Asians don't like brown and Jewish people? In Vancouver Indian/Chinese are quite common, never thought it would cause anymore trouble than Chinese/white?

Someone has to say it, but like in many other cultures and among older generations - the darker the skin, the less accepted and more stigma applied. I don't know where the Jewish people come in from Lchoy's list. I've never heard of that...and if you are extrapolating from our grandparents generation then yes, the Japanese apply (destroyed and ransacked my grandparent's hotel) and perhaps even the English (my great-grandfather was killed in the Opium wars when Britain used it's navy to force China to accept more and more opium in exchange for goods). They had this stuff figured out long before the crack-dealers of today
