The white majority controls,
as we know, all the ’ important
channels in our country from big Q
business to the arts. In down
town Vancouver, the odd Orien4$ tai sales clerk can now be seen, ®
riding on the coat-tails of black
modishness and new Hong Kong
money. But in this second lar
gest Chinese community in No

there are no. Chinese TV prog

artists,
writers or musicians to

A not- unintelligent business.
! ■ man from Japan once asked a
group of us why we didn’t run
for politics. It was evident he
“either didn’t know, or take into _
account; that politicians from etpartisan areas which nearly al-.
ways have a large percentage of
own
people from his or her
background. As I understood it,
he thought that as Canadians
we had the same chance as any-;
-body-else to win.
Well we don’t, and I
think
too many Japanese people show
0 this kind of naive, challenging a- ,
ttitude toward their own. I fear
we have - taken the admonition to
• ‘assimilate’ to heart, and feel gulity if‘we - draw notice in lifting
a finger to help, each other now.
There is a corruption of thek be
lief in individuality, , which be
comes an expectation that peo
ple should manage achievements '
on their own; innate
ability
should be the only criterion. The
re’s a fear of reaching out, ex

Beamsville. Ontario
The white majority controls,
as we know, all the ’ important
channels in our country from big Q
business to the arts. In down
town Vancouver, the odd Orien4$ tai sales clerk can now be seen, ®
riding on the coat-tails of black
modishness and new Hong Kong
money. But in this second lar
gest Chinese community in No
rth America of 37,000 people
there are no. Chinese TV prog
rams locally. Nor bus drivers,
; policemen, commercial
artists,
writers or musicians to
speak
■of
A not- unintelligent business.
! ■ man from Japan once asked a
group of us why we didn’t run
for politics. It was evident he
“either didn’t know, or take into _
account; that politicians from etpartisan areas which nearly al-.
ways have a large percentage of
own
people from his or her
background. As I understood it,
he thought that as Canadians
we had the same chance as any-;
-body-else to win.
Well we don’t, and I
think
too many Japanese people show
0 this kind of naive, challenging a- ,
ttitude toward their own. I fear
we have - taken the admonition to
• ‘assimilate’ to heart, and feel gulity if‘we - draw notice in lifting
a finger to help, each other now.
There is a corruption of thek be
lief in individuality, , which be
comes an expectation that peo
ple should manage achievements '
on their own; innate
ability
should be the only criterion. The

PREJUDICE, WHY?

From early childhood till now. r
I receive prejudice from all walks of life.
Ranging from Friends, Fellow Students, Adults and many
' more.
.
Oh yes!
I must uot forget my FAVOURITE of them all,
. THE BIGOT.
There is no Tunning away from it.
It’s become a part of me, Till the day _I die.
The stares, the looks, the questions,
At times become unbearable.
I almost want to break down and cry.
But I must be brave to this challenge
And shed not a single tear. ;
But the kind that really hurts me,
_
Is being called a “JAP”.
If you ask me_ what it’s like,
~
I’ll tell you.
i
It’s like having a handicap of some kind,
Where people like YOU,
Regard ME as some kind of freak found at some circus.
While the rest of YOU,
Regard ME as a piece of trash
Or a lazy good for nothing.
I guess' people will never change their views on Prejudice
But, OH!
What a world this is today,
And forever will be,
Full of those like the Great American, Archie Bunker*
