Living in Nanaimo as an Asian

First, I apologize for any broken English. I'm still learning it.

My girlfriend and I plan to move to Nanaimo in June this year. But the thing is, we are Eastern Asian. This is our first time living on the Island, so we are a little nervous.

It may seem silly, but to ease my worries a little, I would like to ask the seniors who live in Nanaimo.

As immigrants, will we have a hard time living in Nanaimo? Do we have to worry about racism, like Asian hate, compared to Downtown Vancouver?

We want to hear from people who live or used to live in Nanaimo.

Thank you!
