BC省报纸 The Province在今日纸质报纸头条, 刊登了报道BC 出现第二例冠状病毒的案例的新闻. 但其标题极具歧视性色彩, 不使用媒体统一使用的Coronavirus, 而是直呼该病毒为China Virus.
在澳洲报纸歧视性报道后, 就估计这种事情迟早要来. 在疫情后华人内部各种争吵与混乱也大爆发, 但现在希望各位能一致对外了. 无论以什么样的理由和借口, 这种针对某个国家和民族的歧视性报道是不能够被容许了. 这才是应当反击的与站出来的时候.
有人已经写好了邮件模板, 希望感到冒犯的朋友提出抗议. 发信地址为:

内容如下, 英语好的朋友可以自行修改.
Dear Editors at the Province Newspaper,
On the front page of your paper today, you use huge block letter of CHINA VIRUS. This is very insensitive and plainly not proper headline. WHO, Canadian and Provincial authorities are all referring this virus as novel coronavirus, so there is an official name to this virus that you should be using. H1N1 influenza virus was first found in the United States, and we never refer to the virus as American or US virus; Zika virus was first found in Brazil, and we never call it Brazilian virus; Ebola virus originated from Congo, and we never say it is Congo virus. Your choice of words calling it China virus is simply wrong and not in accordance with Canadian values, not up to Canadian journalism ethic standard.
I strongly urge you to withdraw such words, stop calling the novel coronavirus China virus, and make an apology for this insensitive choice of words.
在请愿网站change.org上也已经有了抗议的申请, 澳洲的歧视报道已经超过了七万条, 请大家再接再厉.

也请各位通过 Facebook, Twitter等社交媒体, 来进行评论与抗议. 如果您有更加强力的渠道, 也请为了自己的生活, 下一代在加拿大的环境, 来反击这种歧视与排挤的思潮与舆论.
有人可能会说, 这些有什么用? 人家就是不说心里可能也这么想. 我觉得, 只敢想不敢说, 就是非常重要的区别. 如果让媒体肆意报道而毫无代价, 那么下一步, 别人就会在生活里肆无忌惮的排挤与欺压亚裔面孔. 这种教育已经很深刻了. 为了自己在这里能够更好的生活, 也为了下一代在这里能够有一个更为公平的环境, 请大家团结一次, 谢谢你们!
