Really?

In the 1980s and early 1990s, police say, the province's marijuana trade was dominated by outlaw motorcycle gangs like the Hells Angels and a smaller number of independent, "mom-and-pop" operations.
But in the mid-1990s, according to police intelligence reports, Vietnamese gangs began to make substantial inroads into the trade.
Since then, Vietnamese gangs have come to dominate the province's pot trade, especially in the Lower Mainland.
That dominance was highlighted in a recent study by the University College of the Fraser Valley that looked at all marijuana police files in the province from 1997 to 2000.
In 1997, five per cent of marijuana growing suspects identified in Vancouver were of Vietnamese origin, the study found.
By 2000, they made up 87 per cent of all suspects.
Sgt. Gord Friesen, head of the Surrey RCMP drug section, said about 90 per cent of the suspects arrested for marijuana growing in his city now are Vietnamese.

Hey, maybe you haven't been following the stories regarding Asian gangs and grow-ops. Lots of other stories and articles on it too.
Racist or reality? Pretty clear it is reality....
