But is it not a strawman to harp on this idea that anybody on SSP Canada thinks it is acceptable for somebody to crudely verbally abuse Chinese people on the street in Vancouver? I doubt that a commonly-held belief, but your go-to tactic is to accuse people of being racist or supporting racism if they disagree with you. It is silly.
Beyond that I am skeptical that we can use the erratic behaviour of crackheads to gain insight into social norms in Vancouver.
I say this as somebody who has been verbally abused in a could-have-been-reported-as-a-hate-crime way by crackheads a few times in Vancouver and elsewhere. And the potential holder of multiple raceology and raceonomy PhDs from any number of online universities!
