The total visible minority population of the city of Richmond (as of 2016) is 76.3%, with the Chinese at 53%. That makes them the ethnic majority of the city. It's MP is represented by an ethnic Chinese, and so are 2 of their MLA's. Wouldn't an addition of a Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese translation of 'Richmond' better represent that? Translations of cities or places with minorities exists on Wikipedia. However, the Chinese in Richmond are not even the minority, but the majority.
In addition, both Cantonese and Mandarin combined is the mother tongue of 41.95% of the cities population, with English only on 33%. Ineedtostopforgetting ( talk) 21:57, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
Comment: In order to put this in the article, there needs to be a reference - a source. Ineedtostopforgetting, can you provide such a source? If not - if this insertion is merely your own translation of Richmond - then it does not belong in the article, per WP:Original research. -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:37, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

I think we should put this under the Vancouver 2010 Olympics header. Any thoughts? -- Icil34 ( talk) 21:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Icil34
