I believe that gentleman was not angry about being disclosed as Asian. He was angry about being disclosed his privacy without his permission or even being informed.
Respecting privacy is a very important culture in western society and workplace. In my company, all employee be asked to nominate someone as "best employee of the year" annually. It is a very nice thing to nominate someone. However, we must get the nominee's signature to indicate that he or she knows and agrees with the nomination before we submit the nomination form to the human resource. The author has being in Canada 15 years. He or she should understand this culture. It is very bad to violate anyone's privacy no matter how good your intentions are. If the gentleman is really bad, he could launch a lawsuit
Even in Chinese culture, It is more courteous and making people feel be respected if the author can ask other's permission first.
此后观察到此君除非工作需要，否则绝不公司里华人或者亚裔往来。-In western company, people are not focus on personal relationship. Business is business.
也许他年少时收到了歧视性对待，也许他有难言的苦衷-Maybe he just doesn't interest in this association.
肤色不代表一切，但也没有必要去否认。希望他在未来漫长的岁月里，能够欣然接受这个事实。你认同了自己，别人才会认同你。- Refusing to join the association doesn't mean refusing the fact that he is an Asian. I never attend any Chinese association, but I am proud to be a Chinese and have lots of Chinese friends.
it is so true knowing who you really are is the very first step to earn respect. it is such a low life behaviour to look down at your own people.
united we stand stronger or unity is power. it is so true. As a vulnerable minority in Canada and in an enivrionment viciously against Chinese government and Chinese in general, we all should support and respect each other as one big family. the Jewish community has good lessons for us.
