It's worse. There are people blaming the Chinese for driving up real estate prices. Maybe they'll pass a law making it illegal for Chinese to buy houses.
I once heard a firefighter in Markham refer to winter driving in Markham as the Chinese Ballet and the accidents he had to report to.

Always did agree,...never stated otherwise.

BUT,...problem is,...whenever the term racist is used,...it always points to a very select part of the population,...to think otherwise is at least naive,...or worse.

And if you even bothered to look at the subject AD,...it absolutely confirms.

FAST
I did read both the article and looked at the ad in question thanks.

Think people need thicker skin.

Kbear has a good point that a positive message of "welcome" would have been better.

So you won't tolerate Muslims?
I make a distinction between race (something you are born with and don't choose) and religion (something you choose and can disown). That said, I don't personally care what your beliefs are, so long as you don't impose them on others. Since that is exactly what Islam tries to do, in often violent ways, I take a dim view of it.

So, it sounds like exactly what you think.

I dunno.
I don't find Muslims nearly as offensive as Jehovah's witnesses, they are always out trying to convert people.
Could never figure that one out, sounds like a giant ponzi scheme. Don't they believe there's only 25,000 seats in heaven and you need to convert a certain amount to claim your seat?

That sect seems really weird, and they try to push their religion way more then the Muslims I've known.

Jehovah's witnesses, they are always out trying to convert people.

"As of August 2014, Jehovah's Witnesses report an average membership of approximately 7.86 million actively involved in preaching, with a peak of 8.2 million. Jehovah's Witnesses have an active presence in most countries, though they do not form a large part of the population of any country."

The Jehovahs aren't very successful at converting people as there are less than 9 million of them compare to over 1.6 billion Muslims. Maybe the Jehovahs need to take converting lessons from the Muslims.

A positive ad would have a rainbow of people welcoming the girl into the community....
You're proving the need for the ad. The implication is that she was born in the community but still seen as an outsider because of her skin colour/attire.

How often have you been stopped on the street by Muslims trying to convert you? When was the last time they came knocking on your door to 'save' you?

2015 Religious Landscape Survey: Jehovah’s Witnesses still have Lowest Retention Rate of all Religions

In other words: Only 34 % of people raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses stay in the organization (2007: 37 %). A staggering 66 % leave Jehovah’s Witnesses and choose another religion or are unaffiliated with a particular faith as adults. Catastrophic numbers for a denomination claiming to be the “happiest people on earth”.

Maybe, the ponzi scheme of theirs is pretty stupid.

Hey, did you see which religions suffer the most discrimination?

How many people do you believe accost Amal (née Alamuddin) Clooney or Huma (née Abedin) Weiner? Perhaps the woman allegedly from North York would have been accosted because she looks like she just got off the boat, and not so much because of the hue of her skin.

ALL total bold face lies.

Just were the hell do you get this shit.

Copy ONE post were I said any of the above,...until then,...STFU.

FAST
Use the right word. You mean "where" not "were". You are the biggest "troller" on this board and the nonsense and the bigotry speaks for itself. Your,...,...,..., is getting more ridiculous by the day. Go through your posts and take a closer look. I have more precious things to do.

Agreed, BUT, as has been used by some here, racism takes many forms.

How would you know what racist comments are made by other cultures about "whites".

Shit, even Latinos have a derogatory word for whites.

FAST
There, you go. Now picking on the Latinos.

I'm not the one that said: "Off course the terrorist should be stoned to death whether they are Muslims or Right wing terrorists".
It was a rhetorical statement designed to those who can condemn only the Muslim terrorists and not the right wing terrorists. They keep picking on the law abiding Muslims by lumping them in the same category as the terrorists.

Canada man is a prime example.
He likes to quote jihadwatch, a racist extreme right wing blog who's author Robert Spencer said:
“I have written on numerous occasions that there is no distinction in the American Muslim community between peaceful Muslims and jihadists.

Racism is racism, even if its targeted towards 'cultural racism'.

You're just proving my point; people assuming she's a scary immigrant because the way she looks. And no, if she was white she'd be a lot less likely to hear comments like that.

No I'm not,...idiot.

The point I made was that every culture has racism,...contrary to your simple minded beliefs,...idiot.

And you STILL have not proven any of the bull shit lies you state about me,...so once again,...until you do,...STFU.


FAST
You STFU. You started this whole crap. Obviously, you are brain dead when it comes to minorities. When was the last time you said anything positive about the Latinos or Muslims? You pick on me when I defend the law abiding citizens of all denominations and attack the terrorists whatever their race, cult or creed. So next time mind your own business if you do not want anyone responding to your stupid attacks.

looks like you have earned the title often associated with your jihadist pal,...footer,...now to be also known as Lying Coward.

L.C for short.

And once again,...loser,...until you can quote me,...STFU

"I have more precious things to do",...now isn't that,...precious


FAST
I can quote you from a distance when you come up with this,...,...,...,..., nonsense. Real stupidity. Obviously your ignorance is there for all to see, as you believe that anyone who speaks up for the law abiding Muslims are "jihadists". Again yet another attack on the minorities from someone that needs to go back to school.
