Yes, a kernel of truth is an appropriate measurement.
But, it is not just a "white people speaking bad about others" situation.
Many of the worst things I have heard about the Chinese have come from Korean, South Asian, and Taiwanese people I know in Vancouver.
Just have to add this because these days there is this bizarre concept that only white people have a monopoly on racism and prejudice.
In the end though, either way, ssiguy blows it way our of proportion. The guy has an amazing ability to magnify any negative aspect in BC / Vancouver (and Toronto as times) by about 100 X.
