Hong Kong tops the most intolerant of other races list

[gilleshk]

Funny, some of my best friends are South Asians and I've taught many in schools. They put great value on education, are hard working and generally very pleasant to be with. Often more open and friendly than many of their Chinese counterparts perhaps due to the fact that they are also a minority group. It is virtually a guarantee that in schools like West Island, KGV or Delia where there are large South Asian population that there will be at least one scholar and one athlete that will be in the top ten of the school.

Just like any population, you can look at the worst of them and make generalizations from it however it doesn't mean that it applies to everyone. Far from it in fact...

But according to Gary these are the new triad generation!
Yes, these people despite all the intolerance are pleasant to be with. They show very little hostility to the locals and are more open and friendly. I hope someday that HK becomes a truly international city with sprinkling of different cultures.

Besides, how do you think of their high crime rate and not to mention they becoming the mainstream of new generation of Triad society

If u claims you are local you should know how serious is the problem

I am a local and I don't see any problems with them. Your imagination is warped and totally racist. You should be ashamed of yourself and Its people like you that shame HK.

Funny, there are people like you in places like Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, LA who love to blame crime on the new Chinese immigrants settling there and bringing those nasty HK chinese triads and causing all kind of mayhem. Is that a fair representation of the HK chinese immigrants?

There are people all over the world who love to put the blame on other races/nationalities for all societies ailments. That's just an easy way to fuel and excuse their pathetic attitudes.

This thread has become a confusing mishmash...so are HK people intolerant or not?

Nobody knows. Gary got into the thread, so now we are back to his fetish with SE asians, and youtube videos.

[Plutark]

Ya I am fetish to facts and observation

So Gary, tell us, are you a local or just a troll, or both?

If by facts you mean newspaper articles and youtube videos then don't watch Fox news.

In my view, yes. Or at least they (generally, not all, obviously) are far more openly and unashamedly racist than racist people in other countries (the 'i'm not racist but...' brigade)

Let's use a little Gary logic on immigrants:

Most of the triads that we have encountered in Canada have an origin in Hong Kong

Canadian Asian Triads Called 'Blight On Society'
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/02...n_2783399.html

Big crime and big money go hand in hand, and in Hong Kong - and increasingly Vancouver - that means the Asian triads. All part of a long line of criminal dealings in the service of international drug trafficking that smear Canada's squeaky-clean image.

Those damn HK chinese immigrants bringing those triads to squeaky clean Canada... All they do is bring crime and destroy Canada's image. Am I right or am I right?

[gilleshk]

Oh lookie lookie Gary...

Why is it that those increasingly bad immigrants are coming and according to you making life hell yet the crime statistics show that HK is better than ever in this regard.

This certainly doesn't tell a lurid tale of a city in demise. Must be all those HK chinese criminals emigrating to other countries. That's how you can explain the lower crime stats right?

The really good news about crime in Hong Kong, however, comes from looking back not to last year but 10 years ago. The drop in many categories of offence since then is quite remarkable. Burglaries, for example, have halved; so, roughly, have the number of juveniles and young people arrested for crimes.

The number of mainland illegal immigrants arrested for crime has fallen to one-sixth of what it was 10 years ago, and the number of mainland visitors arrested for offences has also fallen, even though their numbers have increased massively.

Homicide numbers are usually so low that they can fluctuate wildly in percentage terms year on year, so we cannot read too much into them. But for the record, there were more than twice as many murders in 2002 as in 2012.
