Dear Editor,

Black Canadian faced more racism in Richmond than elsewhere,” Online, April 25.

No mistake, that is a correct observation. Vancouver, Richmond and the Lower Mainland are the most racist places I have ever been across this country, no question.

This is why I have a hard time being sympathetic to the assertion of anti-Asian racism.

Because I have rubbed elbows and worked hard next to people in these communities and I see how they treat each other in our country.

That this Black Canadian experienced this in Richmond surprises no one.

Consider that in the larger context of our so-called “post nation.”
