Just like no one in Richmond would admit to be a bad driver, new immigrants won't dare to admit they can't speak English (not to mention lack of English proficiency would affect their chance of immigration). That's why it is a non issue other than forums like this one, which is populated by mostly second generation Asian Canadians.
Honestly the people who should stir the pot should be people who complainded about the Chinese signs in Richmond, they would have the most to gain if they deftly exploit this incident.
So a few weeks back I had a customer in here a brown guy that just blurted out "go back home you fuckin dipper!" at another brown dude runnin down the street yellin up a storm. When he looked back at me he could tell I was shocked and he says to me "I hate these fuckin dippers! Why come to Canada in the first place if your gonna act the same as back home?!" Now after having my shop in Richmond for a few years and living there plus my daughter attending both high school and elementary I couldnt help but notice a fair portion of the immigrants in Richmond have the same mentality as many of those in Surrey and this guy an immigrant himself hit the nail on the head.
I had always kept my mouth shut I didnt want anyone looking down upon me for my observations but even some of the better adapted immigrants feel the same way as I'm sure he wasnt the only one with such views he just had the courage or lack of filter to express them.
Now what this family needs to do and I'm sure many others like them is think how would this scenario unfold if the roles were reversed and it was a Canadian in their country. I say Canadian because being Canadian has nothing to do with where your from or the color of your skin but your acceptance of a nation its people and its culture.
Language and customs are always a barrier but its up to you to fit in not the other way around. You chose to emigrate to another country you have to take the responsibility to accept that culture and embrace it or whats the point of even going there?

I remember when I used to work at retail, some china aunties would come up to me asking me some shit in mandarin. I'd tell them I don't speak mandarin and they'd just walk off looking pissed and head held up high. Fuck is that all about?
i worked (and still working) retail in both burnaby and richmond. I don't speak canto but a lot of cantonese speaking people gives me crap because i "look like" i can speak canto but then i actually cant. They will say things like "oh you work here (aberdeen center) and you cant speak cantonese? How did you get the job" and shit like that (in very thick chinglish accent though lol). Though that is one of the more harsher things that was said to me but yea i do get attitude like that few times a week.
They also get mad when i speak english.....sooooo yea i often feel pretty stupid for things that are out of my control. But i get what you're feeling.

WRONG
I live in Richmond
I drive like shit
I park like shit
How did this DL end up in my wallet I really don't have a single clue
my point of view might be very different from u guys, as my mom was is not english speaking & she try very very very hard to learn but fail many many times
it was to the point where a grow ass woman was taking classes with little elementary kids, she felt very depressed as she could not learn the language
this is why i try to speak chinese to chinese speaking people when they cant understand english too well
I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

If you had spoken english at home, she'd be 100% fluent by now
Just saying, because I am kind of in the same situation. I am also embarrassed about it, and highly appreciative when someone tries to accommodate me.

this just before i was born & after my parents divorced in 96 she just gave up on it
i still remember to this day how every night she put me to sleep, then turn on the table lamp to study, she would cry every night because of how she just couldnt get it but was too embarrass to let us know
im sure the person suing McD is not in the same shoes as my mom, since im pretty sure even if she cant speak there will be someone there to help her out

Having driven in Richmond nearly all my life, I have experienced the above actions far more in Vancouver and from non-chinese nationalities than Chinese in Richmond.
A large portion of these encounters are with large pickup trucks or large SUV's. Some of them sporting big chrome rims.
Most incidents in Richmond are less outright aggressive, and more passive aggressive. Things like cutting across two lanes to make a turn without any consideration to other drivers, or stopping in the middle of the street and waiting to pick up or drop off somebody.

My cousin did it when he emigrated here from greece.

I'm pretty shocked that you work(ed) at Aberdeen and don't speak Cantonese. I know you said "retail" but do/did you actually work at Vera's Burgers in the food court?
