Seriously what’s with the racist focus on chinese?
Look at East richmond, Abbotsford, surrey, etc, it’s all owned by Indians. Hell half the developers and a lot of the construction workers are indian. Most of the farmland and farmland mansions are indian. They are out there driving Ferrari’s and lambos too. Just cause they vote NDP and Chinese voted liberal they get ignored. Notice that the government won’t bring in Uber as they will lose the indian vote as Indians own all the taxis. I would not be surprised if Indians had more money in real estate here than Chinese.
Same goes for middle eastern people, there in west van with mega mansions and luxury cars.
There’s been a huge racist focus on chinese when they only make up a small part of wealthy immigrants. Hell most of the chinese here hate the new chinese immigrants that show off their wealth. Many of the Chinese in vancouver are actually British who immigranted from Hong Kong before China tookover. I don’t blame all white people for Paris Hilton so don’t blame all chinese for that dumbass kid with the N sticker on their lambo.
The racism here makes me sick. Hell we’ve been buying vacation real estate or showing off our wealth in poor nations where people are starving like Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, etc but the minute we’re given the same treatment as we give others it’s now wrong? We’re a city of hypocrites.
Most of the Chinese here worked 2x harder than your ancestors for what they have despite attempts to discriminate against them bad laws set in place to bar them from owing land.

But by 1884, Roy continued, the arrival of thousands of Chinese workers building the Canadian Pacific Railway led to a growing anti-Chinese sentiment among the white ruling class. In turn, the provincial government enacted legislation denying Chinese people the right to buy, lease, or preempt Crown lands.
“White people could acquire land from the government at little or no cost,” Roy said. “Chinese people could not acquire land directly from the government…However, they could buy land from private owners.”
A two-tier system was set in law, and those rules remained in effect until after the Second World War.
“The Chinese were discriminated at every turn,” Roy concluded.

So if the Chinese here are doing better than you all I can say is your family needs to get off its fat lazy ass. History has given white people so many advantages but all they do is bitch instead of work. If you look on the street almost all the homeless are not chinese or indian because foreign cultures emphasize work and saving while Canadian culture is all about drugs, parties, constant vacations, and living life. Maybe instead of taking those vacations you should have saved up the down payment for a home. Maybe your parents should have bought a home when it was $100,000 like most people. (PS I’m not chinese, I was born here and I’m disgusted with how many people with no money smoke weed and bitch instead of working. You never see white people work more than 8 hours or cash in their vacation)
I’ll probably edit this tmr to make it less inflammatory. But for now I’m just going to emphasize my disgust with my own race and citizenship. We’ve become a fat lazy nation with high obesity and low work ethic. There’s a reason most of science and Business at ubc/SFU is 99% chinese or indian. And there’s a reason why no job programs like psych are filled with white people. White people have had so many advantages and should be conquering the world not whining about how we can’t compete with foreigners.
