They may not mean to be racist, but they fan the hatred targetting a "certain demographics" by their rhetoric. Just look through all the threads now: such blatant racist postings are getting from bad to worse. Time to put a stop to that, and you should know better.
Famous quote by Niemöller :
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

And what did you do when the Mainland Chinese Money Launderers came for your house?
It is you and misher who stoke racism by equating Mainland Chinese money laundering with All Chinese People. The thinking person would say "yes, it's a problem how can we deal with it". That's what Melody Ma, Justin Fung and others have done. But the two of you instantly go to "this is racist" when the devastating effects of Mainland Chinese capital on Vancouver's housing market is brought up.
Far more Filipinos and Indians immigrate to Canada yearly than Chinese, do you see any posts complaining of money laundering from those groups? If it was all some racist conspiracy surely they would be targetted as well.
