多伦多：联合国种族主义问题特别报告员在一份报告中批评了将国际学生作为“替罪羊”的做法，以及针对少数族裔的仇恨言论“常态化”现象。
Toronto: A United Nations Special Rapporteur on racism, in a report, has criticised the “scapegoating” of international students and the “normalisation” of hate speech targeting minorities.
这些言论是在联合国当代形式种族主义、种族歧视、仇外心理及相关不宽容问题特别报告员阿什维尼·K·P博士结束对加拿大的访问后发表的一份声明中提出的，访问时间为9月28日至10月9日。她将于2027年7月向人权理事会提交一份基于其调查结果的报告。
These remarks were made in a statement by Dr Ashwini KP, special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. issued after completing visit to Canada between September 28 and October 9.
她说，她听到有报告“涉及将来自南亚的国际学生作为加拿大经济挑战的‘替罪羊’”。
She will submit a report based on her findings before the Human Rights Council in July 2027.
她说，据报告，亚裔学生面临种族主义、仇外敌意和刻板印象，“包括被描绘为住房、就业和公共服务压力的责任人”。
人们提出担忧，称“敌对的政治言论和对锡克教文化习俗的针对性打击，助长了将这些群体描绘为局外人和对加拿大社会构成威胁的形象”。
她指出，特别令人担忧的是有报告称，学生们生活在不稳定的条件下，面临雇主剥削、移民身份不稳定，以及获取保护和救济途径存在障碍。
She said she heard reports “concerning the scapegoating of international students from South Asia, for Canada’s economic challenges”.She said Asian students have reportedly faced racism, xenophobic hostility, and stereotyping, “including being portrayed as responsible for pressures on housing, employment, and public services”.Concerns were raised “about hostile political rhetoric and the targeting of Sikh cultural practices, contributing to the portrayal of these communities as outsiders and threats to Canadian society”.Of particular concern, she noted, were reports that students lived in precarious conditions, facing exploitation by employers, insecure immigration status, and barriers to accessing protection and remedies.
“这种脆弱性可能会因经济依赖、担心失去移民身份以及对劳工权利认知有限而加剧，”她说。
“Such vulnerabilities may be compounded by financial dependence, fear of losing their immigration status and limited awareness of their labour rights,” she said.
在谈及移民的另一个方面时，她说她听到了令人担忧的报告，称“在这个充满挑战的经济和地缘政治关头，加拿大继续保持开放并提供长期安置途径的意愿正在减弱”。
她“对种族主义仇恨言论常态化正在产生现实生活影响并感”深感担忧。
她说，仇恨犯罪仍处于“历史高位”，她收到了关于多种形式骚扰、恐吓和暴力的报告。
Addressing another aspect of immigration, she said she heard concerning reports that “at this challenging economic and geopolitical juncture, Canada’s willingness to continue its openness and provide pathways for longer term resettlement is diminishing”.She was “deeply concerned that the normalisation of racist hate speech is having real-life impacts and feel”.She said hate crimes remained at “historically elevated levels” and she received reports of multiple forms of harassment, intimidation and violence.
她还评论说，认为种姓歧视不影响侨民群体的“误解依然存在”，且这一问题缺乏足够的正式认可。
She also commented on the misconceptions that caste discrimination does not impact the diaspora “persist” and it has lacked adequate formal recognition.
针对这些调查结果，来自“团结温哥华移民学生组织”的 WeiChun Kua 表示：“当政客把我们变成一个需要减少的问题时，这种敌意就会跟随我们进入工作场所、教室和社区。”
“移民权利网络”在一份基于调查结果的声明中表示：“加拿大必须扩大永久居留权的获取途径，而不是实施更多的削减和上限，让人们暴露在剥削、家庭分离和驱逐出境的风险中。”
Reacting to these findings, WeiChun Kua from the Migrant Students United Vancouver said, “When politicians turn us into a problem to be reduced, that hostility follows us into our workplaces, classrooms and neighbourhoods.”“Canada must expand access to permanent residency instead of imposing more cuts and caps that leave people exposed to exploitation, family separation and removal,” Migrant Rights Network said, in a release, based on the findings.
