Whites being evicted from Vancouver Korean owned plaza

[M.Dancer]

Yes. If I ask someone to leave, on whatever grounds, they need to leave. If not, they are trespassing. The police need to enforce that.

If some business owner had a reputation for asking non white customers to leave.....I would be in favour of donating the empty wine bottles and rags......Of course though, a court of law would have the owner arrested and out of harm's way before the fire department is needed.

This of course is blatant racism and discrimination in the first degree.

If this story is true, then I agree with your assessment.

However, by your own rules you "lost" as soon as you posted this.

From your own signature.....

That's true. This side is the only side of the argument claiming racism. The rule can't be wrong. Maybe I have lost the argument and just don't know it yet? Maybe i've been wrong the whole time?

Hey intellectuals and great think liberal minds,

Did anyone here about the strip mall in Vancouver that got purchased by a Korean business man and all the 'white' people, or Canadians are basically being kicked out and being replaced with pretty much the same stores but Korean owned. They are admitting that it is because these people are not Korean.

This of course is blatant racism and discrimination in the first degree. I'm sure is a violation of our charter of rights and freedoms. Naturally, the gov't is doing nothing about this of course becuae the Liberals in BC cannot threaten their precious immigrant vote.

I have to say, no matter what side of the fense your on, this sort of thing is wrong and shoulnd't be happening in any country in this day and age. Of course, does this make our country a racist country? You know this sort of thing is like .. hmmm.. i can't break my own rules in my own sig so I'll end this paragraph.

See intellectual, liberal great thinkers, ponder this - Some of us don't recognize different skin colors, races, ethnicities, or foreign languages because we're not racist and don't beleive in discrimination.

It's too bad that anti-discrimination and hate laws are not enforced in a neutral manner. Perhaps some people would be less likely to curry special favor with the government if the laws were truly neutral.

You must have missed the part about this going before the tribunal?

Well, violence is hardly an acceptable outcome. I'd just take my business elsewhere. I see your point.

Do you really think your justified in forcing someone to serve someone else. Specific performance of contracts was banned as a remedy for breach of contract in the US (right jbg?) around the same time as the anti-slave laws came out. They said forcing someone to perform a contract was along the lines of slavery. I don't see how forcing someone to enter a contract is any different.

I wouldn't do business with anyone I don't want to, let the government lock me up for it. Personally, I wouldn't turn down a profitable deal with anyone, I could care less what race or religion wants to give me money. But if someone does have an issue, I'm ok with them having that issue.
