... and a picture of a Chinese person with a cab in the background was necessary?

I personally don't see it and here is why.

1. I'm not the type of person who frequents Asian markets. I don't go to pacific mall, I don't shop in their grocery type store. So just because I am still not going to the store and wouldn't go because they don't appeal to me and my lifestyle, I'm not racist for continuing to not use them.

2. It is mainly Chinese people avoiding their own markets. So if the majority of people who use these shops are Asian and those Asian people are avoiding them, are they being racist against their own kind?

I just don't see the "racism" in it. I'm open to someone pointing out the difference.

If you don't frequent Asian markets then how do you know that Chinese people are avoiding them? :D

I understand what you were trying to say though. Avoiding an area of town, restaurant, market, event etc is not racist at all.

I am still seeing Asian hookers because I don't want to be perceived as racist, and they need my support in these troubled times.

The mass media has created this fear in the first place. Non stop headlines about how many more people are affected, how many more are dying. Epidemic of global proportions! It was in all papers, TV news, radio. There even was a thread here created by PornAddict that started scaring people on this board. And then the media says "why are you afraid, you racists" :biggrin:

Damn.

I think because of their small stature they get a pass in society as the innocent, docile, harmless people. Some of the worst behaved and inconsiderate people you will ever encounter, aside from Asian Kelly, wherever she is.

Asians are some of the most racist people on the planet so hearing them cry about discrimination is outright laughable

Most people are racist, they just usually stay racist in private and won’t admit it. Wherever there is an opportunity to be racist on a larger scale, that racism usually resurfaces. A lot of them already blamed the Chinese for the state of the housing market.

All people are racist
Even SJW who act against their instincts deliberately

The only diff is how you handle it

Not true, TeeJay. Racism is unacceptable and maybe I'm an exception but I don't have a racist bone in my body. The Chinese in Canada simply need to be barricaded from leaving Chinatown to curtail the spread of the virus. We must act fast or we will all perish.

Speaking as someone who lives downtown, yes, there is absolutely a problem. Go to China town, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this few people there. There is absolutely no question to me that Asian businesses are suffering because of this situation.

If Chinese people avoid Chinese business is that racist?

I went to a popular Chinese Restaurant with co-workers 2 weeks ago and noticed business was way down. But thinking about it know, 90% of the business was Chinese people.

I'm old enough to remember when HIV was first "discovered" and people blamed the gay community. There's a reason why you wear or should wear a condom.

I did go shopping in Chinatown earlier to-day and no I did not wear a mask.

Tourism Toronto said earlier to-day that they are concerned about a decline in Chinese tourists (and their money) this year.

And it is absolutely natural and rational behaviour. In fact,Chinese themselves behave in the same way toward Chinese. It has nothing to do with racism, it is just rational racial profiling, which is, IMHO, a correct way to behave. The probability that a randomly chosen person has this virus is lower than the probability that any randomly chosen Chinese person has this virus. Hence, rational people behave rationally, politically-correct people behave politically-correct. Racism is when you do not like the person because of the race. I have no prejudice again Chinese, but I would rationally avoid going into Chinese community now.

Well it makes me question if they truly have a problem with racism or is this about collecting money?

What is the true intent.

If we're talking about businesses suffering a down trend then of course it's about money. As I said earlier, it's not racist not to go to a particular business, event, etc. It would be racist if someone decided to hurl insults, vandalize, etc. It's not inherently racist for taxis not to pick up Chinese people, but it is discrimination.

I don't see how avoiding the Chinese community is rational given that the number of people infected in Canada is extremely small.

It is mostly Chinese people wearing masks and avoiding Chinese restaurants and Chinese markets. If business is down in the Chinese community is solely because of Chinese people, this is not racism.

Ok, but again, the reason that’s happening is because the media is blowing things out of proportion and making people think they’re much more at risk than they actually are. That’s the issue, not necessarily THAT people are avoiding Chinese businesses, but WHY they are.

Most Chinese do not get their news from MSM, they have their own Chinese language outlets and online sources.
