I'm glad you didn't have to go through that, but I think that you are in the minority. | You know what? I think we both see the same reality (this city is small), but we perceive it differently. Here's why:
1) Early HS is a time for kids to learn to live w/ each other. I don't put much weight in what happens during this period, even though you will see the most racist shit happen. They are kids after all. This is the time where you have to take shit and fight back at a primal level. You can have a lot of fun doing this  but it depends on your situation. Disagree with me, if you like.
Everyone will have to go through a process of getting along at some point, even older ppl who will have to resolve their pre-conceptions. Ppl are born this way. My experience was that as you matured in Gr. 11 + 12, ppl stopped caring about childish things like which group you belonged to.
2) I don't care about exceptions to the rule (ie girls dating for status). I concentrate on what the majority are like. You and I see the same things, I just don't believe it's as a big of a deal because outliers are hard to control.
Like it or not, there will always be some racism around because of different ppl everywhere and the fact you're still a minority. In an environment like this, it's important you be strong enough with your identity where one-off incidents and things on tv don't effect you, IMO. Other ppl don't live your life so they shouldn't be running it.
3) I see CBC as a subculture in Canada and you don't have to be born here or even be HK Chinese. There's no book that dictates you have to be this way or that way. It just happens. The label's applied after the fact. Hongers, Twangers, Mainlanders don't have a book either. Ethnically they are the same, but their cultures are different cuz of their diff environments. That's the truth. So then, when Hongers diss mainlanders are they selling out their own race?
To me, it's a bunch of people who want to diss other people. But others see the current HK book as what CBCers should aspire to. When things don't happen according to that belief, the double standard begins.
Anyway, there's my take. It's ok if you don't agree with it; you make up your own mind. But I still think much of your previous post regarding CBCs was dead wrong. Quote: |
Try starting a club called "The Whites-Only Club", or "The Aryan Club", and people will be quick to start comparisons with white supremacist groups. But no one will really object to "Chinese Club" or "Indian Club."
| Yes, but my point was: "The White Club" carries baggage because of the past. It's a double standard but you can get around it with a different name + still have activities catering to white guys. Quote:

That this way of 'surviving/adapting to an environment' (lol Club Days are srsbsn) isn't wrong and we aren't supposed to judge because we're not in their shoes?
That family members like to live near each other? That the lower mainland has a Chinese population that immigrated here, but they're considered Canadian Born Chinese(what in the blue hell...?) even though they immigrated here?
Wait, how did you mix up a "Canadian" club means the same thing as an anglo-saxan club? | Stupidest reply of the year.
I have no idea what you're talking about. You had a rant ready and wanted to use my post to springboard into it. Nice job of not reading what I wrote  . Go get some glasses. Quote:

Many of their jokes are based on stereotypes or some form of racism. How is laughing at these "professionals" any different than laughing at a student produced video? | To really dig into this..
Stereotypes aren't racist. It's natural to group ppl. It's only racist when it's made up to fit somebody's predetermined conclusion. The problem is you gotta handle it delicately. Some can do it, some can't.

it's bullshit. the cbc's at ubc already have their noses stuck up high. they don't need to congregate together and get even more high and mighty.
just look at the type of people in CVC. it's a joke.
most of them walk around like they're harvard MBA types or some shit. give me a break. cbc pride my ass, dog shit has more integrity than these fools. | +1
i notice that the ppl that join cvc are the losers you went to highschool with

what did you think would happen? SEriously, you and I have been on this board long enough to know that a thread like this would go off the tracks by the 5th post or so...

this is pretty funny.... so much ranting that accomplishes nothing...
i used to be an exec on CVC a number of years ago. i had a shitload of fun. but i could definitely see how people outside the club would see it as pretty stupid - because it's hard to break the cliques that form. quite a few of the events are smaller - and end up just having quite a lot of execs vs a smaller number of members.
on a sidenote - the Chinese Varsity Club was formed years and years ago - i think back in the 60's or earlier - and back then - Chinese people were definitely a minority. it was formed so that chinese people could socialize and play sports - hence varsity. nowadays - with so many other chinese clubs - they all get a bad reputation for alienating other races. stop crying about the name of clubs. at UBC - there's an Arab Student Association, Bhangara Club, German Club, Japan Association, Serbian Student Association to name a few - which are just the same. it just happens that because there are so many chinese clubs - there are many that are quite active - with many social events... i don't understand why you would give them so much flak about it?
