A ton of Vancouver real-estate is Chinese owned.

It doesn't make racism ok obviously, but the sentiment that rich foreigners are pricing things out for Canadian citizens is a big part of why some jerkoffs are being racist and angry.

In the late 90s, when Hong Kong got turned over to China, a lot of rich people fled to Canada and bought a ton of real estate. It's been a contentious issue ever since. Possibly see more of that now that Hong Kong has fallen

It's happening in So Cal as well where a lot of the gentrification is due to rich Chinese investors buying old houses and making bigger ones. It's a situation happening in a lot of parts in LA and tons of people are not happy about that considering cost of living is already high as it is.

But yeah, people will always find ways to be racist. I knew a guy from my old town who said "why are asians complaining? They make the most money out of all the races here in America?" I then asked him "can you name me asian countries that wasn't China, Japan, or Korea?"

Capcom Vancouver was run by incompetent devs. Studio 100% deserved to get shutdown

I wouldn't say that was their fault. The blame lies on EA for running a con job.

Also see the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1998. The real estate thing became a big issue in California. CA real estate became seen as safer than Asian banks and the money flooded in.
