the best thing about this thread is that more than half of the people are not thinking rationally or logically and are being hypocrits to some extent.
The point is everything happens for a reason and life is all relative.
Now as posted in an article from the National Post, 27% of crimes are committed by Blacks and they are 8% of the population. Now Indians(excluding tamils since they are sri lankan) are 15-20% or Toronto/GTA's population and less than 3% of crimes are committed by them. Percentages talk. I am stating this second ratio to counter the argument that this is a common war of minority vs majority which is obviously not the case.
I have no problems with blacks but I have a problem with Thug culture, hiphop is good, but some make the whole scene into a everyday life style even if they live in a double income household.
Now having many tamil friends and understanding the culture, they're are a great percentage of tamils in scarborough, and they do commit many crimes (99% violent crimes among each other, not robbery etc) and in 41/42 division they even have a whole dept called the "tamil task force" where a few officers are dedicated in investigating tamil youth etc. Now not even once in a few years has one tamil complained about this program, not even the youths and the parents are extremely happy that this was formed since they are concerned for future tamil youths in Toronto. Now aren't blacks happy that they are watched over more? don't they want to see an improving ratio of population-to-crime? I would think so? The point is even if the police spot check blacks more than other cultures because of the 1/3% of the cities crime, there is no need to worry since we live in a lawful society and if they didn't do anything illegal they wont be charged with possesion of drugs or a gun. Only if they did do something illegal then they should worry.
And for the argument that large crowds cause higher crime, I am not even going to start, there are way too many obvious counters to that argument.
Also just a question? When Toronto provide public funding programs at high-crime areas like regent park and create 'public' youth programs that offer basketball camps, local hiphop artist speeches why don't people complain then? There is a reason it is basketball and not golf or street hockey, there is a reason it is hiphop start speeches rather than Rockstar or country speeces, I am in no way talking about blacks but am talking about the thug culture caused by hiphop which is closely related. These campls are a very good idea and help the entire community, but no one complains about them? arent' they targetting someone?
the point trying to be made here is simple, People only like to complain about something when it is of a negative nature. Don't be biased. If you have a simple ethnic targetting complain, then complain about it whether it is beneficial to your community or derogatory to your community.
And me personally, many people like to cause fights at caribana, but I go anyways because if you don't look for trouble or try to avoid it , you can have a good time.
Sorry for making it long guys, i usually don't even like posting too much, but it looks like everyone is writing so just wanted to give my 2 cents
cya'
