Well let's be honest, how many times do Chinese Canadians protest or rally or anything? Common just think hard here.
Ya fucking zero. They work hard, they don't complain, I think the last time I actually seen a real "rally" was for that Chinese shop keeper who tied up an asshat thief who was about to get the book thrown at him.
So it surprises me to see a protest. But I think they want an apology for slander
The lack of political backlash from the Chinese community is exactly why they are seen as punching bags in Canada and the US.
Political apathy in the Chinese community is very real - many don't like to become engaged in politics. The Chinese Canadian political leaders are mostly ineffectual or unknown.
The Indian community has been much better at mobilizing themselves and obtaining political positions as seem with the number of Indian Liberal cabinet ministers.
Exactly, there are a few Chinese MPs but none of them have the balls to call this girl or the PM out.
Have you ever been to China? They are incredibly racist. racist against outsiders. Racist against mainlanders, Taiwanese. There’s Singaporean racism. Racist against different castes.
Pretty much everywhere is super racist against other races and cultures and groups except for Canada US NZ Aus EU. We’re all still racist just not as bad as most others.
South Africa? Super racist Japan? Pretty racist but getting better. Now other races are sometimes being used as mascots. Middle East? Ya that’s racist
Chinese ppl are racist to dark skinned races, not white people. They forking love white ppl in China.
While I understand that this could be a problem, was it at all during this incident? I didn't see a single person start blaming the Chinese community for this or implying that Chinese people are particularly islamophobic. I only saw "Chinese" mentioned in the original article and didn't seem to be a part of any of the commentary.
The event appears to have been organized by an anti-Muslim group called Rise Canada, whose leader is Ron Banerjee, a guy known for saying that dead Muslims are a good thing (he also doesn't lose sleep over dead Sikhs).
In which case, it's not really "the Chinese community" protesting, it's "Chinese people who are involved with a multi-ethnic anti-Muslim group" protesting. They can only claim to speak for people of their nasty political ideology, not for the Chinese-Canadian community at large.
this a completely justified rally that should have had support from the media...
As a Muslim, I'm with them on this one. Lying and pointing the finger aimlessly is such a low blow not to mention a criminal act.
Okay, but after that nonsense hoax happened, did anyone try to pin this somehow on the Asian or the Chinese as a collective people to blame? Did anyone go "yep those Chinese are sure up to no good" ?
There is of course the matter of the Chinese government persecuting Muslims in some Chinese provinces, but this is not related here and it's just too detached from Canada. So people didn't make any assumptions here based on that.
It seems to me that the lie just involved a random description of someone who has been randomly described as "Asian". If that's the case, and no one reacted as if Asians or the Chinese are to blame, why react to this issue in this manner, as if someone was making a deliberate attack on Chinese people as a whole?
Try reporting this CBC. You only report when it's white folks protesting you bunch of twats.
If she had said it was a white guy, it would have been more believable. Especially if he was from Quebec.
considering the crackdown on islam that is happening in china right now you know these protests are being directed from beijing.
fuck muslims fuck whites
Who has more oppression points, Chinese or Muslims? I have to know which side to support.
WTF??? I love Chinese now!
Okay China, you're one of the most racist countries out there. Get off of the stage.
Not that I trust the source, ofc. But China is well-known for it's maltreatment of foreigners of any kind.
