yes, in your own home, whatever, my husband and I call each other things we would not say outside
as well, its all in fun, but only between us. we grew up in a time when rude slang comments were
said quite a bit ,concerning 'other' nationalities, world war 2 era, and as the years went by, we realized that we grew up in a time
where people were very narrow minded about other nationalities, I saw that in my own relatives and
also my husbands relatives, I'm so glad Canadians have moved to a better place throughout the
years, and so have we.
I wish I could agree with you, I really do but it is just not like that. Racism is escalating and it's from all angles going out against all angles.
There is an ethnicity in Canada that targets caring, open minded elderly white people just like yourself for violent robberies and rape because you are white and no other reason.
How does that make you feel?
Well, there is two extremes in that matter. The "N" word is at one end and "kike" isn't likely to win you friends either, but terms like "frog" and "oatmeal savage" are generally taken in good humour. The main thing is the ability to be able to laugh at yourself & roll with the punches!
But it all evens out as a lot of them are A$$holes!
I think your point was just proven!
I don't feel anything from what is just your opinion, doesn't apply to me, I have my own views.
I am very aware of how racism has moved throughout the years in my part of the world. doesn't matter
how old I am, what colour I am, every race has its racists and bigots, people are people, some
races have suffered more than others, but all countries have their own numbers, just as we do.
when we were growing up we learned that the Europeans were very racist between 'each other', it was
easy to see for us, as my husband, when he was growing up lived in a place we all called little
Europe, and the adults of each race certainly stuck together, very friendly on the outside, but
they came to Canada with those feelings with them, and listening to conversations arounds tables,
they were unaware that they were racist, but they talked about each other as the 'race' the other
person was, with quite a closed mind. some became friends, but mostly it was a polite hello to
the different people of different races.
silly question, 'where do we stand' in being racist, who knows, we don't live in other countries to
know just how they treat other races, we should just be fair and accepting of others in our own
country, and not try to count how many compared to how many.
It makes perfect sense. Importing millions of racists doesn't make racism go away simply because you believe things are better than post WW2. It's getting worse.
I don't agree with you, simple. just because you say that to me, doesn't make it so.
there are certain groups, or types of people who hate and wish bad things for other certain
groups of people, because of their color/race, but the general acceptance of
others by the majority is much better now than in the past, in this country. there are many things that were
said in the past, that one would 'not' say now.
anyway, we'll just have to agree to disagree, cause I'm getting tired of this conversation, so
I'm off to do other things.
If you isolate yourself then yeah, of course it looks better but it isn't.
Google "rising rates of racism" and see what you find but I doubt you will, that would means leaving your comfort zone and ability to ignore it.

Perhaps, but we are much more accepting of Japanese people than we were 70 years ago..............for one example.
