Dear Editor
Re: “Chinese driver signs give a red light,” News March 20.
Your article about the Chinese driver decal has raised an issue I think has to be talked about. First of all, you sought out members of the Chinese community to make comments and obviously they are going to say they are offended by the stereotyping. Doing that suppresses any honest discussion which causes people to harbour their resentments that ultimately allows “racism” to flourish. Have you forgotten the big scandal about Chinese buying their drivers licences from a corrupt opportunist? Or about drivers licences from China being valid, even though the driver has not taken a Canadian road test.
How many of these violations of our code of conduct are we suppose to take without becoming jaded and angry. Also, these decals have blatantly used the ICBC logo. This is very concerning.
