Thanks for ignoring all nuance and intent, and taking a complicated issue with many different large groups of human beings, and boiling it down to one simple divisive segregational perspective that allows no nuanced understanding or solution.
There's more than one issue at play here. I'm not, and would never be defending the racist asshole's in their actions. Unfortunately it's a reality that many human-beings suck. I'm trying to address the issues that have been exacerbating this activity.
Rather, I had no assumption that the racism was coming exclusively from white people in the first place, so I'm finding your emphasis weird.
Keep in mind the issue is of different informational, cultural, and political manifolds interacting. My statement wasn't to "blame". Chinese Canadians, but to encourage a system that both deals with the very real trouble with the CCP, and encouraging an open dialogue that emphasises the separation of the real issue from race. This is to solve underlying problems, and to remove the excuses and ignorance of the bad actors.
This dialogue is currently discouraged due to a pro CCP ideology that's so strong that the CCP are able to police communities within our country. This is why my emphasis, and call for better government solutions to allow anonymous defense for Chinese Canadians against CCP police, and encourage removal of the CCP from our country, regardless of how many actually support the CCP.
Especially if things are happening like the CCP threatening or holding family members that are still in China. If this issue isn't addressed, I don't see it improving.
I also emphasized that the foreign investor problem is one of government regulation, so no victim blaming there either.
Do you have a better solution to the actual problem? Or are you just going to ignore all of that and continue trying to instigate a race war?
Jesus fucking Christ, you've got "CCP"^1^ Tourette's!
And you're still saying that the victims of aggression need to do things to mollify the perpetrators. Holy fucking SHIT has Canada degraded since I left.
Either that or looking at it from outside has opened my eyes to realities that were always there: Canada's shit stinks like anybody else's. It just likes to pretend that it comes out roses.
^1^ No such thing.
ok. you don't want to talk. you just want to be another asshole who lives and dies by strawman and red herring. you seem upset by the focus on criticizing the CCP. i think criticising the CCP is very important, which is why the emphasis. do you by chance support this fascist political institution?
i get the feeling you won't answer that question. strawman life and such.
The "CCP" doesn't exist. The CPC is a festering pile of filth headed by a sociopath.
That said, living here in China I have less interaction with the CPC than you're suggesting all Chinese-descended people in Canada have. Which is so risible on the face of it that you can safely be dismissed as an alarmist twat trying to excuse your racist demand for loud loyalty proclamations from Chinese victims of racist aggression instead of, you know, hunting down the violent shitheads who commit the acts.
As the son of (German) immigrants, friends to immigrants of many nations (including Ukraine, Russia, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, China, ...) it has always amused me when white, North American assholes on the one hand treat each and every (visible) immigrant group with hostility and make demands for shows of loyalty, and then proceed to wonder why said immigrants show little loyalty to their new neighbours. Could the fact that dumb assholes like you who insist (visible) immigrants need to prove their loyalty to you personally are the reason that such immigrants tend to hang out in their own circles and treat dumb white fucks with hostility and suspicion?
Nah. It's the "CCP".
You utter berk.
hey at least i got you to call them shit. so you are denying they have any interaction and influence in canada, and fuss over the name. CCP is commonly accepted.
i also didn't claim that chinese people in canada are all connected to the CCP. i did say that there should be more open dialogues stating that clearly for the dunderheads that can't grasp that fact. oh wait, that's "victim blaming" while instead i should be just trying to inflate into a race-war?
friend i think you just racist, and use that as an excuse to not partake in actual conversation. or you just really really want people to fight each-other because of their race. you ignored my comparison to russians, made up more strawmen, and then made blanket statements about an entire race of people as if they're some amalgamate whole.
something i haven't done.
you could have just said "i don't think there's as much influencing from the CCP as you are lead to believe."
but that would almost be a conversation.
you sad angry person. good luck with that.
