongue.
But Niemi said a party official contacted after the speech insisted there was nothing wrong with the description of Asians.
"She was very aggressive and confrontational," Niemi said. "Basically, she said 'What's the problem?' "
It's not the first time race tensions have been raised in the campaign for the March 26 provincial election.
The Action democratique du Quebec ditched a candidate for saying Quebecers should have more children to avoid being overrun by "ethnics."
The province has also been embroiled in a debate over reasonable accommodation of racial, cultural and religious minorities.
Niemi said the race issue has been an "Achilles heel" for both the ADQ and the PQ, and it shows a need for more education in political ranks.
他完全可以说:I was surprised to see that on campus about one-third of the students doing their bachelor's degrees are Asian students. 但他却说: one-third of the students doing their bachelor's degrees had slanting eyes.
在北美谁都知道,slanting eyes是对那些忍气吞声,别人骂了只能斜斜眼表示愤怒的亚洲人,(包括中国,印度,韩国,越南等地)的蔑称, 没想到, Andre Boisclair竟把它拿到演讲会上, 你们听了有何感想?或有何动作? 亦或只是斜眼说一句, "我们管不了那么多, 只要有华人参选的党就是我们支持的党" |
