Dear Editor,
We should not be surprised by the racist flyers turning up in Steveston. Richmond has been highlighted in the racist website Council of European Canadians before, discussing how the “white and truly harmonious” Richmond is now filled with “ugly Chinese commercial signs” populated by a diversity of “Chinese, Muslims, Africans or Mestizos.”
We got their attention thanks to the so-called “community activists” who have been raging about changes in Richmond for years, usually blamed on ethnic Chinese immigration.
The Council of European Canadians is listed on the racist alt-right poster appearing in Toronto neighbourhoods. It believes that the “cultural Marxists” (whatever that means) who have been controlling our country since 1971 are bent on destroying our European heritage, even though 95 per cent of Canadians self-identified as of European heritage in the 2006 census.
If you need convincing to be vigilante, try to watch the film Guess who’s back — the U.S. election is simply life imitating art.
