Immigrant Communities: Vivian Luk and Ninu Kang

immigrant communities: Are we welcoming them I absolutely think it's incumbent on immigrant communities to branch out, according to CBC. But the question we have to ask ourselves is why do they feel more comfortable living together she told On The Coast's Vivian Luk Are we, the other neighbourhoods welcoming them Or are we shoving them back into their own silos because that's where the comfort is, that's where they're not going to experience racism and neighbours using racial slurs on them Growing up on Vancouver Island, Kang says she was the target of discrimination, both verbally and physically. Ninu Kang, a director with MOSAIC, a non-profit that helps new immigrants and refugees settle in Canada, is one such person. She says things are better for immigrants and their children in B.C. now. Still, things are far from perfect. There is more diversity and inclusivity, Employers are being trained in cultural competency and there is a lot more support for newcomers.
