This thesis is a study of how Tamil people have been stigmatized in Canadian newspapers and its effects on Tamil youth. This research focuses on two key periods o f newspaper coverage for the Tamil diaspora in Canada: protests in Toronto during May 2009 and the landing of the MV Sim Sea in August 2010. Tamil activists and migrants were frequendy conflated with Tamil Tiger terrorists and were framed as “bad immigrants” in contrast with “good immigrants” or “law-abiding citizens”; these attributes were often applied to the majority of the Tamil diaspora. Expanding moral panic theory, this study contributes the element o f legacy as a key in establishing modem moral panic, with an emphasis on its lasting effects. In particular, this is the proposal of Bill C-4 (later Bill C-49) and double consciousness evident in discussions with Tamil youth. These youth explained that they sometimes felt pulled between their Canadian and Tamil identities, judged themselves through the eyes o f others, and profiled other Tamils based on crystallized stereotypes, all o f which were dimensions present in the newspaper coverage.
