.LOL Don't forget that Brangelina have adopted a rainbow of kids.... not sure if they have a complete set.Bad as we are, I would rather be a homo (not that I am) and/or a woman (not that I am) in Canada than in Black majority rule Zimbabwe or Brown Islamic Iran.
BTW: Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock and Madonna all adopted Black babies. Maybe we should all do the same
When the Brits were granted Singapore Island circa 1822, it was little more than uninhabited swampland. The Brits asked themselves which people would be industrious and intelligent enough to turn this swamp into the great port that it became? Yes, it was the Chinese and hence the great city of Singapore was born.
Wow. Thanks Rock. I actually learned something! Never knew the roots of the chinese connection with Singapore.
I was going to blame it on the Brits again. Just kidding! Don't know. Wasn't a former president of Peru (or some country near there) of Japanese ancestry?
Maybe you know those south americans are all the same. Maybe I have the countries mixed up.
Primarily to build the railroads and to open dollar stores. Remember when Idi Amin came to power in Uganda and the bastard tossed out all the E.I.'s (many found refuge in Canada)?
I know Brazil is Portuguese and everybody else is Spanish.Maybe you know those south americans are all the same. Maybe I have the countries mixed up.
No-one has made that claim. The claim is just that in the present day white Canadians and Americans tend to be more tolerant than non-white ones. I also pointed out this difference seems, to me, to disappear after a few generations. Immigrants do absorb these formerly European values, which can and should become global values.
Would have never guess Chinese as a Japanese handle just seems wrong for a Chinese person given the bad blood between the two countries.
It was something I heard frequently when I lived in China, and have heard repeated here too. I have more experience with Chinese culture than with other immigrant groups, but, again, my experience is that racism is far more prevalent in other countries than it is in Canada, and immigrants bring it here with them when they arrive. Basketcase automatically assumed that means I think Europeans are "better" which is false. Just earlier to the human rights party.
hmmmm details change....you claimed it was widely uttered by 1st gen immigrants..... now you add while living in china.
In terms of 1st gen immigrants are we talking 10, 100, 1000 different people saying these things? Roughly what percentage of 1st gens that you have met does this constitute?
Bull. You just don't hear about it as often as most white Canadians don't have significant contact with non-whites and are at no disadvantage because of racism.
Considering you routinely say others are worse and all the great things western culture has done that others haven't, it seems pretty obvious.
Why is bullying still a problem? even in mainly white schools kids will find differences between each other be it looks, socio economic background, who their parent/sibling is, how the y talk, how they act.
