Staff at Vancouver’s Classical Chinese Garden say they were greeted with a racist tirade when they tried to enter the gates to go to work.
“It was just so much hostility in using that ugly slur and for what?” Ferguson told Global News on Saturday.
Ferguson said when he asked two people who were blocking the Garden’s entrance with several bags of bottles to move, racial slurs were hurled in the presence of his co-worker.
