(ECNS) – A Canadian professor has called Vancouver's plan to apologize for racist policies "a move to manipulate 'white guilt'", which has been refuted by local counselor Kerry Jang, the Canada-based Sing Tao Daily reported.

Vancouver's council in May set a motion to conduct research on its records to determine whether there were racist laws or regulations that would have hurt ethnic groups and consider making an apology for the laws that discriminated against people of Chinese descent and other ethnic groups.

Ricardo Duchesne, of the University of New Brunswick, also said in his blog posts and e-mails that Kerry Jang, a Chinese-Canadian who supported the motion, was "exploiting white ideas to advance the ethnic interests of the Chinese, utilizing the same white guilt our educational institutions inflict on white children."

"It is time whites show respect for themselves and stop kowtowing to the Chinese," Duchesne wrote.

Jang, a third-generation Canadian, said Duchesne's remark was racist. "When the professor starts talking about how I should be worrying about what they're doing in China, I think I'm Canadian. I'm expected to be treated like anyone else," he said.

Jang has written the university's President H.E.A. Campbell about Duchesne's remarks, saying Duchesne abused the privilege of academic freedom.
