High End Premium Outlet Mall Planned For Sea Island Near YVR

Hurrah, another tacky mall. However, there’s nothing asians love more than buying “status wear” at discounted prices, so it’s a pretty solid business plan. Unfortunately, business and taste do not often coincide.

Nick obviously hasn’t shopped enough to know the “Premium Outlet” brand…

 Be happy the Asians are here? Are you fucking serious? They’re the reason Vancouver real estate is now unaffordable to those who were born and raised here. Not that I blame them, it’s our own fault for not putting restrictions on foreign real estate investments. And on a personal level, I think these new arrivals are tacky as hell. They all have the same fluffy white dogs, only white or black cars, they all wear the same style of clothing, and they speak the only foreign language I actually find irritating (and it’s extremely irritating). In short, the Chinese people lack individuality, or any redeeming qualities that enrich our society. Considering their whole goal in life is to earn status, I share absoluetly no values with these superficial half-people. So excuse me if I don’t exactly enjoy their presence. Don’t get your PC panties in a knot, I’m sure the feelings are mutual on their side, since they do have a pretty well earned reputation for being one of the most racist cultures around. That is the only thing we have in common. Yes, I am justifiably, naturally, and quite comfortably anti-Chinese. Bring more Japanese.

It’s true that asians, at least the subsample of Chinese coming to Vancouver from Hong Kong, have an insatiable lust for material things. Slap a brand name on something, and they’re all over it. Having so much pressure to be successful and accepted among themselves, it seems they have lost sight of what success really means – no it’s not driving German cars. The “hater” poster makes valid observations, but where we differ is that I don’t hate Chinese people. I don’t particularly find anything attractive about them either, but that has more to do with a language and cultural barrier than hate or ignorance per se. Should we be glad they’re here? I don’t know. Maybe this will eventually lead to a unique local culture where all the currently segregated races will have interbred enough to smash those walls down. I look to Brazil for hope in that regard. Beautiful people and culture, there.

Yes, because money is everything. The amount of money in your bank account is literally your your net worth. It sums up who you are. I hope you have a lot of money! 

 I’m not going to make the same mistake as you and assume that I have a larger bank account, but the odds are fairly high that I do. I earned better grades than most, worked hard in university, completed a master’s degree, and I’m now in the real world earning an excellent salary. I also watch hockey and drink the occasional beer. I also eat a hamburger from time to time, but I’ve never tweeted.

Let me tell you something, Dal. I agree to a certain point with others on here that have expressed some dislike for the Chinese people. Comments like yours only add to this distaste. It’s true that Chinese people value different things in life. This doesn’t make you inferior, just different. Do I have to like these differences? No. Should I accept them and learn to live with them? Absolutely.

 ROFL the chinese should look to the Japanese for asian lessons

Sad to see so many racist and ill wishing comments here against people of Asian decent. I, as a person with immigrant parents (not Asian) find this troubling and sad. Seeing how the so called “locals” see the world is disheartening! Makes me more determined to leave this place one day for brighter pastures! 

Which Chinese?  Those from Hong Kong?  Mainland?  Taiwanese?  Han?  You are making the same mistake:  Lumping a group of people into a box and labelling them all the same.

I agree..I’ve been living in the downtown core for over two years now & I am sick & tired of these young chinese immigrant’s pompous attitudes and refusal to communicate w/ anyone else outside of their own culture or anyone who is not “useful” to them. I’d like to add that my best friend is asian & we have both ranted and raved about this same topic many times! 

So how about them apples? 

If an asian  who was born and raised here is complaining about her own culture, then that’s pretty bad wouldn’t you say? Yes, Government policies have made HUGE mistakes. My family came here with nothing in the 50′s and guess what? They had to assimilate in every way & even learn English! Ah, what a concept eh??! I blame this city for many of the problems we have today due to “loose” immigration policies resulting in ridiculous real estate prices, lack of job opportunities, cultural segregation, I could go on and on. I want to point out that this is directed to recent immigration after the Hong Kong 1980′s boom.. NOT to the older immigrants who came here between the 1950′s – 1970′s because they loved Canada & wanted to build a better life for themselves & their family. They are some of the most friendly, caring, hardworking people I have ever met.

“Lumping a group of people into a box and labelling them all the same”  Really? The native indians do that to Caucasians all the time.  How many times have you heard them blame the ‘white man’ for their problems and point to one like that individual was around 400 years ago?  Food for thought: just because one black guy robs a store doesn’t mean all black guys are going to do it.

So misguided its not even funny. So many generalizations that just aren’t true. I’d like to see evidence that they are the most racist. You most likely live in Vancouver Canada. Calm down. You have no ghetto. You must be some spoiled liberal yeah?

They can call the devolpment ..Le cantlie
