Nonsense. One of the most multicultural cities around. While you do get a lot of certain races living in certain areas, most people have a wide variety of close friends from various races and love exploring other cultures.

- Got escorted out of a Safeway by security for telling a cashier she had really pretty eyes. She was fat, but had nice eyes, and thought I was just being a nice guy by paying a compliment.

Has nothing to do with a city, sounds more like you were creepy.

Had a photocopier at a workplace taped up in yellow tape for a week, because I made a photo copy for a meeting, not the unionized rep, hired to make copies. I had to sit through two hearings with the union, because I made 1 photocopy.

Again, issue with you. Nothing to do with any city.

Went on a lot of dates when I was there, and was asked how much money I make by about 30% of the gold digging women there. Never once has that happened in Calgary or anywhere else I have been.

Agree on this one

With sitting with a fellow Jewish buddy in a pub in Kitsalano, using our stereotypical Yiddish jew voices making stupid self deprecating jokes. Cops were called and we were escorted out because apparently, we were hardcore racists.

Seems like issue with you again

The place is hell on earth, with the most hypersensitive f'd up people on the planet. Deny the promotion, and save yourself the heartache. If you are used to the typical Prairie, not so PC, happy go lucky type of attitude, you will feel so out of place in Vancouver. Absolutely beautiful place to look at, but the ugliest, most unfriendly people you will ever encounter.

At some point, when you're the only one having horrible encounters with people all the time you need to look in the mirror and wonder what kind of presence you're putting out there.
