Student slams racist response to UBC assault

Adam Casey, the UBC student who came to the rescue of a fellow student who was being assaulted, said he doesn’t consider himself a hero and doesn’t want to be included in racist discussions of the incident.

“I think that some people are bigoted, they’re xenophobic, they’re racist and this is just going to feed their bias,” Casey told the Vancouver Sun. “We had one quite violent incident … and they’re going to ignore the fact that we have tens of thousands of students here from across the world and everyone gets along just fine.”
