Multicultural communities have identity politics to reckon with and tribalism takes over.
Interestingly British Columbia and Vancouver have been traditionally WASPish areas where many retirees have flocked to from the East. Asian immigration is much more noticeable in Vancouver than in Toronto because the area being settled in is smaller and the original community is much more homogenous. Also, because many of the immigrants are wealthy they do not have the pressure to assimilate and hence many do not speak English. This would have contributed to strong anti-Asian sentiments and it did in the past. Torontonians display more racism than people in other parts of the country, the report concludes.
