Just as Trump would like to say he's "not a racist or anti-immigrant" because his wife is Eastern European, or that he employs many Mexicans in his numerous hotels and resorts, one needs to realize that Trump trying to get into someone's pants hardly equates to appreciating her culture or championing the collective rights of her ethnicity.

So his wife is a Nazi because her grandparents' government was allied with them... and she's also a trophy wife? Classy.

Replace "Chinese" with "American," "Swiss," "Iranian," "Russian" or "North Korean," and you'll get the exact same argument.
It's not white people vs. Asian immigrants. It's locals (Asians included) against certain PRCs - in this case, tax-evading money-launderers filling their bank accounts at the City's expense.

Who's degrading who, and where? There has been ONE "rice-eating" joke
on another thread, and though the poster meant no harm, a suspension was given almost immediately. You'll notice nobody's been suspended on
this thread.
You'll also notice that the entire thread has been focused on
one specific group of
millionaires from the People's Republic and their actions. By your one sentence - quoted above - you've essentially said that complaints about those millionaires are an attack on every ethnic Chinese person in Vancouver.
So following your logic, all ethnic Chinese have the exact same culture (ignoring the differences between Mandarian, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, etc and the people who speak them), the same history (see previous), and the same country (ignoring Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and any other country a Han Chinese could come from). Also, that they're
all one-percenters who support the existing status quo that's driving prices up, and that anybody of Chinese descent who dislikes it is is an Uncle Tom.
That is TWICE as bigoted as anything anybody has said here, ever.
