"The re-drawn $100 bill is shown above, showing a woman with more Caucasian features. The original image intended for the reverse of the new $100 plastic polymer banknotes, which began circulating last November, showed an Asian-looking woman scientist peering into a microscope."

I got a better idea, just use a Robotic arm that handles all the testtubes.

*Points a finger* at Rob Anders, I know it was you.

What happened to have fuzzy/feathery creatures from north of the 49th? How can anyone find those offensive?

I wonder about our country sometimes.

Surprise surprise

The Toronto groups were positive about the image of an Asian woman because "it is seen to represent diversity or multiculturalism."

In Quebec, however, "the inclusion of an Asian without representing any other ethnicities was seen to be contentious."

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.

Soo the bank note wasnt racial, the focus groups were just racist.

i never even noticed tell you the truth

Who the fuck cares? I mean... really... do people have nothing better to worry about than whether a figure on the bill appears to be asian or not. I'm white and I couldn't give two shits; we're a multicultural country... deal with it.

tell you the truth i was more excited about the clear window and how it smelled like maple syrup.

I can actually say i have never really looked at our money, only the color and to see if its all facing the same direction.

Someone must stand up for all female Asian microscope operators! Their voices must be heard!

Why a woman? The person should show ambiguous features of both men and women. F@#k it, just use matchstick figures.

Maybe the original depiction was of a Thai transgender. Now we'll just have to settle with a regular, nondescript transgender.

They're scented?!?!

I imagine that wouldn't last long before they smell like ass from being in everyone's back pocket.

[guessboi]

Big deal...is just a bill...
damn thinking about it I don't even use cash 95% of the time.

[theken]

I have never had a new $100 and probably never will, so I gives 0 fucks

[BokCh0y]

i actually didn't even notice...serious, what a waste to have to edit the new bill because of the "asian features".

[Maybelater]

She doesn't look very Asian to me...

[BMW Power]

This is news? Must be a slow days for CBC.

After hearing about this, I have tried, but failed to see this Asian woman on the new $100 bills. Is there a good picture showing this? Or is she "Asian" by virtue of the colour of the bill?

It'd be better if it showed an asian women who backed her car into a tree. That's a design we could be proud of... a real celebration of our multi-culturalism.
