Well, it’s not really racist. It’s xenophobic. And that’s nothing to be proud of either.
And no one needs to paint this piece of shit as anything, the dictionary takes care of that.
And back to the usual CBC News commentary: Racism.
CBC News - British Columbia - Missing Merritt woman found
Thank you for you input, Billers. Very smart. However, I think you may have missed the line about being a “loving and attentive mother” to a “6-year old son” left behind in Merritt. But yeah, good point, nothing wrong with that.
Now, let’s get back to discussing the necessity of comments on CBC.ca.
CBC News - British Columbia - CBC reconsiders online anonymity -
The CBC is considering a new policy whereby people commenting on news stories must use their real names, a corporation spokesman has said in response to complaints from an MP… [A] newspaper editorial page [could be] a possible model. “People have to sign their real name, and the newspapers, for example, will check and verify the identity of the person,” said Keay.
Of course, in the comments section of this article an infinite stream of morons argue that it’s their “right” to voice their opinions. Suuuuuuuuuure.
“
the most over-rated Stanley Cup winning goalie in the entire league last year.”
Now, I pride myself on knowing more than just a little about hockey having spent the last nearly 50 years involved in the sport….but please, educate me….how many other Stanley Cup winning goalies WERE there in the league last year?? I’m not arguing he was over-rated as surely this was just another example of a goalie getting hot at just the right time but please, this statement makes NO sense what-so-ever.
” —TERID commenting on this National Post column, a syndication of popular hockey humour blog Down Goes Brown. Apparently, the sarcastic tone, nonsensical “facts,” and blatant lies didn’t break through the vast shield of knowledge built up over “the 50 years involved in sport” to tip him off.
If you’re a hockey fan, make sure you click through. Sean’s actual column is hilarious, intentionally so.
“
I would like to hear from some Chinese fellows. I would like to know their frame of mind. What were they thinking when they were bidding up the properties. What has happened now? Where has the money disappeared?
Seriously i am a little clueless and ignorant about the Chinese culture and mentality.
” — If you’re familiar with Chinese culture, Immig would like to talk to you about the state of BC Lower Mainland House Prices.
Wait?! What?! Is the Globe & Mail starting to get it?!
“I found out after buying No name Pickles and Relish from Superstore that they are made in India. I almost vomited and threw them both in the trash.” — Commenter MikeNike is driven to physical sickness by the thought of eating pickles made in India, also he seems to have problems reading labels.
“How typically Canadian to be down on the success of others. I hope Tofino is taken out by an earthquake.” — Commenter “anonymous” insists that people should DIE if he can’t get a cup of Tim Hortons while vacationing in Tofino.
“CRIMESTUDENT: You are sadly misinformed about the drug issue, but you are not the only one. Alot of it comes from misinformation by the press. Cannabis is a medicine to begin with, not a drug. Drugs are processed and made by man. Cannabis was created by GOD.
Secondly, removing cannabis from the criminal code entirely would free up a lot of wasted resources,(hundreds of millions, plus manpower) plus space in jails and related costs, not to mention allow people to have money that grows on trees(so to speak).
In actual fact, it is unlawful to make criminals of people that choose to follow GOD(Genesis 1:29) instead of a corrupt government that makes it illegal under false pretenses.
While those who suffer from propoganda poisoning may disagree, their opinions are uninformed and based on lies. Perhaps a little self-education would be prudent at this juncture.
To find the right answers, you must first find the right questions.
How many of these crimes ARE YET UNSOLVED?
Where do all the guns COME FROM?
How do police prioritize the allocation of their resources?
How much of their resources are currently being wasted on non-violent cannabis related crimes VS violent crimes and interior corruption?
Are you searching for the root of the problem or just at the symtyms of the problem?
Bottom line, government and police corruption, injustice and supression create and feed the problems you are facing…fix it and find out.”

Aptly named commenter, ancientclown, schools commenter crimestudent on why marijuana good and government/police bad. It would be prudent at this juncture to not let newspapers have comment sections.
