VANCOUVER A video has surfaced of a man hurling anti-Asian slurs during a Stop Asian Hate rally in Richmond on Sunday. Members of B.C.’s Asian community had gathered at Richmond-Brighouse Canada Line station to voice concerns over the lack of charges in an anti-Asian hate incident, as well as the rise of discrimination against Asian-Canadians since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. CTV News Vancouver and other members of the media attended the rally but once the cameras left, organizers say a man approached them. “He had a heated argument with one of our volunteers,” said Ivan Pak, with the Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Concern Group. “His accusation is that if we like the Chinese government or Chinese culture, that we should go back to China. He doesn’t like Chinese culture, he doesn’t like the Chinese government or C.C.P.”
