Pierre Elliot Trudeau hated the British heritage of Canada as much as Henry Yu does.

MAKING AN IMMIGRANT NATION-Yu
 
Ever since Canada was officially designated a multicultural nation during the prime ministership of Pierre Elliot Trudeau in the 1970s the age-old British character of this nation has been under relentless assaults. Multiculturalism promulgates the equality of all races, religions and cultures; accordingly, it demands a Canada in which no particular ethnic group has a privileged position in the nation’s history and culture. Will Kymlicka, the most prominent scholar and salesperson of Canadian multiculturalism, sums up succinctly what it all entails: ‘Adopting multiculturalism is a way for Canadians to say that never again will we view Canada as a “white” country...as a “British” country (and hence compel non-British immigrants to relinquish or hide their ethnic identity).’ Non-British immigrants can retain and affirm their ethnic identity; they have a ‘distinctive group identity,’ which must be protected ‘from the impact’ of the ‘dominant’ white culture.

But multiculturalism contains a negation within its very essence. It protects the group rights of non-Western peoples while simultaneously denying the host (Western) nation any group rights of its own. The host nation is seen as a neutral site characterized solely by its provision of individual rights, which apply to everyone, and its provision of group rights, which apply only to non-whites. The founding Anglo-French culture of Canada is indeed expected to suppress its own particularities in order to accommodate the particularities of ‘minorities’. The founders are mandated to be ethnically neutral, historically disinterested, and behave as if they were a people representing certain deracinated values that belong to ‘humanity.’2 While multicultural ideologues implicitly recognize that minorities have deep attachments to their ethnic backgrounds, and, in this vein, recognize that humans do have a natural attachment to their own heritage and ethnicity; they call upon whites to practice historical amnesia and pretend they were not the creators of Canada’s institutions, parliamentary traditions, and common law. The historical fact that Canada was built as a nation state around a founding ethnic core must be discarded and hidden from students.

One issue that I have with the false history that the Chinese were a founding culture of Canada is that though they enjoyed the safer and freer society of Canada they did not create the laws and never have on their own either and I am certain never would have created a Canada as they like near as much to enjoy living in. This is also the same kind of false claims that China is using to try to justify stealing bits of land from all of China's neighbours.

Children were once taught that Canada was a unique nation founded by two peoples, the French and the English. Then they were taught that the ‘Aboriginals’ were also a founding people, but that the English and French had dispossessed the Aboriginals who were here ‘first.’ Now they are learning to include Asians and new immigrants in the founding narrative of Canadian nationality. Newcomers are coming mostly from Asia; therefore Canadians should redefine their ‘roots of citizenship’ to reflect this new reality. In a 2002 publication, A Newcomer’s Introduction to Canada, released by Citizenship and Immigration Canada ‘for new immigrants,’ it was

Is it not obvious that Henry Yu is very but secretly racist towards whites ? Does he not support the subjugation of whites as does his tong in their oaths and rituals ? [ fan qing fu ming . kill the Qing , exterminate the Qing , destroy the Qing etc... ] 

He taunted whites as to who is the minority now in Vancouver, ‘our city will soon be over 50 percent “visible majority,” with the vast majority of these “non-whites” of Asian heritage. Who is the “minority” in a city that has such strong historical and demographic connections to the Pacific?’

Who is the “minority” in a city that has such strong historical and demographic connections to the Pacific?’population with British ethnic origins was reduced to 35.9 percent by 2006, whereas the Asian population climbed to 42 percent. ‘In Vancouver,’ Yu says euphorically, ‘you can't go to a neighbourhood now where Chinese aren't living in significant numbers. It's incredible.’

Does Henry Yu honestly discuss the racism of Chinese ? One cannot even compete against a Chinese fairly sports when Chinese are in control.

Another revealing exposition of the everyday racial attitudes of the Chinese toward Africans is M. Dujon Johnson’s Race and Racism in the Chinas: Chinese Racial Attitudes towards Africans and African-Americans (2007). Johnson focuses on a series of incidents during the 1980s and 1990s, including one in which thousands of Chinese students set about assaulting and destroying the dormitories of African students in Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, shouting ‘Kill the black devils!’ The authorities did not prevent the demonstrations which went on for many days. Johnson observes, ‘[my experience] demonstrated to me on a daily basis how life in Chinese society is racially segregated and in many aspects similar to a system of racial apartheid.’
The visit by Condaleeza Rice to Beijing in 2008, which led to a flurry of racist postings on China’s websites, is quite telling. Many stigmatized Rice as ‘the ugliest in theworld’… ‘I really can’t understand how mankind gave birth to a woman like Rice’… Some directly called Rice a ‘black ghost’, a ‘black pig’… ‘a witch’… ‘rubbish of Humans’… Some lamented: ‘Americans’ IQ is low — how can they make a black bitch Secretary of State’… Others did not forget to stigmatize Rice with animal names: ‘chimpanzee’, ‘bird-like’, ‘crocodile’, ‘a piece of rotten meat, mouse shit, [something] dogs will find hard to eat’. A similar outpouring of racial loathing marked the appearance in a talent show of Lou Jing, who has a Chinese mother and an African American father who left China before her birth.
17 Recently, NBC News reported (May 16, 2012) that ‘racial discrimination is a harsh reality within China’s ESL industry, where recruiters actively seek the blond-hair, blue-eyed all-American archetype (along with similarly equipped Britons, Australians and other native speakers close behind). While brown hair also is acceptable, having a white face is a near-absolute requirement
China's ethnic composition is almost exclusively Han, 91.9 percent of the population. The ethnic minorities (Mongols, Zhuang, Miao, Hui, Tibetans, and Uighurs) are treated as second class citizens. Tibetans are routinely described as superstitious, lazy, ignorant, and dirty. Tibet is an independent country occupied by Chinese imperialists; Han migration is destroying their heritage; Han companies dominate the main industries; the Chinese get all the best jobs. The Tibetans are irritated that Chinese migrants eat their dogs (animals believed to be the last reincarnation before humans in Tibetan Buddhism); they don't walk clockwise around temples and monasteries, and they toss away their cigarettes at wooden temples and holy trees. The New York Times described one man whose house was burned down for no evident reason. When he tried to seek help, the authorities said, ‘What race are you? Tibetan? Go ask the Dalai Lama for help.’

Henry Yu's deliberate lie that " whites came to Vancouver and saw all these natives and chinese running around and thought "we must get rid of them" here is exposed. Chinese the were hardly mixing with whites then either. They were often working in laundries or as house servants etc... and I highly doubt any white person remembers their grandparents being so outrageously racist.

Noticeable as their role was in Vancouver, the Chinese played a microscopic role in Canada`s history. In 1901, 96 percent of the Canadian population was European in origin; there were only 17, 043 Chinese immigrants (born outside Canada) relative to a population of 5.3 million. Vancouver, with the highest Chinese proportion throughout Canada’s history, was virtually a white European city from its beginnings in the 1870s to the 1980s. In the 1950s, when the city had been fully developed into a metropolis, the British accounted for about 75 percent of the population, and other Europeans accounted for about 18 percent, whereas the Asian proportion (Chinese and Japanese) accounting for only 3 percent. Patricia Roy's Vancouver, An Illustrated History (1980), exhibits a city that was overwhelmingly British in its architectural landscape, notwithstanding its Chinatown and Little Tokyo. All the major landmarks were British: the Post Office, built 1905-1910; Dominion Trust, the Canadian Pacific Railway station; Canadian Bank of Commerce; the Strand Theater and Birks Building, with their sidewalk canopies in 1933; the Tudor revival style homes in Shaughnessy Heights in the 1920s.
8 The sports, the education, the legal system -- every institution was British. The Founding Fathers of Vancouver, the Mayors, the magistrates, the school trustees, the chief constables, the physicians, the presidents of the Board of Trade were all British descendents.
