stop racism in canada

[oceana]

I am an immigrant here in Canada, and I strongly agree with those who argue that new comers need to speak the official languages (depending on where they live). Here is why: There is absolutely nothing that prohibits these fellows from going to any language institution and learn the darn English. I am sick and tired of going to shops or anywhere for that matter and try to get service from somebody who can't put a sentence together. You wanna speak your mother tongue, do it at home. When you're talking to the rest of Canadians, you better know how to put your 'subject and verb' in the correct order!

Another thing about these whiners, if you can’t land a job then get busy with an English course instead of hiding in your community collecting monies the government took from my paycheck. I love it how these losers blame the government for their lack of skills, but I never hear them complain about the welfare check!!!! I’ve got an answer for those people: If it sucks so much, pack and take the same plane that brought you in. 8O

I thought one of the criteria for immigrating to Canada would be competancy in English? I guess they must have changed the rules...

Or French. Although I beleive refugees can be granted exceptions for humanitarian reasons.

While I'm not denying major problems with racism in Canada (I've seen it myself and have even been a victim of it on a number of occasions), I will say that if one chooses to move to another nation, he ought to be aware that no matter how skilled he was in his native country, the rules change in the host nation. The language isn't the same. How to make a CV and how to find work is different, work ethic and office culture, employer-employee relationships, and company client relationships are all different, with many new things to learn.

If I'm going to hire someone, I don't care for his skin colour, creed, or what have you. But I do expect him to know the local language and culture (or in the case of a particularly metropolican city) or one of the local languages at least.

If you move to Canada from China, I don't care that you have five PhD's. I want to know that you can speak the local language. If you can't then expect to be washing dishes (you're not even qualified as a waiter since you'll need to communicate with the clients.

Re:

I think not only the colored people face the racism but whites also face it in one form or the other.Me being an English faced it once in my high school as i was pretty passionate about Rap Music.As blacks are mostly involved in it so some times i faced a racial attack.But it does not affected me as I am linked with my uncle's Anti-Racism Organisation so i know exactly how to avoid such things to happen.

its not racist. its a standard that we hold ourselves to. We don't have a universal standard of education so why would we not expect people who immigrate to this country to be sufficiently trained by our standards?
