How do you know that the users in these comments are white or of “European origins”?

Great point. Perhaps the people named John Hunter, Joyce Long, Norma Forbes, Matthew Wright, Mike Arsenault, Glenn Smith, Bob Purvis, and J Thebeau are not New Brunswickers from the UK and Europe but in fact are all of Asian, Middle Eastern, or African descent. That totally makes sense.

And they all got together on TJ to bash people with more typical names from those regions who committed crimes in NB and suggest that they get sent back to their or their ancestors' country of origin.

That sounds really plausible, thank you for such an intelligent addition to this dialogue.
