People immigrating illegally is not really a racism problem is it?
How do you make that jump? Trump's ban on Muslims? His statement about a US Judge not qualified because of his "Mexican" heritage.
Americans want the cheap labor, they just don't want to see the cheap labour move into their neighbourhoods..
2 of my ex-wives are hispanic.. one born in Mexico, the other born in Seattle, USA.
I would travel around the USA with my American born wife and immigration and other officials would ask her for her papers and take one look at me and instantly think I was a US Citizen..
People in the USA look at an American born Hispanic (Chicana or Chicano) and still think they are immigrants or illegals.. it's an unfortunate mindset in the USA.
The laws may have progressed giving equal rights, but the mindset has not.
I was raised in Cornwall, Ontario.. lived a pretty sheltered life, pushed by my parents into judo classes, equestrian horse back riding, swimming, skiing, and hiking. My best friend growing up was a Native Indian from the The Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne, Andy Major.
I never really saw racism or used racist words until I moved to Texas and worked for Sam running a Fina Gas Station. Then I saw lots of racism.
Sam was from Pakistan, and a really swell guy..
But one day a customer walked into the store when Sam was in the back counting the cash and asked; "where is that Sand Nigger?" I was so sheltered growing up, I had no clue WTF he was talking about, until the guy said your boss.
22 years in Texas I learned a whole new vocabulary.
Today there is a lot of racism, bigotry and bios. Nothing has really changed over 100 years.. the mindset is pretty much the same, and that is very sad.
The great thing about Canada is that we have branches of government, such as the Human Right Tribunal that protect the rights of minorities. I don't agree with all their decisions and think there is some abuse.. but it's a check and balance to bad behaviour.
There are billions of people who would want to make a better life in the West.
Dude, where do you live? You see all that new construction and new developments going up everywhere?
Where the fukk do you think that money and those people are coming from.
Most of those new immigrants are coming here to create businesses, to be doctors, dentists, and fill a void that has only been created by todays youth more interested in getting on Canadian Idol than getting a real education.
Also todays youth are going to college and obtaining degrees that are useless and they remain unemployed and heavily in debt.
