Toronto's Terrible

So says today's edition of the Toronto Star. They sent one intrepid reporter on a quest across My Home and Native Land to find out just why the rest of Canada hates T'rawwwnah.

I haven't read the article yet. But this caption caught my eye:

"We're more cosmopolitan here...we've got everybody. In Toronto, it's just English and Chinese." (emphasis mine)

WTF?

The preceding quote came from Malcom Jue, a Montreal man of Asian descent. He obviously hasn't set foot in the T-dot.

*shakes head*

Somehow I'm always stunned when people who should know better -- which at this point would include everyone -- spout stereotypes as though they're gospel.
