quote from toronto star:
“Some have concerns that the researcher appears to be Asian,” says a 2009 report commissioned by the bank from The Strategic Counsel, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
“Some believe that it presents a stereotype of Asians excelling in technology and/or the sciences. Others feel that an Asian should not be the only ethnicity represented on the banknotes. Other ethnicities should also be shown.”
A few even said the yellow-brown colour of the $100 banknote reinforced the perception the woman was Asian, and “racialized” the note.
The bank immediately ordered the image redrawn, imposing what a spokesman called a “neutral ethnicity” for the woman scientist who, now stripped of her “Asian” features, appears on the circulating note. Her light features appear to be Caucasian.
“The original image was not designed or intended to be a person of a particular ethnic origin,” bank spokesman Jeremy Harrison said in an interview, citing policy that eschews depictions of ethnic groups on banknotes.
“But obviously when we got into focus groups, there was some thought the image appeared to represent a particular ethnic group, so modifications were made.”
Harrison declined to provide a copy of the original image, produced by a design team led by Jorge Peral of the Canadian Bank Note Co., which was a test design only and never made it into circulation.
Nor would he indicate what specific changes were made to the woman researcher’s image to give her a so-called “neutral ethnicity.” He said the images were “composites” rather than depicting any specific individual.
A spokesperson for the Chinese Canadian National Council slammed the bank on Friday for bending to racism.
“The Bank of Canada apparently took seriously ... racist comments and feedback from the focus groups and withdrew the image,” said May Lui, interim executive director of the group’s Toronto chapter.
“That was upsetting simply because of the history and longevity of Chinese-Canadians in this country.”
Lui demanded the bank “acknowledge their error in caving to the racist feedback.”
Victor Wong, the group’s national executive director, called on the bank to amend its policy of not depicting visible minorities.
“You’re erasing all of us,” he said from Toronto. “Your default then is an image with Caucasian features.”

平全会的XX， 别人说的是亚洲人（至少包括日本人，韩国人，东南亚人），它跳出来，现在变成全体华人同其他族裔的对立。再说这些被询问的focus groups，其中包括平全会在内的各种少数族裔的团体，黑人，印巴，等等。 |
