博客訪問：

我們也是加拿大華人，我們不是極端右翼！

(2018-02-19 18:45:45) 下一個

加拿大不久前發生的一個穆斯林女孩謊稱有人要剪她的頭巾的事件在北美華人社區引發了不小的爭議，極度地分裂了華人社區。前段時間沸沸揚揚的華人抗議“頭巾事件”要求總理道歉事件近來又有了新的進展。

加拿大英文主流媒體CBC（加拿大廣播）也報道了華人到加拿大首都渥太華國會前抗議，要求總理道歉的事件。

在經曆了兩波抗議活動沒有收到效果後，二月十八日，中國新年大年初三，近百華人民眾到加拿大首都渥太華國會前繼續抗議。此次有兩個加拿大著名的極端右翼及反移民組織Storm Alliance和La Meute前去聲援此次抗爭。而加拿大主流媒體如加拿大國家廣播（CBC) 和渥太華公民報（Ottawa Citizens）都對此事進行了報道，並且把“加拿大華人”和極端右翼組織放在了一個標題框及新聞內。

華人發推文對英文媒體將華人要求總理道歉的事件與極右翼組織相連不滿。

鑒於目前事態的發展，許多不認同此次抗爭活動的華人感到了嚴重性。加拿大東部和西部的一些華裔青年組成了華裔多元文化觀察小組表達了華人社區內部就“頭巾事件”不同的想法，並與中英文媒體取得聯係。以下是他們的中文版聲明：

背景：近日一些華人就“頭巾事件”組織起了幾次抗議活動，並且在2月18日的係列活動與極右翼和反移民組織如Storm Alliance和La Meute等一起抗議。多家媒體報道了“加拿大華人”與極右翼團體一起要求總理道歉的新聞，本小組一直關注此事，並且希望發表以下聲明：

1）本小組尊重所有人的言論自由和街頭抗議的基本權利。但不支持這一係列抗議活動的立場，原因有二。其一，未成年撒謊是錯誤的，但是家長已經道歉。事情應該就此結束。其二，加拿大總理以及兩大反對黨黨領（包括保守黨和新民主黨）最初的譴責推特是針對暴力行為本身而非亞裔。整個抗議的立論基礎過於牽強。

2）此次參與所謂頭巾抗議活動的華人隻能代表他們個人的行為，對整個華人社區和亞裔社區不具有代表性。本小組的成員多數為加拿大第一代華人移民，作為加拿大華人我們不願意把自己熱愛的社區與任何極端政治組織（包括白人至上組織，反移民組織和宗教極端恐怖主義）聯係在一起。我們同時也相信全加拿大近200萬華裔公民和永久居民中，也有很多人與我們的想法接近。

3）根據我們的初步了解，參與者多為華裔第一代移民中的中老年人士。他們由於語言和文化障礙等因素，長期對加拿大社會新聞不能有全麵，客觀，綜合的認知。他們得到的很多信息是有翻譯錯誤和內容殘缺的。一些人可能是被個別人士愚弄，煽動參與所謂的抗議活動。希望社會關注新移民融入加拿大的信息渠道障礙和文化衝擊等問題。

4）希望加拿大各族裔加強溝通。我們彼此都可能有偏見和意識形態上差別，但族群與族群之間最基本的尊重是加拿大的核心價值。我們相信溝通可以消弭矛盾。

真摯地，

加拿大華裔多元文化關注小組 (Chinese Canadian Multicultural Concerns Group) 一群普通的加拿大華人。

Background: Recently, there were several rallies organized by some Chinese Canadians demanding Prime Minister Trudeau to apologize for the Hijab-Hoax incident happened in January 2018. On February 18th, another rally held by the same people took place in Ottawa was joined by Far-rights groups including Storm Alliance and La Meute. Some media outlets covered the story and put “Chinese Canadians” and “far rights” into the same “headlines”. Our group has been following the situation for over a month. As ordinary Chinese Canadians and as a group, we would like to make the following statements:

1. We respect every individual’s basic rights of freedom of speech and assembly. However, we disagree with the position the rally organizers have been taking for two reasons. First, it was wrong for the under-age girl to lie but the parents apologized later. The situation should’ve ended there. Secondly, the original tweets from Prime Minister Trudeau and leaders of the two major opposition parties (both the Conservative Party and the NDP) were denouncing the purported extreme act of hijab attack not the Asian population. In short, the theoretical foundation of demanding the Prime Minister to apologize is too far-fetched.

2. The organizers and participants of the rallies can only represent their own positions. They have no representation of the Chinese and Asian communities in Canada. Our group also consists many first-generation Chinese immigrants. As Chinese Canadians, we don’t want to have any relationship with any extreme political groups including groups related to white supremacy, anti-immigration and religious terrorism. We also don’t pretend to represent all Chinese Canadians, but we believe many of the nearly 2 million ethnic Chinese citizens and permanent residents of Canada have similar views with us.

3. According to our knowledge, many of the rally participants are first-generation middle-age or senior Chinese immigrants. Due to both language and cultural barriers, they are unable to get relatively complete and objective Canadian news. They get information from some of the Chinese language media outlets with translation mistakes and twisted stories. Therefore it is possible that some of them were manipulated by others to participate the rallies without understanding the full situation. We hope the whole society pay more attention to the problem of the difficulties for new immigrants to integrate into our society and overcome cultural shocks.

4. We hope to see more interactions between different cultural and ethnic communities in Canada. People always have ideological differences and even stereotypes. However, respect each other’s existence is one of the most fundamental Canadian values. We believe in "communication over friction."

Sincerely,

Chinese Canadian Multicultural Concerns Group - a group of ordinary Chinese Canadians
