Vancouver's "Canucks" National Hockey League (NHL) team fans riot after the 2011 Stanley Cup Game 7 Loss to Boston Bruins in the downtown central business district. It is notable that someone is holding up a makeshift sign saying "Don't make Vancouver look bad!" However the overall behaviour of these youthful fans underscores the true nature of Canadian people bubbling underneath the thin veneer of "western civility", as anyone who has grown up in Vancouver's public schools will understand. It is notable that despite having a 40% "Asian" population, most of the rioters are clearly caucasian of European and East Indian ancestry - Asians just aren't hockey fans for the most part!
