I happen to be one of them.
Racial violence/skinheads are extremely rare in this country and when it does happen the police move quickly to apprehend the suspects. We had a racially motivated murder of a Native male last year in Alberta by a Korean guy, but all of this is quite rare. This contrasts with China where just last week police kicked a white male from Calgary in the head because a cabdriver says he was "ripped off by one of them". Very little recourse in that country from racial violence.

Just curious what you are basing this on? Hate crime laws have been taken very seriously here in the past decade.
Many many cases of hate crime were just ignored by the Police. The media only show the public of cases of hate crime where the Jews are the victims. Sometimes when money is the main issue then the Canadian police pretends that they take hate crimes against Asians very seriously. An example would be the Chinese Visa students that were attacked by skinheads in NB.

oh great! Just when I posted a thread on Chinese students getting attacked in New Zealand, I read that there's another attack on us Asian in Canada.
Damn. I was planning on moving to canada after I finish my school, because a lot of the white Canadians i've encountered were very friendly to me, compared to white trash americans.
Japanese are "friendly" on the outside too. They keep bowing to everyone. Are they actually friendly ?

Have you actually been here?. Canada is a great place to live (far better than America).
Even if Canada is batter than USA, it still doesn't make it a great place for Asians to live.
