:-( Vancouver B.C. is very racist?

Question

Is Vancouver B.C. racist? I'm from the States, I was visiting Vancouver last summer and I was having such a good time until I was talking to one of the locals on Stanley Island in Downtown Vancouver. The man was white about 30 years old, he said I could visit and spend my money but for Gods sake I shouldn't even think about staying because Canada was already getting over-run by too many asians as it is. :-( I am Filipino and he still called me a "Chink" as if I were Chinese but I'm not.

Do you Canadians agree with him? Do you support what he said to me? Was it OK for him to do? I told him he was being a jerk and he said I should **** off and to stop breeding more yellow babies.

All in all, is Vancouver B.C. a racist City or what? If it's racist, why is it so racist? How did it get to be so racist?

I was so ashamed and embarrased when this happened and some bystanders were starring at me.

In response to Robert. Robert, you are a Racist. No if ands or buts about it. It must of been ingrained in you from your very own racist parents. Like father like son. Racism is passed down from the parents to the kids. What's funny is that Roberts a white Canadian and he is either an immigrant himself or he is a decendent of an immigrant. The only people who aren't immigrants in North America are the First Nations. It was the whites who showed up and slaughtered all the First Nations after they gave the white colonists food so they wouldn't starve to death on their first winter. Nice way to repay them ey. But in the end, justice will be served and the Racists will go straight to hell.

Answer 1

I'm from Ontario and I will tell you something ... you will always be able to find a racist person anywhere you go. I've acrtually heard Quebec is the most racist province. But anywho, please don't take it to heart. Some people are jerks. A friend of mine and I used to work at the same grocery store.. she is half Lebenese and one girl that went through her cash one day said to her that people like her shouldn't be able to work "our" jobs and that they're taking our jobs away from us! She ran off crying.. I wish I was there that day I woulda told that beotch off!!

So, all in all you will find racist people all over. I do hope you don't take that jerk's comments too hard and do come back and visit. Having different cultures and races I think is a very important thing.

I believe Robert R is nothing more than a Troll who has no life and is just simply starving for attention. Please don't Feed the Troll.

As for Racism in Vancouver. There will be racism everywhere you go. In my experience the Whites are the most racist of them all. No other race group is so organized with their hatred. The KKK for example. Not to mention all the Skin Heads and all the Neo-Nazis that are the rubbish of the Earth. You don't see the yellow, brown, or black race exibiting this same type of behavior.

Also don't forget about Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Musolini and so on and so on. The guy who bombed Oklahoma City and killed hundreds of civilians was a white man. So was the Uni-bomber. Also the 3 boys who went on a shooting sprea in Columbine High School were also white.

But you don't here about those people very often. The Media in the United States just wants to make Minorities look bad.

I don't think you are using the correct term. As Jeff Foxworthy likes to describe it, a redneck is a person with a "glorious absence of sophistication". What you described sounds more like a group of skinheads. Generally, they shave their heads or have really short cropped hair where you see the scalp, and they wear clothing that may have studs or profanity written on it. Depending on the neighbourhood you are walking through, these people may simply ignore you, look at you with disdain, call you names to try and **** you off and see if you are interested in a fight, or may even attack without warning just because you are wearing the wrong colour shirt or jacket. Not all cities are like that, but there are certainly that type of youth or young adults in many of the larger cities. This is true all over North America, not just Vancouver. It sounds like you did the right thing. You basically ignore them and continue walking. See if it was a redneck, they probably would have offered to give you a lift to wherever you were going, as long as you didn't mind helping push their pickup truck until the clutch caught and the engine started.

Answer 4

I am from Vancouver, and I don't know a single racist person. We are a very multicultural city, and very tolerant of all races/religions. I remember being taught in school from a very early age about racism, and how it hurts.
I have overheard people on the bus make racist remarks occasionally when the bus is crowded and the majority of passengers are Asian, but that is the only incident I can think of. I'm sorry you had that experience here.

Don't you think "Stop breeding yellow babies" is a racist remark?

With its mountain backdrop and metropolitan beaches, Vancouver gets the rightly attained trustworthiness of being one of the most beautiful cities on earth, with hotelbye you can have the opportunity to see this unique city. One of many areas you'll need to see in Vancouver is the Downtown Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver is wonderfully found on a peninsula in the Strait of Georgia bounded to the south by the delta of the Fraser River and to the north by way of a strong fiord achieving far inland. Here you may also begin to see the frequently snow-covered ranges of the Coast Mountains. Stanley Park is one of the most visited parks. Is really a lavish Peninsula Park of huge woods adjoining to Downtown Vancouver. A flat seawall way encircles the green space, and most guests take the time to explore on base or by bicycle. Inland, the park presents several things to do, and visitors may spend a full day discovering attractions which range from the totem rods at Brockton Point to the west shore sea living at the Vancouver Aquarium. Magnificent views really are a standard through the entire park.

I work in terminal 7 in JFK airport which has Cathay Pacific to Vancouver. My impression of the passengers who travel there is they are in fact quite racist, white and asian alike. It is almost like a culture for them to be racist as a form of acceptance or something, a characteristic I found common on the west coast. They remind me of California where I used to live and which is one of the most racist states I have ever been to.

Answer 7

From my experiences (traveled their over 10 times), Vancouver is not a racist city at all. Sadly, in every city there is going to be racists.

I'm very sorry you had such a bad experience in such a nice city.

Answer 8

Being a true Canadian I can only say there are jerks all over the world and unfortunately you met a real one and during your visit here.

No, we are not all like him and people in Canada should never be labeled or blamed for one person opinion.
