What about the homegrown Canadian Chinese who don't read/speak Chinese?

I have friends that are homegrown Canadian Chinese that who don't speak/read Chinese.
They don't have hard feeling that we speak Cantonese to each other.
And if he/she is around, I will speak English so that he/she is not left out.

If there are people on LYK who is homegrown Canadian Chinese who don't speak/read Chinese, as soon as he/she mention that.  I'm pretty sure LYKs here wouldn't mind translate or change channel.

I don't see a big deal about it.

so this discussion is about what language should be used in lyk? or just about you not feeling comfortable using chinese with some ppl in front of an english speaking group?
i just don't understand why it's in the 新手教學 area.

Sometimes, it is your manner or tone that people would respect you.

As long as you are easy going, respect others, I don't see why people have to target you just because you are a Chinese.

If discrimination is really that wide spread and ALL Caucasian are racist, why is the senior staff in my department always smile at me.  And tell others or tell me that I'm very bright and smart?  Why is she always ask me to join the life/wellness classes with her and make sure that we can go together on the same day? She could have just tell others that I'm not capable.  She could have hide my talents and promote the other Caucasian girl in my department.

First of all, nam, I don't discriminate people typing Chinese.  Some loyaukee on my criminal list made fun of me for not typing Chinese.  I have no problem with anyone using Chinese here.

Nam, I a ...

I'm sure most LYKs are not stupid.
They are aware there are discrimination out there.

It's just, we don't focus on the term "discrimination" every minute.

Reporting discrimination news is fine, but keep reporting it make people sick, you know.

If you are not negative, then you must be hyper or excited about the discrimination cases.
Since I only seen you posting topics regarding racism and also always post with bold font.

As a Chinese-Canadian/Canadian-Chinese, I feel proud to be bilingual. (and actually it's a credit/benefit to live in a multi cultural country)
Of course, it's very reasonable and to show respect to people, to speak in English to Caucasian here in Vancouver. (provided that you are capable to speak English) But what's the problem for speaking Chinese among Chinese? (provided that both Chinese can speak Chinese)

I migrated to Vancouver not because of it is a English speaking country. I will speak English and Chinese according to different needs and purposes. I still watch Chinese movies and TVB episodes, that doesn't make me a non-Canadian-Chinese. Even I bleach my face to white. I'm still a Chinese but not real white Caucasian. I feel no shame to be a non-Caucasian living in a western country at all.
