Wow, Ms. Wente does live in a bubble. And she loves to cherry pick her statistics. Here in Vancouver I see racism everyday, and I know I have racist moments myself. My wife is Japanese and has been spit on and pushed by older white men. She speaks fluent English with almost no accident, but older white people often pretend to not understand her. I see racism and here racist comments about the Chinese everyday, have sometimes been the one making them, and yes, I see Chinese people being racist against non Chinese. Some of this is just human nature. Some is the adjustment process as Vancouver moves from being a colonial outpost of England and then Toronto to being an independent city at the nexus of an emerging Black Current culture. But there is plenty of racism in Vancouver. Oh, I was in Toronto quite a bit this spring. Noticed many of the same things there. Are things improving? Yeah, I actually think so. And think some of the current tensions are part of the process of improvement.
