There's no proof that Zheng He's fleets sailed across the Pacific. No artifacts, no historical chronicles, oral stories etc.
In any case it was settled as British Columbia, not Chinese Columbia. Who cares if some Chink sailors washed up in the 14th Century and blended in with the Chug population.
Also look up Seattle Freeze, people are unfriendly down there even without a major Chinese presence.

In Richmond it was retard Chinese people and the odd white person… then transition to Surrey and it was a mix of retarded brown guys and white guys. I wonder why? Maybe the demographics of the area?
Such a stupid low-class way to think of the world and people around you. | white still dominate the trucking industry with 2/3 of the population, when was the last time we heard them causing a massive negligent accident like Humboldt? what is there to deny Indian drivers do not care about safety as much as other drivers?
Easy for you to say when you experience the same amount of bad driving in both surrey and richmond. Put yourself in my shoe where I have encountered 2 accidents with indian drivers, countless close calls and other bs driving in surrey, but none in Richmond (I probably just jinxed myself here), how am i supposed to be a saint like you and blame it on the demographics of the region?

Doesn’t matter if you think all the Chugs here are just long lost Chinamen, the culture here is fundamentally late empire British and those people’s culture was/is one of minding your own business, stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry on, pip pip cheerio!

Need to let go of the hatred. Embrace the fact that there could be good amongst them and not all of them are what you think they are. Even if your empirical evidence shows otherwise. I assure you there are a lot of them that are fantastic people.

I didn't even mention this, I only got bullied once when I was in elementary school, a brown kid from my school came out of a car, chased me around the neighbourhood, then used a golf club, hit a ball and almost hit me in the head, I could had been seriously injured or killed.

I get it bro. Recall that I fought BokBokDeep in the parking lot of a KFC in my 20s.
Anyways, we all need to let go. Not easy, but it’s overcoming this hatred that ultimately makes us a better people. You’ll get there. You just gotta give them a chance. Go fuck their women !!! Some are insanely hot.

You wanna debate the issues? Sure. But do it without the hate.
You can provide actual evidence to support statements like "other ethnicity has done bad to the local community" and "endangering other families' safety".
Oh right. you have none. Just anecdotals.
Nothing wrong with debating here, but let's be respecful, yeah?
So yeah. Knock it off. Or I'll happily kick you out. Your call.

In Canada it's called freedom of expression. It'll protect you from the government for expressing your opinion.
RS can squelch you. That's our freedom of expression.

What evidence do you need? You know it, everyone knows it, do you want me to spell everything out for you? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...nity-1.7193287 https://vancouversun.com/news/bc-cri...ear-creek-park https://globalnews.ca/news/11428581/...n-reward-info/
Do you really think families living nearby and business owners don't fear for their own safety?

Are you gonna diminish the fact that I got into two car accidents (one hit and run, one rear-end), countless other close calls on the roads, and my own negative experience with indian co-workers?
You don't have a problem with them? Good for you, you have been lucky, don't diminish my bad experience with your own luck.
how is you being bullied by your own any relevant to my situation, that's like me saying i got bullied by some big chinese dude, but that's not the case here.
From what I gathered, you lack empathy

That’s pretty funny because I’ve done a lot of personality tests due to work and got some of the highest EQ scores the tester had ever seen, I’ve got plenty of empathy… if you were bringing any critical thinking to your arguments / points of view I’d understand where you’re coming from but when you’re saying just because you have some negative interactions 3 billion people are pieces of shit, its indefensible.
I got hit head on in Richmond, my car was totalled, driver was a middle aged white guy. I laughed about it at the time that I managed to get fucked up by the only other white dude in Richmond… but that’s about it, it’s just random, he tried to sue me saying it was my fault too and accused me of being on driugs/impaired and that my car was faulty and he lost… but I don’t go through life thinking all middle aged white guys are cheating mofo aholes. I don’t know what you think is happening to you.
It’s like you think you’re being personally targeted and persecuted by an entire ethnic group? That’s a bit crazy.
I used to be scared of brown guys when I was younger too, barely ever saw them in Steveston side of Richmond and had a couple of negative interactions at sports events… and some good and bad coworkers… then met some really nice guys (like guys in this thread) and went to some weddings and shared some great experiences and then joined a hockey group where I was the only white guy and they’re awesome, there’s a few dicks in the group but I just don’t interact much with them … they have their own culture and way of talking and way of earning respect and I figured out how to coexist. Now some of those guys would drop whatever to come help me if I needed it or hook me up with stuff. If you just shut your door and don’t try and, likely, act aggressive or defensive whenever you see someone brown you’re only ever going to reinforce your previous experiences.

Damn, 68style. You went from two white guys causing motor vehicle accidents in Richmond (of all places) to a place with more white people? You are a glutton for punishment based on the momentum of this discussion. Are we brothers from another mother or something?

I have been looking at old Maseratis and Aston Martins lately.
I draw the line at pegging though, you can have that genre all to yourself |

There is a chinese saying that goes 未经他人苦,莫劝他人善 which translate to Don’t teach others to be good without experiencing their suffering | You are showing in real time how PTSD/trauma formulates future thoughts and feelings.
This might explain Jason's obsession with trannies.

Few bad apples spoil it for everyone but like I posted a few pages back, the vast majority of Chinese and even Indians are good, hardworking people who have integrated into Canadian society. We don’t have Chinese or Indian slums, and we don’t have Chinese or Indians who can’t succeed. In fact, I would say both diasporas have done exceptionally well financially and politically.
