This is nothing new.
I’ve heard Vancouver is a racist town since in my teens.
Vancouver is an Asian city. They are racist themselves and think they own the place.
@69Mach I CJ Cobra Jet 👍🏻
There are many countries in the Asia.
BUT NOT MANY CAUCASIANS FOR SOME REASON LIKE HERE. WHY?
Persians are West Asian
I’m Japanese and very proud to be Asian!!!!!!!
@Nathan Mulopo *In 2019, the share of B lacks in poverty was 1.8 times greater than their share among the general population. B lacks represented 13.2% of the total population in the United States, but 23.8% of the poverty population.*
*In contrast, non-Hispanic Whites and Asians were under-represented in the poverty population.
Non-Hispanic Whites made up 59.9% of the total population but only 41.6% of the population in poverty. Asians made up 6.1% of the population and 4.3% of the population in poverty.*

@Michael Bradley Okay And? What’s your point? Asia has one of the highest poverty rates in the world. Almost 60% of Asians living in Asia are living under the poverty line LMAO. What’s your point??
@Nathan Mulopo *Based on the USD 3.20 poverty line, Asia’s poverty rate dropped from 73.6% in 1965 to less than 10% in 2014. Using the lower poverty line of USD 1.90, the poverty rate fell from 48.5% to 2.6% during this period.*

You should be proud. Most of these dummies saying go back, don’t realize their heritage were immigrants. Bunch of idiots.
Yellow Lives Matter !
Orange lives matter too.
This story, alone and in itself, is inherently rac ist.
This isn’t helping. If she wants to speak up, speak up about the poor hygiene. The wet markets. Wild animals being used for food and traditional medicine. Speak up that it needs to be regulated. That there needs to be a change.
What’s wrong with that you racist
Eilleen Park is speaking up about her own experiences with anti-Asian attitudes and subtle hatred. Why are you suggesting that she should speak up about Asian wet markets. That is not the source of or justification for anti-Asian racist!
She’s Korean. Wouldn’t know anything about wet markets. How is she or other Asians in Canada responsible for covid anyway.
@TheNabinder She only knows, “mi lub u looong time!”
Wild animals have been used for food for many many centuries. Is okay for you to eat a farm raise animal??? Now you are racist!!!
Most of the hate messages were probably from Asian males
@Michael Bradley Dudes with yellow fever don’t send hate messages about interracial couples
@samslick90 Dudes with yellow fever are competing with Asian males. Duh!
@samslick90 WMAF urban dictionary
@Asian Party Girl ????
@samslick90 my videos are wholesome🤣🤣🤣
Stupid .
Shooting in Boulder was an anti European American hate crime. Wasn’t it?
What goes around, comes around.
Y3llow trash.
Huwite trash.
Ugh…whatever.
Dang! She’s pretty! Their just jealous!
What happen to the two Michael
A beautiful couple.
Congratulations.
Best wishes on this wonderful journey, as you build your new lives together.
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
Gregor Robertson is gorgeous. Of course, they are going to be jealous. I’m jealous. Living well is the best revenge. So cook up those gourmet meals every day and enjoy your new lives together.
I have been living in Canada for 25 years and I see racism everyday in almost every workplace… it’s pathetic when we the Canadians say that we are not racist.
Oh boy here come “Me Love You Long Time” 🙁
She’s very pretty! Canada, i see are just as hateful as other countries.
