Richmond residents join in solidarity against racist flyers


While Richmond RCMP continue to investigate the distribution of racist flyers to homes in Steveston, dozens of residents gathered Sunday to protest the offensive pamphlets. "I'm a little ... surprised and sad for that because we love Canada," said Monika Wu at the Brighouse SkyTrain station where she and others held Canada flag signs that read, "We are proud Canadians," and "No hate." "We love this country, we love our multicultural society ... people come from different backgrounds and countries, we are [a] big family." The flyer shows a caricature drawing of a man laughing and an image of a Chinese flag with the words, "The Chinese are taking over," in bold letters. Richmond has one of the highest proportion of immigrants compared to other cities in Canada, with China being many peoples' country of origin.
