Coquitlam Realtor Shares 'Extremely Racist' Letter She Received In The Mail

Darpan News Desk, 26 Sep, 2018 12:41 PM
    A Coquitlam Realtor has shared an “extremely racist” letter she recently received in the mail.
     
     
    The letter was sent anonymously to Winnie Wu, an employee of Sutton Group West Coast Realty in Coquitlam, and uses a number of racial slurs as it angrily pins the blame for the region's housing problems on Asian buyers.
     
     
    "The citizens who belong here, who were here long before you people pushed your way in, have no use for you," it reads. "There is hatred beneath the surface. Believe it."
     
     
    It also ends with what appears to be a thinly veiled threat of property crime: "You should tell your client that letting a house sit vacant leaves it open to vandalism."
     
     
     
    Winnie Wu, a real estate agent in Coquitlam in the Lower Mainland, shared the letter she received on Facebook on Sunday. With no return address or signature, the letter contains numerous deorogatory terms and slurs directed at the Asian community. It was sent to Wu’s work address with Sutton Group West Coast.
     
     
    “An extremely racist letter I received in the mail. This type of hatred is appalling and should not exist in our community,” Wu said in the post.
     
     
    Coquitlam RCMP are investigating the incident and say charges are possible.
