Here are two great rebuttals to the "Too Asian?" article that Maclean's ran in its 2010 University Rankings issue. The first is written by journalist Jeet Heer and it appears in The Walrus, see: Too Brazen. The second was written by a group of young academics at the University of Toronto and appears on rabble.ca, see: Maclean's and The Toronto Star: The Asian invasion of higher education. Both contain excellent analysis of the dynamics at play in the original Maclean's article, the history of discrimination against Asians in Canada, and the implications of the article for the post-secondary education sector and media in Canada. For my thoughts on the entirety of the situation, see my previous blog posts: here and here.
