Thanks for ignoring all nuance and intent, and taking a complicated issue with many different large groups of human beings, and boiling it down to one simple divisive segregational perspective that allows no nuanced understanding or solution.

There's more than one issue at play here. I'm not, and would never be defending the racist asshole's in their actions. Unfortunately it's a reality that many human-beings suck. I'm trying to address the issues that have been exacerbating this activity.

Rather, I had no assumption that the racism was coming exclusively from white people in the first place, so I'm finding your emphasis weird.

Keep in mind the issue is of different informational, cultural, and political manifolds interacting. My statement wasn't to "blame". Chinese Canadians, but to encourage a system that both deals with the very real trouble with the CCP, and encouraging an open dialogue that emphasises the separation of the real issue from race. This is to solve underlying problems, and to remove the excuses and ignorance of the bad actors.

This dialogue is currently discouraged due to a pro CCP ideology that's so strong that the CCP are able to police communities within our country. This is why my emphasis, and call for better government solutions to allow anonymous defense for Chinese Canadians against CCP police, and encourage removal of the CCP from our country, regardless of how many actually support the CCP.

Especially if things are happening like the CCP threatening or holding family members that are still in China. If this issue isn't addressed, I don't see it improving.

I also emphasized that the foreign investor problem is one of government regulation, so no victim blaming there either.

Do you have a better solution to the actual problem? Or are you just going to ignore all of that and continue trying to instigate a race war?
