race doesn't matter in Canada, we are all called Canadians.

There is no African-Canadians or Asian-Canadians, just Canadians.

 

[Mosher]

Yeah, and in America we're all Americans. /endsarcasm

 

[dot80]

Haha exactly mosher.

 

[ilduce349]

No, in America, you call blacks African-Americans. In Canada, we call Canadian citizens Canadian regardless of skin colour, I am serious.

 

[dot80]

Im sure you do, canadians are always really nice and stuff. Americans aren't like that, at least in my experience.

 

[Mosher]

No, in America, you call blacks African-Americans. In Canada, we call Canadian citizens Canadian regardless of skin colour, I am serious.

Right, because racism ends at the Canadian border.

 

[ilduce349]

Toronto is the worlds most multicultural city.

Canada is the country with the most successful multicultural policy. (it failed in the US and in Europe)

Are some Canadians racist? Sure, but we have a low population of racists then other countries.

 

[Mosher]

There aren't many racists around the city I'm close to, does that mean that most of America isn't racist? No.

 

[ilduce349]

most of America isn't racist, but most people living in Canada aren't even Canadian...

 

[Mosher]

A good chunk of the people living on the Mexican border aren't American. There are LOTS of Asians living on the West Coast. The East Coast has TONS of Irishmen and Germans (I myself am German). A lot of people living in America aren't American, either. And we have our fair share of Canadians.

@Ilduce: most people I know, myself included, call white people white and black people black. This isnt racist, IMO the world is getting too politically correct and that needs to change. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the terms white and black. **** political correctness.

Canada and the US are both nations forged by immigration. I can see why you are saying that Canada is more multicultural as the US at one point was not very tolerant of racial equality.

Agree, but the fact that you call blacks black and whites white shows that you see a difference between them.

Your making immigration sound like a bad thing. The US is multicultural. But 75% of you are still White Christians. Canada is the most multucultural country in the world, and is one of the few places where it was actually done properly.

Greece is a nation state and so when we see a black or a chinese we say that he is black or chinese.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Have I missed something?
As far as I understand neither Yoshi nor Yoshi's ancestors are from china rather Malaysia.

 

[christos200]

What is Malaysia?

 

[hoplitejoe]

Try this

 

[SouthernKing]

So if I get this right, the people here that have ancestries that are not from their home countries are Yoshi (Malaysia), WIM (Brazil), Linkman226 (India, not sure about this one), and me (India)

 

[Mosher]

I'm German, does that count?
