NOT ALL LOCAL INDO-CANADIANS ARE INVOLVED IN GANGS, DRUGS

EDITOR, THE TIMES:

It is just sad learning all this stuff [murders] is happening in Abbotsford.

But really ticks me off is how everyone believes that Indo-Canadians 
are so bad.

If any Indo-Canadian is dead, what's the first thought in people's 
heads? That it is drug-or gang-related.

Indo-Canadians are not all drug dealers. Maybe the most recent 
shooting is somehow related to drugs - or it could be random; we 
won't really know unless we find the killers.

Just because someone may have had a drug record in the past doesn't 
mean that's why they are killed.

Please stop thinking that we Indo-Canadians are dying because of drug issues.

Raman Dial, Abbotsford
