Story originally from July, 2020, but it’s important so I’m reprinting it on this website.
CTV:
VANCOUVER — A woman caught on camera making racist remarks to a pair of women of colour in Coquitlam’s Minnekhada Regional Park has come forward to apologize and offer her version of what happened on Sunday evening.
“They said some things that triggered me and it made me angry and I said some things that I shouldn’t have,” said Andrea Tylczak, who is white.
The video starts in the middle of a dispute between Tylczak and two other women over proper etiquette in the park when it comes to picking berries.
Huh. Really makes you wonder why they start the video there. It’s almost like they were antagonizing this poor White Woman and edited the video down to the part where she snapped back at them.
The two women had broken branches off a bush so they could snack on the berries while walking.
Tylczak saw them with the branches and told them they should have just picked the berries and left the branches intact.
“Eat all the berries you want, just don’t take the bush with you,” she says shortly after the video begins.
Things escalated quickly from there with Elika Gholizadeh and her friend asking the woman to mind her own business.
“You know that is the f–king rudest thing you’ve said to me! Go back where you came from if you want to use language like that,” Tylczak says in the video.
First of all, what these two brown girls did was against the law, or at least bylaws. The teens had been, by their own admission, breaking the branches off of raspberry bushes because they were too lazy to pick the berries before walking. This destroys the bush for later years and hikers, but the two Persian Princesses didn’t seem to care about that.
Secondly, if you were wondering why Andrea went off on them, it’s because the actual video, which I can no longer find, starts a bit earlier, with Andrea stating quite politely that they shouldn’t damage the bushes before walking away. The video is then edited, and when we come back, we see a much more heated exchange. Unfortunately, as with CBC, I don’t know how to get CTV videos downloaded, so you’ll have to go over to the link provided to see it. Once again, that’s here.
At this point the girls start taunting Andrea by saying something that is cut out, and probably quite rude, before saying “why don’t you mind your own business”. Only of course, they keep repeating it to her as she’s walking away. At this point Andrea walks back and retorts with “you know that is the rudest thing you have said to me,” a line that clearly indicates that much of this conversation has been cut out. Then Andrea says, “go back where you came from if you want to do something like that,” at which point the Persian Princesses say, “oh why don’t you go back from where you came from you fucking colonizer.”
Elikha Gholizadeh, one of the two brown women.
Of course, calling a white woman a colonizer is a clear racial slur. There is no other reason to call her that, other than as a racial attack. Luckily I did some research, and figured out who one of the girls are, beyond the name given in the article of Elika Gholizadeh. She is, or at least was, a hostess at Earls Port Coquitlam, and has lived in Coquitlam her entire life, all found from her irregularly updated facebook page. I can only speculate who the other girl in the story was.
The article is written by Ben Miljure, of CTV BC, and curiously, does not mention the anti-white slur directed at the white woman. This serves the overall anti-white, and especially anti-white women attack that we have seen throughout the media. However, I wasn’t content to leave it as that. I took the liberty of calling into the CTV help desk inquiring about why they did not release the entire video. I made the video private, since it shows my face, and I’m not 100% sure I’m ready to doxx myself, although this is obviously something that will happen in the future. In any case, here’s the most relevant transcript from that video.
Me: I want to find the unedited video from the confrontation.
CTV Catlady: Okay you’ll probably have to reach our manager on duty. Uhm that’s not usually something we hand out.
Me: Why is that not something you hand out?
CTV Catlady: It’s the policy.
Me: But why is that the policy, because the video is clearly maliciously edited.
CTV Catlady: Okay this isn’t something um that I can debate with you currently.
She then proceeded to give me an email address and pretended that I could get the full video from them. As I suspected, this was a complete waste of time. I never received an email response from CTV.
