Now more than ever, Canadians need to call out racism when they see it GlobeBC

The Vancouver Police Department released this surveillance footage video of a suspect who assaulted a 92-year-old Asian man with dementia at a convenience store in East Vancouver on March 13, 2020. The suspect yelled racist remarks at the victim that included comments about COVID-19. Outside the store, the suspect shoved the elderly man, who hit his head on the ground. The suspect left the store before police arrived.

The President’s remarks are certainly egging on those looking to place blame. But to say Mr. Trump is responsible for racist displays here in Canada is to deny our own history. But while it is totally fair to scrutinize China’s food chain in relation to health, blaming Chinese people for spreading a deadly virus is not. This week singer Bryan Adams, who is vegan, unleashed a profane Twitter rant against “bat-eating, wet-market-animal selling, virus-making greedy bastards.” After he was excoriated for what sounded to many like a racist diatribe, he issued a lame apology and claimed he was only taking a stand against animal cruelty.

GlobeBC I know a guy who likes to dress up in blackface JustinTrudeau

GlobeBC Find this criminal and dump him into the middle of Lake Ontario.

GlobeBC I think our government should be held accountable first.

GlobeBC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like this shouldn't have been done loooong time ago. Racism has been safe and sound for years in Canada and nobody wanted to do anything about it. Anyways, thanks for making me laugh. 👍

GlobeBC Apparently canadians and particularly the msm don't know what racism is.

GlobeBC And yes this guy in the video needs I good kick in the nuts , this was an idiot that doesn’t rep Canadians in general , for all we know he could be American and forgot his gun in the car so just tossed the guy out...trumps buddy

GlobeBC Racism is a 2 way street , I have heard Chinese people talking about how stupid Canadians are, how to cheat the system ,as well as many cultures not giving back to the whole community as it states in your citizenship cerimony

GlobeBC We need language translators on our phones , cause I know we get a lot of racist talk from the store clerks but it’s in a language we don’t understand, so they keep talking ,but some people like me know the language and frankly we need to educate our new Canadians on racism

GlobeBC Why only now? Because its Asian feeling a little discomfort. Why hasnt this call to call out racism been made before? Others gave endured longer deep systematic generational CDN racism towards Black people of all nationalities (including Blacks born in Canada) AND First Nations?

GlobeBC Now more than ever, Canadians need to call out an inept and feckless government that has obviously been compromised.

GlobeBC It would be really helpful to call out racial bigotry/biases as well as the institutional racism that adversely affects persons of colour. Knowthedifference.

GlobeBC Actually, I think calling out racism is one of those things that should be done on a consistent basis.

GlobeBC Imagine every March 17th your culture being mocked and appropriated. Breakfast serials, lotto tickets, sport mascots and alcoholic stereotypes being the norm... 1200 years of Irish oppression and still they face daily discrimination... Oh nevermind, the Irish don’t give a s***.

GlobeBC My god. Give it up.

GlobeBC We always should have been doing this?

GlobeBC I have yet to meet a racist person in Canada in my life. Not once. It’s not a problem, stop making it one.

GlobeBC Yeah, no, “Go back to your country' is not racist, it is ignorent but it does fall under free speech and since Canada isn't China yet, maybe you should educate yourself about this primary right to offend people. And also might want to point out racism here is lower than most

GlobeBC This is horrible. I simply vote with my wallet. I will not patronize the chines anything. zero. Made in china gets left on the shelf. Pay more for made in Canada and EndChina

GlobeBC A lot of racists in this thread. Good times.

GlobeBC The fakenews divides us, makes us fight among each other....

GlobeBC

GlobeBC Ok, I’ll call out this social distancing agenda as racist; look who’s on the UN panel, the special religion doesn’t want your “white Christian kids, touching their kids. You are seen as dirty and a bad influence.

GlobeBC Do you know the country you live in? The vast majority of these 'racist' acts in BC took place in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, an area with the biggest population of the mentally ill & drug addicted in Canada. Judging all white Canadians based on their acts is sickening.

GlobeBC I'm doing my part. Too many white haters or there.

GlobeBC It's stuff like this that makes people doubt the severity of this pandemic.

GlobeBC Now we get these articles after the black faced politician gets re-elected.

GlobeBC Who started this hatred against Asian people in both countries they see and hear it from 📺 📻 and the Internet

GlobeBC So now is calling Canadians racists who need to do better. Working overtime to earn that bribe they accepted I guess

GlobeBC Now more than ever, Canadians need to hold Justin Trudeau and his government accountable for all things they fxcked up and then blame it on racism. Covid19 Coronavirus ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied 5G JustinTrudeau

GlobeBC GlobalBC is racist!

GlobeBC Yes. But it's still OK to criticize the totalitarian dictatorship which unleashed this plague.
