Ditto!When all it all goes down and I watch the people I grew up with and their kids take back what is theirs, I'll smile and wave and wish them well as they skip my house.

The new X-men movie was surprisingly decent.
Casually dressed Canadian men, gotta wonder about them.
For the record, Captain America was pretty ****ty.
There were no wars and no agreements, no conquest and no treaties. We just made up all this shyte about legalities but have no substance to back it up. We are the ones living in a delusion, a fiction of our own making. Some day the stench of out own BS is going to overwhelm us. Your position is on quicksand. Just because we decided we had a right to make up the rules does not make it true, legal or right. If your assertions were true, why is this still being fought in the courts? Why is the government dragging out the land settlement process for over twenty five years now? Because the government doesn't have a leg to stand on. Our position with regards to the aboriginal people has been condemned by the world court on many occasions because our position is BS.
And if you don't believe me, I'll sick Bear on you!
I have sat in on a few land claims hearings and I saw no white lawyers on the native side of the table. During the [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nisga'a[/FONT] treaties I saw a lot of [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nisga'a[/FONT] lawyers.It is not the government that is dragging on the land claims. It is the white lawyers that work for the Indians that are making a career out of nothing. Paid for by taxpayers of course. As long as the money flows the land claims will drag on.
Same for Northern SK when it comes to mineral deals.I have sat in on a few land claims hearings and I saw no white lawyers on the native side of the table. During the Nisga'a treaties I saw a lot of Nisga'a lawyers.
You watch this clothing ad by Men's Warehouse and wonder, why does it appear a chubby white man is being rejected by a white couple? Another ad has another woman directing a man into a Men's Warehouse store to buy some proper clothing, like suits.
Then there is the Tim Hortons ad where two couples see a tennis court and compete for it, a compromise is formed and then they eat. No minorities/vismins here either, couldn't be, there is possible tension. Yet so many ads place minorities/vismins in them.
Commercial ad multiculturalsim does not seem to permit the rejection of an African or Asian man in the media. Or a situation of uncertainty such as a possible argument over something. Africans and Asian are always presented as good, working hard types, or having fun, trying or showing they are solid citizens. Not solid enough it appears.
Commercial ad multiculturalism is fake. Nauseating happytalk. Casually dressed Canadian men, gotta wonder about them. It just shows that the recent huge intake of immigrants over the past 20 years have not been integrated into the culture and Canada is not the diverse multicultural paradise we keep hearing about. To be always presented as positive, is not reality, it is fake.
The Men's Warehouse ads can be found here:

The only non-white characters in that movie were blue and red freaks and that one black character, Darwin. And they killed him off quick. But of course, the media only shows non-white characters in a positive light and Men's Warehouse fake multicultural monkey avocado baking powder. Oh sorry, I'm just trying to keep up with the drunken incoherent rambling.
Goodness - another semi-racist thread by DTM. What a surprise.
News to the confused: The primitive mind always wants to shoot the messenger because if you give bad news you must be bad. The media is particulary concerned about getting non-white minorities into ads. Call it media studies and race. Race of course doesn't exist, although that's why its mentioned in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Ohhh, but you're not supposed to think about it. You're supposed to do what the govt tells you to do, which is not think about it. Continue not thinking about it.
A&W has a TV ad where a chubby white guy complains they don't have a spicy burger.
Not all ads target all markets, it varies on the area & the demographic. Do you think it's wrong to have Chinese people portrayed in ads targeted towards a Chinese demographic in Chinatown Toronto??
Bang on. Ethnicity in advertising isn't new, in fact most marketers believe this demographic is as important as gender. Not entirely sure what DTM's point is...

If an ad is on TV, it targets all markets because all Canadians across the country can watch it. it's a mass medium because anyone can watch it. These are the "public" airwaves. This ad targets all markets, anyone who wants to eat a burger.
The same A&W ad also has an Asian looking woman eating, having fun and enjoying herself-perfect. She's a Canadian, a vizmin. All about getting the right ratio or balance I suppose.
