I was out with my sister in law who is from small-town-small-minded Quebec. Of course, this poor woman has never seen so many different cultures reunited in one place at one time. This is Toronto. Where there is no minority and no majority. And of course, she said it "Damn imports". I would have liked to slap her however, violence isn't my forte.
There is nothing more ignorant that hearing someone say "I'm pure Canadian/American" Oh really?? So you are from pure native descent then?? A long pause then "Well uhh...no" precisely. Therefore, you aren't pure anything. You're just as "Imported" as the other guy you dumb fuck. Your people crossed the pond, participated in genocide and decided to claim a country that wasn't theirs. So you need to get over yourself.
That being said.
This country (Canada) was founded by caucasian christians. For hundreds of years, this was 99.9% of the population here. So let's use an example.
First off, I believe in only 1 race. That would be the human one. Extra terrestrials are beyond my comprehension therefore, I will only keep it at 1 race. Don't get me wrong, in no way am I arrogant enough to believe that we are the only planet with "Intelligent life" but you get the picture.
So. As I was saying. 1 race. Many, many different beliefs and customs. I don't care if you're a polka dotted neutre, if you're a good person, that's all I care about. However. As mentionned above, this was always a primarily caucasian, christian country. So for me to start wishing people "Happy Holidays" because I am Not ALLOWED to say anything else, for example, within government offices, really , really irks me. If I say, Happy Hannukah, that insults no one. But dare I say Merry Christmas...well shit, that's just wrong!!
My RCMP friend is not allowed to wear a chain with a cross as it is not a part of the uniform yet another officer may wear a turban for "religious" reasons. Hmmm...what??
Women need to be equal (I am a woman) blablabla. So because of this, my safety is at stake since the police department MUST hire a certain amount of women. Another above average male will be passed up due to a female who took a different physical exam than a male HAD to be hired to be equal.
Absolute shit.
If you have a choice between the best heart surgeon to operate on YOU, but are left to take a lesser qualified female Dr. due to quota rules, will you not scream your head off and threaten legal action??
It is what it is. It's bullshit.
And now, I am off to watch the Leafs get massacred. Why?? Why do I even hope for some type of good hockey??
Because
I
Am
Canadian-french-scottish-spanish-and oh yes. Human.
Care to discuss??
