  9. What a disgusting remark. As a Vancouverite I’m shocked as I think of this as one of the few places where racism is “over” already and then you say that.

  10. LMAO You think “racism is over” in Vancouver? So you’re saying that A) You’re white and B) You never leave the house…

    Only white people think racism is over anywhere because it doesn’t affect them. Ask your (I’m sure, many) minority friends if “racism is over” but be prepared for the look they give you.

    BTW, what I said was only “racist” to a humorless prig. Congratulations. Here’s your sign.

  15. I don’t think your “joke” was racist. But it certainly smacked of simple, pedestrian, tiresome humor based on stereotyping. A yawner that doesn’t bother me. But this does strike me as ironic – if Mr. Bee is unqualified to make observations about racism, aren’t you similar disqualified?

  16. All I can hear is Neil Diamond’s “Song Sung Blue” whenever I look at this, with some of the lyrics changed.

  20. Fair question – I am looking at your observation that Mr. Bee may think racism is over using his white man’s eyes. But aren’t a white man yourself? That’s the irony I am noting.

    I actually do not believe racism is a majority v. minority phenomenon. It is easier for racism to be systemic in an environment where a certain race is the minority. But, in Vancouver, caucasians are barely the majority now, and is expected to drop below 50% of the population within the next 10 years. So, does racism have a majority v. minority context anymore in Vancouver?

  28. “You are just plain stupid.”

    Seriously? That’s the best you got? OK…I’ll play…

    “I know you are but what am I?”

    There – feel better being a ten year old again? Come on back when you’re mature enough to can sit at the adult table. Otherwise, go to your room.

  29. I have no problem with people needing or wanting to be anonymous but when you start taking shots at someone, at least have the guts to stand up to them and use your name. Otherwise, you’re just a coward.

  31. Racism will always be with us – for the most part it is human nature to point out someone’s flaws and make fun of them – no matter what color or religion they are. On a side note Shawn – Vancouver will have to be renamed to Hongcouver…;-)

  42. Racism will only be with us for as long as people keep bringing it up. When I speak about people I always try to use facts and observations that are free from ethnic backgrounds unless their ethnic background is the fact Iam trying to convey. For example “Sam Sung is asian.” That is not a racist comment just a fact. The US elections just ended and I am getting tired of everyone claiming everyone else is throwing racial slurs using code words.

  43. “For example “Sam Sung is asian.” That is not a racist comment just a fact.”

    LMAO That may be the funniest thing written on this thread.

    It is most certainly NOT a “fact”. Without a picture of good old Sammy attached to this story or confirmation from someone else involved in it, you are simply assuming Sam’s ethnicity based his Asian surname. For all you know, Samy may be a white kid adopted by Asian parents.

    “I always try to use facts and observations that are free from ethnic backgrounds”

    Then, just like the guy in this thread who incorrectly assumed I was “white like him”, you might want to stop making assumption based on little evidence. I’m just sayin.

  46. Ha ha hidden in the open, the best espionage technique…. I can predict suing and f-ing all over the courts
