They have not released it. Only focus groups saw it.
True. But then again if the image was not positive, the same people would be all over it. Of course, the only real way to solve this pollitical correctness dilema is no not show the face at all like this guy:

No, the politically correct thing to do would be to show any human being's face so long as it could be reasonably assumed that human being is a citizen of this country.
And in this day and age that could be pretty much anyone, unless it is clearly determined that party lives in another country... or.. galaxy.
LOL i had the mental image of a french quebec person,and from what Canada can see,we got sh*tloads of idiots there. :lol:
well for one, not putting an asian on a yellow bank note... lol. If their focus group was left asking what they were thinking, then chances are the nation would be asking that even moreso.
I'm not noticing any of these racial undertones, and neither is my hot asian wife.
Though she did laugh at the politically incorrect usage of "asian".

Asian could include India and Pakistan as well as China, Japan, etc...
It's just that most Westerners (which could also be seen as a politically incorrect term, lol) think it's only the latter. Either way, I don't think anyone's really offended unless you start calling us Americans.
How do you make the assumption it wasn't wasn't an Indian or Pakistanian? The only indication I got was that their was a remark about the 'yellow' colour of the bill.
I think it's probably fear of stereotyping. You know how politically correct the Canadian govt. is.
