*This video may trigger MapleMAGA & super patriotic moderate leaning Canadians because he speaks some hard truths about Canada.*
This video is so relatable on many levels for me & my family. Our lived experiences, during our first decade in #Canada was very similar to Professor Jiang & his family's experiences as #Chinese #immigrants in Canada. We faced the same kind of #racism & #poverty. My parents suffered a lot. They kept holding their heads high & tried to shield us from the worst of racial hatred that they both faced on almost a daily basis. My family was dehumanized by cruel, ignorant white people. We faced several racial hate crimes in the 80s. Those hateful racists never robbed us from our humanity though. That is still fully intact.
My Mom cut all of our hair at home until I was 13 years old. My parents would always look for free furniture/household items that people put outside for free. Me & my brothers started gleaning for free food/fruits everywhere we could, when I was 8 years old.
