The Editor,
I am glad Alice Wong stood up so well, once her picture made English-speaking newspapers that she had tried to avoid. It defines who she is, and exactly what I thought when I have seen her speak and campaign. She is an elitist, she thinks she is better than the rest of us and received that assurance in her mind by being elected.
To say it is a federal matter, and not for cities to decide upon, she forgets where her votes come from, much like how David Chung has no idea where the shark fin comes from.
She does not represent the people of Richmond when she displays such disregard for what we want for our city. She has told us to butt out of her business.
The idea that she would only eat in front of Chinese news people and photographers borders on racism. Let us not forget how low she holds us in regard come the next federal election when her campaign will not be a federal matter, but one decided upon by the people of Richmond.
