he hopes more diversity in politics
I hope he catches fire, but only after a thorough kicking.
growing diversity
Disgusting.
percentage of racialized
I wonder if east asians count as "racialized" or if they're too pale. There's probably a chart. "You must be this brown to be diverse"
promoting immigration and diversity
PISS EARTH.
Pakistan-born Hai, who’s running in
Only place he should be allowed to run then is fucking Pakistan.
the othering effect of only seeing white politicians on the news
Must be suffering from sharia-withdrawal. Quick, get this man someone he can stone to death for a minor infraction!
everything I could do not to cry myself
So he a bitch, as well.
“the notion that folks who are not ‘from here’ don’t get a say in how things work.”
Sounds natural and good.
For Hai ... with a decades-long connection to the province ... [he] moved to the province in 2007
Decades: Now equal to one! NEWMATH!
Hai is well known for his charity work
Heh heh, "charity work", [laughs in tax writeoffs]
mostly anonymous — racist vitriol online.
Oh, of course~! How does this poor soul manage to continue like this? Truly, his enduring courage and courageous endurance are an example to all of us in these trying times.
I got called a "slant eyed rat faggot" by a some nigger in an IRC channel back in 1996. #MeTooLikewiseTheSameAlso #IStandWithSomebody #FreeMoneyForSurvivors #DonateToMyPatreon
stoking concerns over “illegal border crossings.”
NOT THE ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS! OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
negative comments, like people suggesting only those born in Canada should run in elections
Negative. Comments.
Negative.
Fucking hell.
Well if that's a "negative comment", here's some raw, cynical, depressive shit for you (Warning: 100% chance you will kill yourself after reading this): Water might potentially be wet to the touch.
["many"] came to Hai’s defence, calling the page racist
So... leftists exist on the internet?
Quelle surprise.
he chalks these kind of attitudes up to mostly fear rather than hate
Well, no shit. One doesn't hate UXO, one simply entertains a healthy degree of fucking wariness.
live in an environment, society, where racism and bigotry, you know, they live here
THEY DO? Man, I went to school with those guys! Racism would steal sixpacks of cheap beer from his uncle and we'd go joyriding around in Bigotry's car, looking for cyclists to run over. Good times! Good times~!
people of colour and women often deal with “online trolling”
Which as we know, is basically like going to war - but not normal war where you get to sit in an air-conditioned barracks for eight hours a day and then ride around in your big ol' armoured car for another five, before collecting your government paycheque and your praise from suckers - but like, Warhammer 40000 war, where fifty million people die in the first minute, you get twenty five flavours of TurboPTSD, and spend the rest of your life screaming incoherently.
And AS YOU KNOW it's only brown dudes and bitches that get thrown into this particular meat-grinder. No internet rando ever rolls up to some pale white dude, spitting vitriol all over the poor man's life... unless, I suppose, that white dude is actually Jewish.
she suspects the population is becoming more open to non-traditional candidates, pointing to increasing levels of visible diversity
Now that's a take and a half, isn't it? That's like suspecting that there may be barbarians at the gates, by pointing to all the barbarians camped just outside the gates.
Presumably it's his fellow divercialized or racismist citizens that are going to be voting for him. They're going to be getting to the polls thinking "Well golly, this man is a similar shade of brown as myself, so I reckon that he must be similar to me - what with the cultural values and genetic inclinations and possibly religion as well! Thus, by voting for him, we can make this territory be more like for us, and everyone else can go pound sand! Ha ha! Democracy!"
appetite for change, which includes visible diversity of candidates and perspectives
It's like people forgot that change can be for the worse as easily as it can be for the better.
