Is there more to the Richmond racist graffiti?
Yesterday, we received an email from Adrian MacNair, a blogger colleague, whom we had communicated with a few years earlier. Adrian writes the blog Unambiguously Ambidextrous. Back in 2007, Adrian had shared some thoughts on another blogger colleague’s site “Chinese in Vancouver“. Mr MacNair had written about what bothered him regarding the insular nature of the Chinese...

Chinatown hates DTES… the feeling is mutual
The UGLY Chinese Canadian’s long time friend, Sid Tan, shared his frustration at the lack of leadership in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Architect David Wong agrees.

Vancouver’s Chinese wingnuts initiate mudslinging (part 1)
Last month a nice little gathering was planned in our swell little Chinatown. It was a gathering of some of the community’s finest collection of photo op seekers – all hoping to cash in on the opportunity presented with the Olympics!

And it’s true. “Canada’s 2010 Olympic pavilion is illegal, and has contravened the province’s Architect’s Act”, according to the Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC). To paraphrase, “It (the tent-like...
