#racism When non-Asian people think that 1) Asians are a monolith 2) Chinese people are a monolith. It's like think Germans, Russians, etc are the same as Australians, New Zealanders, Brits, French, Irish, Swiss, Ukrainians, Americans, Canadians, etc. are the same. Anglophone countries the same.

I brought up the importance of French on signs in a Toronto hospital & was told it's not their priority. It's odd b/c there are French schools in the riding & francophones visit Toronto. Whether it's MPs, MPPs, councillors, or any org'n, there's a war against French language in Toronto & Ontario
