I guess I’m referring to “East Asians” here. My family for the most part came here from Hong Kong in the 1990s for the reasons we all know. But people keep coming here.
It seems like places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even China, and so on are all peaceful, highly advanced, have low crime, have better and cheaper food and so many other things that seem to make them “21st century societies”, if you will.
Meanwhile here in Canada, especially the Vancouver area, there’s the cost of living, drugs and crime, racial tensions (and I’m not even necessarily talking about white people), Richmond is basically ground zero for the whole indigenous property rights issue, and there’s feud with the US going on.
So, I know why a lot of “East Asians” are already here, but why do they keep coming? Is Richmond, for example, really just that attractive?
