Current Events > Asian Truckers say it's the WHITE TRUCKERS making their Lives a Living HELL!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

South Asian Trucker make up 16% of Truckers in Canada including Nihal Singh who pulled up to the border of Montana only to find it was blocked by big riggers on the other side and said it was the WHITE TRUCKERS who were blocking them from doing their job

Semi-trucks and pick up trucks blocked the border with the states that barred either side from going through after they demonstrated against vaccines and mandates.

He and other south asian truckers asked authorities when they could pass but that's when one man came out and got racist in his face saying "Go back to yor truck, go back to India. We have our own f***ing problems here"

The 28 y/o from Edmonton was disturbed by the racism as he and another south asian driver tried to find another way to cross but were also blocked since only some oversized vehicles can go through. The delay in work cost them 6000 because of it

He is now contemplating leaving the long haul industry after frustration and disgust with the blockades as he and other drivers do not share the same views as the white drivers blocking them.

It has been a bad experience for them in the last few months as they knew the mandates were coming for a long time now but his white colleagues didn't believe it would happen and kept holding their ground.

The majority of truckers including the asian truckers are vaccinated. In fact minorities make up the biggest share of vaccinated people in Canaa

He said they are being driven away by these blockades when there is already a desperate short of drivers in this industry where young drivers, women and retirement worker left the sector with 55,000 job vacancies are projected for 2023

Demand for drivers soared during the pandemic because of online shopping while the number of people entering has dropped due to stagnant wages, shifting labour patterns

The asian truckers belong to a community of a high vaccination rate in contrast to the white protesters who said the confederate flag waving trump supporters are destroying the industry and making their jobs impossible to do

Lovepreet Singh said the anti vaccine mandate has no resonance to him and what concerns him more is labour conditions, wage theft etc. He said, they don't even want to listen to their opinions, it's just, go back to your country and stuf like that

Kulpreet Singh has launched a Gofundme for the south asian truckers that feel disempowered by the alt-right voices

A retired worker who was head of the International Truckload Services said even a few hundred truckers with hate symbols and racism brandishing the border will have an effect on recruitment as many minorities will not want to enter this industry who will feel threatened by them

Justin Trudeau Liberals and Jagmeet Singh NDP have just passed the Emergency Act which will now come into effect to stop the border blockings

Does it surprise you that most if not all of the protesters blocking the border are white?
