"At a press conference, Juanita Nathan, president of the York District Board of Education, issued a warning to some parents.Stop speculating about certain students and families and show "unsymonsmed racism".Toronto City Councilman Huang Huiwen also noted that the status quo reminds her of what happened when SARS broke out in 2003:"People of Chinese descent are shunned from school, harassed on the streets, ridiculed on public transport, and many feel excluded and isolated by the city."
--- Ontario Conservative Party to the Chinese New Year---After a confirmed case from Toronto"Discrimination against The Chinese.""Alsobecame a "virus."”After Toronto's first confirmed case on January 25, the local York DistrictChinese parentsA signed petition was quickly posted online calling on the Department of Education,Students and parents who have recently returned from China are required to report to the school and remain in isolation at home for at least 17 days.
The petition had more than 9,800 signatures as of the morning of January 29. There are many Chinese among them,They are protecting their children and are worried about the spread of the epidemic in Toronto.In response, the York District Board of Education sent a notice to parents on 27 January.In addition to alerting against the disease, another "virus" is also noted”：Anti-Chinese xenophobia.Juanita Nathan, president of the Board of Education, wrote:"We understandChinese familyworries and anxieties are growing. Those who infer that others are at risk are rightthey carried onIsolated people can be seen even for security reasonsPrejudice and racist tendencies。”Letter from the York District Board of Education to parentsIn her letter, she pointed out that although the virus originated in China, we must be careful not to think of it as a Chinese virus, the infected person is not necessarily from China.The virus has appeared in many countries, and at this time we should unite as Canadians to avoid any "xenophobia."”signs, otherwise it may lead to victimization of the Chinese community.We must uphold the shared values of equality and inclusion.The Chinese in Toronto have appearedSimilar to the panic during the SARS outbreakThis will cost the Chinese community dearlyWhile Canadian health officials have stressed that the risk of infection remains low, there has been panic similar to the SARS outbreak in 2003.In a 2004 report on the impact of SARS on the Chinese community in Canada, wu Wei, Director of the Greater Toronto Centre for Legal Aid for Chinese and Southeast Asians, noted thatMany Chinese have lost their jobs because of SARS, such as the decline in restaurant business.Immigration and Refugee Board officials wear masks during hearings for Asian-American complainants, and Chinese tenants are evicted by landlords.图片来源：FRED LUM/THE GLOBE AND MAILTo Wu's disappointment, however, the 2007 Ontario hearing on the SARS crisis found no racial discrimination. She said advice on how to deal with racist rhetoric would help in the event of an outbreak like this.Tony Loui, president of Toronto's Huafu Business Promotion District, had to explain saturday that he had a cold, not a virus, because of a sore throat during the Spring Festival celebrations.The next day, he found that business in Chinatown had faded, including many restaurants, believed to be fearing the virus.He reiterated that communities and food remained safe and called on lawmakers to learn from former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien's practice of dining in Chinese restaurants when SARS broke out in 2003 and show Canadians that it was still safe.Ms. Wu is fully convinced that Canada's health-care system is better able to cope than it was during SARS, but she is not optimistic about how to contain public fears.She said:"Unfortunately, because of the underlying racist attitudes in Canadian society, people still believe what they believe, regardless of the scientific evidence that shows how the disease was contained."Recently, a well-known Chinese writer and educator in Toronto@Carrianne LeungOn Twitter:"When a disease is racialized, you need to know that this everyday racism against people is bad!" The pain and anxiety caused by the SARS outbreak of that year still exists. "The editor-in-chief wants to share a paragraph with you,Words that have recently been widely disseminated in the Chinese community:"Everyone gets sick, don't be isolated by it Chinese and anyone you think is connected to China, let alone discriminate against someone who's sick, because it makes a sick person feel ashamed of being sick and hides his illness and doesn't protect others.We are against the virus, not the Chinese. The more times you are in distress, the more you need to be calm, calm, rational, and united! "
I hope that the vast majority of Chinese people at such a critical junt, do not discriminate against chinese who have just returned from home, no matter where they come from, do not discriminate against the patients around them, no matter what kind of illness they have. Be rational and calm, and work together to overcome difficult times.
