Jack Weber Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Not at all. What I'm suggesting is that if immigrants acted more like UK centric Canadians they would fit in better and would give a smaller target to hate. And their would be less animosity as well. The more non white, non UK immigrants want to cling of the ways of their homelands the more racism will exist in my opinion. For example, if Indian immigrants didn't wear turbans, cut their hair, learned proper English and did their best to fit in people would be less apt to target them as different. To the white psyche different = inferior. This is all imho and I could be completely wrong. That's fine, it's just my opinion on the matter. Would a Fascist revolt fix this problem???

Well, I would say it is pretty undeniable that if immigrants looked, talked and acted just like us then there'd be nothing to differentiate them. However, my concern is not how they look, talk or cut their hair, but their job skills and their cultural behaviour patterns and resistance to integration.

Smallc Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 their cultural behaviour patterns and resistance to integration. I've never seen this as a problem on the whole, as most immigrants seem to have no problem finding jobs and integrating into Canadian society (which is, BTW, a society based on many different cultures which has always evolved and changed).

jbg Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Ah yes, the philosophy of Chretien. Loud buzzer sound. That was one of the most beautiful speeches ever, ranking with "I Have a Dream", "I Have Been to the Mountain" and the "Gettysburg Address". So those who came in during McKinley's term are still Republicans ? You left out Theodore Roosvelt, the Republican President from McKinley's assassination in September 1901 through March 4, 1909.The assisters at the docks were local, not Federal types. In those days, the Federal Government's role was vague and distant, even more so than now. In the U.S. most voter registration efforts are done by local pols.

Most. How many negatives are in a 'most'? If I said to you, "Smallc, I have this lovely, economical car called a Ford Pinto. Don't worry, most of them don't blow up" would have you any doubts about buying one?

To the white psyche different = inferior. This is all imho and I could be completely wrong. That's fine, it's just my opinion on the matter. Well, here's the thing, especially for Toronto, then the GTA, then TROC: Toronto - Demographics: According to the United Nations Development Programme, Toronto has the second-highest percentage of constant foreign-born population among world cities, after Miami, Florida. While Miami's foreign-born population consists mostly of Cubans and other Latin Americans, no single nationality or culture dominates Toronto's immigrant population, placing it among the most diverse cities in the world. By 2031, Toronto's current visible minority population will have increased to 63%, changing the definition of visible minority in the city. More than 100,000 immigrants arrive in the Toronto area every year. UK-centric in the Toronto and the GTA is a thing of the past. And I believe the percentages have tipped by now, that Toronto is more immigrant than UK-centric. By your logic, if immigrants want to fit in, they should immitate, well, immigrants. And you just know it is only a matter of a few years and Georgetown will be swallowed up by the Brampton hegemony. Just a matter of time now. Hide your teacups! Quote

That's because you have no choice. We do have a choice about bringing in hundreds of thousands of immigrants every year.

Mr.Canada Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 And you just know it is only a matter of a few years and Georgetown will be swallowed up by the Brampton hegemony. Just a matter of time now. Hide your teacups! Georgetown people hate Brampton people. They always come to Georgetown to shop on the weekends. Well once the crime ridden and dirty Brampton people start getting too close to Georgetown I'm sure the people of Georgetown will move away. That's the way it goes as I've explained on here before. The whites move away then the immigrants move closer then the whites move away again. The races are constantly chasing each other. The whites with enough money move away that is the poor whites have to live with the rest that is left over. I don't live in Georgetown but the town is like 98% white and there are a lot of old school white boys there the ethnic people might have some trouble there. I don't think they'll be able to take it over as easily as they took over Brampton. We sold our home in Georgetown a few years ago and moved further out. We saw the writing on the wall back then that it was going to become infested sooner or later and better to get out while our homes are still worth full value.

Shwa Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 That's because you have no choice. We do have a choice about bringing in hundreds of thousands of immigrants every year. Of course I have a choice. But what I ultimately choose is not to succumb to fear and negatively over something that has proved to be very, very beneficial to Canada over the past 100 years or so. Look at the OP; the author has completely failed to show exactly how Immigrants should "Become Canadians" when the fact of the matter is, immigrants ultimately do anyways. They have to fit in here in Canada, because they have to walk down the street too. Quote
