Thank you, MP Genuis, for that question.
If you want to tackle anti-Asian racism, the first way to address that is by listening to the Asian voices in your country—your constituents. To folks who claim to be standing up against anti-Asian hatred or racism, please listen to your constituents; listen to the Asian voices.
As an Asian woman, let me tell you, there is a bigger target on my back, and conflating the idea of anti-CCP with anti-Asian is much more or further disrespect to Asian folks. I say this because Asia is much larger than just China. There are 40 other different countries. That is not only just a disservice to other Asian Canadians; it is also a disservice to Chinese Canadians.
There is a serious issue. There has been a huge rise in anti-Asian sentiment. There has been an over 700% rise I think in the Vancouver area. How are we addressing that? Are we going to be getting stuck in the politics of what is anti-Asian or anti-CCP, or are we going to start addressing the actual issues that are being faced by Canadians? It's as simple as that.
