Where's the outrage over racist treatment of Olivia Chow: Honderich

[CHIMO]

Separatist owner is gone and now we have this -----


This can no longer go unremarked upon or unchallenged.


The incidents of anti-immigrant, anti-female and anti-Chinese invective levelled against Olivia Chow during the mayoral campaign are simply outrageous.


They do not reflect well on a city that prides itself on its diversity and tolerance. But nor can we afford to ignore or fail to condemn such behaviour in the naïve hope it will go away.


The height came just two days before election day when The Toronto Sun ran a cartoon of Olivia Chow that was nothing short of appalling. It depicted her in a Mao suit, with slitty eyes holding up the coattails of her deceased husband Jack Layton.

2. still, the Mao suit

was in BAD taste, and exactly thr wrong message to send to people in place like vancouver where many Canadians of Chinese descent are.

3. Wow.

I hadn't even heard this. People SHOULD be outraged. Disgusting and unacceptable.

4. That is beyond despicable...

even for a rag like the Sun. Paul Godfrey's defense of this appalling racist/sexist toon says all one needs to know about him, utter slimeball, perfectly suited for the garbage his media outlets vomit out.
