You Stupid! Go home! Go to China! You go China!!! You Garbagee! You stupid… go home China! Go to China! No, these weren’t words tossed from a racist towards an Asian, but words from two Chinese women screaming at each other on the metro Vancouver’s rapid transit train (Skytrain). We had thought it was the usual Taiwanese v/s Cantonese v/s ...
One of our readers, Peter Liem of New York, shared this letter with us today. Mr Liem had written this to Macleans magazine, and kindly permitted us to post it here. Here is his letter: The enrollment controversy (Maclean’s Nov 9 issue) November 29, 2010 Dear Editor, Whether or not Maclean’s intended it, Findlay and Köhler’s article portrays “Asian” students in ...
Too much heavy Macleaning of late, you know That silly Canadian news magazine whose recent article employed hints of ‘us‘ vs ‘not like us‘ to help booster their sagging readership? Well, Macleans, subsidary of Rogers Communications Inc. (NYSE:RCI) (Toronto:RCI.NV.B) … be careful of what you wish for. A sort of distancing is starting to occur from the ...
Why Macleans and racism should no longer define Canada Publish Date: November 16, 2010 By Henry Yu Thirty years after CTV aired its infamous W5 program “Campus Giveaway”—insinuating that Canadian universities had too many “Asians” and therefore too many “foreigners”—Macleans magazine has cynically used racial stereotypes to invent a nonissue. In its annual university rankings issue last week, ...
“The idea that if you’re not white, you’re not Canadian, or in some way, you’re less Canadian, is racist, divisive and deplorable.” (4:55) – Stephen Lewis in An Audio-Visual Analysis of W5 – “Campus Giveaway” Friends of the UGLY Chinese Canadian says “FUCK You! And thanks for nothing Maclean’s and Toronto Star. Thanks for pretending to ...
Chinese “languages“? No. It’s actually, Chinese dialects. But to the outside observer, it may as well be complete different languages, as the sounds, intonations and even colloquialisms are so far and different from one another. Cantonese v/s Mandarin v/s Toishanese v/s other dialects. It seems that the Cantonese are perhaps, a bit more stubborn than are some other ...

A nice spot had been made welcome for us on the decorated vehicle, with a banner and all! Yes. We’re proud to be a part of the supporting ...
Ms Chen eyes at her white colleague and applies for a job at the city of Vancouver. Chen smiles and says, Even though I’m less qualified, I’ve a better chance than you at getting the job. Unfortunately, this scenario plays out over and over again in our politically-correct-gone-wild state of affairs in North America. We don’t think any of ...
Story out of the Globe and Mail this week, about wealthy Chinese participating in real estate tours to purchase Canadian properties. Looks like déja vu all over again. Canada for Sale! Hongcouver 香哥華 Remember “Hongcouver” (earlier posting here), when the Hong Kong Chinese were snapping up real estate in Vancouver in anticipation of the fear that was ...
We’ve often wondered why Canada has been cursed with a parade of lack lustre politicians from our Chinese-Canadian community. Especially at the federal level. Think of the hapless CCs who’ve made you squirm in your sofa whenever they opened their mouths on TV. No. It’s not nice nor fair to poke fun at their English as ...
Interesting incident shared with us today. We met Allan Williams, and his family this morning. Allan and his spouse are aboriginal Canadians, he’s originally from Alert Bay, and his spouse from Vancouver Island. Earlier this year, Allan was at a bank located in east Vancouver, where he observed a commotion. Allan watched the incident where an elderly ...
old garage building facing Chinatown’s Pender Street The UGLY Chinese Canadian blog received a number of comments regarding Chinatown’s mascot. The mascot, suggested by their BIA (Business Improvement Association), is their latest brain child in their long and unsuccessful series of efforts to save Chinatown. A number of the comments received, can not be published. Not only ...
